    Season 7 · Episode 24 · Quote 45290

  7. You see, I sit across from a man. I see his face. I see his eyes. Now, does it matter if he wants a hundred dollars of paper or a hundred million dollars of deep-sea drilling equipment? Don't be a fool. He wants respect. He wants love. He wants to be younger. He wants to be attractive. There is no such thing as a product. Don't ever think there is. There is only... sex. Everything... is sex. You understand that what I'm telling you is a universal truth,... Toby.

    Season 7 · Episode 24 · Quote 45298

  10. That was your choice, not mine. The fallacy is that it is up to the steamroller. It is up to the object... whether it will be flattened or not, and I can tell from the small interaction we've had already, you won't be flattened by anybody. Do you agree with me, Jim?

    Season 7 · Episode 24 · Quote 45334

  18. I will get offered the job. That's a... call I've received many times. The slight hopefulness in their voice, the pregnant pause... while they wait to hear my response, and then... my response.

    Season 7 · Episode 24 · Quote 45702

  19. Hello.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45755

  20. Describe your day so far.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45757

  21. And when you recount your day, never say you woke up. It's a waste of your time. That's how every day's begun, for everyone, since the dawn of man.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45759

  22. What are your thoughts.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45767

  24. Great. Thank you.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45814

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45818

  27. Ah, please. Here's what it is. It's a doodle.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45820

  28. Some people doodle at work when they let their mind run. They draw houses, penises. Funny how the houses are always colonials and the penises are always circumcised. Don't you think? Well, I doodle too, but I'm not an artist. So I draw words and lists.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45822

  29. Might as well have been sketching a cube.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45824

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45850

  32. Sesame street.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45852

  33. Elmo, god's sake, it's the Elmo era.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45854

  34. Sesame Street was created to reflect the environment of the children watching it. Complete self-absorption of Elmo is brilliantly reflective of our time. Ours is a cultural ghetto. Wouldn't you agree.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45856

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45884

  40. Probably shouldn't have said that.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45886

  41. I never said that.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45907

  42. Let me tell you some things I find productive. Positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement. Honesty. I'll tell you some things I find unproductive. Constantly worrying about where you stand based on inscrutable social clues. And then, inevitably reframing it all in a reassuring way so that you can get to sleep at night. No, I do not believe in that at all. If I invited you to lunch, I think you're a winner. If I didn't, I don't. But I just met you all. Life is long, opinions change. Winners prove me right. Losers, prove me wrong.

    Season 8 · Episode 1 · Quote 45910

  67. Oh, you'd go someplace else. That's not it, that's not the answer.

    Season 8 · Episode 2 · Quote 46094

  68. It's a wrong answer.

    Season 8 · Episode 2 · Quote 46096

  69. Take a look at where you are, where you once worked in a dying industry, you now work at it's birth. Those superstores are terrified of us. Anybody know why?

    Season 8 · Episode 2 · Quote 46098

  70. Let me tell you how I buy something these days. I know what I want I go on the internet, I get the best price. Or I don't know what I want and I go to a small store that can help me. The era of personal service is back. You are back. You'll find that customers will pay our higher prices and then they will thank us, and we will say to them 'you are welcome.'

  73. Double.

    Season 8 · Episode 2 · Quote 46106

  74. Why did I choose Andy to run the office? Because he's all surface, uncomplicated. What you see is what you get. Could be a recipe for mediocrity, yes, but then again, it might just be why people fight for him.

    Season 8 · Episode 2 · Quote 46263

    Season 8 · Episode 4 · Quote 46785

  88. You people say I led you, but it wasn't me. You want to toast the man who led you to success, but the boss is irrelevant. Andy and I, we produce nothing. We do nothing. We sit in our offices and demand, I want this and that right now, like petulant children. You know, the difference between a crying baby and a manager, one day the baby will grow up. But, without you, Andy and I would be sitting in our dirty diapers, waiting for someone to change us, wipe us. I should be toasting you, thanking you, for allowing me to have the easiest job in the universe. Cheers.
