‘Couples Discount’

Season 9, Episode 15 -  Aired February 7, 2013

On Valentine's Day, the Dunder Mifflin staff visit the local mall to get a couples' discount at a nail salon. Andy is not in anybody's good-book when he returns from his three month trip. Meanwhile, Jim and Pam have lunch with Brian, the documentary sound guy who defender her.

Quote from Jim

Pam: Okay, I can tell you're mad at me. Do you wanna just, um, I don't know, tell me why?
Jim: I don't know. I thought that was a little weird. You told me Brian got fired for the whole warehouse thing. And you intentionally left out a kind of major, intimate detail. I don't know, Pam, I guess I just feel like a chump. Who knows less about his marriage than the sound guy.
Pam: I didn't tell you about the crying because I didn't want you to know how upset I was. Because it would've stressed you out and you're always saying how much you don't want more stress.
Jim: Yeah, well. Yeah, okay. Well, then thank you. Thanks to both of you.
Pam: It's not Brian's fault.
Jim: No, you're right. And, and I'm not mad at Brian. And to be honest, I probably don't have any reason to be mad at all because I wasn't there. So, let's just forget about it.
Pam: Okay.

Quote from Erin

Erin: Fish sounds great.
Andy: Yeah, I guess.
Erin: Really playing the scales, huh?

Quote from Andy

Erin: I don't love you anymore.
Andy: What?
Erin: I still like you, but you were gone a really long time. And, you didn't really email me all that much. You retweeted me, a lot to be fair. But I don't love you.
Andy: Okay, I get it. You're unhappy. I've been gone a long time and we lost a little bit of juju. But, you and me, we have a future. There is a lot of love here.
Erin: I just said there isn't love.
Andy: On your side. But there's tons on my side. It's gushing. We're just out of sync right now. But that's just timing, it's timing. I mean, my parents lasted 38, 40 years. They were never happy at the same time.
Erin: I guess.
Andy: I mean, what do we have left? 35, maybe 40 years? If we're lucky. I mean, I have spent a lot of time in the sun.
Erin: You got really sunburned.
Andy: I'm gonna be a prune in like, 3 years.
Erin: Ugh.
Andy: I know you may not be feeling love for me right now but, if you fake it, I won't be able to tell the difference. So, I'll feel good. And then, eventually, maybe, you'll actually start to love me again.
Erin: You really think we can get that back?
Andy: Yes. [hugs Erin] Come on. Totally.

Quote from Pam

Pam: I don't think you should go to Philly tonight. I think that you should stay and I think we should fight.
Jim: You really wanna fight on Valentine's Day?
Pam: Yeah, I do.
Jim: Okay. All right, put your dukes up, Beesly.

Quote from Erin

Erin: [storms into Andy's office] We're breaking up! And just so you know, I was worried that you were dead. You were gone for three months. [walks out]
David: [on the phone] Hey, Andy. It's David. Still here. What was that about three months?
