Michael Scott Quote #1601
Quote from Michael Scott in The Meeting
David: [answering phone] This is David.
Michael Scott: David, this is Michael Scott. Just wanted to talk to you about Jim Halpert. I understand that he did not receive that promotion. And I wanted to see what I could do to nudge you in the right direction.
David: So what? You're changing your mind about Jim?
Michael Scott: Absolutely not! Like I said before, Jim is fantastic, and he deserves this job.
David: Michael, it seems like you're cutting in and out. This is not what you said earlier.
Michael Scott: Well, here's the thing. Jim is the best man for this job. I think you should give it to him.
David: Well, it doesn't change what you showed me in Jim's file.
Michael Scott: Well... That- That was an anomaly. That file had been falsified. Toby Flenderson is doing drugs.

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.
Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: Am I worried that Jim and David are having a meeting without me? Because we are the Three Amigos. And once in a while, one of the amigos will go off to the bathroom while the other two have a secret meeting.
