John Pollono: Tyler

Quotes 

• Randall Pearson : Ten years, Tyler. I've worked here for ten years. I brought in 80% of our clients. I grew this company from a six-man operation into a sixty-person machine. I've given you twenty-hour days, man. Like, nights away from my wife and children. My father died, man. And on the day of his memorial, you sent me pears, which... I'm allergic to. And you know this. Because at the lunch where you hired me, we ate roquefort salad and I went into anaphylactic shock.

  Tyler : Randall...

  Randall Pearson : And along with the pears that could have killed me, you sent a card with a one-line Hallmark message and a typed-out signature: "From the team." And for all this, Tyler, I thank you. You see, for days, I've been plagued by this question: how do I honor my father's legacy? Then I realized I honor it by taking what I've learned from how he lived his life and having it shape the way I go on living mine. And so here it is, Tyler. Um... I quit.

  Tyler : Hold on. Hold on.

  Randall Pearson : No hard feelings, man. I walk out of here in triumph. I came, I saw, I conquered. Sanjay, it's all you now, brother. Peace.

  Tyler : [he turns to leave]  What are you gonna do?

  Randall Pearson : I don't know. Maybe instead of running in the morning, I'll go for a walk. Slow it down a little. Talk to my mailman. That seems like a good way to start the day.
