Quote from Michael Scott

Holly: Hey! Good movie.
Michael Scott: Mmmm, good? Everybody out there says it's great!
Holly: I loved it.
Michael Scott: Did you? What did you love about it?
Holly: Um, I loved that you got to work together with all your friends. Isn't that great when you can all work together like that?
Michael Scott: No, no. Holly, this isn't Ocean's Eleven, where you get together with all your friends and you just have fun and don't care about how it turns out. What'd you really think, honestly?

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Is it, is it because you're afraid of where this is gonna take me? See, because I need you... to keep me grounded.
Holly: Not worried about that.
Michael Scott: [angrily] It was eleven years, okay? This has been my dream for eleven years, and if you don't think it's great than you're basically saying that you don't believe in my dream.
Holly: Wha- It's your dream? You never even mentioned it before!
Michael Scott: Well, I talk about a lot of things, Holly! I was eventually gonna get around to my dream! Obviously! Eleven years that I could've been working on the Scarn Nebulus.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: [crying] This one's for you Cherokee Jack.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: We filmed this during an actual Scranton High School Hockey Game, trying to qualify for states.
Jim: Ssh, ssh. That's fine, it's great!
Michael Scott: No, no! Actually it's really screwed up because they [chuckles], they were trying to qualify, they were disqualified, they had to forfeit the game. Undefeated season. That's why there were so many people there.

Quote from Jim

Pam: Why is your face gold?
Jim: Why do you care?
Pam: I'm just making conversation.
Jim: I worked in a gold factory, we had a boss, who only cared about money...

Quote from Creed

Michael Scott: Cherokee Jack.
Creed: I want you to take all of your frustrations, with women, the system, with everything. Take it out on the puck. All on the puck.

Quote from Andy

Andy: [as Billy the bartender] Hey, we got sports games again!

Quote from Stanley

Stanley: [as narrator] Well, Michael Scarn was back in the game. And I bet you're wondering why do I know so much about Michael Scarn. [the camera reveals Michael Scarn, gray haired, talking with Stanley's voice] Well because I am Michael Scarn. [applause]

Quote from Todd

Todd: If doing The Scarn is gay, then I'm the biggest queer on Earth!
