Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: What is the most important thing for a company? Is it the cash flow? Is it the inventory? Nuh-uh.

We had to let him go. He sucked.

Uh, and probably God, would be the fourth one. And I- I just think all those people really helped the world in so many ways that it's, um, really beyond words. It's really incalculable.
