I missed the introductions. "I'll use my manager instinct to figure out who's important."

"Only a senior executive could get away without looking so disengaged."

"I'll mirro his mannerisms so he'll like me."

"Now for a witty side comment."

"Ha ha! That will happend when monkeys fly our of my nose."
