Dwight K. Schrute Quote #882
Quote from Dwight K. Schrute in The List
Andy: Really great list of names guys. Thank you so much. Good work.
Jim: Uh, no, actually. That was in Robert's notebook.
Pam: He left it at reception and we photocopied it.
Andy: Oh, okay. I don't want any part of this.
Pam: Maybe it's a list of people he's gonna fire.
Jim: Okay, it's not that Pam. You know, I was thinking it reminds me of those lists Dwight used to make.
[later, Dwight joins them in Andy's office:]
Dwight K. Schrute: This is if we were all on a cruise ship and had to divide into lifeboats. This is if we were on a cruise ship and had to divide into life rafts. Here's something. Who would eat who in an ‘Alive' situation. No... that can't be it.

Quote from Stanley
Stanley: It might be easier if you take a deep breath, lift from the knees, and shove it up your butt.
[aside to camera:]
Stanley: I came up with a new thing this summer. I act like I'm telling someone how to do somethin'. I go on with a long description and then I say, "and shove it up your butt." [laughs] It's stupid, but it's my thing now.
Quote from Erin
Erin: Planking is one of those things where, eh, you either get it or you don't. And I don't. But I am so excited to be a part of it.
Quote from Robert
Andy: Hi, Robert? Can you come out here please? It's really important. Just wanted to clarify something. Some people here are under the misconception that some people may be considered, uh, let's say top-tier and others would be second-tier.
Robert: I never said that.
Andy: Thank you. Great.
Robert: I said winners and losers. Is that what you're talking about?
Andy: Oh, that, it might- That actually might be what I'm thinking of. Can you clarify that?
Robert: Let me tell you some things I find productive. Positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement. Honesty. I'll tell you some things I find unproductive. Constantly worrying about where you stand based on inscrutable social clues. And then, inevitably re-framing it all in a reassuring way so that you can get to sleep at night. No, I do not believe in that at all. If I invited you to lunch, I think you're a winner. If I didn't, I don't. But I just met you all. Life is long, opinions change. Winners, prove me right. Losers, prove me wrong.
