Quote from Pam

Pam: I literally cannot wait until I see what Dwight has planned. And I wish Jim were here.

Quote from Michael Scott

David: What do you think we can be doing better?
Michael Scott: I've never been a big fan of the name Dunder Mifflin. I was thinking we could name the company something like Paper Great or Great Paper's Our Passion. [as Tony the Tiger] We're great! I don't know. It could be good. Or Super Duper Paper. It's super duper. I don't know. Something like that.
David: Okay.
Michael Scott: Okay.
David: Thanks for coming in, Michael.
Michael Scott: Thank you.
David: It is always a treat when our paths cross.
Michael Scott: It is always a treat when our paths cross.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: So, oh, before I forget, I wanted to let you know, if you hadn't already heard, Jan and I are back together. So I may need to fill out one of those love documents again.
David: You're back together.
Michael Scott: Yes. And I am very excited about the prospect of working under her. Or on top of her. That's not sexual. Just- We're all professionals.
David: Okay. Well, I thought it was clear in the description of the position. The job you're applying for is Jan's job.
Michael Scott: I don't understand. So we're going to tag-team it?
David: No. We're letting Jan go.

Quote from Michael Scott

Jan: How was your interview?
Michael Scott: Pretty good.
Jan: Yeah?
Michael Scott: Could have gone better, I guess.
Jan: Oh. Well, I will put in a good word for you.
Michael Scott: Cool. Maybe you should do it sooner rather than later.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Let's just run away together. Let's just run away to Jamaica, live in a bungalow. You have some savings, right? You can pay off my debts. It would be fine. We'd have fun.
Jan: What's- What's the matter? What- What happened in there?
Michael Scott: I can't tell you.
Jan: Tell me what?

Quote from Jan

Jan: Bye, Hunter.
Hunter: Bye.
Jan: Good luck with your band.
Hunter: Oh, thank you-
Jan: Don't let them change you, okay? [exiting:] So long, [bleep]!

Quote from Jan

Michael Scott: No, don't cry. It's going to be okay.
Jan: Oh, I know. I know. It's just- I'm sorry. It's just these painkillers that I started taking since the surgery. Oh, they make my moods totally unpredictable.

Quote from Jan

Jan: Actually, wait a minute, this could be great. This could be perfect. You know, my full-time job can be our relationship. I can wear stretch pants and wait for you to come home at 5:15. It could work. This could work, really.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Why is my office black?
Dwight K. Schrute: To intimidate my subordinates.
Michael Scott: That's stupid.
Dwight K. Schrute: It was Andy's idea.
Michael Scott: You shouldn't have taken it. Bad management. [as Terminator] Good thing I'm back.
