Quote from Kevin

Kevin: Angela.
Angela: What?
Kevin: That was a voicemail that corporate left last night. They did not get our tax forms. Did you send them?
Angela: They arrived this morning.
Kevin: Are you sure? It is a big deal if-
Angela: Is it a big deal? Is it, Kevin?

Quote from Andy

Michael Scott: Okay. Here is the dream team. [Phyllis blows her nose] My sales dream team. Today we are going to team up for sales calls. Andy, since this was your idea, you get to pick first.
Andy: Well, let me think about this for a minute. Oh, I don't know. Michael Scott? PhD. Doctor of sales.
Michael Scott: Well, I appreciate that. That's very gracious of you.
Andy: Well, it is very gracious of you to accept.
Michael Scott: Well, thank you, sir.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Dwight!
Dwight K. Schrute: Yeah?
Michael Scott: Here you go.
Dwight K. Schrute: Yeah! You want shirts on hangers?
Michael Scott: Please.
Andy: [to Michael] He does your laundry?
Michael Scott: Long story.

Quote from Andy

Andy: In order to take down Dwight, I have to chip away at his ally. In this case, Michael. And here's the good news. Every success I've ever had in my job or with the lady folk has come from my ability to slowly and painfully wear someone down.

Quote from Andy

Andy: What's the deal with Dwight doing your laundry?
Michael Scott: That is a long story. A couple of months ago, Dwight tried to go behind my back with Jan and get my job. And I am now having him do my laundry as punishment.
Andy: Wow. That is a long story, but quite well told, Michael. I find it very interesting. Especially the part about Dwight going behind your back and basically being, like, a terrible person. You know, if you want your laundry done right, I used to work at Abercrombie, so... Pretty good folder.

Quote from Andy

Michael Scott: You know what? Let's get right down to it. Dunder Mifflin may be just two rooms and a warehouse, but what we lack in flash, we will make up for with hard work and decency.
Andy: Okay, this is the classic undersell. Because you should know we don't work out of a log cabin. We trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Ever heard of it? It's in New York.

Quote from Andy

Richard Corey: I have to say I'm a little wary of getting involved with a big company. We've had some problems in the past.
Michael Scott: And I think what Andy is trying to express is that while we have the resources of a large company, we will give you the care and attention of a small company.
Andy: Man, that is like poetry. I swear.
Michael Scott: No.
Andy: This guy could sell paper to a tree stump.

Quote from Pam

Pam: Yeah, I did a watercolor of Francis Willard Elementary School for a contest they were having. They were calling with the results. And I won. I won. My painting won! So I'd like to thank my mom for always encouraging me. And I'd like to thank my dad for buying me my first set of art pencils. And I'd like to thank the sixth-grade class that picked me.

Quote from Pam

Pam: Hey, Angela, I got good news today, too. I won an art contest.
Angela: That's great, Pam. I like having these little moments with you. You know what? Sprinkles recently had kittens. I would like to offer you the dominant male. His name is Ash.
Pam: Oh. Hmm. I don't think so. But thanks. My building manager is- You understand.
Angela: Well then, have a nice day.

Quote from Andy

Michael Scott: Hey, boss. Got a minute?
Michael Scott: Yes, Andy.
Andy: I forget. Why did Dwight say he was late this morning?
Michael Scott: He didn't say.
Andy: That's weird. Because I was just walking past his desk and I saw this, which is a toll booth receipt from New York City, stamped really early this morning. So... Why would Dwight go to New York without telling anyone? You think he went to see Jan? That's not like him, is it? Someone told me a story about this- With like laundry and betrayal. Did you betray Dwight and try to steal his job or something?
Michael Scott: No. You are remembering it wrong.
