  1. Rolando

    Dunder Mifflin, this is Rolando. Oh yes, she's been expecting your call.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19570

  2. Karen

    Yeah.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19571

  3. Rolando

    Karen? He's on line one.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19572

  4. Karen

    Thanks Ro. Hey, we finally connected. How's Scranton?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19573

  5. Karen

    I am the regional manager of Dunder-Mifflin Utica branch. Turns out it's a pretty easy gig when your boss isn't an idiot and your boyfriend's not in love with somebody else.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19574

  6. Karen

    Look, All I'm saying is it would be a great opportunity, and we'd love to have you come aboard. So think about it, okay? Okay, bye.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19575

  7. Karen

    Look, for the record, a certain Scranton salesman approached me, okay?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19576

  8. Michael

    This is perfect.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19577

  9. Dwight

    He looks like your twin.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19578

  10. Michael

    This is a dummy, a la Ferris Bueller's Day Off. We have tied a string to the wrist, which goes to the door. When somebody opens the door, the hand goes down, hits the remote, turns on the tape recorder, which is me snoring. Now nobody knows whether I am here, or whether I am gone.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19579

  11. Dwight

    I will know.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19580

  12. Michael

    But, you will not tell anyone.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19581

  13. Dwight

    I won't need to because we'll be together playing hooky. Yeah.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19582

  14. Michael

    Well, sometimes. Most of the time I will be with Ryan, or Darryl. Yes? Oh good, good Stanley! First victim, this is what I want you to do. Go out, come back in. We're going to hide. I want you to tell me if this looks like me, okay?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19583

  15. Stanley

    I don't understand why sleeping at your desk is better than you not being here.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19584

  16. Michael

    Just go out, and come back in.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19585

  17. Stanley

    I got an offer from Utica for more money, and I'm going to take it.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19586

  18. Michael

    What?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19587

  19. Michael

    Hey everyone, can I have your attention please? I just thought you all should know that Stanley Hudson is planning on leaving us, because our old friend Karen from Utica is going to give him more money to work there.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19588

  20. All

    [applause]

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19589

  21. Michael

    No, no, no, no, no-no, no no. You completely misinterpreted my tone, this is a horrible thing. Clearly, Karen is trying to get back at us because Jim dumped her.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19590

  22. Jim

    Oh, I don't think that is what's happening.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19591

  23. Michael

    Okay, smarty pants, then why? Why is she trying to take Stanley from us?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19592

  24. Stanley

    I think it's because of my sales record.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19593

  25. Michael

    That could not possibly be it.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19594

  26. Michael

    You cannot take the hilarious black guy from the office. Stanley is part of what makes this branch so extraordinary. The bluesy wisdom, the sassy remarks, the crossword puzzles, the smile, those big watery red eyes. I don't know how George Bush did it when Colin Powell left, and if Utica thinks that they are going to poach Stanley, they have another thing coming.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19595

  27. Michael

    How can I get you to stay?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19596

  28. Stanley

    Money.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19597

  29. Michael

    Yeah we all want money. But there is none in the budget, so... Tell me why you're really leaving.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19598

  30. Stanley

    Money.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19599

  31. Michael

    Mo money mo problems, Stanley. You of all people should know that. Let me ask you this, if I were-

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19600

  32. Stanley

    Money.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19601

  33. Michael

    Pssh, kay.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19602

  34. Pam

    Oscar, did you bring it?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19603

  35. Oscar

    To be Edwardian. His best work.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19604

  36. Pam

    Okay, well I have the tablecloth, don't forget the flatware.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19605

  37. Oscar

    Sure thing Pam, can't wait.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19606

  38. Pam

    Oscar, Toby, and I are founding members of the Finer Things Club. We meet once a month to discuss books and art, celebrate culture in a very civilized way. Sometimes the debate can get heated, but we're always respectful. There is no paper, no plastic, and no work talk allowed. It's very exclusive.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19607

  39. Oscar

    Besides having sex with men, I would say that the Finer Things Club is the gayest thing about me.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19608

  40. Jim

    So tell me again why I can't be part of your club?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19609

  41. Pam

    Because some people think you monopolize the conversation by trying to be funny.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19610

  42. Jim

    Oscar?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19611

  43. Pam

    Some people.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19612

  44. Karen

    Hello?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19613

  45. Michael

    Fillipellers, how's it hanging?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19614

  46. Karen

    Michael...

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19615

  47. Michael

    To the left?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19616

  48. Karen

    Listen, I-

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19617

  49. Michael

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19618

  50. Karen

    I'm-

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19619

  51. Michael

    Okay, enough small talk, go ahead.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19620

  52. Karen

    You called me.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19621

  53. Michael

    Yes, listen, um... You cannot tear Stanley from his family like this.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19622

  54. Karen

    I'm pretty sure his family's coming with him.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19623

  55. Michael

    No, his work family. Look, this is very hard for me, but I'm going to give you my best man. You may have Toby.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19624

  56. Karen

    Toby's not a salesperson.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19625

  57. Michael

    You can train him. He's very very smart, and funny, and charming... You know, I can't do it, Toby is the worst. That- that was a bluff, um... Listen, if you are going to poach one of my guys, I'm going to poach one of yours.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19626

  58. Karen

    Oooh. Good-bye Michael.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19627

  59. Michael

    Okay, good-bye. Wait! Wait! Karen, could you transfer me to one of your salespeople please? Your best one?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19628

  60. Pam

    I have Ben Nugent on the line, he is the top salesman in Utica.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19629

  61. Michael

    Hi Ben, Michael Scott.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19630

  62. Ben

    Hi Michael.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19631

  63. Michael

    I'm going to cut right to the chase here. Do you like magic? Because I'm a genie in a bottle, and I'm going to grant you three wishes. To move to Scranton, to have a great job, and to be my best friend.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19632

  64. Ben

    Aren't you the guy that hit the woman with your car?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19633

  65. Pam

    [giggles]

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19634

  66. Michael

    Get out. Uh, yeah. I also saved her life, but I guess that's not as grabby.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19635

  67. Ben

    Everyone says Scranton branch is worse than Camden. Didn't everyone from Stanford quit, like immediately?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19636

  68. Michael

    No, I fired them, and your next. ... So what do you say?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19637

  69. Ben

    Seriously?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19638

  70. Michael

    What is that guy talking about? Scranton is not lame. Scranton is the cool, fun branch. We're like Animal House.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19639

  71. Dwight

    Found him!

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19640

  72. Michael

    Jim, we're getting crapped on. Word is that our branch sucks, and we have to do something about it.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19641

  73. Jim

    So what are you going to do?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19642

  74. Michael

    What are we going to do? We are going to make a monster sale, that's what we're going to do. Corcroan dropped Staples.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19643

  75. Jim

    Did they?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19644

  76. Michael

    Yes they did, oh yes they did, and we are going to murder it. You, me, Dwight are going to jump into my PT Cruiser, and we're going to crush this sale. We're going to prove, what the hell is that music?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19645

  77. Pam

    It's Vivaldi, for Finer Things.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19646

  78. Michael

    That's the problem, that's the problem. We need rock n' roll Pam, rock n' roll. Alright? Oh... My... God, that's why people are leaving. I- I have no words.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19647

  79. Jim

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19653

  85. Michael

    What are we doing, Dwight, what we are doing?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19654

  86. Dwight

    Well, gee, Jim, I don't know, I guess there's no sales call today.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Line 19655
