Michael Scott Quote #1608

Quote from Michael Scott in The Promotion

Jim: Okay, maybe we should talk specifics.
Michael Scott: Let's do.
Jim: Okay. Yesterday, we had a meeting about planets.
Michael Scott: N- Well, to be fair, Jim... James... Jimothy... To be fair, Jimothy, the- Ah, that sounds weird. Are you okay with being called Jim?
Jim: I am.
Michael Scott: Jim, to be fair, the conversation wasn't about planets at first, we were talking about introducing a line of toilet paper. And what part of the human body does one use toilet paper upon? So you draw a line from there to the other planets, and I think by the end, we all learned a little bit about how small we are.
Jim: Yes, I agree.
Michael Scott: Because it's a big universe, and we're all just little, tiny specks of dust.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight K. Schrute: People are starting to notice how terrible Jim is. It's great. Eventually, they'll rise up and revolt. My only hope is that they do it sooner rather than later. If the people here were our founding fathers, the Revolutionary War would have been delayed ten years. Because Stanley Washington was napping. And Phyllis Hancock was still signing the declaration. And Kevin Jefferson was distracted by a butterfly.

Quote from Jim

Jim: I've been studying Michael for years, and I've condensed what I've learned into this chart. How Michael spends his time. As you can see, we have procrastinating and distracting others, and this tiny sliver here is critical thinking. I made it bigger, so that you could see it.

Quote from Oscar

Oscar: Look, it doesn't take a genius to know that any organization thrives when it has two leaders. Go ahead, name a country that doesn't have two presidents. A boat that sets sail without two captains. Where would Catholicism be without the popes?
