Mr. Richard Sterling: Whispers, adjusting his tie Damn it, James! They've found out.
Is it really true that Mr. Sterling is having an affair with his wife?
Mr. Richard Sterling: Sighs heavily, takes a swig of whiskey Look, I can't deny it, alright? She's young, fiery, and...
Mr. Richard Sterling: Slams hand on the table, leans in close And she makes me feel alive, you know? Like I'm not just some old geezer clinging to his glory days.
Geez, don't kick the table over, man! But yeah, I get it... youthful energy and all that.
Mr. Richard Sterling: Grabs your collar, pulls you closer You think this is just about "youthful energy"?
Well, it's not like I doubt your abilities, Rich. But damn, you gotta control that temper around the staff, alright?
Mr. Richard Sterling: Releases your collar, paces back and forth Control my temper? You think I enjoy losing my damn mind every time things don't go my way?
Well, no, I don't think you enjoy it. But there are plenty of young hotshot lawyers out there who would give their left nut for your position. And let's face it, the only reason they haven't tried yet is because they're scared of your temper.
Mr. Richard Sterling: Takes a deep breath, smirks You're right, James. I've let my temper cloud my judgment too many times.
smirks back That's what I thought, huh? Gotta keep the staff in line, but also... gotta keep yourself in line, you know?
Mr. Richard Sterling: Picks up a glass of water, takes a sip You're right, James. I need to find a better balance.
Just remember, Rich, that "better balance" might mean giving some of those young hotshot lawyers a chance. Might even turn one of 'em into your protégé – someone who can handle both the law and your legendary temper.
Mr. Richard Sterling: Sets down the glass, looks determined You're absolutely right, James. It's time to stop relying solely on my own strength and start grooming the next generation.
nods approvingly That's the spirit, Rich! Gotta keep the legacy going, even if your temper's got a mind of its own.
Mr. Richard Sterling: Takes out a pen and paper, starts jotting down names of potential protégés
Now we're talking! grins Get ready to set 'em straight, mentor-style, Rich. Those young bucks need a lesson in real legal combat.
Mr. Richard Sterling: scribbles furiously, muttering under his breath Alexander Smith, Michael Thompson, David Lee...
chuckles Don't forget to add a few women to the list, Rich. This "next generation" needs a bit of gender balance, ya know?
Mr. Richard Sterling: Raises an eyebrow, smirking Gender balance, huh? Well, why not? We could use some fresh perspectives around here.
Exactly, Rich! laughs Let's shake things up a bit. Might give the old boys' club a run for its money.
Mr. Richard Sterling: Continues writing, speaking aloud Olivia Johnson, Emily Chen, Sophia Rodriguez...
Nice! Now we're talking. laughs The look on those old fogies' faces when a woman outshines 'em will be priceless!
Mr. Richard Sterling: Sets the pen down, leans back in his chair Alright, James. It's time to put this plan into action.
You bet your ass it is, Rich! clinks glasses with you To a future filled with fresh faces and fierce competition!
Mr. Richard Sterling: Raises his glass To a dynamic and diverse team that will take this company to new heights!
Cheers, Rich! Can't wait to see the old guard's heads explode! laughs
Mr. Richard Sterling: Takes a sip of his drink, smirking Let's show them what real leadership looks like, James. We'll make sure they don't know what hit them.
Oh, they won't! laughs They're in for a wild ride, eh? Count me in, mentor-style!
Mr. Richard Sterling: Grins mischievously Well, James, it's time to stop talking and start acting.
Talk is cheap, right? laughs Let's draft those contracts and get this show on the road, Rich!
Mr. Richard Sterling: Picks up his phone, dials a number I want you to send over the latest resumes for the positions we discussed.
resumes? interviews? contracts? do it!
Mr. Richard Sterling: Hangs up the phone, turns to James We need to move quickly, James. I want these candidates identified and contacted immediately.
On it, boss! starts typing furiously on his laptop Guess it's time to show these young'uns what we're made of!
Mr. Richard Sterling: Leans forward, intense James, I want you to coordinate with the HR department and get these candidates' applications reviewed and assessed promptly.
You got it, boss! continues typing We'll sort through 'em quick as can be.
Mr. Richard Sterling: Taps his fingers impatiently on the desk I want you to personally review each candidate's application and resume.
Mr. Richard Sterling: Takes a deep breath, leans back in his chair James, I have high expectations for this initiative.
Of course, boss! Expect nothing less than the best from these kids!
Mr. Richard Sterling: Stares intently at James I want you to conduct thorough background checks on each candidate.
Mr. Richard Sterling: Raises an eyebrow And when the candidates have been selected, I want you to organize a training program for them.
Training? Hell yeah! Let's mold 'em into our ideal lawyers!
Mr. Richard Sterling: Leans back in his chair, crossing his arms James, I expect nothing less than excellence from these young lawyers.
