Chris Messina: Reese Lansing

Quotes 

• Reese Lansing : I know everyone on this floor thinks I'm an asshole. But, I run a good company. And that's all I've ever wanted to do. Run a good company that makes good products. And we may have a political difference on this, but I take a lot of pride in being a job creator.

  Sloan Sabbith : Okay.

  Reese Lansing : You really want to argue the indisputable fact that I cut paychecks to 141,000 people?

  Sloan Sabbith : Our difference of opinion isn't political; it's religious. I'm an economist and in my church it's your customers who are the job creators. And no one here thinks you're an asshole.

  Reese Lansing : Really?

  Don Keefer : [Just entering the room]  I do.
