StanleyIt's like I used to tell my wife: I do not apologize unless I think I'm wrong. And if you don't like it you can leave. And I say the same thing to my current wife and I'll say it to my next one, too.

StanleyIt's like I used to tell my wife: I do not apologize unless I think I'm wrong. And if you don't like it you can leave. And I say the same thing to my current wife and I'll say it to my next one, too.
StanleyI do not like pregnant women in my workspace. They always complain. I have varicose veins, too. I have swollen ankles. I'm constantly hungry. Do you think my nipples don't get sore, too? Do you think I don't need to know the fastest way to the hospital?
StanleyDid I want to come back? No, but I don't have enough money to retire and I'm too old to get another job. I feel like I'm working in my casket.
StanleyYes, I have a dream, and it's not some MLK dream for equality. I want to own a decommissioned lighthouse. And I want to live at the top. And nobody knows I live there. And there's a button that I can press and launch that lighthouse into space.
StanleyI have been trying to get on jury duty every single year since I was 18-years old. To get to sit in an air conditioned room, downtown, judging people while my lunch was paid for? That is the life!
StanleyI worked for the last boss for 15 years. According to my doctor, I don't have another 15 years if I want to keep up the same dietary and sexual lifestyle. Which I intend to.
Everyone, this is my boyfriend Bob.
Kevin Malone.

[pause]
What line of work you in, Bob?
Stanley[after Kelly tells him about Ryan talking to Stanley's daughter] That little girl is a child. I don't wanna see you sniffing around her anymore this afternoon. Do you understand?
Yes s-
StanleyBoy, have you lost your mind, 'cause I'll help you find it! Whatcha lookin' for? Ain't nobody gonna help you out there! Jesus is gonna come through that door and he's not gonna help you if you don't stop sniffing after my child!
Okay.
[cuts to Ryan in an interview]
Stanley yelled at me today. That was one of the most frightening experiences of my life.
I'd like everybody's attention. Christmas is cancelled.
StanleyYou can't cancel a holiday.
Keep it up, Stanley, and you'll lose New Year's.
StanleyWhat's that mean?
Jim, take New Year's away from Stanley.
Today, we are not just spending a day at the beach.
StanleyOh sweet mother of God.
If you don't like it, Stanley, you can go to the back of the bus.
StanleyExcuse me.
Or the front of the bus. Or drive the bus.
Don't you want to earn Schrute bucks?
StanleyNo. In fact, I'll give you a billion Stanley nickels if you never talk to me again.
What's the ratio of Stanley nickels to Schrute bucks?
StanleyThe same as the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have some bad news. Meredith was hit by a car.
WHERE!!?
WHEN!!?
It happened this morning in the parking lot. I took her to the hospital and the doctors tried to save her life. They did the best they could and she is going to be okay.
StanleyWHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!?
StanleyFind anything?
I think it's a straight-forward kidnapping.
Stanley, could you look up "accomplices"?
StanleyCan't you guys do it?
'Cause we're looking up "jail time".
Good news.
StanleyWe get to go home?
Guess who just ordered from your favorite pizza place, Alfredo?
[Everyone voices their approval]
Wait. Alfredo's Pizza Café? Or Pizza by Alfredo?
Same thing.
[Everyone grumbles in disagreement]
You know what? I don't understand when you all talk at the same time.
Oscar, talk to him.
Michael, there's a very big difference between these two pizza places. Both in quality of ingredients, and overall taste. Which one did you order from?
Pizza by Alfredo.
[Everyone groans]
Okay, okay, what's better? A medium amount of good pizza? Or all-you-can-eat of pretty good pizza?
Medium amount of good pizza.
[cut to Kevin in interview]
Oh no, it's bad. It's real bad. It's like eating a hot circle of garbage.
Can anyone think of examples of things that are over-the-line time wasters?
StanleyThis meeting.
