Quote from Michael Scott

Toby: Its really sad that your dog ran away. Why did it keep you from going to the park?
Michael Scott: I was afraid I would find him in the park, playing with another kid.
Toby: Why?
Michael Scott: I guess that's why I thought he ran away in the first place. To find a kid he liked better.
Toby: Dogs don't do that.
Michael Scott: Right. Why would a dog do that? That's silly.
Toby: I don't know.
Michael Scott: When I hear myself say it, it sounds ridiculous. But I've never said it out loud, so...
Toby: It's very important for you to be liked, isn't it?
Michael Scott: Well, lets not get too... This isn't a counseling session... Okay. You son of a gun. Son of a bitch. Wow! Okay. You.
Toby: I'm just trying to help you Michael.
Michael Scott: Bitch. God! You're very helpful aren't you? You try to help everybody. Do you want to play another game?
Toby: I just want to-
Michael Scott: You are good. But you know what? You can't help people. You couldn't help your marriage. You lose. I don't need your help. Nobody needs your help. Nobody wants it! You can't help anybody. I don't need your help! Am I going to make you cry?
Toby: [tossing forms at Michael] Just fill them out any way you want.
Michael Scott: Okay.
Toby: I'll have Erin fax them back to corporate.
Michael Scott: You'll do... Okay. Filled out. Good. Thank you doctor. Take two of these [raising his two middle fingers] and call me in the morning.

Quote from Pam

Pam: There are a lot of one person departments here, so, there's a lot of department heads. But I'm off to a good start. Oh, man! If I could pull this off, it will be scam of all scams. And yet very helpful to everyone.

Quote from Toby

Gabe: So, Corporate got your evaluations, and they want me to check, is that really how you feel about Michael's situation?
Toby: Yes.
Gabe: That is not how he seemed to me.
Toby: I thought he seemed fine.
Gabe: You marked severe in all the categories, including at risk for homicidal behavior.
Toby: Heh.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: You forged them! You forged the forms!
Toby: You filled them in and faxed them yourself!
Michael Scott: Yes.
Toby: You remember that.
Michael Scott: Yes, but you had me so worked up that I made a mistake.
Toby: Unless a part of you made that mistake on purpose.
Michael Scott: You don't make a mistake on purpose, Toby! Then it is no longer a mistake. Gabe. He messed it up. He messed up the forms, I bet... [as Gabe] "I mess everything up so I can fix it and keep my job! Bah! Good thing I'm here 'cause I do nothing. I make everybody nervous!" [normal voice] Ah, okay. That's your notebook? Alright. Alright, lets bang this out. Let's do it to it!
