Sorry, who’s Bartleby? Google didn’t help narrow it down.
“Bartleby, the Scrivener” by Herman Melville
Bartleby’s catchphrase: “I would prefer not to.” … and yet I don’t remember that he ever got fired!
No, not fired, Bartleby eventually decided to do nothing at all and so became nothing at all…
This is an obscure reference, but the story is interesting. I’d never read it, but the story is on one of the Classic Tales podcasts. http://store.thebestaudiobooks.com/bartleby-the-scrivener-p144.aspx
