Up in the Air-7

Work together.

• That’s a hell of（强调） a way to welcome her to the team.

• Am I the only one that sees that by doing this we’re making ourselves irrelevant(无关)?

• frankly, we’re making you irrelevant.

• Don’t blame me. Blame the high fuel costs（燃油费）. Blame insurance premiums(保险费). Blame technology. You know, you’d better watch yourself（小心）. You’re a little too young to become a dinosaur（原指恐龙，这里指保守）.

• I’m not a dinosaur.

• I want you to show her the ropes（秘诀）.

• What do I know what goes on here? Get Ferguson to do it.

• Well, I’m sorry. I don’t think a MySpace page qualifies you to rewire（重整） an entire company.

• Bingham, here’s the boat. And here’s you. Do you wanna be in the boat?

• We’re ringing the bell（我们一定会成功）. We’re rounding everybody up（召集所有人）. You wanna stay out there a little bit longer, you’re welcome to do it, but you will not be alone, okay? You let me know.

• I really like my luggage.

• That’s exactly what it is, it’s luggage. You know how much time you lose by checking in?

• I don’t know. Five, 10 minutes?

• Thirty-five minutes a flight. I travel 270 days a year. That’s 157 hours. That makes seven days. You’re willing to throw away an entire week on that?

• You’re not gonna need that. They have neck pillows（颈枕） on the plane.

• I’ll give you this.

• I can just meet you at security（安检）.

• Never get behind people traveling with infants. I’ve never seen a stroller collapsed（婴儿车折叠） in less than 20 minutes.

• Old people are worse. Their bodies are littered with(充满) hidden metal, and they never seem to appreciate（明白） how little time they have left on earth.

• Here you go. Five words. Randomly selected for additional screening(随便选一个检查).

• Asians. They pack light, travel efficiently, and they’ve got a thing for slip-on shoes. You’ve got to love them.

• That’s racist（种族歧视）.

• You mad at your computer?

• I type with purpose.

• What is it that you’re working on so furiously(狂怒的)?

• I’m building a workflow（工作流程） of firing techniques. It’s a questions and responses, actions and reactions. It’s a script taking you through the steps of firing someone.

• Well, theoretically, you could put it in the hands of anyone and they’d be downsizing immediately. All you have to do is follow the steps.

• what is it you think we do here?

• We prepare the newly unemployed for the emotional and physical hurdles of job hunting, while minimizing legal blowback（法律反击）.

• That’s what we’re selling. It’s not what we’re doing.

• What are we doing?

• We are here to make limbo（地狱边缘）tolerable（可忍受的）, to ferry wounded souls across the river of dread（害怕的） until the point where hope is dimly visible(隐约可见的).

• And then stop the boat, shove them in the water and make them swim.

• That’s really impressive. You’d put that in your book.
