Michael Scott: [sobbing] I don't understand why you keep picking on me.
Stanley: Oh, for the love of god.
Michael Scott: You just do, and I don't know why, so please help me understand.
Stanley: Fine. Here it is. You are a person I do not respect. The things you say, your actions, your methods and style. Everything you would do, I would do it the opposite way.
Michael Scott: Well, Stanley, maybe you are feeling that you don't respect me because you don't know me very well.
Stanley: Michael, I've know you a very long time. And the more I've gotten to know you, the less I've come to respect you. Any other theories?
Michael Scott: All right, you don't respect me. I accept that. But listen to me. You can't talk to me that way in this office, you just can't. I am your boss. Can't allow it.
Stanley: Fair enough.
