  1. Jo Bennett

    That's right, darlin', now you're the proud new owner of a Sabre handbook and my autobiography. Now, you all must be in a tizzy. I can see it on your faces, I mean, what's going on now? I mean, who owns Dunder Mifflin? Right? I mean, Sabre? What's that? Some company I've never heard of? Down in Tallahassee? Where is that? Near Mars?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35201

  2. Michael

    No, we know. Texas!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35202

  3. Jo Bennett

    Now Dunder Mifflin has an arm's reach in all these small businesses all over the northeast. Now we're gonna take that arm, and we're gonna start selling printers.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35203

  4. Michael

    I could manage my way around that.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35204

  5. Jo Bennett

    They're the easiest-to-use printers on the market.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35205

  6. Michael

    I will try to manage my excitement!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35206

  7. Michael

    I have been saying the word 'manager' a lot, so whenever Jo thinks 'manager' she thinks of me. Camel cigarettes did the same thing with Joe Camel by making him look like a penis. I can't even go near a cigarette now without thinking of a penis. And vise-versa.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35207

  8. Jo Bennett

    I think that's it. So we're all good! Thanks ya'll.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35208

    I, uh...

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35209

  10. Kelly

    Oh my God.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35210

  11. Kelly

    I guess Andy likes me. I never thought of him in that way. But, I guess in most romantic comedies, the guy you're supposed to be with is the one you never thought of in that way. You might have even thought he was annoying or possibly homosexual.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35211

  12. Pam

    So, check this out. According to the handbook, you could make more money as a salesman than as a manager. They have all these incentive programs. I ran your numbers from last year.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35212

  13. Jim

    This is way more than I make now.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35213

  14. Jim

    I don't think I'm gonna miss being manager. You know how some people say they're not in it for the money? Well, with all due respect to this job, I think I'm definitely in it for the money. And quite honestly, the women.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35214

  15. Jim

    Hey, you got a second?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35215

  16. Michael

    Sure. You here to tell me that you think I would be a better manager and that you are sorry for being such a jerk?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35216

  17. Jim

    Actually, yeah.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35217

  18. Michael

    What?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35218

  19. Jim

    Exactly that. I think that you absolutely deserve the manager position more than I do.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35219

  20. Michael

    What? Really?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35220

  21. Jim

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35225

  26. Oscar

    The Atlantic.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35226

  27. Michael

    Oh, that is my favorite ocean! I love it! I am so happy right now. No! I can't keep it a secret any longer. Jim is stepping down to salesman, I am going to be the sole manager once again.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35227

  28. Oscar

    I should step into sales myself.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35228

  29. Michael

    Why, is there an untapped gay market?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35229

  30. Oscar

    Sabre has no caps on commissions. He can make a lot more money in sales.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35230

  31. Michael

    ...Where did you get that information.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35231

  32. Oscar

    Manual.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35232

  33. Michael

    Manuel who?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35233

  34. Michael

    Well, according to the manual, there is no cap on commissions. I have been hustled.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35234

  35. Michael

    Son of a bitch. Pardon me.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35235

  36. Jo Bennett

    Oh, speak of the devil. We were just talking about you. Have a seat!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35236

  37. Michael

    Okay.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35237

  38. Jo Bennett

    Now Jim here is thinking about taking himself out of the running for being manager.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35238

  39. Michael

    Really? Aw, that is so sweet of you! But, I cannot accept, because I have been thinking about it, and I think I wanna go back to sales.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35239

  40. Jo Bennett

    Really?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35240

  41. Jim

    Really.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35241

  42. Michael

    Yeah. You can take the man out of the salesman, but you can't take the sales out of salesman.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35242

  43. Jo Bennett

    Well, I think you're both being a little too modest.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35243

  44. Jim

    No, I really, really think Michael is better at being manager for so many reasons.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35244

  45. Michael

    No, I think I would be bad. I would sleep in my office, and I would sexually harass people.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35245

  46. Jim

    Why would you do that?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35246

  47. Michael

    I'm turning myself in right now!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35247

  48. Jo Bennett

    You know, Michael, you have more experience in sales and management, so I'm gonna defer to your judgment.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35248

  49. Michael

    Thank you.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35249

    I think you will become the salesman, and congratulations! You're gonna be the new manager of this branch!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35250

  51. Michael

    Great! That's great. Congratulations. Have fun signing my commission checks, boss.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35251

  52. Pam

    Oh, Michael marked his heights. He's grown!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35252

  53. Jim

    Mm!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35253

  54. Dwight

    Bobcat, this is Dragon. Listen. He's been promoted to sole manager. We've got to step this up. Meet me behind the dumpster in ninety seconds. 89... 88...

