Quote from Dwight K. Schrute in The Job
Dwight K. Schrute: You showed great leadership potential at the coal walk, even if you did follow it with that embarrassing personal confession. Pam: Thank you. Dwight K. Schrute: I had to make Andy my number two. It's political, complicated. You wouldn't understand. I want you to be assistant regional manager. Pam: Really? Dwight K. Schrute: Well, in a sense. Although, publicly, I am going to retain the assistant regional manager position. Pam: You will be your own assistant? Dwight K. Schrute: Correct. I need someone I can trust. But I would also like the title to be secretly applied to you. Just stripped of its pomp and frills. Pam: Okay. So you would be the regional manager and the assistant regional manager, Andy is your number two. I would be the secret assistant regional manager. Dwight K. Schrute: Let's call it secret assistant to the regional manager. Do you accept? Pam: Absolutely I do.
