  • Dwight: Agro-tourism is a lot more than a bed-and-breakfast. It consists of tourists coming to a farm, showing them around, giving them a bed, giving them breakfast.

  • Michael: I just love sales. I love it to death. It's as simple as that. And I don't get to do it enough as a manager, so I took this second job. I count it as a hobby. Some people have golf, or relaxing.

  • Jim: That's just a figure of speech, ya know... "Blow Your Brains Out". Come on, all it really means is that we're friends!

  • Michael: Chili's is the new golf course. It's where business happens. Small businessman magazine.

  • Angela: Gift-baskets are... the essence of class and fanciness. They are the ultimate present that a person can receive.
    Dwight: What about cash? With cash you can buy whatever you want, including a gift-basket, so... it's kind of the best gift ever.
    Jim: What about a gift-basket full of cash?
    Andy: Yes! Cash-basket! Nice work, Tuna.

  • Ryan: So... how are you?
    Kelly: Awesome. I am dating a lot of guys. A lot... black guys, mostly.

  • Andy: Jim Halpert's off the market. Guess who just became the best-looking single guy in the office.

  • Angela: It's not a surprise to me. Pam is the office mattress.

  • Angela: I would take "The DaVinci Code" so I could burn "The DaVinci Code".

  • Dwight: Listen up kid! I don't like you. But because some town in Switzerland says so, you have rights.

  • Toby: Technically, I am in human resources and Dwight was asking about human anatomy. Uhmm... I'm just sad that the public school system failed him so badly.

  • Michael: I'm an early bird... And, I'm a night owl. So I'm wise, and, I have worms... Um...

  • Michael: Everyone always wants some new things. Everyone likes new inventions, new technology. People will never be replaced by machines. In the end life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake, and to make the choices easy.

  • Pam: (Talking about the logo design) Yeah! I'm gonna do some mock-ups. And then turn those into thumbnails, and then do some, uh... splash frames? I don't know what I'm talking about but I'm excited!!

  • Angela: (After Dwight tries to give her a new cat, Garbage) I can't believe you just thought you could replace Sprinkles. Before she's even in the ground.
    Dwight: You haven't buried her yet?
    Angela: Don't push me. I'm grieving.
    Dwight: Garbage can be very helpful, okay? He's a useful cat. He killed an entire family of raccoons. Look at him.
    Angela: I don't want Garbage! I want Sprinkles!
