‘Blood Drive’

Season 5, Episode 18 -  Aired March 5, 2009

On Valentine's Day, Michael decides to throw a lonely hearts party at the office after a chance encounter with a woman at the blood drive. Meanwhile, Jim and Pam go out for lunch with Phyllis and Bob Vance.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Just about everyone in this office is single right now. Including me. And everyone is experiencing an incredible amount of emotional pain. Especially me, because of my great capacity for emotion. And it is my first Valentine's Day since Holly, so I think that I am well qualified to understand that these people need to be protected from having love shoved into their faces.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Yes, um, Jim. Today is a very difficult day for a lot of people in this office.
Jim: Oh, I'm sorry.
Michael Scott: Yeah. And the sexy looks between you and Pam, the general sexiness, the flowers, it's creating a bit of a hostile work environment.
Jim: I understand that.
Dwight K. Schrute: So sexy it becomes hostile.
Michael Scott: Mm-hmm.
Jim: Uh, I actually thought we were keeping it pretty low-key.
Michael Scott: Well, if you guys insist on having your own private little love fest-
Jim: We do.
Michael Scott: -that none of us can be a part of-
Pam: You can't be a part of our relationship, Michael.
Michael Scott: -then, we, are gonna have our own private Valentine's Day party.

Quote from Pam

Phyllis: Hey, why don't you guys come have lunch with Bob and me? We'll take all afternoon. [whispering] Michael is terrified of bob.
Pam: What do you think?
Jim: I have a lot of work to do this afternoon. Those mines aren't gonna sweep themselves.
Pam: We're in.

Quote from Phyllis

Bob Vance: Everyone here who's bowled a 280 please raise your hand. [Bob raises his hand]
Jim: No way, a 280?
Pam: Wow, that's impressive.
Phyllis: Okay. Now everyone here who's bowled under 70 raise their hand.
Jim: Yikes.
Phyllis: Come on, Bob. Raise your hand. [Bob reluctantly raises his hand]
Jim: No. Bob, no. No!
Pam: What?
Bob Vance: One time. You love bringing up that one time, don't you?
Phyllis: Yes, I do.

Quote from Jim

Pam: Jim uses a 6 pound ball.
Jim: That is a lie. That is a lie.
Pam: Yes, he bowled 5 frames with this pink sparkly thing until a little girl had to ask for her ball back.
Jim: But! That girl must've had monstrous hands because the holes fit.
Pam: No, you just have little dainty fingers.
Bob Vance: Oh, yeah. You can always model ladies' jewelry.
Jim: Nobody asked, Bob! [laughing]

Quote from Kevin

Kevin: My worst breakup was with Stacy. It was a Sunday morning, we were reading the paper, and I said, "Oh my God, I think the Eagles could clinch the NFC East!", and she said that we're done.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight K. Schrute: I can untie any knot. I'm serious. Name a knot, any knot. Go ahead.
Woman: I- I- believe you.
Dwight K. Schrute: You shouldn't believe everything you hear. In fact, there are many knots that I cannot untie. So where does a woman as charming as yourself find herself employed on a day such as today.
Woman: Um, I work at a place that does catalogs for community colleges and small businesses.
Dwight K. Schrute: You must use a lot of paper.
Woman: Oh God, tons of it .

Quote from Jim

Pam: What's the rule about eating when people are in the bathroom?
Jim: I think if you ordered hot food you're allowed to eat.
Pam: Oh, damn. [Pam looks down at her salad] They've been in there for like ten minutes.
Jim: Look at that. Bob ordered hot food.
Pam: Yes. And I think they gave him too many fries.
Jim: We should help him out. [Jim and Pam both take a French fry from Bob's plate]

Quote from Kevin

Kevin: At the Circle Drive-In they show old movies. It's really cool.
Lynn: That does sound cool.
Kevin: I used to go there with my fiance. Before she left me. No, I mean, before I left her. She left me.
[aside to camera:]
Kevin: I think I blew it. It all happened so fast. So... fast.
