Quotes 

  • Michael Scott : There are four kinds of business: tourism, food service, railroads, and sales.

    [pause] 

    Michael Scott : And hospitals/manufacturing. And air travel.

  • Michael Scott : A boss is like a teacher. And I am like the cool teacher. Like Mr. Handell. Mr. Handell would hang out with us, and he would tell us awesome jokes. And he actually hooked up with one of the students, and then, like, 12 other kids came forward. It was in all the papers. Really ruined eighth grade for us.

  • Business School Student : How far has your Herfindahl Index declined since the merger?

    Michael Scott : Nice try. How's your Polack-says-what Index?

    Business School Student : What?

    Michael Scott : Thanks, Kowalski.

  • Michael Scott : Yeah, sure. You know business. Sitting up here in your ivory tower

    [gestures toward the black professor] 

    Michael Scott : and your ebony tower. Well, you know what? I tell you one thing: Dunder Mifflin is here to stay.

    Business School Student : But how can you compete against a company with the resources of a nationwide chain?

    Michael Scott : David will always beat Goliath.

    Business School Student : But there's five Goliaths. There's Staples, OfficeMax...

    Michael Scott : Yeah, yeah. You know what else is facing five Goliaths? America: Al-Qaeda. Global warming. Sex predators. Mercury poisoning.

  • Michael Scott : What is the most inspiring thing I ever said to you?

    Dwight Schrute : "Don't be an idiot." Changed my life.

  • Business School Student : What do you say to a customer who wants to leave you for the convenience and savings of a nationwide chain?

    Michael Scott : I say, "You will miss our service, and I absolutely guarantee you'll come back."

    Business School Student : Has anyone ever come back?

    Michael Scott : [pause]  We don't want them back. They're stupid.

  • Ryan Howard : Look, I'm sorry, okay? I was just trying to do my presentation. And of course I was wrong to suggest that Dunder Mifflin might ever go out of business. But you don't have to fire me.

    Michael Scott : Fire you? No, no, no. You are moving to the annex.

    Ryan Howard : To the annex? Where Kelly is?

    Michael Scott : A good manager doesn't fire people. He hires people and inspires people. People, Ryan. And people will never go out of business.
