Quotes 

• Gus Hedges : Geoff, what are the early signs of stress that we should look out for?

  Geoff : Well Gus, basically various key indicators, such as insomnia, anxiety dreams, short attention span, a morbid obsession with trivial symptoms, sudden changes of mood, temper tantrums...

  Dave Charnley : ...stabbing people...

  Geoff : ...sarcasm, irrational aggression, these are all possible indicators of a build-up of stress.

• Sally Smedley : You're saying I'm unpopular in the office?

  Gus Hedges : In some respects, yes.

  Sally Smedley : And what basis do you have for saying that?

  Gus Hedges : Well for a start there's the um, graffiti. In the lift. And in the toilet. And in the canteen. All of it, not... totally complimentary about you.

  Geoff : Yes, I think perhaps Gus we're getting *overly specific* here!
