Bob:
[Shows them a picture of his children, after having been informed he's been let go] What do you suggest I tell them?

Natalie:
Perhaps you're overlooking the positive effects your career transition will have on your children.

Bob:
The positive effects? I make about ninety grand a year, unemployment is two hundred fifty bucks a week. Is that one of your positive effects? We get to be cozier because I won't be able to pay my mortgage on my house so maybe we can move into a nice one bedroom apartment. And I guess without benefits I'll be able to hold my daughter as she suffers from her asthma that I won't be able to afford the medication for.

Natalie:
Tests have shown that children under moderate trauma tend to apply themselves academically as a method of coping.

Bob:
"Go f*** yourself", that's what my kids will think.

Ryan:
Your kids' admiration is important to you?

Bob:
Yeah of course.

Ryan:
I doubt they ever admired you.

Bob:
Hey, a**hole, aren't you supposed to be consoling me?

Ryan:
I'm not a shrink I'm a wake-up call, I see guys who work at the same company their entire lives, guys exactly like you. They clock in and they clock out and they never have a moment of happiness. You have an opportunity. This is a rebirth. If not for you, do it for your children.
