Episode Quotes
 
Pam: (Michael arrives dressed as Willy Wonka) Good morning, Michael.
Michael: Oh, no no no no. I am not Michael. I am Willy Wonka!
Pam: Good morning, Mr. Wonka. Here are your messages.
 
Michael: Hey. Hey. Hey. You idiot.
Darryl: Start over.
 
Pam: When Michael's skirting a phone call, he gave me a list of places to say he is: Stopping a fight in the parking lot... An Obama fashion show... whatever that is. Or... trapped in an oil painting. I'm gonna save that one.
 
Stanley: I've got a golden ticket idea. Why don't you skip on up to the roof and jump off?
Michael: That is not constructive.
 
Michael: Okay, you know what? You came up with this idea. I remember you told me that you loved the Willy Wonka movie when you were growing up.
Dwight: Impossible.
Michael: Yes, you did.
Dwight: I wasn't given candy as a child, so a movie that fetishized it that much, would have made no sense to me. Plus, we weren't allowed to see movies. So... do the math.
 
Michael: I have an idea for a fancy men's shoe store called 'Shoe La La.' And it's just men's shoes for the special occasions in a man's life, like the day that you get married, or the day your wife has a baby... or for just lounging around the house.
 
Creed: Good work, kid!
Dwight: Thanks, old man.
 
Michael: I have a lot of toilet ideas.
Dwight: That's because they're easy!
Michael: They're not easy. Everybody has to go to the bathroom.
 
Kevin: I think you have the best smile. I'd like to take you out to dinner and a movie.
Lynn: Okay.
Kevin: Nice... boobs.
