Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: Never, ever, ever sleep with your boss. I'm so lucky that Jan and I only got to second base.
Quote from Pam
Pam: It's weird. Jan used to treat Michael like he was a 10-year old. But lately it's like he's five.
Quote from Ryan
Ryan: I have spent a year here. And I have to commit or get out. So, Dwight's the top salesman in the company and he's taking me on my first sales call today. And, I'm excited.
Quote from Dwight K. Schrute
Ryan: So, what if they're not talking much? Then does it make sense to kind of lead the conversation? You know, just till it gets to a point where they are asking questions? So where is the sales office?
Dwight K. Schrute: When you are ready to see the sales office, the sales office will present itself to you. Your journey begins now.
Quote from Pam
Pam: Once a year, they bring in a little cart, and they give away free pretzels. It's really not a big deal. To some people it is.
Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: Productivity is important, but how can I be productive, if I have this one little thing in my brain that I cannot get out? And that one little thing is a soft pretzel. So, I'm just gonna have my soft pretzel, I'll get to work and I'm gonna be super-productive. Look out for me!
Quote from Dwight K. Schrute
Dwight K. Schrute: It smells pretty bad, doesn't it?
Ryan: Uh-huh.
Dwight K. Schrute: It's called bull crap and a client can smell it from a mile away.
Ryan: Gotcha.
Dwight K. Schrute: Oh, hey, I forgot something in my car. I'll be right back.
Ryan: Okay.
[Dwight runs to his car, then drives off]
Ryan: Of course.
Quote from Stanley
Michael Scott: Hey, Phyllis, what are you doing?
Phyllis: I'm just saying hi to Bob.
Michael Scott: No, I think you're cutting in line.
Bob Vance: Well, settle down, Scott.
Michael Scott: No, I'm not gonna settle down.
Stanley: Uh-uh. No way. Uh-huh,
Michael Scott: Get in the back, please.
Stanley: Boo!
Michael Scott: Boo!
Stanley: Back in line.
Michael Scott: Thank you. That's right.
Bob Vance: What a pair of marys.
Stanley: This is pretzel day.
Quote from Dwight K. Schrute
Ryan: Hey, Dwight, you're a great salesman. Can you teach me? Sure, Ryan. I'll make you kneel in cow manure and I'll abandon you in a beet field. Oh, that sounds great, Dwight. I really appreciate that. Thank you so much. A mentor- [Ryan knocks on a farm shed]
Dwight K. Schrute: Congratulations, resourceful salesman. You have passed the second challenge. Welcome to Schrute farm!
Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: Hi, please tell me you have a sweet pretzel left.
Pretzel Guy: We do.
Michael Scott: Thank God.
Pretzel Guy: And we have 18 different toppings. We have sweet glaze, cinnamon sugar, chocolate, white chocolate, fudge, M&Ms, caramel dip, mint chip, chocolate chip, marshmallows, nuts, toffee nuts, coconut, peanut butter drizzle, Oreo, sprinkles, cotton candy bits and powdered sugar.
Michael Scott: Is there any way that you could do all of them? The works.
Pretzel Guy: You got it.
Michael Scott: All right! Thank you.
