Suzie: Well, I'm not very happy. What you just said makes me feel useless. And maybe I am. All I do is answer the phone, usher people into Mr. Walker's office, and smile really big. Anyone could do that.

Tom: Look, your "dead end" feeling is a problem that needs to be solved, right? So spread your wings and fly, Suzie. Solve the problem.
