leave the door open

take one's eyes off

see the light of day

glass ceiling

pull for

pipe dream

go up in smoke

sell one's soul

stare A in the face

serve out

dead and buried

gravy train

come out ahead

call around

set the scene

compare notes

set up as

grind one's teeth

coop up

by inches

have something on

settle down to

farm out

bells and whistles

on the watch

shoulder to shoulder

put one's foot down

beyond recognition

give A the word

put down roots

be news to

show A the door

bust up

peter out

rain or shine

shy of

sit well with

in the line of fire

beyond one's wildest dreams

bend one's ear
