Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight K. Schrute: It is time for your next test. You have planted the beet seed. You have walked the long, lonely walk of loneliness-
Ryan: Look, man, I was in a frat in college, so I know what you're doing. I get it.
Dwight K. Schrute: You know what your problem is? You know why you haven't made any sales? 'Cause you think you know everything. You have to trust that maybe there are other people that can teach you things. Are you ready to learn? Are you ready for the final test?
Ryan: Yeah.
Dwight K. Schrute: Come on!

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight K. Schrute: Final question, young Ryan Howard. What is Michael Scott's greatest fear?
Ryan: Um... Loneliness. Maybe women.
Dwight K. Schrute: Wrong. He's not afraid of anything. Also, I would have accepted snakes. Fear is what it's all about. You cannot sell while undergoing fear. You need to vanquish fear! One must wrestle fear to the ground.
You will now wrestle my cousin Mose!
Ryan: No. Okay. It's over, this is over. Okay?

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Hey, Coselli. The Cos, Cosby. [as Bill Cosby] Hey, hey, hey! I love Jell-O Pudding Pops. My son, Theo, loves Jell-O Pudding Pops, too.
