Episode Quotes
 
Michael: Attention please. Jan Levinson's coming very soon and so we're going to have our weekly suggestion box meeting. So you can get in your constructive compliments ASAP.
Ryan: Don't you mean constructive criticisms?
Michael: What'd I say?
Kelly: You said constructive compliments. That doesn't make any sense.
Michael: Well, Kelly, that was neither constructive nor a compliment, so you don't you stop criticizing my English and start making some suggestions?
 
Dwight: I even come in on holidays.
Michael: You do? How do you get in?
Dwight: I have a copy of your key.
Jan: That's a serious offense.
Michael: That is a serious offense. Very serious. As is toying with a man's heart.
 
Pam: Last year, my performance review started with Michael asking me what my hopes and dreams were, and it ended with him telling me he could bench-press 190 pounds, so I don't really know what to expect.
 
Dwight: Do you even know what this is? It is a fitness orb, and it has completely changed my life. Forget everything you thought you knew about ab workouts.
Jim: Done.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Dwight: And in conclusion, I think Lex Luthor said it best when he said, 'Dad, you have no idea what I'm capable of.'

Dwight is referring to a scene from the show, Smallville.
 
Pam: (to Jim) Did you watch The Apprentice last night?

The Apprentice is an NBC reality series, featuring Donald Trump searching for high-level employees to work for him.
