After Michael gets in trouble for playing movies during office hours, Angela encourages Dwight to launch a coup and claim Michael's job.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: "Hug it out, bitch." That is what men say to each other after a fight. They hug it out. And in doing so, they just let it go. And walk away, and they're done. Not a good idea to say that to a woman, however, I have found. Doesn't translate.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Yup, yup, we hugged it out. But it turns out I was still a little angry and so I felt I needed to punish him just a little bit more. [Dwight is stood on a table in the office wearing a sign that says "Liar"] And I'm making him do my laundry for a year.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight K. Schrute: Ever since Michael dumped Jan for Carole, Jan's been bitching out on him. Reject a woman, and she will never let it go. One of the many defects of their kind. Also weak arms.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Movie Monday! The only cure I know for the Monday blues is Varsity Blues.

Quote from Pam

Pam: Movie Monday started with training videos. But we went through those pretty fast. Then we watched a medical video. Since then, it's been half-hour installments of various movies, with the exception of an episode of Entourage, which Michael made us watch six times.
[later, also to camera:]
Michael Scott: Entourage!

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Previously on Varsity Blues...
Kevin: Okay, Billy Bob got a head injury, but Coach made him play. So then Lance, he gets sacked and he's out for the year.

Quote from Angela

Dwight K. Schrute: Not everyone approves of Movie Monday. I won't say who.
[later, also to camera:]
Angela: I don't approve. I don't.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Angela: Michael is going to get us all fired. You sat back and let him play that dumb movie and now Jan is peeved off and we're all going to lose our jobs.
Dwight K. Schrute: That's not going to happen.
Angela: You know she has it out for him now!
Dwight K. Schrute: That's not his fault! He had to follow his heart.

Quote from Kelly

Kelly: No, you haven't even tried it on yet. Try it on.
Pam: Not at work. I'll try it on-
Kelly: Fashion show. Fashion show at lunch!
Pam: No-
Kelly: Fashion show, fashion show at lunch. Fashion show! Fashion show! Fashion show at lunch!

Quote from Jim

Andy: Why did you do that?
Jim: I'm just killing Germans any way I can.
Andy: We're on the German team. Shoot the British.
Jim: Wait, are we playing teams?
Karen: Yeah.
