Quote from Michael Scott in The Manager and the Salesman
Jo: Well, I think you're both being a little too modest.
Jim: No, I really, really think Michael is better at being manager for so many reasons.

Jim: Why would you do that?
Michael Scott: I'm turning myself in right now!
Jo: You know, Michael, you have more experience in sales and management, so I'm gonna defer to your judgment.
Michael Scott: Thank you.
Jo: I think you will become the salesman, and congratulations! [to Jim] You're gonna be the new manager of this branch!
Michael Scott: Great! That's great. Congratulations. Have fun signing my commission checks, boss.

Michael Scott: I have been saying the word "manager" a lot, so whenever Jo thinks "manager" she thinks of me. Camel cigarettes did the same thing with Joe Camel by making him look like a penis. I can't even go near a cigarette now without thinking of a penis. And vise-versa.
