Michael Scott Quote #602

Quote from Michael Scott in The Convict

Michael Scott: All right, everybody, there has been a lot of name-calling against our office today, corporate maligning, slurring, much of it coming from one of you, who claims that prison is better than here. And none of us can say, "Boo," because none of us have ever been to prison. Well, there's somebody I'd like you to meet. Somebody else who has been to prison, who can tell you what it is really like. [puts on a bandanna] I'm Prison Mike! You know why they call me Prison Mike?
Angela: Do you really expect us to believe you're somebody else?
Michael Scott: Do you really expect me to not push you up against the wall, biatch?
All: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Michael Scott: Why did the convict have to be a black guy? It is such a stereotype. I just wish that Josh had made a more progressive choice, like a white guy who went to prison for polluting a black guy's lake.

Quote from Michael Scott

Kevin: I wonder what he did.
Michael Scott: In our society a black man can be arrested for almost anything. He was probably at a sporting event and saw some people pushing each other and he intervened.
Pam: Why would anyone go to jail for that?
