Anyone who has watched walk hard knows Dewey Cox, the Mr.Wehlner who loves to insert his name in inspirational tapes. This is really interesting, it seems that they have a special connection: one is a rock star, the other is a motorcycle hippie; this smirking guy who hummed the famous song walk hard and lamented the hardships of life turned into a third-year-old Ten white-collar executive candidates with the same walking hard can't help but sigh at Steve Conrad's unique vision. The bitterness of Anjia's thirteenth year of getting up and getting up and down is perfectly interpreted by the film. Leaving aside those blatant and dark fighting tricks, the film actually describes the more important things in life than promotion, honesty and love, family and friendship. Although it is no longer a harmony-themed film like cox, anyone of the same age will find a heartfelt resonance in it, there may only be one winner but we can't lose more just to win, understand The position can come again, but the family love is difficult to achieve. Let's walk hard.

[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]
