Quotes 

• Michael Scott : Great practical joke, Jim. Got me to go to the annex.

  [as Michael turns around, Toby appears. Michael stares at him in disbelief] 

  Toby Flenderson : Hi, Mic...

  Michael Scott : [screams]  NO! GOD! NO, GOD, PLEASE, NO! NO! NO! NOOOOO!

• Michael Scott : Is there no way we can get rid of him?

  David Wallace : [over the phone]  Not without cause, Michael.

  Michael Scott : I have cause. It is because I hate him.

• Michael Scott : It just seems awfully mean. But sometimes, the ends justify the mean.

• Michael Scott : I tried. I tried. I tried to talk to Toby and be his friend, but that is like trying to be friends with an evil snail. I feel like I'm dying inside. I feel like Neve Campbell in "Scream 2." She thinks she can go off to college and be happy. And then, the murderer comes back and starts killing off all of her friends. Learned a lot of lessons from that movie. This is just one of them.

• Michael Scott : I've never framed a man before. Have you?

  Dwight Schrute : No, I've framed animals before. I framed a raccoon for opening a Christmas present. And I framed a bear for eating out of the garbage.

• Dwight Schrute : There's still one thing we can do to get Toby fired.

  Michael Scott : What's that?

  [Dwight closes the office door] 

  Dwight Schrute : Frame him for using drugs.

  Michael Scott : Frame him?

  Dwight Schrute : Yeah. It's illegal, but, everything they do on "The Shield" is illegal.

• Dwight Schrute : Okay, let's get this started.

  [stands up and loosens tie] 

  Michael Scott : What are you doing?

  Dwight Schrute : I am the bait.

  [takes off his glasses] 

  Michael Scott : For what?

  Dwight Schrute : Men find me desirable.

  Michael Scott : No, no, no.

  Dwight Schrute : It's a good day, too. I'm wearing my mustard shirt.

  Michael Scott : You're the bait for Toby? No. For one thing, he's not gay. And if somebody were to be bait, it would be Jim or Ryan or me.

  Dwight Schrute : Men find me desirable.

  Michael Scott : Yes. Sure they do, Dwight.

• Michael Scott : What I would like you to do is take this folded note and deliver it to Toby Flenderson. I want you to just react to whatever this note elicits. Do not read it beforehand! Can you do that for me?

  Pam Beesly : Sure.

  Michael Scott : Good!

  [Pam opens the note] 

  Michael Scott : No no no no, don't...

  Pam Beesly : Please hug and kiss me, no matter how hard I struggle. I am too shy to tell you that I love you.

  Michael Scott : [grabs the note]  Dammit, Pam. You gave me your word.
