Jim: Well, I'm going to the outlet mall on Saturday, so if you wanna save big on brand names, and Roy has to work, which he will, because I'm also competitive, you should feel free to come along.
Pam: Um, I think I'm gonna be up at the lake.
Jim: I think I'll see you at the mall.

Quote from Michael Scott

Jim: I'll do it. Wear a little flouncey skirt if you want.
Michael Scott: Yeah, and I bet you would. Just try not to be too gay on the court. And by gay I mean, um, you know, not in a homosexual way at all. I mean the uh, you know, like the bad-at-sports way. I think that goes without saying.

Quote from Michael Scott

Pam: Maybe Angela would cheerlead.
Michael Scott: Yeah, right.
