This is a little taste of the ceremony, if you will. He's explaining why we're here, what we're doing here, making introductions, blah blah blah... Then he's gonna have Andy repeat a bunch of stuff. He's gonna ask Andy to produce a ring. I have uh, now just uh... just some twine for our purposes, and you will put the ring on her finger. Yadda yadda, then he's going to ask Andy, uh, if he would like to marry Angela. And you will reply, 'I do.'

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25767

    Hmm, not much lumbar support.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25777

    Now everyone, bear in mind once again that whatever Hank says goes. He is an impartial third party.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25778

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25803

  60. David

    Is this why you're calling me?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25804

    No, no, no, no, no. No. I'm calling- I'm sorry.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25805

  62. David

    Okay.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25806

  63. Michael

    Mm. I'm calling because, um, we have a stupid budget surplus, and people-everybody wants something different.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25807

  64. David

    You want me to weigh in on a minor budget issue?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25808

  65. Michael

    No, no, no. I want you to make the decision so I'm not the bad guy.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25809

  66. David

    Well if I were you, I would just return the surplus and take the bonus.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25810

  67. Michael

    The what now?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25811

    Branch managers who come in under budget get 15% of the savings.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25812

  69. Michael

    ...Like a tip? $645?!

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25813

  70. Michael

    I hate disappointing just one person. And I really hate disappointing everyone. But I love Burlington Coat Factory. You go in there with $645, you are literally a king.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25814

  71. Jim

    We have that going out Tuesday... Okay? Sure, no, I can... I'll double-check that for you.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25815

  72. Michael

    All right, attention everyone.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25816

  73. Jim

    Let me call you right back. Okay.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25817

  74. Michael

    I have made my decision. We do not need a new copier. We do not need new chairs. This copier... is... working perfectly.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25818

  75. Oscar

    That's the original.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25819

  76. Michael

    Pam, would you stand up for a sec? Hmm. See how relaxed I am? I like this chair. Offers good support, it is urkelnomically correct... it's a good chair. I think we're spoiled because we don't appreciate the things that we have. You think kids in Africa have chairs? No. They sit in big piles of garbage. You think they have copiers? They don't have copiers. They don't even- Gah! They don't even have paper. And we are spoiled because we throw out perfectly good tiramisu because it has a little tiny hair on it. My point I this: I have seen the light in terms of what we need, and it is nothing.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25820

  77. Oscar

    Do you know?

    I think you know.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25823

  80. Michael

    Mm, no...

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25824

  81. Phyllis

    Know what?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25825

  82. Pam

    Yeah, know what?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25826

  83. Oscar

    Does anyone happen to know what 15% of 4300 is?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25827

  84. Michael

    $645.00

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25828

  85. Kevin

    Michael's a genius.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25829

  86. Michael

    Right.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25830

  87. Oscar

    Why'd you say dollars?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25831

  88. Michael

    Because that is how my mind works.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25832

  89. Oscar

    What's 15% of 200? Thank you. Everyone, Michael is returning the surplus so he can keep 15% as a bonus.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25833

  90. Jim

    Wait, what?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25834

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25835

  92. Kevin

    Hey Michael, what's 394 times 5,912?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25836

  93. Michael

    Let's see...

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25837

  94. Pam

    You're gonna give yourself a bonus of $645 instead of getting the entire office something it really needs?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25838

  95. Michael

    I don't need $645; I already have $645, more or less.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25839

  96. Oscar

    You're gonna get us a copier then?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25840

  97. Michael

    This is so stupid.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25841

  98. Pam

    Or chairs?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Quote 25842

  99. Michael

    This is so, so stupid. And, God... that's my phone.
