Time To Fly

Love Sean William Scott to death. He got rid of the mischievous little gangsters in "Apple Pie", and was no longer a poorly dying supporting role in "Death is Coming". When Mr. Wehlner's promotion tutorial progressed to Chapter 10 "Time For Me To Fly", I think this title belongs to Sean.

Whether Mr. Wehlner or Doug gets this position, it's not an exaggeration. There is no fair competition, I always think so. Mr. Wehlner comes from different cultures and is always a poor "black apple". As the kindest motorcycle villain, he is on the right path for his wife and daughter, but he seems out of place. Doug is bullied by employees at the supermarket and borrowed money to buy a house just to give his wife a comfortable environment. It's all for the family, playing tricks, and wanting to be a pioneer. The ridiculous competition stems from pressure.

This is a lovely movie, I finished watching it lazily. Although drunk, I didn't fall asleep because of boredom. I don’t watch tragedies, Japanese and Korean dramas, or Taiwan idol dramas. I only love light comedies. In fact, life is like this, a glass of plain water quenches thirst better than Coke.

I recommend, 100%.

    I actually really liked this movie because of its desperate sadness and grim humor we all faced. We don't have a choice, to do what we don't want to do, to fight someone we might like, just to survive. When we win, it can feel a little bit of a stretch of soul; but when we lose, there may not be a Canadian home to fall back on.

The Promotion quotes

  • [Richard explains to the board of directors the sign that cited the deli clerk as employee of the month for "cutting the cheese."]

    Richard: 'Cutting the cheese' simply means 'cutting the actual cheese'. It doesn't have a double-thing? So I just missed it. Because in Canada, it's 'cracking'.

    Mitch: The expression.

    Richard: It's 'cracking', in Canada, yeah. We crack the cheese.

    [Long pause between Richard and the board of directors]

    Richard: Cracking it? Cracking the cheese? So I simply, really believed that Rogelio had been given an inter-deli award... for cutting the actual cheese. I'm sorry.

    [Another long pause as a board member writes Richard's comments]

    Richard: I simply believed Rogelio had been given an inter-deli award...

    Mitch: I heard you the first time.

  • [During the motivational retreat, the employees form a circle around the retreat leader. They are instructed to place paper bags over their heads]

    Retreat Leader: I want you to take off one thing that you don't need... quickly! Come on.

    [Everyone takes off their paper bags, except Richard, who removes his watch. They all stare at Richard, who still has his paper bag over his head]

    Retreat Leader: Let's take something else off that you really don't need... right away!

    [Richard takes off his shoes as some of the employees begin to laugh]

    Retreat Leader: Something else you don't need, let's make it happen. Come on!

    [Richard removes his belt while the employees continue to laugh]

    Retreat Leader: Something else you don't need. Come on, let's go. Something completely unnecessary.

    [Richard turns to his right]

    Richard: Doug, can we take our sack off?

    Doug Stauber: What?

    [Everyone bursts in laughter]

    Richard: Did you take your sack off?

    Doug Stauber: I can't really hear you.

    Retreat Leader: If you could take off one more thing you simply do not need. Do it!

    Richard: [whispers] Fuck!

    [Richard removes his shirt, revealing a tattoo of the band KISS on his chest, to the delight of everyone else]

    Retreat Leader: Okay, uhhh... all right, everybody that still has a bag on top of their heads, scream, 'My concentration skills need improvement.' One, two, three.

    Richard: My concentration skills need improvement!

    [Everyone bursts into laughter]
