David Brent:
Today I'm doing the staff appraisals, and some people get a little bit nervous about that 'cos they think they're walking the long mile to put their head on the block. But they're wrong, it's a chance for them to tell me where we're going wrong. It's very much an opportunity...

David Brent:
Well, no, that sounds bad. It's not a witch-hunt, we're not trying to find out who the worst people are.

Gareth:

David Brent:

Gareth:
I've underlined the worst ones.

David Brent:
You're missing the point.

[looks at Gareth's form]

David Brent:
Yep.
