Episode Quotes |
| |
Dwight: No, don't call me a hero. Do you know who the real heroes are? The guys, who wake up every morning, and go into their normal jobs, and get a distress call from the commissioner, and take off their glasses and change into capes and fly around fighting crime. Those are the real heroes.
| Toby: This may be the first time that a male subordinate has attempted to get a modest, scheduled raise by threatening to withhold sex from a female superior. It will be a groundbreaking case when it inevitably goes to trial.
| Toby: I don't think Michael intended to punish me by putting Ryan back here with Kelly. But, if he did intend that, wow. Genius.
| Creed: I remember it was very late at night, like eleven, eleven-thirty. Big fella comes in, screaming about God knows what. I think maybe Halpert had stolen his car, something like that. So the big fella pulls out a sock filled with nickels, then Schrute, grabs a can of hairspray and a lighter-
Angela: You're useless.
| Andy: I graduated from anger management the same way I graduated from Cornell. On time. Now I'm back, got a second chance and I'm not gonna blow it. So look out Dunder Mifflin!! (Pause) I mean look out in a fun way, you know, not like I'm gonna hurt you.

Episode Goofs |
| |
The pepper-spray manages to get Jim, Pam and Dwight partially, but doesn't seem to affect Karen, despite being right next to Jim.
| When Darryl, Michael and Toby are diving in the car, the background changes frequently from being on a bridge to a neighborhood and to a city area. It's clear that the scene was done over a long drive.
