Deangelo: No matter how many times I reach out to Dwight, he doesn't seem to want anything to do with me. It reminds me of my relationship with my son. Except there, I'm the Dwight.

Quote from Ryan

Kelly: What?
Ryan: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
Kelly: Why should I pretend that you are my boss?
Ryan: Because what would you have done in that situation, Kelly? I'll tell you what I would have done for you. I'd lie for you.
Kelly: Yeah, but you lie all the time. You lie for no reason. Ryan, you just like to lie.
Ryan: I'd die for you too.
Kelly: You really would?
Ryan: [hears Deangelo entering] Hey, Kelly Kapoor, if I don't have those call logs on my desk, we're just gonna have to evaluate your future at the company!
Kelly: Sure thing, Mr. Howard.
Deangelo: Woo. Glad he's not my boss.
Ryan: [whispers to Kelly] You're the best. Thank you.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Deangelo: You know what... straight up, why don't you like me?
Dwight K. Schrute: I'm just not a suck-up like everyone else around here. Okay? I do my job well, so why don't you just leave me alone and let me do it. Okay?
Deangelo: Oh... no.
Dwight K. Schrute: What?
Deangelo: Okay? I'm gonna win you over.
Dwight K. Schrute: No, you're not.
Deangelo: Yes I am.
Dwight K. Schrute: No.
Deangelo: Oh, yes.
Dwight K. Schrute: No.
Deangelo: Yes.
Dwight K. Schrute: No.

Quote from Kelly

Kelly: [on the phone] Mom, Ryan's taking us out to dinner tonight. No, no, he's not going to stand us up like he did last time. He won't ever stand us up again.
[later, both talking to camera:]
Ryan: So I am the new customer service supervisor.
Kelly: When Deangelo's around.
Ryan: And I am also a very dutiful boyfriend when...
Kelly: All the time.
Ryan: All the time.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Deangelo: Erin, do you mind running down to the lobby and bringing up my brand new executive assistant?
Erin: Absolutely.
Jim: Hey, who'd you end up hiring?
Deangelo: Oh, I'm glad you asked, Jim. Because apparently there's a rumor running around here that I am a sexist. I can't work here effectively if you guys think I'm something that I am not. I am not a sexist. Raise your hand if you have a vagina. Raise your hand if someone you love has a vagina. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Just about everyone. What about Deangelo's hand? Oh, wow. He's got 'em both up. Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah, so it bothers me when I hear that there's gossip around here that I treat women lesser than men. Okay? Frankly, we all look a little ridiculous when that happens.
Phyllis: I'm not a feminist, but I think that the men in this office are being given chances that the women aren't.
Deangelo: Dwight, what's your take?
Dwight K. Schrute: What's the argument here? NBA, WNBA. One is a sport, one is a joke. I love sports, I love jokes. Room for all.
Deangelo: Man, you are smart.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Jordan: Dwight? Deangelo wanted me to ask you if there's anything I can help you with.
Dwight K. Schrute: Really? Anything.
Jordan: Do you need anything?
Dwight K. Schrute: Deangelo, tell your whore to leave me alone.
