Episode Quotes

	Season 1 / Episode 4: - Training David Brent: We're both good in our own fields. I'm sure Texas couldn't run and manage a successful paper merchants. I couldn't do what-, well, I could do what they do, and I think they knew that, even back then. Probably what spurred them on.
	Season 1 / Episode 4: - Training Rowan: I'm gonna play a very bad hotel manager who just doesn't care, and... David Brent: Sorry, if it's a Basil Fawlty type character, well, er, maybe I should do it, just for the comedy. Rowan: Let me play it, just to kick things off. David Brent: Yeah, well I'll probably bring something to this role anyway.
