Orange Candidate : I'm not.
Vincent : Tell me that you are and you'll pass the test.

Orange Candidate : Donkey ass. What? Can you repeat that?
Vincent : Blue?
Blue Candidate : I'll take the corridor.
Orange Candidate : Donkey ass. You're not making any sense at all! I'm not a machine! He made an error.
