"And as i turned to leave, i looked back and i said," ""You have no idea how high i can fly."" "You didn't tell him how sick of him you were?" "Why would i do that?" "Well, wouldn't it feel good to tell him that he's incompetent." "That he's wasted 15 years of your life." "Maybe spit in his face." "You guys have thought about this a lot more than i have." "I just winged it." "I love a good quitting story." "It makes me feel like i have control over my own life." "Gives me hope." "Maybe i'll have one of my own someday." "But i dream."

"At my level, you don't just look in the want ads for a job." "You are headhunted." "Have you called any headhunters?" "Any good headhunter knows that i am available." "Any really good headhunter will storm your village" "At sunset with overwhelming force" "And cut off your head with a ceremonial knife." "Right, 'cause that's what we're talking about." "I need you to go over these client lists and indicate any wrong or false data." "Your "i need you to" is my command." "Okay." " Hey, michael." " Hey." "Can i talk to you for a minute?"

"Sometimes." "Then come back soon." "During the course of business," "A copier goes through something called "normal wear and tear."" "I think it's 75 cents." "That's a lot." "Bandit, no." "No, no, no." "Yesterday they delivered the new one." "But they didn't set it up." "So my day just got a little more interesting." "Thank you."

"So how do i do that?" "Well, um, you can scan it." "And then you can upload the image," " And then you can copy a new image" " Could i take a piece of paper" "And just tape it with transparent tape?" "Yeah." "Good." " Oh, thank you very much." " Mm-Hmm." "So that is why i have to leave at 5:00 on tuesdays." "It's to pick up my little sisters from school." "We're really tight." "We're like the kardashians."

"I am at a crucial point" "Where i have sunk four hours into that copier." "And i am not gonna let it beat me like that wireless router did." " You put a note in my food?" " I made it sterile." "Just to say "sterile" doesn't make it so." "I am offering you" "The opportunity of a lifetime, oscar, to come work for me." "Do you have a business plan?" "A funding request?" " Market research?" "Financials?" " No." " You need those things." " No." "No!" "Most new businesses," "They don't make a profit till at least two years." "And then your margins will be razor-Thin." "Best-Case scenario," "You don't cut yourself a salary for at least five years." "Can you go five years without a salary, michael?" " Okay." " Five years?" "Hey." "You already have the job." "You don't have to convince me." "It's just not prudent, michael." "Stanley." "Can't you see i'm urinating?" "Listen, listen." "Stanley, you don't need to answer me now." "No." "Just" " I want you to think about it." " I am starting my own company." " No." "Okay, you're not letting me finish," "And you just lost out on $1 million." "No, i didn't." "You know what?" "I had a great time at prom." "And no one said "yes" to that, either." "How's it working?" "Um, let's see." "It's fine." "I did it." "I learned everything about this machine." "I know all the buttons, even the inside ones." "I know all the error messages." "I could do a bound book" "In plastic with offset colors." "Which feels..." "Hey, hank." "You ready?" " Yeah." " Okay." " Michael." " Hmm?" "I can't pretend i haven't seen that." "So i'm gonna ask you to stand up, walk out," "And you can't take anything." "Okay." "I have immunity." "It's my two weeks" "Not if you're starting a competing paper company, michael." "Hank." "Okay, michael." "Hank?" "You really think hank is going to be loyal to you?" "Hank, please escort charles from the building." "Come on, man, let's" " Let's go." "I always thought michael got a bad rap." "He's a good guy," "And he's super funny." "Yeah, maybe i should tell him before he goes." "He's all the way over there." "Well, here we are." " I would just like to" " No, no, no, no." "You're done, michael." "All right, then, everybody." "I'm out of here." "What is he doing?" "It looks like he's saying something." "I think he's singing." "I can't believe this is really happening." "And i feel free." "And just like that," "As mysteriously as he arrived," "He was gone." "The whole office feels darker." "You know?" "It's just a sad, dark day." " Andy, he's gone." " I know." "You don't have to kiss his ass anymore." "Michael's like a movie on a plane." "You know, it's not great, but it's something to watch." "And then when it's over, you're like," ""How much time is left on this flight?" "Now what?"" " Michael." " Shh, shh, shh." "Don't look down." "Look straight up." " Are those" " All right, come on." "Ow!" " Please." " These are for employees only." "Angela, kevin, help me out." "I just need a few things." "Then i'll be gone." "Michael, why is it that you asked everyone Except me, angela, creed, and meredith?" "I was going to." "I wanted to, but i had to start somewhere." "And you didn't want to start with us?" "No, of course not." "But now i want everybody." "Jim!" "Did you have time to think about my offer?" "I did have a chance to think about it," "But then i thought about something else." "So which way are you leaning?" "Well, it is tempting, but i am 100% leaning towards passing." "Thanks, jim." "Hey, did anyone see the client list" "That michael was supposed to be working on?" "No." "Okay." "Let me know if you find it." "Okay." "Listen." "Okay." "Okay." "We don't have much time." "Just act normal." "Don't look at me, people." "Stop." "Don't look down." "Don't look down." "He's gonna see me." "Not all the way up." "Keep 'em at a normal height, okay?" "Hey, this is not michael scott talking right now." "This is your future." "Hello." "I am your future." "You are older and you are very happy now" "Because you went with michael scott, right?" "So everybody, come on down," "And let's just crawl out of here together." "All right?" "Come on." "Are you" " Are you doing your best here?" "Are you being the best that you can be?" "All right." "Everybody who's gonna go with me," "I want you to stomp your foot." "Okay." "All right." "Come on." "Come on." "You're coming with me." "Come on, phyllis." "Here we go." "Here we go." " Michael, get up." " Oh, god." "Okay." "All right, all right." "Time to go." "Time to go." "Jim, let's go." " Come on." "Come on!" " Michael, what are you doing?" "I think maybe hank should be here." "Hank?" "No, i don't need hank, michael." "You're gonna mess with me?" "Is that what you're gonna do?" "I'll tell you something, charles." "I don't even care, because i've got nothing to lose." " Okay." " Oh, my god." "Oh, god!" "No!" "No." "All right." "It's not worth it." " Oh, no." " What?" "I'm going with him." "What?" " Pam." " I'm going." "Pam, you can't be serious." "Michael, wait!" "I'm coming with you." "You are?" "Yeah." "Okay." "It's gonna be great." "Great." "Uh, except i" "I don't want to be a receptionist anymore." "Right." "Executive assistant." "Salesman." "All right." " Okay." "Deal." " Deal." "Okay." " Well, jim?" " Still no." " Okay." " Yeah." "Well, let's go." "Oh, all my stuff is still upstairs." "Are people watching?" "Probably." "Michael, it's not how you leave an office." " It's how you" " Jim, jim." "Jim." "We're having a company meeting here." "I will bring all your stuff home." " Okay." " All right." " Well, see ya later." " Bye." "See ya later." "So we had a personnel change today." "Shouldn't affect our day-To-Day," "But until we get a new receptionist," "I want kevin on the phones." "Phones." "Also, there's been too much wasting time." " So stanley." " Yes?" "Yeah, i want you on top of that, okay?" "I want you to be my productivity czar." "Okay?" "Good." "Um, okay, that's it on my list" "So, uh, you know, no excuses, guys." "Let's get going, okay?"
