Estelle: Okay Ralf, today's your lucky day. I'm quitting so you can talk to the big boss about job placement.
Ralf: Robots can quit?
Estelle: We're unionized too.
Estelle: (Oh boy, here we go again)
Estelle: Ralf, everyday you come in for a new job and everyday you come back a miserable failure. You CAN'T KEEP doing this.
Ralf: Because there's a LIMIT on reapplication?
Estelle: NO, because there's a LIMIT to how much UGLINESS I can witness.
Ralf: I don't like the job I was assigned.
Estelle: We can't change the job because the match is based on your identity and character.
(pause)
Ralf: I don't like the personality I was assigned.
Ralf: I think my application may have been rushed
Estelle: Each individual and application are carefully considered and given the utmost attention and respect
Ralf: You put me in a dunk tank, I CAN'T SWIM!
Estelle: We thought treading water was a perfect fit for you
Ralf: You see Thane, the career assignment process on Xyo was pretty direct...
Estelle: Just honestly answer the questions, your social value will be tabulated and you will be assigned a job matching your personality and worth.

Thane: So tell me Ralf, how'd you score a sweet job like Destroyer of Earth?
Ralf: Well, I started at the bottom... there weren't very many job options where I was from...
[Left sign: REALLY COOL JOBS, experience required]
[Right sign: JOBS TO LOSE YOUR WILL TO LIVE BY, no experience required]
Ralf: I don't think I like the direction this is going.
