Michael Scott Quote #35
Quote from Michael Scott in Diversity Day
Michael Scott: Diversity is the cornerstone of progress, as I've always said. But don't take my word for it. Let's take a look at the tape. [on tape:] Hi. I'm Michael Scott. I'm in charge of Dunder Mifflin Paper Products here in Scranton, Pennsylvania but I'm also the founder of Diversity Tomorrow, because today is almost over. Abraham Lincoln once said that, "If you're a racist, I will attack you with the North." And those are the principles that I carry with me in the workplace. [in person:] OK. Questions? Comments? Anybody? Jim?
Jim: Uh, is that it?
Michael Scott: Uh, yes. I only had an hour to put it together but I'm going to add on to it later on.
Kelly: It was kind of hard to hear.
Michael Scott: Yes. That probably had something to do with the camera work.

Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: Okay, well, since I am leading this, let's get down to business and why don't I just kind of introduce myself, okay? Um. I am Michael and I am part English, Irish, German and [accent] Scottish. Sort of a virtual United Nations. But what some of you might not know is that I am also part Native American Indian.
Oscar: What part Native American?
Michael Scott: Two fifteenths.
Oscar: That fraction doesn't make any sense.
Michael Scott: Well, you know what, it's kind of hard for me to talk about. The suffering.

Jim: Do you really have to do that right now?
Dwight K. Schrute: Yes, I do. I should have done this weeks ago, actually.

[Jim turns off the power for Dwight's shredder]
Jim: Hello? Oh, that's it. Perfect. So what I was saying...
[Dwight pushes the switch hook on Jim's telephone]
Jim: Hello? [dial tone] Thanks, Dwight.
Dwight K. Schrute: Retaliation. Tit for tit.

Dwight K. Schrute: Well, it should be. [shredder starts whirring again]
Quote from Dwight K. Schrute
Mr. Brown: Now, at the start of the session, I had you write down an incident that you found offensive in the workplace. I'm going to choose one and we'll act it out.
Dwight K. Schrute: A few of the ground rules? Just real quick.
Michael Scott: Hey, hey why don't you run it by me and I'll run it by him?
Dwight K. Schrute: Okay, can we steer away from gay people?
Mr. Brown: Um...
Dwight K. Schrute: I'm sorry. It's an orientation. It's not a race. Plus, a lot of other races are intolerant of gays, so... paradox.
