Official transcript

I found a clever way to write my application code in one hour! "Normally this sort of thing would take weeks."

"I assume my high level of efficiency will be recognized and rewarded."

"Let me know how that works out for you."

"You did all of that in one hour?"

"Yes. I did."

"From now on. I expect you to finish all of your projects in one hours."

"Otherwise I'll assume you're ripping off the company."

"You could have warned me."

"That's not how experience works."
