Quote from Angela

[each on the phone]
Kevin: Sir- Yes, you have a valid point and I'm sorry. Yes. No, I am so sorry.
Oscar: Really? Dixon City? I have an aunt in Carbondale.
Angela: Excuse me? Well, I don't see how that's our fault. And I've already told you the official position of Dunder Mifflin is apologetic, so I don't know what you want from me.

Quote from Kelly

Kelly: Okay, first, I just want to say that you are doing so good. Look, you have so many good qualities, that the one that you might want to work on is apologizing.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: And so, with the eyes of the nation upon us, I would like to say that Dunder Mifflin truly regrets this unfortunate incident. And as a gesture of gratitude for your continued loyalty, Mrs. Allen, I would like to present you with this novelty check for six months of free paper or 25 reams, whichever comes first.
[Dwight takes a picture on his flip-phone]
Dwight K. Schrute: You look good in this.
Michael Scott: So, let us consider this matter ended.
Mrs. Allen: Well, it isn't ended. I'm very angry. I could have lost business.
Michael Scott: I know. I know you are angry and we are truly, truly sorry.
Mrs. Allen: I don't accept your apology. The watermark was obscene and horrifying.
Michael Scott: Well, we are extremely sorry.
Mrs. Allen: I don't accept.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: What can I do for you?
Mrs. Allen: All right. For starters, I think that you should resign.
Michael Scott: Okay. Well, wasn't really my fault. The guys at the paper mill-
Mrs. Allen: You're the head-
Michael Scott: The guy at the paper mill's- No, no, no.
Mrs. Allen: You're the head of the company!
Michael Scott: I'm the head of the company?
Mrs. Allen: Yes, and that makes it your responsibility-
Michael Scott: No, I'm a regional manager!
Mrs. Allen: -and so you should lose your job!
Michael Scott: No. What? Okay. This is insane. You can get out of here. Get out. That's insane.
Mrs. Allen: Fine.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: I will give this to somebody who will appreciate it.
Dwight K. Schrute: It's not-transferable.
Michael Scott: Doesn't matter. Out please.
Mrs. Allen: I'm calling the Better Business Bureau!
Michael Scott: Yeah, well I'm calling the Ungrateful Biatch Hotline! [to the reporter] Did you get all that?
Chad Lite: Everything.

Quote from Pam

Pam: Michael likes me to run the camera when he makes his apology videos. He says he needs a woman's touch.

Quote from Jim

Jim: You want music?
Andy: I don't care.
Jim: Come on, man. Just give it a couple of days. I think you'll be all right.
Andy: Yeah.
[Jim starts singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"]
Andy: You know what? I don't-
[Andy joins in]
Andy: Sweet.

Quote from Andy

Andy: What the- Why is my girlfriend here?
Jim: Oh, she that teacher in the white?
Andy: No, she's a part-time frozen yogurt chef.
Jim: Which one is she?
Andy: The one in the green hoodie.
Jim: Wow.
Andy: I wonder if she's like a guidance counselor or something.
Jim: No. I don't think so.
Andy: She's, like, probably a tutor-
Jim: Nope.
Andy: She probably teaches-
Jim: No.
Andy: There's no-

Quote from Andy

Andy: Oh, my God!
Jim: Oh, my God.
Andy: I had no idea.
Jim: Well, that's not going to hold up in court.
Andy: We didn't do anything illegal. Except knock over a mailbox with her friends.
