Michael Scott: Am I going to tell them? No, I'm not going to tell them. I don't see the point of that. As a doctor, you would not tell a patient if they had cancer.

Michael Scott: What is the most important thing for a company? Is it the cash flow? Is it the inventory? Nuh-uh.
It's the people. The people. My proudest moment here was not when I increased profits by 17% or when I cut expenses without losing a single employee. No, no, no, no, no.

We had to let him go. He sucked.

Michael Scott: I think I'm a role model here. I think I garner people's respect. The people I respect, heroes of mine, would be Bob Hope... Um... Abraham Lincoln, definitely. Bono. 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.
