Morty: I had a feeling you wanted to see me.
Michael Newman: I'm freakin' out. This thing - this thing - it's broken. It-it's just - it's fast forwarding on its own now.
Morty: It's not a malfunction it's a feature. It's using it's memory to execute your preferences.
Michael Newman: It *remember's* stuff about me? What do you mean?
Morty: It's an advance piece of equipment like TiVo.
[Smiles]
Morty: You could call it MeVo.
Michael Newman: I fast forwarded through sex one time. I don't wanna skip it forever; I like sex. I-um-i-it-it feels good.
Morty: Correct me if I'm wrong, but you fast forwarded through an entire *year*. That's a lot of sex. Put it all together, it's like... thirty minute's worth for you.
Michael Newman: Oh, no, no. So what? Everything I fast forwarded it-it's just gonna do it on its own now?
Morty: Pretty much. No more showering. No more traffic. No more arguing. No more sickness.

Morty: Check it out. You hit the fast-forward button. I believe we're sometime after your conception.
Michael Newman: [voice echoes] No! We're in my mother's vagina?
-
Michael Newman: I was looking at our proposal. You know what? After getting to know you a little bit, I realize this is not what you're all about. In fact, let's just throw it out, all right. The river in the lobby idea, what an egghead move. Let's just keep all the plans simple, forget all the niceties, and maximize our revenue. That's what its all about anyways, the profits. But do me a favor. Just give us your account and your trust. That way we can get the hell out of this dump, go to a T.G.I. Friday's, and do some Jell-O shots 'til this guy pukes up a lung.
Ancient Executive: Fuck yeah!

Ammer: Your first day as a partner, you come to work in a fricking bathrobe.
Michael Newman: I - I did. I did. I - John, I just feel would should stop on wasting our energy on corporate brown nosing, and worrying who's got the better suit. Armani, Calvin Klein. Who cares? Let's concentrate on what really matters. The work.

Michael Newman: Ah, so THIS is where the quarter trick started.
Morty: [watches Ted bite the quarter in half and then spit it whole again, amazed] How did he do that?
Michael Newman: It's a trick coin you buy in a magic shop, I just couldn't ever let him know I knew that.
-
Morty: Something stinks like stale French fries.
Michael Newman: Oh yeah, that's probably me.
Morty: You know, fast food *shortens* your life.
Michael Newman: That's what they tell me, but the way my life's going right now, that wouldn't be so bad.

Donna Newman: He's not, he's just doing whatever Michael does. It's driving him nuts.
Trudy: What Michael's been doing lately is very unhealthy, he's going to kill himself!
-
Michael Newman: Donna, I'm not out there drinking or gambling or hitting on chicks, I'm working my ass off so that my family can have a better life than I ever dreamed of having when I was a kid. And the only way for that to happen is for me to watch the freaking show! So relax, hon!
-
Michael Newman: [after rewinding to his first kiss with Donna] Linger by the Cranberries was the song playing during our first kiss, and you looked so hot in that pink sweater.
Donna Newman: Michael! You remember what I was wearing?
Michael Newman: Yeah, I remember what Janine was wearing, she scared the shit out of me then!

Donna Newman: Don't get mad at Peanut just because he found your Twinkie stash.
Michael Newman: Who's Peanut? Where's Sundance?
Donna Newman: [whispers] Don't mention Sundance! The kids just stopped crying.
Michael Newman: About what? Why? What happened?
[Donna looks at him confused, then Michael realizes that Sundance has died]
Michael Newman: He died?
[starts to cry]
Michael Newman: Oh no, no, oh no, the stupid idiot and soft fur.
Donna Newman: [to the kids] Daddy held it in so long.
Michael Newman: He was the best dog!
Donna Newman: And now he's letting himself feel it.
Michael Newman: [crying] One night when the duck's head was off, he tried to hump my leg, and I didn't let him, and I should've! And I'm sorry! What an idiot.
Donna Newman: It's okay.

[In the far future, Michael is confronted with kids that don't respect him anymore, a wife that has moved on without him and the breaking point - the treehouse that he had started building for the kids years ago remains unfinished]
Michael Newman: No. No. Ten years, you're not finished yet?
[screaming into the heavens]
Michael Newman: Morty! Why did you do this to me?
Morty: [suddenly appearing] You did this to yourself, Michael.
Michael Newman: No. No, I didn't wanna waste all that time. I didn't wanna lose Donna!
Morty: The remote goes by your behavior. Every time there was a conflict between work and home, work won!
Michael Newman: No, not true!
Morty: Lie to your wife! Lie to yourself. But you cannot lie to the remote. The remote is lie-proof, so you can't change what already happened. But you're still a young man. A young, fat man. You could win Donna back.
Michael Newman: So that's what I'll do.
Morty: Go for it, tubbs.
