This Television Episode refers to Born on the Fourth of July
After burning his foot on his George Foreman Grill, Michael calls a meeting to talk about people with disabilities. He invites Billy Merchant, a man in a wheelchair, to come speak to the office. Michael is disappointed that Billy is able to manuever so well in his wheelchair, and states that he expected Billy to be more like the guy from the movie 'Born on the Fourth of July'.
In the episode, Michael accidentally burns his foot on a grill, but insists coming to work anyway. When none of his employees, except for Dwight, help him, Michael feels under-appreciated. Meanwhile, Dwight starts acting strangely nice to everyone, especially Pam.
