Brian A. Schwartz: Dave

Quotes 

• Mary : I'm putting you down as "Very Hard".

  Craig : I would say twenty thousand very hards, plus or minus fifty percent.

  Mary : I'm afraid each change request can only be assigned a single difficulty rating. What about you, Dave?

  Dave : I'm also "Very Hard."

• Paul : We're going to fit this into our current release schedule, Bob.

  Dave : I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to say that's impossible.

  Mary : Nothing's impossible.

  Dave : This is.

  Craig : I think what my dear colleague, Dave, is trying to say is that this is beyond our capabilities as an organization to complete.

• Dave : Please, listen to him. This could destroy Synergy Wireless as a corporation and take us with it. We'll spend years working 80-hour weeks out of our cubicles, reeking of BO, sleeping between system builds and, when it fails, the rest of our shattered lives will be spent wandering the desert from headhunter to headhunter, begging for one last chance at a project with a rational budget and timetable, or at least one that doesn't violate basic tenets of space-time!

• Dave : Synergy's going to hell because we have inept leaders, no direction, we can't make difficult decisions and, since we pay shit, we hire any moron that walks in the door, regardless of their qualifications.

  Craig : Yeah... What's your degree in?

  Dave : Comparative literature... (beat) You asshole.

• Dave : There's an agenda?
