Episode Quotes
 
Darryl: We do safety training every year, or after an accident. We've never made it a full year.
 
Dwight: Yes. I have decided to shun Andy Bernard for the next three years. Which I'm looking forward to. It's an Amish technique. It's like slapping someone with silence. I was shunned from the age four until my sixth birthday for not saving the excess oil from a can of tuna.
 
Dwight: I think he wants you all to come out to the parking lot and watch him die.
Stanley: Is it nice outside?
Dwight: It's gorgeous. Let's go.
Stanley: Do I need my jacket?
Dwight: No really. It's very nice. Come on!
Ryan: Will I be too warm in a long-sleeve tee?
Dwight: Everyone's gonna be fine in exactly what they're wearing. Come on! Let's go!
 
Jim: Well, you know, the first performance was a little off, but I really think they hit their stride in the second show. Um, might even bring my parents tomorrow to the matinée.
 
Jim: He's going to kill himself, pretending to kill himself.
 
Darryl: That's what I've been trying to tell you, Mike. It's serious down there. We do dangerous stuff, man. This is shenanigans, foolishness, Nerf-ball. You live a sweet, little, Nerf-y life. Sittin' on your biscuit. Never havin' to risk it.
Michael: Okay... what, Nerf isn't cool anymore?
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Darryl states that the warehouse has never gone a full year without an accident. However, in the episode, "Boys and Girls" there is a sign in the warehouse that says they haven't had an accident for 936 days, which is more than two years.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Michael: Dwight, you ignorant slut!

This is a reference to many early episodes of Saturday Night Live, where, in a debate sketch, Dan Aykroyd would say to Jane Curtin, "Jane, you ignorant slut."
 
Michael: Darryl thinks he is such a man because he works in a warehouse. I worked in a warehouse. Men's Warehouse. I was a greeter. I'd like to see Darryl greet people. Probably make 'em feel like wimps. Not me, I... 'Hello, I'm Michael. Welcome to Men's Warehouse. We have a special on khaki pants today.' ... This is one example.

The Men's Warehouse is a clothing store for men, and its slogan is, "You'll like the way you look."
 
 
Episode References
 
Andy: Several weeks ago, Andy Bernard had an incident. But after five weeks in anger management, I’m back. And I’ve got a new attitude, and a new name. And... a bunch of new techniques for dealing with the grumpies.

The incident Andy refers to was his angry reaction when Jim played a prank on him in the episode, "The Return."
