One worker mentions that they will strive to be QS-9000 compliant, but another worker corrects them, pointing out that they are actually falsifying documents to appear compliant.

The worker then lists several acronyms, including QSR, APQP, FMEA, MSA, SPC, PPAP, and QSA, which are all related to quality management systems. The worker jokes that they can't spell compliance without "liance," implying that they are pretending to be compliant without actually following the necessary procedures.
