[John is in Thomas' office for being late and for Ted damaging one of the rental cars]
Thomas : John, it's almost 10:00.
John : I know, sir. I'm sorry, it wasn't my fault.
Thomas : What do you mean?
John : Why? I, I guess I wasn't really prepared for a follow-up question.
Thomas : John, all you got to do is to not fuck up, and you get my job when I go to Corporate next month. You're the new branch manager. All you got to do is not fuck up.
John : I realize that.
Thomas : Good. Glad to hear. Because in a month, my life could be your life. A cushy, $38,000 a year branch manager who is personal friends with Tom Skeritt? Not a bad life, is it?
John : No.
Thomas : [Taps desk] Let me show you something that I don't like to show people, because I don't want them treating me differently.
[Pulls out a picture frame from his top drawer]
Thomas : Lo, that's me and Skeritt.
John : Wow.
Thomas : Goddamn right, wow.
[Places picture frame back in drawer]
Thomas : I'm gonna dock you for dinging the car and for showing up late, okay? Try to be a little more responsible tomorrow.
John : I will, sir. I promise.
[as Thomas writes the disciplinary report, John points at him with both hands]

Thomas : What?
John : Top Gun.
Thomas : So?
John : Tom Skeritt.
Thomas : I know that. Get out of here, okay?
John : Thank you, sir.
