Pam: You called Stanley's wife?
Michael Scott: Oh, oh. Yeah, a long time ago, just to make sure she was out of town. Oh... Oh, God.
Jim: Don't take it.
Michael Scott: No, I have to take it, or it'll seem suspicious.
Pam: If you talk to her, you're gonna tell her about Stanley, and that's gonna seem more suspicious.
Michael Scott: No, no, no. I can do this.
Jim: You can't do this.
Michael Scott: Yes, I can. I am going to tell her that I need to redecorate my condo, and I need her help. We will haggle about money, and then I will back down, and then I won't talk to her until this whole Cynthia thing has blown over.
Jim: That sounds terrible.
Pam: Michael, please don't.
Michael Scott: [picking up phone] Hey, what up, Cynthia?
