* 'Broke' is a huge one for Michael. His paper business is flat broke and Dunder-Miflin is offering to buy him out. He rejects their first offer of $12000 and delivers this amazing [[BadassBoast]]
--->'''Michael''':I'll see your situation and I'll raise you a situation. Your company is losing clients left and right. You have a stockholder meeting coming up and you're going to have to explain to them why your most profitable branch is bleeding. So they may be looking for a little change in the CFO. So I don't think I need to wait out Dunder Mifflin. I think I just have to wait out you.

* Andy gets another one in "Lotto", when Darryl confronts him with his belief that he was unfairly passed over for the Regional Manager position and that he should have it over Andy. Andy swiftly dismantles his argument with a low-grade TheReasonYouSuckSpeech pointing out that Darryl was not the shoo-in for the position that he thought he was. Doubles as a minor moment of heartwarming when you remember that Andy knew all of that because he went out of his way to ask about Darryl beforehand, most likely due to being concerned about that very thing himself.

* In "Did I Stutter?", Michael is in denial that Stanley undermined him by refusing to listen to him during a meeting and being unapologetic about it, then when he orders everyone out of the room to talk to Stanley alone, he turns into a pathetic "Why don't you like me?" mess, which gives Stanley an opportunity to deliver a long-gestating TheReasonYouSuck speech about Michael's bumbling boss ways. But Michael is not a BunnyEarsLawyer without reason; just when that looks like that will break Michael, he instead takes the words to heart, sacks up, looks at Stanley, and firmly tells him Stanley while he respects his opinion, he cannot talk to his superior that way under any circumstances. Stanley respects the authoritative order and gives a half-hearted yet appreciated token effort to involve himself at the next meeting.
* In "Broke", The Michael Scott Paper Company (Michael, Pam, and Ryan) is out of money due to offering such low prices to undercut Dunder-Mifflin that turning a profit is impossible. However, their tactics have caused Dunder-Mifflin to lose customers to the MSPC, forcing David Wallace to offer a buyout as DM can't afford a money loss either. As the show goes to break before the final-act negotiation, Ryan and Pam beg Michael not to do his usual backfiring methods, which seems to [[TemptingFate suggest that Michael will indeed flub this as he flubs most meetings of this nature up to this point.]] However, Michael doesn't step wrong once in one of the best displays of BunnyEarsLawyer moments ever. While Wallace and Charles Miner try to lay out how bleak the MSPC's financial future is, Michael stands his ground and plays the same game, noting that it looks much worse for the duo if they lost what's left of DM to a fired manager and two meager salespeople. The result? Michael gets their jobs back, and in turn, Pam goes from receptionist to sales member. After Wallace finally concedes and leaves the room, all three of them are in disbelief that Michael pulled it off.
-->'''Michael (after David lays out that MSPC is in trouble)''': I'll see your situation and I'll raise you a situation. Your company is losing clients left and right. You have a stockholder meeting coming up and you're going to have to explain to them why your most profitable branch is bleeding. So they may be looking for a little change in the CFO. So I don't think I need to wait out Dunder Mifflin. I think I just have to wait out you.
