Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) loses his job. He's called in for a meeting with staff relations manager Brad Dupree (Barry Del Sherman)...
Brad (reading aloud a letter which Lester wrote): "My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and at least once a day retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off, while I fantasise about a life that doesn't so closely resemble Hell."
Brad (to Lester): "Well, you obviously have no interest in saving yourself."
Lester: "Brad, for fourteen years I've been a whore for the advertising industry. The only way I can save myself now is if I start firebombing."
Brad: "Whatever. Management wants you gone by the end of the day."
Lester: "Well just what sort of severance package is management prepared to offer me, considering the information I have about our editorial director buying pussy with company money, which I think would interest the IRS as it technically constitutes fraud? I'm sure some of our advertisers and rival publications might like to know about it aswell, not to mention, Craig's wife.."
Brad: "What do you want?"
Lester: "One year salary, plus benefits."
Brad: "It's not going to happen."
Lester: "Well, what do you say I throw in a little sexual harassment charge to boot?"
Brad (laughing): "Against who?"
Lester (laughing): "Against you! Can you prove that you didn't offer to save my job if I let you blow me?"
Brad: "Man.. you are one twisted fuck.."
Lester: "Nope. I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose."
