You know that some salaries are a bit on the high side and some are on the low side. You've been trying to smooth things out, and overall, you think you're doing pretty well.

DWIGHT:A problem? It's more than a problem, buddy. Why does everybody else on the team have a guaranteed salary of at least $30,000 more than their base pay? And you're giving us a measly $2,500?
