“I really enjoyed our conversation, and I had a proposition.”
“I can’t. You’re going to be the most perfect person for someone. You are so nice to your mom and other people and paper towels… I’m just, I’m not that person. I’m so sorry.”
“Um… my proposition was that I undercut your vendor for paper goods and office supplies. I’m a sales rep.”

OUTLANDER

“You know what I have seen?”
“What?”
“I’ve seen that you’ve got a spectacular set of baby browns.”
“Well, thank you. That’s very kind of you.”
“And those gams aren’t bad, either.”
“OK.”
“Big, big money with sticks like that in this line of work.”
“Noted.”
