Episode Quotes
 
Pam: Here’s what we think happened: Michael’s sidekick, who all through the movie is this complete idiot who’s causing the downfall of the United States, was originally named Dwight. But then Michael changed it to Samuel L. Chang using a search and replace. But that doesn’t work on misspelled words, leaving behind one 'Dwigt.' And Dwight figured it out. Oops.
 
Dwight: Yes, I have acted before. I was in a production of Oklahoma in the 7th grade. I played the role of Mutey the Mailman. They had too many kids, so that had to make up roles like that. I was good.
 
Michael: First guy says, 'Well, I'm an astronaut, so I drive a Saturn.' And the second guy says, 'Well, I am a pimp, so I drive a cheap Escort.' And the third guy says, 'I got you both beat. I'm a proctologist, so I drive a brown Probe.'
Christian: (Laughs) Oh no-ho-ho! Oh my God, that's funny! I almost had Awesome Blossom coming out of my nose!
 
Jim: So this possible client they're talking about... actually a big deal. It's Lackawanna county. Our whole county. And if we get this, they might not have to downsize our branch. And I could work here for years... and years... and... years.
 
Michael: Chili's is the new golf course. It's where business happens. Small Businessman Magazine.
Jan: It said that?
Michael: It will. I sent it in. Letter to the Editor.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Kevin: Michael’s movie? Two thumbs... down.

Kevin is imitating Siskel and Ebert (now Ebert and Roeper & The Movies) and their method of rating films.
