Dwight: A knife.
Phyllis: You're making a knife with a knife?
Dwight: You got a better way?
Michael: Some of what we order depends on whether we're having sex after. (laughs uncomfortably) Oh, my. Wow, elephant in the room! Are we, do you think? Do you think we're going to have sex tonight?
Holly: Hell yeah!
Dwight: Why is she marrying Andy?

Creed: Nobody steals from Creed Bratton and gets away with it. The last person to do this disappeared. His name? (whispers) Creed Bratton.

Cultural References
Michael: (on the phone, to Pam) Pam-e-laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Michael calls out Pam's name in a way that mimics the
Ricola cough drop commercials that air on television.
Michael: To recoup their losses, I am planning a little charity auction, where people from all over Scranton can come and bid on our goods and services. I'm calling it Crime-Aid. It's like Farm Aid, but instead of farms fighting against AIDS, it is us fighting against our own poverty.
Michael mistakenly thinks Farm Aid was about fighting AIDS, but it was actually a benefit concert for family farms held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois.
Holly: Michael scored the big ticket item. Springsteen tickets! The boss scored 'The Boss.'
Holly indicates the tickets are for a
Bruce Springsteen concert, as he is often referred to as "The Boss."
Darryl: Mike gave me a list of his top ten Springsteen songs. Three of them were Huey Lewis and the News. One was Tracy Chapman, 'Fast Car.' And my personal favorite, 'Short People.'
"Fast Car" by singer-songwriter
Tracy Chapman was a hit in 1988. "Short People" was recorded by
Randy Newman in 1977.
