Lester Burnham Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go **** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus. Lester Burnham I didn't LOSE it. It's not like 'Whoops! Where did my job go?' I quit. Lester Burnham It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself.
