Quote from Jo

Jo: Hey, all! Cornelius, Bobo, have at it. Nobody let my dogs hump each other. They don't seem to know they're brothers.
Dwight K. Schrute: Hello, Jo. Welcome. Well, shall we begin?
Jo: Slow yourself down there. Just like a man. Wants to jump right into it while I still got my socks on.

Quote from Erin

Erin: I'm taking a break from dating. Gabe was a great guy with so many wonderful qualities, but it was a challenge being touched by him.

Quote from Creed

Kevin: No food now? Someone has to do something about Dwight!
Creed: He put some snacks in the freezer for us.

Quote from Jo

Dwight K. Schrute: I take full responsibility.
Jo: Who else would be responsible?
Dwight K. Schrute: Pam made me put a banana in my holster.
Pam: You shot a gun off!
Dwight K. Schrute: Okay. Did I make a mistake? Yes. Do I regret the decision that I made? Yes.
Jo: Oh, stop asking yourself easy questions so you can look like a genius.
Dwight K. Schrute: Got it.
Jo: I love you, Dwight. But you don't fit this job.
Dwight K. Schrute: [on the verge of tears] Jo, please... I will -
Jo: No, child. No. It's over. Now I gotta find a replacement for my replacement.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Pam: We could get Deangelo flowers.
Dwight K. Schrute: No, you can't get flowers for someone who's in a coma. They'll wilt before he wakes up.
Phyllis: Yeah, that's true.
Jim: All in favor of the baskets full of chocolates, teddy bears, and balloons?
Dwight K. Schrute: Wait, wait. All in favor of the knapsack filled with canned goods, chainsaw, gasoline, and emergency radio in case he wakes up post-apocalypse?
Jim: Nope. Baskets have it.

Quote from Jim

Jim: [on the phone] Well, I really appreciate the offer, but I'm just happy the way things are. Okay. Thank you. [to Pam] That was Jo, asking me if I wanted to take over as acting manager while they find a replacement. I told her... I don't want to mess this up, right? There's a consensus, people are happy.
Dwight K. Schrute: [answering phone] Dwight Schrute. Yes, I would. Thank you. [hangs up] Jordan, gather my things from my desk. [Dwight walks to the manager's office, rubs the door frame, sits at the desk reverently]
Jim: Wait...
Pam: What have you done?

All but Oscar: ...under God...
All: ...indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Angela: Amen.
Dwight K. Schrute: Excellent. Morning announcements: There's been a problem with some people sharing copier codes. Your copier code is a distinct 21-digit number that is unique to you, and you only, okay? Don't share it. Jo Bennett, our CEO, will be here today for a high-level meeting involving Gabe and myself.
Erin: Ooh, about what?
Dwight K. Schrute: That's on a need-to-know basis.

Dwight K. Schrute: [surprising Kelly] Aha!
Kelly: Oh my God, what is wrong with you?
Dwight K. Schrute: Gotcha! Why are you late?
