Stirling Gallacher: Jennifer Taylor-Clark

Quotes 

• Jennifer Taylor-Clark : I know that you're very loyal to your family here.

  David Brent : I'd be loyal to his family, it's one big family.

  Jennifer Taylor-Clark : I'm just sensitive to the fact that you have strong, let's say emotional ties to your team.

  David Brent : Well, yeah, but there is the emotion as good in business syndrome, sure, notwithstanding the cruel to be kind scenarios...

  Jennifer Taylor-Clark : I'm sorry David, you've lost me.

  David Brent : Well, you're not looking at the whole pie Jenny. Wernham-Hogg is one big pie, and if they've let me in charge of that one big pie, then I'll be in charge of the pie, and the people are the fruit...

  Jennifer Taylor-Clark : I don't have time for the pie thing David.

  David Brent : Yeah, oh, well I'll take the job please.
