Quotes 

• Karen Filippelli : What you're saying is extremely misogynistic.

  Michael Scott : Yes. Thank you. That was not necessary, but I appreciated it. And it proves my point. Women can do anything.

  Karen Filippelli : I'm saying that you're being sexist.

  Michael Scott : No. I'm being misogynistic. That is insane. I am not being sexist.

  Karen Filippelli : That's the same thing.

  Phyllis Lapin : Michael.

  Michael Scott : Yes.

  Phyllis Lapin : When I got my hair cut short, you asked me if I was a lesbian.

  Michael Scott : Because... That was one possible explanation as to why you got that haircut.

  Angela : And when we get mad, you always ask us if we're on our periods.

  Michael Scott : I have to know whether you're serious or not.

• Karen Filippelli : Hey, did you guys see this memo that Dwight sent out? "Women will be sent home if they wear makeup or heels exceeding one-quarter inch. Females are not allowed to speak to strangers unless given written authorization by Dwight Schrute." This is ridiculous.

  Dwight Schrute : Attention. I am removing all bananas from the kitchen.

  Karen Filippelli : Dwight, this memo that you distributed is insulting.

  Dwight Schrute : Desperate times call for desperate measures.

• Michael Scott : [Michael has just finished writing a pros and cons list about Jan]  Done.

  Pam Beesley : Read the pros first.

  Michael Scott : Ok, Jan is smart, uh, successful, good clothes, hot, perfect skin, nice butt.

  Phyllis Lapin : She does have very nice clothes.

  Karen Filippelli : Ok, ok, uhm... cons.

  Michael Scott : Cons: wears too much make up; breasts, not anything to write home about, insecure about body, I'm unhappy when I'm with her, flat-chested...

  Pam Beesley : What was the last one?

  Michael Scott : She's totally flat, shrunken chesticles.

  Phyllis Lapin : No, the one before that.

  Michael Scott : I'm unhappy when I'm with her.

  Pam Beesley : [pause]  Michael, you shouldn't be with someone who doesn't make you happy.

  Michael Scott : I'm happy sometimes. Uhm... when we scrapbook or right towards the end of having sex.

  Karen Filippelli : Look, most relationships have their rough patches, you just have to push through it sometimes.

  Michael Scott : Man, that's smart.

  Pam Beesley : Maybe. But it sounds like you're just wrong for each other.

  Michael Scott : That sounds good too.

  [Pam and Karen look at each other, and the latter acts uncomfortable] 

  Michael Scott : I don't know who's right. I just, I don't know. I don't know.

  Phyllis Lapin : I bet you know, don't think, just answer, what you wanna do about Jan?

  Michael Scott : I wanna break up with Jan.

  [Realizes his answer] 

  Michael Scott : Wow! I wanna break up with Jan.

  Phyllis Lapin : [Everybody smiles]  My mom taught me that.

• Pam Beesly : Michael, you shouldn't do anything that you're uncomfortable with.

  Michael Scott : Jan says anything that doesn't scare us is not worth doing.

  [pause] 

  Michael Scott : I don't know, maybe we're different people, I like cuddling and spooning and she likes videotaping us during sex.

  Pam Beesly : Oh my God.

  Michael Scott : Argh... and then watching it back right afterwards to improve my form.

  Karen Filippelli : That is not healthy behaviour.

  Michael Scott : No, it's not that bad. The worst part is that she shows it to her therapist and they discuss it.

  Pam Beesly : Michael, you need to get out of this.

  Michael Scott : No, she's just fooling around. It's a woman thing.

  Pam Beesly : No, normal women don't do stuff like that. This is bad.

  [There's a short pause and then Michael starts crying] 

• Michael Scott : Jan has this schoolgirl fantasy.

  Karen Filippelli : It's a pretty common one.

  Michael Scott : I just - I feel uncomfortable wearing the dress.
