Quote from Michael Scott

Stanley: This is ridiculous.
Phyllis: Do you have any idea what time we get out of here?
Michael Scott: Nobody likes to work late. Least of all, me. You have plans tonight?
Jim: No, I don't. Remember when you told us not to make plans 'cause we were working?
Michael Scott: Yes, I remember. Mmm. This is B.S. This is B.S. Why are we here? I am gonna call corporate. Enough is enough. I'm- God, I'm so mad! [on the phone] This is Michael Scott, Scranton. We don't wanna work. No, we don't! It's not fair to these people! These people are my friends, and I care about them! We're not gonna do it! [hangs up] Everybody, I just got off the horn with corporate, and basically I told them where they could stick their little overtime assignment. Go enjoy your Friday.
Dwight K. Schrute: Thank you, Michael.
Michael Scott: Well, I think we dodged a bullet there.
Jim: I think you did.
Michael Scott: I think we should celebrate. How about you, Pam, mi casa. A little dinner, dancing, drinks?
Jim: Oh, I-
Michael Scott: You said you didn't have plans. That's what you said.

Michael Scott: Pam, I hope she didn't do anything to the food.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: I finally broke down and bought myself a plasma TV. Check it out. I actually hung this on the wall myself.
Jim: That's good.
Michael Scott: I wanna show you something. A lot of people in the room, you need more space voila. Right into the wall.
Jim: Wow.
Michael Scott: Sometimes, I will just stand here and watch television for hours. I love it. I love this TV.

Quote from Pam

Pam: I know Jan didn't poison the food. I know that. But if she was going to poison the food of someone at that table, wouldn't it be me, "Michael's former lover"?

Quote from Jan

Pam: So you have an office and a work space?
Jan: I do, you know. I just- I cannot create in the same space that I conduct business. I'm sure that you're the same with your doodles.

Quote from Jan

Michael Scott: And I also built this table.
Jim: What is that, chestnut?
Michael Scott: No, it's either pine or Nordic cherry.
Jan: It's pine.
Michael Scott: Yeah.
Jim: I'm just terrible at this stuff, so that's cool.
Jan: Really?
Pam: Yeah. Yeah, he tried to set up my Tivo for me, but then I didn't have audio for a week.
Michael Scott: If you ever need any help, I'm just a phone call away.
Jan: I bet you are.

Quote from Michael Scott

Jan: Fine. Whatever you want. Just like always. Whatever you want.
Michael Scott: Whatever I want? It's never whatever I want.
Jan: It's fine, Michael.
Michael Scott: When I wanted to see Stop and you wanted to see Wicked, what did we see?
Jan: We saw Wic-
Michael Scott: When I said that I wanted to have kids, and you said that you wanted me to have a vasectomy, what did I do? And then, when you said that you might wanna have kids, and I wasn't so sure, who had the vasectomy reversed? And when you said you definitely didn't want to have kids? Who had it reversed back? Snip, snap! Snip, snap! Snip, snap! I did!
Jan: Okay.
Michael Scott: You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person! And I bought this condo to fill with children.
Jan: I am so sorry that I don't want to bring kids into this screwed-up world. Okay? But look-
Michael Scott: I'm sorry too.
Jan: If you want to have kids, then fine, you win. Let's have a [beep] kid!
Michael Scott: Do you mean it? You wanna have a kid?
Jan: I hate my life.

Quote from Jan

Jan: How about we do the short tour, and then I'll start dinner?
Pam: Oh, I can help starting dinner, if you need it.
Jan: Oh, no, no, no. It's just the osso buco needs to braise for about three hours. Everything else's done.
Pam: Three hours from now, or three hours from earlier, like 4:00?
Jan: You know, Pam, in Spain, they often don't even start eating until midnight.
Michael Scott: When in Rome.
