On Halloween, Michael is upset when he learns Darryl went behind his back to suggest an idea to corporate, while the office makes a big deal about Danny's former relationship with Pam.

Quote from Angela

Pam: Angela as the nurse!
[aside to camera:]
Angela: I don't like your tone! Look, they were sold out of all the other costumes, okay? I think we all live in the real world, here. Let's not pretend to be unaware of what sells in this office.

Quote from Erin

Erin: Dunder Mifflin, this is Erin! Happy Halloween! How can I haunt you today?

Quote from Oscar

Oscar: Everyone realizes that this coupon book isn't actually worth fifteen thousand dollars, right? You'd have to spend two hundred thousand dollars on crap you don't actually need to get fifteen thousand dollars worth of benefits. I'm not the only one who sees this, right?
Toby: No.
Ryan: No.
Kelly: I get that. I get that.

Quote from Kevin

Kevin: I am never gonna forget what Danny did to Pam. I forget nothing. I'm like an elephant in that way.

Quote from Kevin

Michael Scott: Oh my God! Okay. All right. All right. You know what? That's inappropriate, Kevin. I am your boss, and if you have something to say, it goes through me, and then I take it to Gabe. Chain of command. Do you understand?
Kevin: I am so sorry.
Michael Scott: Oh, you're sorry?
Kevin: I just thought-
Michael Scott: What did you just thought?
Kevin: Well, Gabe asked me if there were any really cool Lady Gaga moves that he could do for the catwalk. And so then I tol-[tries not to cry]
Michael Scott: All right.
Kevin: I told him that there was this one cool move where she powers down like a robot.
Michael Scott: Okay.
Kevin: Okay? But I- I am so sorry that I didn't tell you first.
Michael Scott: Well, don't let it happen again.
Kevin: [hysterical] You think that I would let this happen again?! No way, Jose! [bleep] you, Gabe!

Quote from Kelly

Kelly: Could you for once just let us enjoy a party instead of making it about all your issues?

Quote from Oscar

Oscar: I present to you the [air quotes] "rational consumer", as it were.

Quote from Jim

Jim: To be honest, I still can't believe he didn't call her back. Who doesn't call a dork like that back?

Quote from Oscar

Pam: Okay, everyone, I've tallied the votes, and the winner of the costume celebration spectacular and the Scranton Wilkes-Barre coupon book, Oscar Martinez.
[later, individually to camera:]
Kelly: If I have to vote for someone, I don't want it to be someone who can beat me.
Ryan: Shake things up. I'm a Nader guy.
Creed: Best Edward James Olmos costume I've ever seen. Like, freaky good.

Quote from Andy

Darryl: Sometimes it seems like it was better down in the warehouse, you know?
Andy: When I was a freshman in college, I worked at the student newspaper, the Cornell Daily Sun? This was at Cornell. I had to write an op-ed column every day. "Bernard's Regards."
Darryl: This was your freshman year.
Andy: I started to ask myself, "Do I have big plans here?" I didn't want to become editor of that paper, so I got up and walked right out of Walter Bernard hall, and that's actually when I heard eight male voices, singing, unencumbered by instruments. I was hooked. So is becoming CEO of this company your a capella group? Come on, we're going to Danny's bar, Public School.
