Jim: Okay, thought people read more books. DVDs. Five movies, what would you bring to the island? Yes, Meredith.
Meredith: Legends of the Fall, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Legally Blonde, Bridges of Madison County.
[later:]
Meredith: And Ghost. But just that one scene.

Michael Scott: Quiz me up.
Ryan: All right. Why have people been rethinking the Microsoft model in the past few years?
Michael Scott: Uh...
[later:]
Ryan: Is it cheaper to sign a new customer or to keep an existing customer?
Dwight K. Schrute: Keep an existing cust-
Michael Scott: Shut it. Can I just do it, please? Uh, it's equal.
Ryan: It is 10 times more expensive to sign a new customer.
Michael Scott: Okay. Yes, it was a trick question, okay.

Michael Scott: When I was Ryan's age, I worked in a fast food restaurant to save up money for school. And then I lost it in a pyramid scheme, but I learned more about business right then and there than business school would ever teach me or Ryan would ever teach me.

Michael Scott: I did not go to business school. You know who else didn't go to business school? Lebron James, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant. They went right from high school to the NBA, so... So, it's not the same thing at all.

Michael Scott: I became a salesman because of people. I love making friends. But then I was promoted to manager, very young age. I still try to be a friend first, but, you know, when you're very successful, your co-workers look at you differently. [sighing] What do you think?
Ryan: Maybe we should get some air.
Michael Scott: No, I'm okay.
Ryan: I'm really uncomfortable.

Dwight K. Schrute: Why didn't I go to business school?
Jim: Who goes to business school?
Dwight K. Schrute: The temp.
Jim: He does?
Dwight K. Schrute: Yeah, it's all him and Michael talk about anymore.
Pam: You know, I bet Ryan thinks to himself, "I wish I were a volunteer sheriff on the weekend."
Dwight K. Schrute: He doesn't even know that I do that.
Pam: You should tell him.
Dwight K. Schrute: Oh, yeah, Pam, right. That's gonna help things. Just talk it out. I hope the war goes on forever and Ryan gets drafted.
Pam: Dwight.
Jim: What?
Dwight K. Schrute: I'm sorry I said that. I didn't- Just part of me meant it. Besides, he'd end up being a hero anyway.

Dwight K. Schrute: Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon Studebaker, Television North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe! Ryan started the fire!

Michael Scott: Oh, look, Ryan is book smart, and I am street smart and book smart.

Michael Scott: Another rule of business is being able to adapt to different situations. Yeah?
Ryan: Mmm-hmm.
Michael Scott: Adapt. React. Readapt. Apt. All right? That's rule number two.

Pam: Katy and Jim met in the office. And now, I guess they're, like, going out or dating or something. And I don't know, you know. They're just- She calls him, and they- You know. I'm sorry, I feel like I'm talking really loud. Am I talking really loud?
