Dwight K. Schrute: And has a cassette and a CD.
Michael Scott: How dare you? How dare you, Dwight?
Dwight K. Schrute: Don't fire me. Please, don't-
Michael Scott: Give me one good reason why I shouldn't fire you right here on the spot?
Dwight K. Schrute: I have excellent sales numbers!
Michael Scott: Not good enough!
Dwight K. Schrute: I'll do anything! Anything! Please, I'll do your laundry for a month! For a year!

Dwight K. Schrute: I'm sorry. Anything- I'II- Please? Please?
Michael Scott: I don't know if I can trust you anymore.
Dwight K. Schrute: You can't. You can't, but I promise I'll never betray you again. What can I do, Michael? What can I do? What can I do? What can I do? What can I do?
Michael Scott: You can get up.
Dwight K. Schrute: What?
Michael Scott: Get up. And you can hug it out, bitch.
