In honor of this Labor Day holiday, I'm challenging you guys to a quiz featuring the bumbling paper company managers of "The Office" — both the U.K. version featuring Ricky Gervais and the American version with Steve Carell. Let's see how well you've been paying attention when you've spent your off hours with these office mates.

For each question, I'll present you with a quote, and you'll decide whether it was David Brent (Gervais) who said it, or good ol' Michael Scott (Carell). So, do you think you have the smarts to be an assistant to the regional manager, or might you be called an "ignorant slut"? Let's find out...

"The Office" Recap: Episode 17, "Business School"

This week's heartwarming episode of "The Office" was about the enduring power of paper.

This week's heartwarming episode of "The Office" was about the enduring power of paper. (And, since it was directed by "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon, it also involved a bat.) Michael gives a speech at Ryan's business school, emphasizing how important paper is, though he later asserts that people are more important. I definitely cried a little during Michael's scene with Pam. To relive some of the best moment's from "Business School," read on...

  • Dwight: "Whenever I’m about to do something, I think, would an idiot do that? And if they would, I do not do that thing."
  • Michael: "Campus. Brings back so many memories that I …would have made.”

    Spotting a group of Frisbee players, Michael says to Ryan: “What do you say we get our Fris on before class?”

  • Michael asks Ryan if, at the end of his lecture, the students will throw their hats, like at graduations.

    Michael: "If they did throw their hats, I had a pretty good line for them. 'May your hats fly as high as your dreams.' That was a pretty good line."
    Ryan: "It doesn’t apply.”
    Michael: "I understand! Wow, relax, spazzy boy. Sometimes you’re such a spaz!" Then he tickles Ryan.

  • When the bat comes out of the ceiling, Angela stops, drops and rolls.
  • “If a vampire bat were going to come to America, it makes sense that it would come to a ‘sylvania,’ like Penn-sylvania.” –Dwight
