I actually made a signature (never posted) from this quote - except the last line was slightly different ("the brains are where ladies get their best nasty ideas for bedroom stuff").

Valentine's Day?

So it wasn't a deleted scene?
Which quote is correct?
I guess I'll have to watch this episode when Wedd gives us the answer.

OK. I cheated (sort of). Because I couldn't remember for sure I just watched. It's a deleted scene from Valentine's Day.

And here's the sig I made way back when....with the quote as it was heard on the deleted scene

Yes, sammy is right, it was from Valentine's Day. And Office Quotes does have it a little differently--I always copy what the calendar says!

BMAC, you are right--they do save the problems for the weekend!! Also, I would like to state again that I always look the quotes up on Office Quotes!

Thanks for keeping this going Wedd! It tests my memory (although I'm still afraid I'd fail SB's "Flan" standards - or maybe we should call it Flandards)

!! Yeah, I started reading that thread and I was like, no way can I do any of this--I'm not reading this anymore!! It makes me feel bad about myself!

Jan 11:

Movie Monday started with training videos, but we went through those pretty fast. Then we watched a medical video. Since then, it's been half hour installments of various movies, with the exception of an episode of Entourage, which Michael made us watch six times.--Pam

The Coup?

^^^Yes!

Feb 12:

Jan is... professional, which is a metaphor for cold. We make a good team, like lenny and Squiggy. Except I'm like Lenny and Squiggy, and she's like a stone.--Michael

Little help?

Not a clue - and I finally tried to look it up this morning. Got two hits - and both of them seemed to be quoting the calendar

We'll probably have to file this one in "Unknown Ep".

Edit: Oops! Jinx

Happy Valentine's Day!!!


Yesterday quote was Valentine's Day, as is today's:

Feb 14:

I actually like Valentine's Day in this office.... It's kind of like grade school--people hand out little presents and stuff. Like last year, Jim gave me a card that had Dwight's head on it--it was horrifying and funny.--Pam

Feb 15:

Can I have everyone's attention please? I just wanted to say that the women in this office are terrible. Especially the ones who wrote that stuff in the bathroom about Michael. Having a bathroom is a privilege. It's a ladies' room . And if you can't act like ladies, then maybe you won't have a bathroom.--Dwight

The Dundies

I'm wondering if this wasn't an alternate version of the following quote from The Client?

Jan Levinson-Gould. Jan is cold. If she was sitting across from you on a train and she wasn't moving, you might think she was dead.

Right!!

Could be, but where did they get it from?

Beats me. But, I can tell you that I've spoken on the phone with some people closely connected to the show and they are not as up on all the quotes as most of us Flans. I've had to explain things like "Borientation" and "Movie Mondays" much to my astonishment.

Feb 16/17:

I didn't go to formal business school, that is true. But in a way, I went to the best business school of all: Tony Robbins' Three-Day Personal Power seminar. Did you know, Tony Robbins' watch costs more than I make in a year?--Michael

Here we go again . My quick searched pick up nothing. I am thinking The Fire and Business School, though there was a Tony Robbins reference in Booze Cruise. Guys, help me again!!!

it may be a variation of the scene where Michael talks about going to the free seminar at the airport?

sorry, I can't remember what episode that was in.

Booze Cruise


Michael: I am a great motivational speaker. I attended a Tony Robbins event by the airport last year, and... it wasn't the actual course. You have to pay for the actual course. But it talked about the actual course. And I've incorporated a lot of his ideas into my own course.

that's it! I always find that line so funny. Because it says so much, indirectly. You start wondering what "ideas" he incorporated, if he only heard the pitch for the course, not the course itself. So he probably gleaned gems like: be successful, get results, earn respect of your coworkers, get things done more efficiently. Not details or how to. Just a list of things everyone wants to do.

And The Fire was when he found out Ryan started business school and he was talking about how he didn't need it. So I'm kind of confused as to which episode this may have been from.

And don't forget - it's Tony Robbins who was the big proponent of corporate fire walking events.

So this is another weekend when we don't have any idea where the quote is from?!

they actually do those in real life?


I vote we take up a collection for Wedd to attend the next convention - with a list of unknown quotes to interrogate the writers about.

Here's an article.

I'm scared to go to the convention with all of those hard core fans--I'll get eaten alive.

I have decided that I am counting this quote as from The Fire, since he says, "I didn't go to formal business school, that is true". It sounds like it fits into that episode perfectly.

The people I respect--heroes of mine would be Bob Hope, um, Abraham Lincoln, definitely, Bono. And probably God would be the fourth one. And I just think all those people really helped the world in so many ways that it's really beyond words. It's really incalculable.--Michael

Another one from The Pilot?

Yes--I think maybe they only own one episode!!!

yeah! thanks for that one.
I love "incalculable", but I never could remember how he used it.
probably because that whole quote is funny, even without that word.

Feb 19:

If I changed the life of one person...just one person...well, okay, one is aiming pretty low. Let's say I change the lives of five thousand people...ten thousand...okay, five thousand, I'd be satisified for starts....Michael

Wedd, I am at a complete loss on that one. I guess I'll be cheating and looking it up now...

no idea, really, but 3 guesses for out-take/deleted scene:

Dwight's Speech

Safety Training

Fun Run

Office Quotes(link to the episode) has it worded a little differently, but it is from The Fire.

Wow, by the time this year is over, we'll be able to string these quotes together and have the entire transcript!




Boys and Girls?

^^^Yes!

Toby is in HR which means he technically works for Corporate. So he's not really a part of our family. Also, he's divorced so he's really not part of his family.--Michael

Oh, Michael, why do you torture Toby so?

I'm thinking this is in response to the announcement that Toby will be running the Sexual Harassment training? So, my guess is Sexual Harassment.

There are several ways you can tell if a perp is lying. The liar will avoid eye contact. The liar will cover part of the face with his or her hands, especially the mouth. The liar will perspire. Unfortunately, I spoke to Oscar over the phone, so none of that is useful.--Dwight

I've been Michael's number two guy for about five years. We make a great team. Michael is like Mozart. And I'm like Mozart's friend. No. I'm like Butch Cassidy, and Michael's like Mozart. You try to hurt Mozart and you're going to get a bullet in your head. Courtesy of Butch Cassidy.--Dwight
