Official transcript

Boss: Company policy says I have to rate one-third of my staff as "Does not meet expectations."

I chose the two of you because you have no upper body strength. This way it's safer if you go berzerk. I thought you said I should tell them the reason I picked them. Catbert: Not the real reason.