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35254

  55. Dwight

    You're twenty minutes late!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35255

  56. Ryan

    Um, I was at another dumpster!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35256

  57. Dwight

    Just admit you lost track of time.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35257

  58. Dwight

    Ryan and I have been meeting up to work on our diabolical plot against Jim. Ryan is always late for our meetings. I wish I had a lair.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35258

  59. Ryan

    Did you see Saw?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35259

  60. Dwight

    Of course I seesaw. Mose and I seesaw all the time.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35260

  61. Ryan

    No, uh, the movie. Did you see the movie Saw?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35261

  62. Dwight

    Oh, yeah. Great film. Almost as fun as going on a seesaw.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35262

  63. Ryan

    Okay, the reason these movies are so popular, is the element of psychological torment.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35263

  64. Dwight

    I like where you're going with this. Continue.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35264

  65. Ryan

    Could we lure him into an old warehouse or something?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35265

  66. Dwight

    I have an old barn!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35266

  67. Ryan

    Yes!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35267

  68. Dwight

    It's kinda smelly, but that might be a plus! And then what?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35268

  69. Ryan

    We do what they did in Saw! ... I mean, we don't kill him, obviously. I have a mask...

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35269

  70. Dwight

    Okay, that's your idea? Exactly like in the movie!? That is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard in my life!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35270

  71. Ryan

    Well suggest something else then! Don't just...

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35271

  72. Dwight

    He's supposed to cut his leg off? Think!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35272

  73. Ryan

    Don't just criticize my idea!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35273

  74. Dwight

    Think!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35274

  75. Ryan

    You think of something then!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35275

  76. Erin

    Michael, I'm worried that, uh, not all your toys are gonna fit on your new desk.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35276

  77. Michael

    How is that possible?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35277

  78. Erin

    Well, in your old office there were all those ledges and extra space.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35278

  79. Michael

    No excuses Erin, come on! Make it happen.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35279

  80. Erin

    You know, I actually think I should get back to work. Jim asked me to do some stuff, and he's manager.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35280

  81. Michael

    Oh, yeah. Fine, fine. Leave it here. I have to make some sales anyway. Who should I call with my magic sales fingers? Michael Scott, head of sales.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35281

  82. Jim

    You gotta do something, man. You can't just sit there.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35282

  83. Dwight

    The new IT guy. Nick.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35283

  84. Ryan

    Nick.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35284

  85. Dwight

    I think he is the key. He's very trusting, he's looking for friends, he has been given an awesome amount of power, and does not know how to wield it.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35285

  86. Ryan

    Like Frodo!

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35286

  87. Dwight

    Why don't you just let me handle the Tolkien references, okay dumb jock?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35287

  88. Ryan

    Well, I think he can be corrupted. Like Gollum.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35288

  89. Dwight

    Smeagol was corrupted and became Gollum.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35289

  90. Dwight

    I might start a diabolical plot against him after this one.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35290

  91. Erin

    Who's hungry?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35291

  92. Jim

    What is that?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35292

  93. Erin

    It's ants on a log. Michael would always have me bring them in at 2:30 and say 'Who's hungry?'

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35293

  94. Jim

    Oh. I'm fine. Thank you, though.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35294

  95. Erin

    Do you want me to spin you in your chair and make you dizzy?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35295

  96. Jim

    Why would I wanna do that?

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35296

  97. Erin

    It's a thinking technique. All the top executives do it. It keeps the brain moving, and a spinning brain is a working brain.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35297

  98. Jim

    For now, I'm just gonna go back to work here...

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35298

  99. Erin

    Oh sure.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35299

  100. Jim

    Yeah. Thank you.

    Season 6 · Episode 15 · Line 35300
