Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: I'd like everybody's attention. Christmas is canceled.
Stanley: You can't cancel a holiday.
Michael Scott: Keep it up, Stanley, and you'll lose New Year's.
Stanley: What does that mean?
Michael Scott: Jim, take New Year's away from Stanley.

Quote from Jim

Pam: Michael, what's going on?
Michael Scott: Carole and I split up. Amicably. And I just don't think it would be appropriate to celebrate under the circumstances.
Jim: Will they still air Rudolph?

Quote from Michael Scott

Dwight K. Schrute: Why don't you just buy the whole song?
Michael Scott: I don't have to buy it. I just want to taste it. I just want- I just want a little taste of it.

Quote from Pam

Pam: Hey, Karen, sorry about that meeting today. That was really crazy.
Karen: Yeah, right? I'm so glad you said that. Because I don't know how those meetings usually go.
Pam: Um, usually like that.
Karen: Does anyone ever stand up to Angela? Or-
Pam: I think one of her cats did once. She came in with scratches all over her face.
Karen: [laughs] Right.

Quote from Karen

Angela: What is that? "The Committee to Plan Parties invites you "to a Margarita-Karaoke-Christmas"? There's no such thing as the Committee to Plan Parties.
Pam: There is now. We just started it.
Angela: Well, you can't just start a committee. You have to have funding.
Karen: What's your funding?
Angela: Two hundred dollars.
Pam: What's ours again?
Karen: Two hundred and one dollars.

Quote from Pam

Kelly: Hey, a margarita-karaoke- Christmas party. That sounds like fun.
Angela: No. That is not a party. There is only one party, and it's hosted by the Party Planning Committee, and it starts at 3:00.
Kevin: Then why are there two flyers?
Karen: I understand that this is confusing for everyone. Let me explain. There's a party that starts at 3:00 and then there's a way more fun party that starts at 2:45.
Pam: Right, and if you're interested in the way-more-fun party, all the info can be found here, on our more brightly colored flyer.

Quote from Jim

Dwight K. Schrute: You must turn over to me all Christmas decorations and party paraphernalia immediately. They will be returned to you on January 4.
Jim: Okay, I think I can help here.
Dwight K. Schrute: Okay, good.
Jim: As ranking number two, I am starting a committee to determine the validity of the two committees, and I am the sole member. The committee will act on this now.
Dwight K. Schrute: Okay, this is stupid.
Jim: Could you please keep it down? I'm in session. I have determined that this committee is valid.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Bros before hos. Why? Because your bros are always there for you. They have got your back after your ho rips your heart out for no good reason. And you were nothing but great to your ho, and you told her that she was the only ho for you, and that she was better than all the other hos in the world. And then- [sobbing] Then suddenly she's not your ho no mo'!

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight K. Schrute: I can't hear what you're saying.
Michael Scott: Carole used to drink lattes.
Dwight K. Schrute: Who're you talking about?
Michael Scott: She would get this little foam mustache-
Dwight K. Schrute: Carole had a mustache?
Michael Scott: -and I used to say, "Hey, got latte?" And she'd say, "That's not funny."
Dwight K. Schrute: What are you guys talking about?
Michael Scott: She totally got me. She understood that we didn't have to laugh-
Dwight K. Schrute: Michael?
Michael Scott: to enjoy each other.
Dwight K. Schrute: Michael.
Michael Scott: What?
Dwight K. Schrute: Repeat what you said louder!

Quote from Pam

Pam: I would like it off my desk.
Dwight K. Schrute: Oh, Pam, take a chill pill.
