Applicant and Tom in “Unfinished Business”

Sorry what do I get out of this?

Tom

Connections. Plus 19 grand a year. Minus 10% Headhunters fee.

I have to pay you two grand if I get hired?

Tom

I have a job to offer. In the immortal words of Rob Blagojevich, "it's a [bleep] valuable thing. You don't just give it away for nothing."
