Sarah Silverman Jesus Is Magic, 2005 · on Bosses
“I've sued my manager for sexual harassment. And it's real hard, and a big strain on me. Because he hasn't done anything.”
Her signature sweet-voiced monstrousness; the reveal reframes everything.

His life philosophy: think about what you're going to do, then don't do it — e.g. when the boss asks for a report by Friday.
“And then he comes in on Friday and goes, "Where's my report?" And you say, with a big grin on your face, "I didn't do it!" And he goes, "Why not?" and then you say, "Because I didn't want to disappoint you!"”
A slacker philosophy delivered as a gift to the boss.

“My manager will send me anywhere he wants to, 'cause he doesn't have to fuckin' go.”
Short and true; a grumble more than a twist.
