Michael Scott Quote #1603
Quote from Michael Scott in The Meeting
David: [on speaker] Michael. You got Jim there with you?
Michael Scott: No, it's just us.
David: Actually, can you call Jim in? I want him on, please.
Michael Scott: Oh. Well, here he is right now. [knocking on wood table, creaking sound of door opening] Come in. [making footstep sounds]
Jim: Hi, David.
David: So I spoke to Alan. We had kind of an unconventional idea, which I think is pretty cool. But it only works if everyone's on board.
Michael Scott: Well, just as long as it means Jim becomes a manager.
David: We were thinking of having two branch managers in Scranton. Both of you guys working as co-managers. Jim would handle the day-to-day, and, Michael, you would focus on clients and big picture stuff.
Jim: Wow, that sounds pretty cool.
Michael Scott: I like that! So manager and co-manager.
David: Co-manager and co-manager. You see, there are a lot of moving pieces, but this is the only way I could sell it upstairs.
Michael Scott: Well, that might be a little confusing for people as they know me as manager.
David: All right, hey, Michael, can you pick up for one second? Okay, look, I'm not gonna force you into anything.
If you're willing to lose Jim, fine. You just say so. We'll find another solution. Okay. Is that what you want to do?

Quote from Michael Scott
David: And what about Jim? Do you think Jim is someone who's ready to move into a management position?
Michael Scott: Permission to speak on the record.
David: Please, do.
Michael Scott: Jim is like Big Bird. He is tall and yellow and very nice. But would I put him in charge? No, I don't think so. Big Bird doesn't make the tough decisions. If I was going to put someone in charge, I would put Bert in charge. Or I would put one of the real grown-ups in charge, like Maria. Or Gordon, maybe.
Quote from Darryl
Darryl: I was rushing to fill an order. I put the ladder up to grab a box of three-hole from the top shelf. Next thing I know, I'm on the ground, ladder's on top of me.
Toby: And that's how you broke your ankle?
Darryl: Yes.
Dwight K. Schrute: Hmm. Interesting. How did the ladder end up on top of you if you fell off of it?
Darryl: This doesn't concern you, man. You need to walk away.
Dwight K. Schrute: Oh, really? I'm sorry. I thought this was a free country. I didn't know we were in communist Sweden.
Darryl: If we were living in Sweden, I wouldn't have to worry about this because we'd have universal health care.
Dwight K. Schrute: That's not- Okay-
Darryl: Be quiet.
Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: Am I worried that Jim and David are having a meeting without me? Because we are the Three Amigos. And once in a while, one of the amigos will go off to the bathroom while the other two have a secret meeting.
