    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19571

  3. Rolando

    Karen? He's on line one.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19572

  4. Karen

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 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 · Quote 19575

  7. Karen

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19576

  8. Michael

    This is perfect.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19577

  9. Dwight

    He looks like your twin.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 19579

  11. Dwight

    I will know.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19580

  12. Michael

    But, you will not tell anyone.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19581

  13. Dwight

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 19583

  15. Stanley

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19584

  16. Michael

    Just go out, and come back in.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19585

  17. Stanley

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19586

  18. Michael

    What?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 19588

  20. All

    [applause]

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 19590

  22. Jim

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19591

  23. Michael

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19592

  24. Stanley

    I think it's because of my sales record.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19593

  25. Michael

    That could not possibly be it.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 19595

  27. Michael

    How can I get you to stay?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19596

  28. Stanley

    Money.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 19598

  30. Stanley

    Money.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 19600

  32. Stanley

    Money.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19601

  33. Michael

    Pssh, kay.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19602

  34. Pam

    Oscar, did you bring it?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19603

  35. Oscar

    To be Edwardian. His best work.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19604

  36. Pam

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19605

  37. Oscar

    Sure thing Pam, can't wait.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 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 · Quote 19608

  40. Jim

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19609

  41. Pam

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19610

  42. Jim

    Oscar?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19611

  43. Pam

    Some people.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19612

  44. Karen

    Hello?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19613

  45. Michael

    Fillipellers, how's it hanging?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19614

  46. Karen

    Michael...

  51. Michael

    Okay, enough small talk, go ahead.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19620

  52. Karen

    You called me.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19621

  53. Michael

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19622

  54. Karen

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 19624

  56. Karen

    Toby's not a salesperson.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 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 · Quote 19626

  58. Karen

    Oooh. Good-bye Michael.

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19627

  59. Michael

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

  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 · Quote 19632

    [giggles]

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19634

  66. Michael

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19635

  67. Ben

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19636

  68. Michael

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

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19637

  75. Jim

    Did they?

    Season 4 · Episode 6 · Quote 19644

  76. Michael
