Quote from Jim

Quote from Phyllis

Phyllis: Dwight had a big personality and I have a big personality. And a lot of times when two people like that get together, it can be explosive.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Paris: Really coming down out there. The commute's gonna be hell.
Dwight K. Schrute: I have snow tires and chains, plus exceptional hand-eye coordination.
Paris: So, where were you working before this?
Dwight K. Schrute: Dunder Mifflin.
Paris: What kind of company is that?
Dwight K. Schrute: [laughing] Paper company. We're only one of Staples' top competitors in the area.
Paris: I never heard of them.
Dwight K. Schrute: Oh, really? Have you heard of paper?
Paris: It's gonna be like that, huh?
[aside to camera:]
Paris: I don't like him, his giant head, or his beady, little eyes. That's all I got to say on the matter.

Quote from Andy

Andy: So Michael had a little chat with corporate and they decided to send me to management training. Anger management, technically, but still, management material. This whole thing's supposed to take ten weeks. I expect to be done in five. How? Name repetition, personality mirroring and positive reinforcement through nods and smiles. So don't worry about old Andy Bernard. I'll be back. Just like Rambo.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Okay, now going by seniority. Phyllis, our resident senior.
Phyllis: We're the same age.

Quote from Jim

Jim: Dwight and I used to go on sales calls all the time. In fact, I have a picture to remember that time. Oh, young Jim. There's just so much I need to warn you about and yet, tragically, I cannot.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Dwight betrayed me once before. So this is his strike two. You know what they say? "Fool me once, strike one. But fool me twice, strike three."

Quote from Andy

Andy: [sobbing] I'm so sorry, man. I really screwed that up. I really-
Michael Scott: No. Don't worry about it.
Andy: I really Schruted it.
Michael Scott: What?
Andy: I Schruted it. It's just this thing people say around your office all the time. Like when you screw something up in a really irreversible way, you Schruted it. I don't know where it comes from, though. You think it comes from Dwight Schrute?
Michael: I don't know. Who knows how words are formed.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: It takes a big man to admit his mistake and that's what I did. The important thing is, I learned something. I don't want somebody sucking up to me because they think I'm going to help their career. I want them sucking up to me because they genuinely love me.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Michael Scott: I know that you went to corporate this morning. And I know that you lied about it. And given our history, I need you to tell me right now exactly what you were doing this morning.
Dwight K. Schrute: Michael, I cannot tell you what I was doing there. But you have to trust me. I would never do anything to hurt you or this company.
Michael Scott: Okay, you know what? I want you to think about your future at this company. I want you to think about it long and hard.
Dwight K. Schrute: That's what she said.
Michael Scott: Don't- Don't you dare.
