Michael Scott: Howard / Ryan. Ryan Howard is sitting in my office. And he has been a temp here for a couple of months, and he's kind of gotten the lay of the land a little bit. Had a few laughs along the way. And now he wants to know what I think.
Ryan: The temp agency wants to know what you think.
Michael Scott: Shall we? Let us proceed. First up, "Proficiency in necessary skills." ... Excellent." [laughing]

Dwight K. Schrute: Michael's in there right now evaluating the temp. He hasn't evaluated me in years.

Michael Scott: There are 10 rules of business that you need to learn. Number one: You need to play to win, but you also have to win to play.
Ryan: Got it.
Michael Scott: And I will give you the rest of the 10 at lunch.

Dwight K. Schrute: Hey, Michael, Ryan needs a number for the count off.
Michael Scott: Okay, well, "1" is taken.
Ryan: Okay, "2"?
Dwight K. Schrute: No!
Ryan: Oh, sorry. Okay.
Dwight K. Schrute: He can have "14." Marjorie's not here today.
Michael Scott: Well, he needs a permanent number, right?
Ryan: No, I don't.
Dwight K. Schrute: Oh, you know what else? I thought of a nickname for the three of us. Three Musketeers.

Jim: Okay, you know what? I think I'm gonna be setting the agenda here, okay? Can everybody gather up, please? Important announcement. Very important announcement. I think this is a perfect opportunity for all of us to participate in some really intense, psychologically revealing conversations. So, we're gonna be playing "desert island," um "Who would you do" and "Would you rather."
Pam: "Would you rather."
Jim: "Would you rather" is our third game.

Dwight K. Schrute: [to the firemen] Hey, guys. Great response time. Listen up. I got some theories.

Jim: Okay, so three books on a desert island, Angela.
Angela: The Bible.
Stanley: That's one book. You've got two others.
Angela: A Purpose Driven Life.
Jim: Nice. Third book.
Angela: No.
Jim: Okay, Phyllis.
Phyllis: The Da Vinci Code.
Jim: The Da Vinci Code.
Angela: I would take The Da Vinci Code, so I could burn The Da Vinci Code.

Michael Scott: Rule number four: In business image is everything. Andre Agassi. This car is an investment, right? If I have to take out a client or I'm seen around Scranton in it- I love it. I love this car. Do you like it?
Ryan: ... Yeah.

Jim: Wow.
Pam: Legends of the Fall.
Jim: Wow. Bridges of Madison County. Legally Blonde. These movies are just-
Pam: Well, I kind of like Legally-
Jim: Wait, wait, wait. Pam, no. Do you understand? The game is "desert island movies," not "guilty pleasure movies." Desert island movies are the movies you're gonna watch for the rest of your life. Forever.
Jim: Unforgivable.
Pam: I take it back.
Jim: Unforgivable.
Pam: I take it back.
Jim: Good.

Michael Scott: Look at this stuff. "Market fragments." What is that supposed to be?
Ryan: It's a way of looking at consumers as subsets of a larger client base.
Michael Scott: You are so smart. You are so effing smart. You should be teaching me.
