Serge: It IS possible to have a good resignation, you know!
Tom : "A good resignation"? Oh, I'm looking forward to how you're gonna sell THIS to me!
Serge : Look, people really like it when you go just a bit early! You know, steely jawed, faraway look in your eyes! Before they get to the point when they sitting round in pubs and say "Oh, that fecker's got to go!", you surprise them! "Blimey, he's gone! I didn't expect that! Resigned! You don't see THAT much anymore! Old school! Respect! I rather liked the guy! He was hounded out by the fecking press!" How about that, ah? What a way to go! Yeah”
