Episode Quotes
Jim: Last week, Dwight sent out a memo about the dress code. So, this is me showing him that I'm taking it very seriously.

Charles: You know, Michael, I don't need to know everyone's sexual history.
Michael: Well, perfect, because we have now arrived at Kevin, and he has no sexual history.
Kevin: Hey!

Michael: Come on. What's your wife's name? Where did you work before you came here?
Charles: Saticoy Steel.
Michael: Beautiful. See, African-Americans have such a rich history of unusual names.

Pam: I can tell Michael's mood by which comedy routine he chooses to do, the more infantile, the more upset he is. And he just skipped the Ace Ventura talking butt thing. He never skips it. This is bad.

Charles: Whatcha got, Jim? What is a two-way petting zoo?
Jim: You pet the animals, and they pet you back.

Michael: Fifteen years I have been here. And I have sacrificed a lot.
David: Yes.
Michael: I've put having a family on hold.
David: We didn't ask you to do that.
Michael: And I've never gone hang-gliding... and I've never driven my car to the top of Mount Washington.
