Meme It!Michael:I am going to give you a piece of paper. I want you to write down how much you want, and I want you to slide it back across the desk to me.
Darryl:Why can't I just... tell you?
Michael:Because, that is the way these things are done. In... films. [Darryl writes the amount and starts to hand the paper to Michael] No, slide--- slide it, yes.
Darryl:There you go.
Michael:Oh. [scoffs] Come on. Be serious.
Darryl:I am serious, Mike. That's a 10% raise. That's what I want.
Michael:I... I can't give you that, I--- I don't make this much.
Darryl:Come on, be for real Mike.
Michael:I don't. Want me to prove it to you? There is... a pay stub.
Darryl:[laughs] Are you serious? You're earning this?
Michael:Plus perks, yes.
Darryl:Mike, this is barely more than I make. You been here ten years, dog. [laughs]
Michael:Fourteen years.
Darryl:Ho-ho!
Michael:No, please, please...
Darryl:Oh, I'm sorry Mike, some of my folks got to hear about this one. [texting on cell phone] Ah. [laughs]
