Arbitration & Mediation

  

It's time to play Name That Goon! Rod Blagojevich vs. Tony Soprano.

Hands on buzzers: One's a trash-talking thug trying to stay one step ahead of the law. The other was played by James Gandolfini. Can you identify the speaker of the ten quotes below?

1. "Unless I get something real good...shit, I'll just send myself, you know what I'm saying."

2. "What the fuck am I, a toxic person or something?"

3. "Log off, that "cookies" shit makes me nervous!"

4. "They're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them."

5. "You got no fuckin' idea what it's like to be number one. Every decision you make affects every facet of every other fucking thing."

For the remainder of list and identity of speakers, see The Daily Beast here.

Negotiation lesson?  If you're going to bargain with that which is not yours, do it in a parking garage or in the middle of a lake, not in the Governor's Office.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Chicago!
