Michael Scott Quote #524
Quote from Michael Scott in Grief Counseling
Michael Scott: I don't understand. We have a day honoring Martin Luther King, but he didn't even work here.
Jan: [on the phone] I understand how you feel, Michael, I really do. So would it be helpful to give everyone the day off?
Michael Scott: You really don't get it, do you? You don't understand these people. That is the last thing that they would want, is a day off.
Jan: Well, what would you suggest?
Michael Scott: A statue.
Jan: Of Ed?
Michael Scott: Yeah.
Jan: I'm not sure that's realistic.
Michael Scott: Well, I think it would be very realistic. It would look just like him.
Jan: No, that's not-
Michael Scott: We could have his eyes light up. Could have his arms move.
Dwight K. Schrute: That is not a statue. That is a robot.
Michael Scott: I think that is a great way to honor Ed.
Dwight K. Schrute: And how big do you want this robot?
Michael Scott: Life-size.
Dwight K. Schrute: No. Better make it two-thirds. Easier to stop if it turns on us.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute
Michael Scott: Phyllis, you want to give it a shot?
Dwight K. Schrute: I got it. When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had resorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No. I believe his tissues made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby.
Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: There are five stages to grief, which are [clearly reading from his computer screen] denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. And right now, out there, they are all denying the fact that they're sad, and that's hard, and it's making them all angry. And it is my job to try to get them all the way through to acceptance and, if not acceptance, then just depression. If I can get them depressed, then I'll have done my job.
Quote from Pam
Michael Scott: Okay, I'm going to toss the ball to Pam.
Pam: Let's see. I had an aunt that I was really close to. She was this amazing female boxer. Anyway, she was injured in a fight, and she was paralyzed. So you can imagine how upset I was when I found out that she asked her manager to remove her breathing tube so she could die.
Michael Scott: Wow. If you want to cry, that's okay.
