Nobody liked them?::2nd Scientist: Fewer than 5%::F. Ross Johnson: You said the results were gonna be terrific::Edward A.

Ross Johnson: To date, to here, to now?::1st Scientist: Upwards of 350.::F. Ross Johnson: We've spent 350 million dollars and we come up with a turd with a tip? God almighty, Ed!

Ross Johnson: Oh what did they say that was like? A fart?::Edward A. Horrigan Jr.: Yep.::F. Ross Johnson: Oh you're not serious!

F. Ross Johnson: We're not talkin' fuck you money. We're talkin' fuck EVERYBODY'S money.

Henry Kravis: He got the art of the double cross down real fast.

Henry Kravis: It's not the company. It's the credibility. My credibility. I can't just sit on the bench and let other people play the game. Not my game. Not with their rules.

Famous quotes by Vernon Jordan:

"I want to say absolutely and unequivocally that Ms. Lewinsky told me in no uncertain terms that she did not have a sexual relationship with the president. At no time did I ever say, suggest or intimate to her that she should lie."

"I was a little concerned. I thought maybe [Mr. Jordan] didn't really understand . . . what it was that was happening here with me being subpoenaed and what this really meant. Well, we've had phone sex."

"September 11 stands on its own as a terrible tragedy."

"The last job I applied for was to be a bus driver for the Chicago Transit Authority in 1957."

"A lot of companies make diversity a part of the performance goals against which an executive gets paid. Just as you have to make a certain sales number, you have to make a diversity number to get your bonus."

"Every company, every boardroom in which I sit, has a plan, and they have objectives, goals, and a process. And to make it work, the pressure and incentive have to come from the top."

"My mother was the president of the PTA at every school I attended."

"But there will come a time and a place to give back, and each individual will recognize that time and place."

"You have to be careful how you're using the word boycott."

"Terrorism is not new to black people."

"I had a sense of what leadership meant and what it could do for you. So am I surprised that I am sitting up here on the 62nd floor of Rockefeller Plaza? No."

"What I know about this world is that white people will take care of themselves. And what I have learned is that if you are where they are on an equal basis, they cannot take care of themselves without taking care of you."

"I'm here because I stand on many, many shoulders, and that's true of every black person I know who has achieved."
