MACBETH:
That was pretty tough, but I think we got them in the end.

BANQUO:
YOU got them - it was you who swung the deal. You really sold it to them.

MACBETH:
Yes, I suppose so... I think your jokes helped.
FOOTSTEPS STOP
Er, excuse me, ladies?

BANQUO:
Could we get past please? You're blocking the corridor.

WITCH #2:
Ah, Macbeth! Darling of the sales department!

WITCH #3:
You're going far, my dear. Enjoy the view from your desk.

MACBETH:
View? Of the airconditioning unit?

WITCH #1:
Just you wait and see. And don't forget us when you're running the place!

Oh and Banquo? Those trainees of yours have a bright, bright future.
