Quote from Michael Scott in The Deposition
Michael Scott: How could you do that to me?
Mr. Schneider: You can respond, just remember, it's all going into the record.
Jan: Michael, I'm not the enemy, okay? Dunder Mifflin is the enemy.
Michael Scott: Dunder Mifflin has always treated me with the utmost respect with loyalty. They were going to give me your job, and I should have taken it.
Jan: Alright, wait. Before you go any further, let me show you what kind of loyalty they have, okay? Lester, please read that part of Wallace's deposition.
Mr. Schneider: Starting at paragraph six. Counsel: "Mr. Wallace, regarding Michael Scott, was he a contender to replace Jan levinson?" David Wallace: "Yes."
Michael Scott: See? I was number one contender. I was being groomed.
Mr. Schneider: Counsel: "Was he your first choice?" David Wallace: "Michael Scott is a fine employee who has been with the company many years." Counsel: "Was he in the top five of contenders?" David Wallace: "What do you want me to say? Come on. He's a nice guy. There were many people that I considered." Counsel: "Was he being seriously considered for the corporate job?" David Wallace: "No." I have one more question, Mr. Scott. Wouldn't you agree with Ms. Levinson that the company exhibits a pattern of disrespect toward its employees?
Michael Scott: Absolutely not.

Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: Why did I do it? I don't know. Jan said that it was because of the photo that she revealed the diary. But she already brought the diary with her to New York. So... You expect to get screwed by your company. But you never expect to get screwed by your girlfriend.
Quote from Jan
Jan: People underestimate Michael. There are plenty of things that he is well above average at. Like ice skating. He is a very good ice skater.
