Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: On one hand, I want to be honest with Jan and tell her the truth. On the other hand, I'm afraid she's gonna dump me.
Ben Franklin You know, Michael, I fathered an illegitimate son.
Michael Scott: Really?
Ben Franklin But I kept all this from my wife, Deborah. These things only serve to upset the women. They are the gentler sex.
Michael Scott: Wow. Ben Franklin, you're really kind of a sleazebag.
