I must be not sharp because when I first read that, I thought the boss meant "smart". (The whoops clued me.)
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Don't google "rasta crossdresser", but the way.
You know, when ita ! tells you to avoid something, it's probably a good idea to do so.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am informed that I come across as "sharp". (Woops.)
Careful, you could puncture the hull of an Empire Class Fire Nation battleship, leaving thousands to drown at sea...because you're so sharp.

Geez, 'suela. One would think you were trying to improve the way things work! Maybe reduce some inter-office tension by enlisting an ally! Maybe doing something that men are praised for doing and women are called "being a bitch" or, as I used to get characterized, "having too much testosterone." Feh.

Nah, that one never closes. I was in the military too damn long.

Heh. Azula's second greatest line in that episode.

The greatest being "Yes! We defeated you for all time! You will never rise from the ashes of your shame and humiliation!"?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
OK- I think I might get it now. I think all these years the finance people and my boss were talking at cross purposes. She always felt that they were telling her we never made any money, when she could see that we were making money. And they just kept saying BUT YOU AREN'T COUNTING THE OVERHEAD!!!!

Yeah, I thought about that. It's a military environment, but I figured there's no point in arguing it.
"Yes! We defeated you for all time! You will never rise from the ashes of your shame and humiliation!"
Oh, wait, that's the volleyball game? I loved that, it was so over the top. It's one of the few times I really felt sorry for Azula.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
