When Dwight is talking to Angela about getting the best Valentine's Day present ever, the scene was cut when the camera angle changes. At one point Dwight was looking at a paper from a folder, holding it just outside of the folder with his right hand. The shot cuts to another angle and Dwight's hand is to his side and the paper is in the folder.
At the end of the deleted scenes for this episode Michael is chased down the street by Devin, who was fired by Michael in the episode "Halloween".
According to the DVD commentary, the boardroom scene in which Craig blows the whistle on Michael and Jan's hook-up, and Michael stays silent, is likely the only scene in the series so far in which Michael keeps his mouth shut the entire time.
When Jim is about to leave at the end of the day he is talking to Pam. From one angle Jim is holding his bag in his hand, but when the camera cuts to the next angle where Jim is leaving, he has the bag over his shoulder.
Michael: I would love to live in New York some day. It's a big dream of mine. Work corporate with Jan. It would be awesome. Go to Broadway shows, eat hot dogs. Scranton is great, but New York is like Scranton on acid. No, on speed. No, on steroids.
Michael: All right, Dwight, as you know I'm heading to New York today, doing a presentation on the branch to the new CFO. Dwight: And you want me to come with you. Michael: No. The opposite of that.
Michael: This is a business trip. I would have to be a raving lunatic to try to talk to Jan about what happened between us. Her words, not mine. She sent me an email this morning. But, it is Valentine's Day. It's New York. City of Love.
Michael: I love ladies. Always have. And you know what I think is the most attractive part of a woman's body? The brains. Because I don't think a woman is beautiful unless she is smart. And also, the brains are where ladies get their best nasty ideas for bedroom stuff.
(Roy enters and approaches reception) Roy: Hey, babe. You uh...almost ready to go? Pam: I guess. Roy: What's wrong? Pam: Nothing. It's just, I had to sit here all day while Phyllis had, like, an entire garden delivered to her. Roy: What, you're mad at me? Pam: I mean, I know we said, "no big gifts," but I was kind of hoping you'd get me something for Valentine's Day. Roy: Well, Valentine's Day isn't over. Let's get you home, and you are going to get the best sex of your life. (Pam looks exasperated, while Roy smiles and nods with wide-eyes)
(Jim and Kelly are in the break room talking about Kelly's recent hook-up with Ryan) Kelly: I don't know what he's thinking, but I would be just so psyched if we dated forever. Jim: I'd take it slow, 'cause it seems like a lot of the time, things like that need- (Ryan enters) Ryan: (points at the machine) Soda. Kelly: Cool...Hey, so, do you want to do something tonight, or... Jim: (Looking away from Kelly and to his Cooler Ranch Dorito) Oh... no. Not while I'm here...
Dwight: Pam. Hi. How ya doin'? Good. Listen, uh, may I speak with you...privately? Pam: You can't fire me, Dwight, just 'cause Michael's not here. Dwight: No, Pam, just-um... Just! (he points to the conference room with his head) (In the conference room) Pam: You need to get something for your... Together: Girlfriend. Dwight: Yes. She's kind of... Pam: Tightly wound? Dwight: Exactly. Pam: You know, sometimes the gift is more about the gesture. Like, what it means, not what it is. Dwight: Like a ham? Pam: No...not like a ham.
Dwight: Question, will you be seeing Jan while you are in New York? Michael: I probably will, why do you ask? Dwight: Well, it's Valentines Day and you guys, you know… Michael: …you know… Dwight: Screwed. Michael: What is your problem!
Delivery Man: (carrying a life-sized stuffed bear) Phyllis Lapin? Pam: Holy God... Delivery Man: It's from Bob. Kevin: Man, that thing's bigger than I am. Delivery Man: No, it's not. Kevin: Oh, zip it.
Michael: Everybody takes the subway in New York. It's fast, it's efficient, gets you there on time, it's a way to...ok. There's a guy pooping in a cardboard box down there.
Michael (in Times Square): Most people, when they come to New York, they go straight to the Empire State Building. That's pretty touristy. I come here.
Jim: So I broke up with Katie, and I haven't been dating anybody else so this year I don't have to worry about Valentine's Day. It's gonna be good. I invited a couple friends over. We're gonna play some cards. And I'll end up winning a lot of money because...they're idiots. It's gonna be great.
Oscar: The best present would be you do a good job in front of the new CFO. Michael: Dude...I'm gonna nail it. Me in New York? Oh, I own that city. Fuggetaboutit!
Michael Life is just a little bit slower here in Scranton, Pennsylvania, which is how we like it. 'Cause here at Dunder Mifflin, Scranton, we're not just in the paper business, we're in the people business.
Michael: New York, New York. The city so nice they named it twice... "Manhattan" is the other name.
The French episode title is "La Saint-Valentin". The Italian title is "Buon San valentino", meaning "Happy Valentine's Day". The Spanish title is "Valentine's Day".
According to writer Greg Daniels, he included the scene in which Michael mistakenly believes that he's spotted Tina Fey in front of Rockefeller Center because when he was working at SNL, he found that every brown haired woman wearing glasses walking in front of Rockefeller Center was mistaken for Tina Fey. Interestingly enough, he said, whenever he and the real Tina Fey went for coffee, no one recognized her.
According to the DVD commentary, Conan O'Brien and Greg Daniels are longtime friends who went to college and moved out to L.A. together. John Krasinski, Angela Kinsey, and Mindy Kaling were all interns on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Conan also makes a cameo in this episode.
The corporate offices of Dunder Mifflin Inc. are really some of the offices within NBC. They have been dressed up to look bad, and have been given the DM logo for detail.
The music playing in Michael's "The Faces of Scranton" video is "With or Without You" by U2.
Michael: Fuggetaboutit! A quick nod to the HBO show "The Sopranos". Which shows Michael's stupidity, since it takes place mostly in New Jersey.
At the end of Michael's film, there's a title card that says "A Michael Scott Joint". This is a reference to Spike Lee, who labels all of his films "A Spike Lee Joint".
