Quotes2

  • Dennis Taylor: Hamilton, did you threaten this customer or use profanity in any way?
  • Brad Hamilton: Well, he started it; he called me a moron, Dennis.
  • Dennis Taylor: [firmly] Answer! Did you threaten this customer or use profanity in any way?
  • Brad Hamilton: Yes.
  • Dennis Taylor: You're fired.
  • Brad Hamilton: Yes, sir, can I help you?
  • Businessman: Uh, yes, this is not the best breakfast I've ever had and I'd like my money back.
  • Brad Hamilton: Uh, okay, I believe you have to fill out a form for that.
  • Businessman: Uh, no, I'd like my money back now.
  • Brad Hamilton: I'm sorry, it doesn't work that way. You see, I have to fill out a form and--
  • [looks down at the half-eaten breakfast]
  • Brad Hamilton: --well, you ate most of it, already, so...
  • Businessman: [points at the 100% Guaranteed sign] You see that sign? It says "100 % Guaranteed". You know what the meaning of "guarantee" is? Did they teach you that here?
  • Brad Hamilton: Sir, I...
  • Businessman: Look, just put your little hand back into the cash register and give me my two dollars and seventy-five cents back, please...
  • [looks at Brad's name tag]
  • Businessman: ... Brad.
  • Brad Hamilton: Sir, if you'd just give me a minute, I'll find the forms. I'll take care of everything.
  • [gets down to search under the counter]
  • Businessman: I don't have a minute. You made me late enough. I am so tired of dealing with incompetence.
  • [coming out of the restroom, Arnold hears the angry customer and goes back in]
  • Businessman: It says "100 % Guaranteed", you moron!
  • Brad Hamilton: [jumps up angrily] MISTER, IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP, I'M GONNA KICK ONE HUNDERED PERCENT OF YOUR ASS!
  • [hearing the commotion, Dennis immediately appears]
  • Dennis Taylor: Uh, is there a problem here? Can I help you, sir?
  • Businessman: You bet you have a problem. Your employee here threatened me with violence. I'm surprised. I eat here, all the time, and I usually get good service until today. All I wanted was money back on this breakfast. It was a little undercooked and he threatens me with violence. Now, I'm going to speak to your supervisor...
  • Dennis Taylor: [holds up a hand to stop him] Uh, I can take care of this. Mr. Hamilton, did you threaten this customer with violence or use profanity in any way?
  • Brad Hamilton: Well, he insulted me, first. He called me a moron, Dennis.
  • Dennis Taylor: Answer me! Did you threaten this customer with violence or use profanity in any way?
  • Brad Hamilton: Yes!
  • Dennis Taylor: You're fired.
  • [to the customer, who smiles happily at Brad]
  • Dennis Taylor: I'm sorry, sir, I'll refund your money, right now.
  • [Brad angrily takes off his hat and apron and storms towards the exit]
  • Dennis Taylor: Hope you won't hold this against us. You know how kids are, these days. Here we are. Perhaps another breakfast?
  • Brad Hamilton: [slams his hand on the men's restroom door] I hope you had a hell of a piss, Arnold!
