Mr. Drummond and Seth Milchick in “Unfinished Business”

So this is "tightening the leash"? Our most vital refiner missing in the wind on what was to be Lumon's finest day. This is your fault.

Seth Milchick

I have followed protocol, Mr. Drummond, but I thank you for your remonstration.

A needlessly complex word for a simple idea. Apologize for the word.

Seth Milchick

Sir...

Apologize for the word.

Seth Milchick

I apologize.

Shorter.

Seth Milchick

I'm sorry.

Again.

Seth Milchick

Mr. Drummond...

Again.

Seth Milchick

[pause] Devour feculence. It means "eat shit", Mr. Drummond.

What did you just say to me?

Seth Milchick

I am manager of the Severed floor, which means two things: First, I am owed a measure of respect - even by my superiors. Second, and more obvious, that said floor comprises the whole of my jurisdiction. To put that monosyllabically: It's not my fault what Mark Scout does when he is not at work - it's yours.
