David: Is there anybody else could run the day-to-day of the branch?

Quote from Michael Scott
David: And what about Jim? Do you think Jim is someone who's ready to move into a management position?
Michael Scott: Permission to speak on the record.
David: Please, do.
Michael Scott: Jim is like Big Bird. He is tall and yellow and very nice. But would I put him in charge? No, I don't think so. Big Bird doesn't make the tough decisions. If I was going to put someone in charge, I would put Bert in charge. Or I would put one of the real grown-ups in charge, like Maria. Or Gordon, maybe.
Quote from Darryl
Darryl: I was rushing to fill an order. I put the ladder up to grab a box of three-hole from the top shelf. Next thing I know, I'm on the ground, ladder's on top of me.
Toby: And that's how you broke your ankle?
Darryl: Yes.
Dwight K. Schrute: Hmm. Interesting. How did the ladder end up on top of you if you fell off of it?
Darryl: This doesn't concern you, man. You need to walk away.
Dwight K. Schrute: Oh, really? I'm sorry. I thought this was a free country. I didn't know we were in communist Sweden.
Darryl: If we were living in Sweden, I wouldn't have to worry about this because we'd have universal health care.
Dwight K. Schrute: That's not- Okay-
Darryl: Be quiet.
