Aaron: "And remember how you rode Stefani's coattails and salted her adorable game?"
Surya, verbatim: "Absurd! Absurd! That is absurd!"
Nicole: [Could stop a clock]
Trump: "Nicole, did you see Surya sell anything or do anything at any point?"
Surya: "Aimee! Tell them I'm awesome!"
Trump: "Hold it! Nicole?"
Nicole: "I wasn't there but I don't think there was a lot of planning overall."
Aaron: [Hangs head; looks scrumptious]
Trump: "So is that Aaron or Surya?"
Nicole: "I already told you! Aaron! For no reason I can explain, because I'm worthless!"
Aaron: "Nicole, are you in reality a moron?"
Surya: "Aimee! Tell them I can sell things!"
Aaron: "Um, Aimee hasn't seen anybody else on the team do anything, so that's not really relevant considering three of us are sitting here."
Jacob: "Good point, actually."
Aimee: "Aaron, did you sell on this task?"
Aaron: "Eventually!"
Aimee: "By profession you are..."
Aaron: "A salesperson."
Aimee: "So you could have helped?"
Aaron: "Remember how being a Project Manager works? You wander around staring at things and playing Jesus to the lepers in your head and acting like you've just dropped acid, for hours at a time? Those unicorns aren't going to pet themselves, and as you know the rainbow crop is very susceptible to frowny-face this time of year."
Aimee: "True that."
Sean: "Aaron, you should have been working the traffic throughout the store -- and there was no outdoor signage. Is that you, or Surya?"
Aaron: "Me, via Surya. Aimee, though, if I should have been selling then Surya should have been doing marketing, since that's his profession."
Aimee: "I was a PM and I know how hard that is. How the Grumblies and the Wickerflims play pranks on each other if you're not there to keep order. How the petalfairies will always drink too much dew from the morning blossoms and then their stomachs will be upset, if you're not there to watch. How you can sooth a petalfairy's rumbling tummy with just a quick hug and the light from a peppermint star. But we're also both salespeople, and that's what we're best at. Above delegating or anything else related to Project Management, is truly Sales."
Jacob: "That...has nothing to do with anything. What are you talking about?"
