Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: How could you do that to me?
Mr. Schneider: You can respond, just remember, it's all going into the record.
Jan: Michael, I'm not the enemy, okay? Dunder Mifflin is the enemy.
Michael Scott: Dunder Mifflin has always treated me with the utmost respect with loyalty. They were going to give me your job, and I should have taken it.
Jan: Alright, wait. Before you go any further, let me show you what kind of loyalty they have, okay? Lester, please read that part of Wallace's deposition.
Mr. Schneider: Starting at paragraph six. Counsel: "Mr. Wallace, regarding Michael Scott, was he a contender to replace Jan levinson?" David Wallace: "Yes."
Michael Scott: See? I was number one contender. I was being groomed.
Mr. Schneider: Counsel: "Was he your first choice?" David Wallace: "Michael Scott is a fine employee who has been with the company many years." Counsel: "Was he in the top five of contenders?" David Wallace: "What do you want me to say? Come on. He's a nice guy. There were many people that I considered." Counsel: "Was he being seriously considered for the corporate job?" David Wallace: "No." I have one more question, Mr. Scott. Wouldn't you agree with Ms. Levinson that the company exhibits a pattern of disrespect toward its employees?
Michael Scott: Absolutely not.
