Episode Notes |
| |
Look closely in Michael's office closet. He has a picture of Jan hanging up on the door, but it's from a company newsletter.
| Dwight's speech is nearly a word-for-word duplicate of Mussolini's "War Statement" speech from World War II.
| This was the last performance of guest star John Kelly, who was tragically killed in an auto accident in Florida on February 9, 2006.

Episode Quotes |

Pam: Maybe we'll use a DJ? It's the one thing Roy's in charge of, but all he's managed to do is set a date.
Kelly: Well, he did a great job, June 10th is perfect. I want a June wedding. I've always wanted one. Ryan, do you know when you would want to get married?
Ryan: Actually, I don't see ever getting married.
Kelly: Oh. (Leaves the room)
Pam: Ryan, you should be more sensitive. It's obvious she likes you, and comments like that, they just--
Ryan: I know what I said.
| Dwight: When I was in the sixth grade, I was a finalist in our school spelling bee. It was me against Raj Patel. And I misspelled, in front of the entire school... the word "failure."
| Jim: So, uh, I am going on a trip, but I'm not really sure where I'm going yet. It's kinda open-ended. So I was hoping maybe you guys would have some suggestions.
Kevin: You should go to Hedonism.
Jim: What is that?
Kevin: It's like Club Med, but everything is naked.
| Jim: Okay, I actually didn't major in public speaking, but I did download speeches from some of history's famous dictators. Like, this one, (Jim holds up paper) originally given by Benito Mussolini.
| Michael: But seriously, what’s the difference between a salesman and a saleswoman?
Dwight: Saleswoman has a vagina.
| Michael: Try not to be such an idiot.
Dwight: Is that an insult or is that part of the public speaking advice?
Michael: Insult.
| Dwight: I can't do this.
Michael: That's because you're incapable of doing it. Because you don't know how. Because you have no skills. Dwight, there's no way I can possibly teach you what you need to know about public speaking by speech time.
Dwight: Okay.
| Jim: What did I do to deserve this?
Pam: Are you sad that Dwight beat you?
Jim: No.
Pam: Are you going to cry Jim? Do you need a tissue?
