"She didn't even consult me."
American Auto
"She just hopped on the phone like,"
American Auto
""Hey, world, we're gonna make a $10,000 car"
American Auto
""that I haven't bothered discussing"
American Auto
"with my Head of Communications.""
American Auto
"Like, what is the point of my job?"
American Auto
"Don't start pulling that thread."
American Auto
"So is a $10,000 car even possible?"
American Auto
"Ah, if it is, it'd be a piece of crap."
American Auto
"We'll have to rename it the Payne Turd."
American Auto
"Well, it's my family's name"
American Auto
"who's gonna be forever tied to the turd?"
American Auto
"Pretty sure it's been tied to worse."
American Auto
"- Like what? - Blood diamonds."
American Auto
"- Nazis. - Sex stuff."
American Auto
"Malcolm X assassination."
American Auto
"My question is, who is the market for this?"
American Auto
"I mean, who are the people that only have $10,000"
American Auto
"to spend on a car but refuse to buy pre-owned?"
American Auto
"Okay, so do we tell Katherine"
American Auto
"that we don't think the car is a good idea?"
American Auto
"- Oh... - [chuckles]"
American Auto
"Or is everybody too scared?"
American Auto
"Scared? Of Katherine?"
American Auto
"When you say scared, do you mean--"

"Then we can save another $74.13"
American Auto
"by getting rid of the passenger-side mirror?"
American Auto
"Ooh, okay."
American Auto
"Are we allowed to get rid of a sideview mirror?"
American Auto
"Legally, you only need one."
American Auto
"Mm-hmm, and safety-wise?"
American Auto
"Legally, you only need one."
American Auto
"So, if we take these extensive"
American Auto
"and, some might even say questionable, cuts,"
American Auto
"we'll be able to retail the Pika for roughly $11,500."
American Auto
"Mm. Huh."
American Auto
"Well, I promised that we would sell the car for $10,000."
American Auto
"Yes, but $11,500 is the cheapest car"
American Auto
"on the market in decades."
American Auto
"Yeah, I know. It's so exciting."
American Auto
"So I guess the question is,"
American Auto
"how do we get it down to 10 grand?"
American Auto
"Honestly, I've been through it a dozen times."
American Auto
"There's nothing left to cut."
American Auto
"I mean, I hear that, and you're the expert."
American Auto
"I respect you."
American Auto
"But what I'm asking is not can you do it,"
American Auto
"but how will you do it?"
American Auto
"You see the difference?"
American Auto
"Um, we can't."
American Auto
"Oh, oh."
American Auto
"Let's try not to use the C word."
American Auto
"Oh, he said "can't," not--"
American Auto
"Can't, yeah. Oh, I hate that word."
American Auto
"Can we ban that from the building?"
American Auto
"Hey, Dori. Could you please write a memo?"
American Auto
"Yep, I can do that."
American Auto
"Nice internalizing."
American Auto
"Okay, it's just that I ca--"
American Auto
"I do not currently see a way"
American Auto
"to reduce the price any more than we already have?"
American Auto
"Well, we're pitching to the board tomorrow."
American Auto
"So I look forward to seeing how you rise to meet the challenge."
American Auto
"Good for you."
American Auto
"Oh, man, giving up your dog?"
American Auto
"Yes. Yeah."
American Auto
"I thought rescuing a dog from a shelter"
American Auto
"would give me some sense of purpose"
American Auto
"or fill some hole in my life, but turns out, nope."
American Auto
"Just a giant pain in the ass. So what's the point?"
American Auto
"Unconditional love and companionship?"
American Auto
"Yeah, well, you can get an escort"
American Auto
"for half of what it costs to feed this thing."
American Auto
"You interested?"
American Auto
"No, no, no, no, no, I'm not in market"
American Auto
"for an aggressive dog that has biting issue?"
American Auto
"Well, you can drug it, you know."
American Auto
"Pop some Dramamine in its kibble in the morning."
American Auto
"It'll be like a big sleepy, furry rug all day."
American Auto
"Think I'm good."
American Auto
"Well, think about it."
American Auto
"You know, the two of you could really work well together."
American Auto
"I'm sensing a real connection."
American Auto
"She can't just say "figure it out""
American Auto
"as if the problem is I'm just being stubborn."
American Auto
"Some things can't be done."
American Auto
"It'd be like saying, you know,"
American Auto
""Go and invent time travel or a perpetual-motion machine.""
American Auto
"What's a perpetual-motion machine?"
American Auto
"It's a machine that runs forever--it's impossible."
American Auto
"Doesn't seem that hard."
American Auto
"I think she's just trying to motivate you."
American Auto
"If it's really not possible, she'll understand."
American Auto
"She is a rational person."
American Auto
"Is she? I'm not so sure."
American Auto
"What if you used, like, a hand crank"
American Auto
"or something to keep the machine going?"
American Auto
"Nope."
American Auto
"Thanks for the backup in there, by the way."
American Auto
"I appreciate it, friend. - I didn't do anything."
American Auto
"Exactly. You're the closest to her."
American Auto
"If you're not willing to speak truth to power, no one will."
American Auto
"Okay, why is it impossible?"
American Auto
"[sighs] It violates the laws of thermodynamics."
American Auto
""The laws?" Okay, narc."
American Auto
"Shut up. A, I'm not the closest to her."
American Auto
"Don't even think she likes me. B, you're the engineer."
American Auto
"It's not like hearing it from me is gonna change her mind."
American Auto
"Imagine if someone on the "Titanic" told the captain,"
American Auto
""I'm not an engineer."
American Auto
"But are we a little short on lifeboats?""
American Auto
"- Fine. I'll talk to her. - Thank you."
American Auto
"Hey, guys."
American Auto
"I know you didn't mean to do this."
American Auto
""Titanic"'s a bit of a sensitive topic for me,"
American Auto
"Ten Paynes were on it, all survived."
