Mike: So, there's a reason why your intercom is emitting white noise. It's because it was manufactured in China by engineers who didn't care, and now every office in the world has to suffer an annoying hiss, a blinking red light, fifteen different power cords that are utterly incompatible with one another. So, uh. We are not doing that. We are not just adding to the hiss. I will build a prototype, but I'll do it perfectly or I don't do it.

Jim: Well, "Good Enough" is the enemy of humanity
