Oscar: I can play basketball if you need any help.
Michael: I will use your talents come baseball season, my friend. Or if we box.

Michael: OK. Why don't we just defer to Mr...
Mr. Brown: Mr. Brown.
Michael: Ah. Oh, right! OK. First test. I will not call you that.
Mr. Brown: Well, it's my name. It's not a test. OK?

"Michael why don't just have me ride in on a donkey?"
"Ah yes! a burro!"

"si, si senor"
"That's offensive."
"No it's not offensive in a roast!"

"More money more problems stanley. You of all people should know that." Probably my favorite one.

Your gayness does not define you. Your Mexican-ness is what defines you to me.

I love when he finds out that one of his new workers from Stamford that Josh hired is a convict, and it turns out to be the black guy.

"Why did the convict have to be a black guy? It is such a stereotype. I just wish Josh had made a more progressive choice...like a white guy...who went to prison for...polluting a black guy's lake."

Michael: is there a term besides "mexican" that your prefer? Something less offensive?
Oscar: How is it offensive?
Michael: Well.... I... it has certain connotations..
Oscar: What would those be?

I always though Dwight's secret Nazi leanings were funny. Aside from his comments about his German heritage & relatives who fought in WWII for Germany, he really fits the bill. He talked about how he had an "axis" instead of an alliance. He talks about his superior genes. He's a fan of authority. He also ends up marrying the blonde woman.

quote:

Toby: Apparently you called Oscar "faggie" for liking the movie Shakespeare in Love more than an action movie.
Michael: It wasn't just an action movie, it was Die Hard!
Toby: All right Michael, but Oscar's really gay.
Michael: Exactly!
Toby: I mean for real.
Michael: Yeah, I know.
Toby: No, I mean he's attracted to other men.
Michael: OK, a little too far, crossed the line.


quote:

Michael: I would have never called him that if I knew. You don't... You don't call retarded people "retards". It's bad taste. You call your friends "retards" when they're acting retarded. And I consider Oscar a friend.

Michael picking the bball team:



Michael: OK, so, let's put together a starting line-up, shall we? Stanley of course.
Stanley: I'm sorry?
Michael: Um, what do you play? Center?
Stanley: Why "of course"?
Michael: Uh...
Stanley: What's that supposed to mean?
Michael: Uh, I don't know. I don't remember saying that.
Jim: Uh, I heard it.
Michael: Well, people hear a lot of things, man. Um... other starters... Me, of course. I heard it that time.

At the First Dundies after Michael says they’ll be separate checks:

Stanley: I thought you said we could bring our families?
Michael: I did and why didn’t you Stanley?
Stanley: I did. My wife’s name is Teri.
Michael: Well I’m looking forward to meeting Teri
Stanley: it’s this persons hand I’m holding Michael...
(Raises his white wife’s hand)
