Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: What the hell's going on here?!
Dwight K. Schrute: Nothing you need to know the details of.
Michael Scott: There is a raccoon in the car, Dwight!
Dwight K. Schrute: No, there's not.
Michael Scott: Why did you do that?
Dwight K. Schrute: It was playful hazing.
Michael Scott: No, there's no such thing as playful hazing. Dwight, I want you to look at Holly now. Everybody, I want you to look at Holly right now. And maybe if you look at her deeply enough, you'll see what I see in her. And that is that we are all very lucky to have her here. Holly is the best thing that has happened to this company since World War II. Fifty years! She is the best. Take care of that, all right?

Quote from Michael Scott

Toby: Wow. Thanks, Michael. I didn't expect-
Michael Scott: Can I just say that of all the idiots in all the idiot villages in all the idiot worlds, you stand alone, my friend.

Quote from Holly

Michael Scott: So are you in town this weekend? 'Cause I'm not- I'm not- I'm not gonna be in town. I'm going out of town.
Holly: Oh. So you can't make my orgy? Kidding.
Michael Scott: Kidding. Acting!
Holly: Acting!
Michael Scott: Acting!
Holly: Lovitz.
Michael Scott: Yeah.

Quote from Holly

Holly: Cool. You drive your own car?
Kevin: Yup, this is my car. Do you drive your own car?
Holly: Yep, just like you.
Kevin: Okay, bye.
Holly: Bye. Kevin, I'm really proud of you.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Today is Toby Flenderson's last day. I couldn't sleep last night. I came in extra early. So much energy. There are certain days that you know you'll remember the rest of your life. And I just have a feeling that today is one of those days.

Quote from Holly

Michael Scott: Kevin. [answering cell phone] Kevin, where are you? You missed my song, buddy.
Kevin: Yeah, Michael, I'm at Gerrity's. You have to come down here.
Michael Scott: Just pay for it and we'll reimburse you when you get back.
Kevin: No, I brought my money. There's something that you need to see.
Michael Scott: What is it?
Kevin: Just hurry. [Michael hangs up]
Holly: Is he okay?
Michael Scott: Yeah, he's at the supermarket. He needs me.
Holly: Well, the party, driving to the supermarket. It was a big day for him.
Michael Scott: Yeah, that's true.

Quote from Jim

Michael Scott: This thing with Holly feels a lot like love to me.
Jim: And that's really sweet. And you can think that, but you don't say that out loud. And you definitely don't say it to her.
Michael Scott: I don't want her to get away.
Jim: I know. Here, Michael, you can court her as you get to know her, you know? I mean, the office is a great place for that. Pam and I, we got to know each other right out there. I mean, first time we joked around was at my desk. And the first meal we ever had was in the break room, actually. We were at two separate tables and I remember that. The first time we kissed even was right outside, and... Look, all I'm saying is that you can get to know someone really, really well, like I did. Right here at work.

Quote from Andy

Andy: Tuna! I'm engaged!
Jim: I know. That's awesome, man. That's great.
Andy: Mr. Andrew Bernard. It's got a nice ring to it.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: First thing on the agenda. Actually, the only thing on the agenda is that status of Toby's going away party.
Angela: We have a buttercream cake and a slide show of Toby. But so far we only have two pictures of him.
Michael Scott: Okay, well, this will not do. Toby is going away forever, and we need to do something very, very special. In some cultures, when somebody leaves, like New Orleans culture, they have a parade, and they have a band. And people party in the streets.
Pam: Do you mean leaves as in dies? You want us to throw Toby a New Orleans funeral?
