Quote from Michael Scott

Alan: And we're confident there are many things to be optimistic about in Dunder Mifflin's future and one of them is here with us today. Michael Scott, Scranton Branch manager.
Dwight K. Schrute: [applauds loudly] Yes!
Alan: In these uncertain times, Michael has managed to maintain steady profits from his Scranton branch. We all thank you, Michael. [scattered applause] Another bright spot in the Dunder Mifflin landscape, our new waste pulp re-purposing plant in Milford. [applause]

Quote from Phyllis

Jim: Hey, Phyllis. Are you just getting back from lunch now?
Phyllis: Bob took me to Capello's. We got a little tipsy.
Jim: Okay. You shouldn't be telling me that stuff and also shouldn't be taking two hour lunches without telling me.
Phyllis: Oh, it's okay. Michael doesn't really care about these things.
Jim: I care about them and I'm just as much of a boss as Michael. [Stanley chuckles] What's so funny? I'm a co-manager.
Stanley: That doesn't make you a boss.
Phyllis: It's not like you can fire people or anything.

Quote from Jim

Jim: Okay. Who else has heard the rumor that I am not as much in charge as Michael? [everyone raises their hands, including Pam]
Pam: Stuff gets around. I don't participate.
Jim: Who here heard it from Ryan?
Kevin: Does an email count?
Jim: Yes.
Kevin: Yeah. [everyone raises hands again]
Jim: I am just as much of a boss as Michael and I can do anything that Michael can do. All right, who here believes that I have as much power as Michael? [Pam, after a moment, is the only one who raises her hand]
[aside to camera:]
Pam: I forgot I have to support him no matter what. Close one.

Quote from Ryan

Ryan: Do you love her or do you love the idea of her?
Creed: I don't know, man. I just don't know.

Quote from Jim

Jim: I gotta make an example out of him. Should I just fire him?
Pam: Can you actually fire people?
Jim: To be honest, I don't know, but maybe I could just yell at him in front of people.
Pam: Well, I can't really imagine you yelling at anyone.
Jim: Oh, I yell. You've heard me yell.
Pam: Oh, okay. I've heard you exclaim. Like the time you said, 'Hey, look. We parked over here!'
Jim: Well, that was apple-picking day and there's no need to yell that day, you know. I was just excited to find the car. Perfect end to a perfect day.
Pam: Well, you'll figure it out.

Quote from Michael Scott

Alan: Okay. We're gonna take a 15 minute break and then we're gonna answer more questions.
Fourth Shareholder: You haven't said anything yet and we're headed for bankruptcy.
Michael Scott: Yeah, well, that's not gonna happen. That's not gonna happen. We'll be back with some answers. I- Okay. I know that you're mad at me and you're mad at all them -
Fourth Shareholder: How are you gonna fix the company?
Michael Scott: Okay. Alright. We are gonna- We're gonna go out there during this break and we are gonna come back with a plan. We're gonna come back with a plan for you. It's a 45 day plan. 45 days to get us back on track. 45 points. It's a 45 day/45 point. One point per day. We get the 45 points we are back in business. And you can take that to the bank. And Limo Lady, we are going completely carbon neutral. I love you, New York! [To rancorous applause, Michael does the spin, leads the stage and then runs back across] You. You.

Quote from Jim

Jim: Hey, Ryan. How's it going?
Ryan: [playing Tetris on his computer] Here's the thing. Um, I've tried it like five different ways in my head and- Oh, got one. Um, I'm such a perfectionist...
Jim: Mmm-hmm.
Ryan: That I'd kinda rather not do it all then do a crappy version.
Jim: Simple data entry, though. So there's really only one way to do it.
Ryan: Sounds like you have a really specific vision for it. Do you wanna maybe just take a whack at it?
Jim: You know what?
Ryan: What?
Jim: I think I know the problem.
Ryan: Great.
Jim: I think you seem distracted.
Ryan: Yep, that is a problem.
Jim: But, you know what? I came up with something and I think it's really gonna help.
Ryan: Well, I'm glad you're finally being proactive, Jim.
Jim: I am, too. Let me show you.

Quote from Michael Scott

Alan: You were supposed to wave.
Michael Scott: I did wave. I did a lot more than wave.
David: What are we supposed to tell them now? Okay? You've dug us quite a hole.
Michael Scott: We tell them the plan, right?
David: There is no plan.
Michael Scott: Here's what we're gonna do. The 45 day thing that I outlined, we go with that. Day 45, company saved. Day 44, go! What do we got? We have 15 minutes.
O'Keefe: Excuse me?
Michael Scott: Just whatever comes to mind. Shout it out.
O'Keefe: Who the hell is this guy?
Michael Scott: I am the guy who roused that crowd.
David: Yes.
Michael Scott: Got them on their feet.
David: Yes.
Michael Scott: They were so happy down there.
David: Yes.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Okay. All right. Well, I know a guy. This Mexican guy. He is a math whiz. He knows economics as well as he knows bull fighting and I am going to call in a little favor.
David: No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't call anybody, Michael.
Michael Scott: Well, I'm texting him, so.
David: Please do not text anybody, now, Michael.
Michael Scott: It's done.

Quote from Oscar

Oscar: Ummm...
Michael Scott: Tell them what you told me. This is genius.
Oscar: Okay.
Michael Scott: Tell them about the cash flow and the dumping of properties and... This is all-
Oscar: Um..
Michael Scott: It's all good. It's all good stuff. Lay it on them.
Oscar: I feel, as does Mr. Scott, that we are in the best of hands. Capable hands.
Michael Scott: That wasn't what you were saying to me. He was much more articulate and that was better. Much better.
Oscar: I think this has gone very well and I thank you.
Michael Scott: Okay. Oh... hey, hey. What are you doing?
Oscar: Michael, I didn't ask to come up here.
Michael Scott: Wow, man. That-
Oscar: What?
Michael Scott: That was embarrassing.
Oscar: For me.
Michael Scott: For me, too. You embarrassed me.
