How's your new job, James?
My friends call me Mr. Bond.
How's your new job, Mr. Bond?
It isn't what I expected it to be.
Is that so?
I have a lot to offer, but nobody will listen to me.
That must be discouraging.
It is. I'm ready to turn in my resignation letter.
Don't change horses in midstream.
Oh.
It takes time to build credibility.
Okay. Thanks for the advice, Sachi.

Sachi, good advice.
Uhhhhh...
What... what is that?

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
True. I'm not being very nice.
Maybe he's planning to take you somewhere.
You think so?
I overheard him saying something about Maui.
Oh, that'd be sensational.

Aloha!

From the Suwanee River to Maui?

The trouble is, he turned it down.

Well put, Gina.

Well, good-bye for now.
Bye! May the Force be with you.

The Star Wars thing, right?
Yes, I like that.
May the Force be with you.
May the Force be with you.
