Episode Quotes |
| |
Michael: In nature, there is something called a food chain. It's where the shark eats a little shark. And the little shark eats a littler shark. And so on and so on. Until you get down to the single cell shark. So now replace sharks with paper companies and that is all you need to know about business.
| Andy: Each side will have three minutes to prepare opening arguments. Topic: Hilary Swank is attractive.
Everyone: Hot!
Kevin: The debate is whether she is hot.
Stanley: What difference does it make? Attractive, beautiful, hot... we're talking about the same thing here.
Kevin: Huge difference! A painting can be beautiful, but I don't want to bang a painting.
Andy: Okay, TMI.
| Michael: So, even specialty paper, say 94 brightness double-bonded, you would put that on the same truck as your conventional stock?
Roger Prince: You sure know a lot about paper for a lawyer.
Michael: Well that is... because... I am a genius.
| Pam: Ladies, are we prepared to let the Kevins of the world decide anything for us? Anything at all? We don't even give him full internet access.
Kevin: Wait... what?
| Michael: My heart says...
Dwight: Your heart is a wonderful thing, Michael. But it has made some terrible decisions.

| Kevin: Ladies and gentlemen, even though the penis was fake, I was expecting a second plot twist where we found out Hilary Swank was a boy.
Kevin is referring to a plot point in the 1999 film, Boys Don't Cry.
| Angela: Okay, I wasn't going to dignify this discussion by getting involved, but I don't even get the discussion. Hot is a temperature, people. But Kevin deserves to lose for what he said, so, yes, she's hot. She's hot as heck - she's a female Boris Becker.
Boris Becker is a German tennis player who has previously won Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, and the Australian Open.
| Michael: Why don't we just, live and let live?
Dwight: What?
Michael: Live and let live.

Michael: It's from James Bond.
Michael actually means "Live and Let Die," from the 1973 James Bond film of the same name, and the theme song written by Paul McCartney and Wings.
| Dwight: There was a terrible war. Ugh, so many died. Far too many died. But if Frodo hadn't destroyed the ring, then goodness itself might have died.
Dwight is referring to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, written by J.R.R. Tolkien.
