- [Pam, Ryan, and Michael enter the office]
- Michael Scott: Michael Scott Paper Company to see Mr. David Wallace. I believe we're expected.
- [David and Charles step out of the conference room]
- Michael Scott: Well, well, well. How the turntables...
- [long silence]
- Michael Scott: If tomorrow my company goes under, I will just start another paper company, and then another and another and another. I have no shortage of company names.
- David Wallace: Michael...
- Michael Scott: That's one of 'em. Yes. These are our demands. This is what we want. Our balls are in your court.
- Ryan Howard: Ever since I've gotten clean, there's something about fresh morning air that just really makes me sick.
- Dwight Schrute: I say we fill Michael's office with bees. My apiarist owes me a favor.
- [David sighs]
- Jim Halpert: Really? Does he do good work or...
- Dwight Schrute: [scoffs] No, Jim, I use a bad apiarist.
- Dwight Schrute: Oh, man! If only Michael had children. That's how you really apply the pressure.
- Charles Miner: [sighing] What is wrong with you?
- [over David, Jim, and Charles deliberating]
- Dwight Schrute: Hey, let me float something out there, okay? Can I just say... Can I say something? There is a hive of bees outside the front door. We kidnap the queen, extract her alarm pheromones, place them on a flushable wipe, and put that in his bathroom.
- [telling Jim a case he's solved]
- Dwight Schrute: Okay, one, Case of the Beet Bandit. Missing beets from all over the farm, no footprints. Inside job, Mose in socks. Boom, case closed.
- [first lines]
- Michael Scott: It's 4:30 in the morning. Do you know where your kids are? If you are Ryan's parents or Pam's parents or my parents, you do. They're going to be in this van, with me. Who am I? Nothing to fear. I am just a 44-year-old guy with a paper route.
