When Robert tasks Andy with increasing sales at the Scranton branch, he struggles to find ways to motivate his employees.
Quote from Stanley
Andy: T-bag bone...
Jim: Andrew.
Andy: Have you noticed a little bit of a mood shift around here?
Jim: No, I haven't noticed anything.
Andy: Really? Because I sat next to Stanley for years and this is nap time. Open eye nap time. He balances the phone on his shoulder and just powers down. Now look at him.
Stanley: [on the phone] You've got to unleash the power of the Pyramid!
Quote from Dwight K. Schrute
Dwight K. Schrute: Obviously, you can go the ass tattoo route. And obviously, I'm gonna like it.
Quote from Andy
Andy: It's a Nard Dog! [group cheers] That's my nickity-name! I love it, I love it!
Jim: Pull up your pants.
Quote from Dwight K. Schrute
Dwight K. Schrute: Here's how I'm going to help out from now on. I'm going to not care, and I'm going to sit around quietly waiting for Andy's inevitable demise.
Quote from Kevin
Darryl: It's okay, E-Dog. Just who called?
Erin: Justine. She said she's coming by later.
Jim: Your ex-wife?
Kevin: Wait, I thought she was a [beep] and you [beep] hated her guts?
Darryl: No, no, no, no. I like her.
Kevin: Well, I'm just quoting you. I would never say that about her. I don't know the woman.
Quote from Darryl
Darryl: Yeah, we had a few fights, I suppose. But last night we put a lot of that to bed. I can't tell you what I did with my ex wife last night... I have to sing it. [singing] We took a shower. We were naked. We ska dap dap doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
Quote from Erin
Erin: Would you be requiring a cold beverage while you're here?
Robert: I'd love some coffee.
Quote from Andy
Andy: What's up, guys? Just thought we'd have a little rap session, talk about business, see how things are going? [clears throat]
Jim: Why don't you start?
Andy: If no one else wants to? I was just thinking about Robert. Man, what a boss. Just throws down goals, you know? Anyway, how's the sales doubling project going?
Phyllis: Yeah, how are we supposed to do that? We can't just press a magic button.
Andy: Of course not. There's no magic button. You have to summon that.
Stanley: If we could just double our sales, we already would have. You're not making any sense.
Jim: He brings up two good points. Do you have any new leads? Any new territories you want us to look into? Maybe have an in with a big client that we can get our foot in the door?
Andy: [silence]
Quote from Jim
Andy: You know what? We need to get our heads out of the box. If we did have something, what would it look like? What would it be? Tuna.
Jim: New leads, a new territory to look into, maybe an in with a big company that we could get our foot in the door.
Andy: Fart. Good sesh. [gets up] That leg's asleep.
Quote from Kevin
Justine: Hello. I'm looking for Darryl Philbin?
Kevin: Don't! Oh, you must think... I'm not. I'm using the fax. This isn't- No, wait. I'm not supposed to represent the company. Right? There's usually an Erin here.
Justine: Ok?
Kevin: So, Darryl! A girl!
