Darryl
What's wrong with a level playing field?
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38514
-
Michael
Do you think they should have had open auditions for the band Hanson? What if no one named Hanson showed up? That wouldn't even make sense. Or what if they just hired the littlest kid and a 50-year-old guy who was a murderer? Really safe.
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38515

Jim
Oh, man, so many points being made.
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38516
-
Creed
I couldn't care less about nepotism. But, I'm loving the debate. Great minds battling it out. And I've got a front row seat.
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38517

God, when he needed help on Earth, who did he hire? Jesus Christ, his son.

-
Michael
No! No. I'm just saying, why does God get to do something that I don't?
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38522

Oscar
This is hypothetical. We're talking about Luke who happens to be terrible.
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38523
-
Michael
Well, then, why aren't you bugging me to fire everybody who's bad? You just want me to fire Luke. That's reverse nepotism. He should not be punished because he is related to me and bad at what he does!
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38524

Kelly
I would just like to say something off of what Darryl said about the level playing field. That is actually a zoning issue. So, thank you.

If there's nothing wrong with this, Michael, why have you been keeping it a secret?
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38526
-
Michael
Because I wanted you to come to me and say, 'Wow, he is so great.' And I was gonna say, 'Well, it's in the genes.' And I was actually gonna be wearing jeans. And I'd point to them, right? No. But you ruined it. So, thank you very much. Here he comes. Guys, look. I don't want you to treat him like anyone else in the office. I just want you to treat him like my nephew. Hey, there he is.

Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38542
-
Jim
Yep. That's exactly what my first thought was. And then I remembered having a conversation with him where he was like, 'I don't own an Ebay store,' so...
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38543

Michael
Ok, ok. You know what? This is disgusting. This is like a witch hunt. This is like the Blair Witch Hunt project.

No, I know they fit. It's not about the fit.
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38557
-
Jo Bennett
Why is this my problem, Michael?
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38558
-
Michael
Because Gabe tattled. I was perfectly happy to just hide it from you.
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38559
-
Gabe
Those overnight packages needed to go out, and Michael refuses to hold the guilty party accountable.

If you keep him, Michael, I'm gonna hold you accountable for him. You're on the hook for this kid. You got that? Cover his ass like tighty-whities.
Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38569

Season 7 · Episode 1 · Quote 38571
-
Michael
Luke and I have been working side-by-side as master and commander. Me as master, he as commander. Occasionally he will need a little push, and I will do that, and he'll slow down, and I'll push him again. That's the thing with kids, you have to keep pushing. You have to push them until they push you back. And then you push some more. It's all about give and take, but mostly it's about pushing each other.
