The best-ever line about facing layoffs
In the 1987 movie "Broadcast News," there's a scene where the head of a TV network's Washington, D.C., bureau emerges from his office with an employee he has just let go.
Hoping to strike a conciliatory tone, the bureau chief says "Now if there's anything I can do..."
And the older guy who has just lost his job says, "Well, I certainly hope you'll die soon."
