Open source transcript

I'LL NEED YOU TO SIGN A NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT BEFORE I CAN SHOW YOU OUR NEW PRODUCT.

YOU WASTED A TRIP HERE BECAUSE I WONT BE DOING THAT.

THE FACT THAT YOU EVEN ASKED ME TO SIGN AN NDA TELLS ME YOUR COMPANY IS INCOMPETENT.

I PREFER GIVING MY BUSINESS TO A VENDOR WHO CAN SHOW ME THEIR PRODUCT WITHOUT GETTING A LAWYER INVOLVED.

YOU COULD SIGN IT WITHOUT HAVING YOUR LAWYER REVIEW IT.

DO I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT?

WELL?

DO I?

ONLY FROM YOUR CHIN TO YOUR FOREHEAD AREA.
