Todd: And what kind of stripper did you get?
Michael Scott: I did not order a stripper.

Quote from Michael Scott

Ben Franklin: I'm here to teach you a little bit about my life and the era of the Founding Fathers...
Michael Scott: Hmm! And when they came over on the Mayflower. Bow-chick-a-bow.
Meredith: Wait. This is the entertainment?
Michael Scott: Yeah, all right, so, I want you to give him your undivided attention. And Mr. Franklin. If any of these ladies misbehave, I give you permission to spank them, especially that one.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Guys! Beef, it's what's for dinner. Who wants some man meat?
Dwight K. Schrute: I do! I want some man meat!
Jim: Michael, Dwight would like your man meat.
Michael Scott: Well, then, my man meat he shall have. There you go. Deliciosity.

Quote from Pam

Karen: Hey, I wanted to talk to you. I know this is weird or whatever, but Jim told me about you guys.
Pam: What do you mean?
Karen: Well, that you kissed. And we talked it through and it's totally fine. It's not a big deal, it's just a kiss. But you're not still interested in him?
Pam: Oh, yeah.
Karen: Really?
Pam: Oh, no! I was confused by your phrasing. You should definitely go out with Jim. I mean, you're going out with Jim. I'm not going out with Jim. You're dating him, which is awesome, because you guys are great together.
Karen: Okay.
Pam: And I'm not into Jim.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: You know what? Okay. Excuse me. This is sick, please. Stop it, stop it. Turn off the music, because this is wrong. This is wrong! This is wrong. I have a girlfriend. I- And you are engaged and I'm sure you have a boyfriend in prison or something, so let's just clear out, okay? Shame on you. Go back to work!
