Quote from Andy
Andy: What the heck was that?
Pam: When you cried?
Andy: Agh. Try almost cried, okay? I just got caught up in the fantasy.
Pam: You're fantasy involves comparison shopping birthing classes?
Andy: No. I know I'm gonna go with Miss Janet. I just- I don't know. It was fun to role play, right?
Pam: Hmm.
Andy: I mean, it was fun for me. Having a wife and a little baby. Argh. I'm so sick of being single.
Pam: Well, are you dating anyone?
Andy: What do you think of Erin? I mean- She's- I- She's kinda cool.
Pam: Eh.
Andy: You think I can do better?
Pam: Eh.
Andy: Gotta get my goin' out on.
Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: The most fundamental thing about sensitivity training is that you cannot make fun of a person for something or some action that they have done that they regret. You can only make fun of things that they have control over. Like Oscar is gay. That is his choice. We can make fun of that. I did not choose to fall into a koi pond.
Toby: Michael, you still can't make fun of people for race or gender or sexual orientation or religion.
Michael Scott: Who- Who let the lemon head into the room? You are a waste of life and you should give up. Is what I want to say, but won't. Because that is why we're doing this right now. So, Toby, welcome to sensitivity training for real.
