‘Lice’

Season 9, Episode 10 -  Aired January 10, 2013

Pam lets Meredith take the fall when there's an outbreak of lice at the office. Meanwhile, Jim is in Philadelphia for his new job, and Darryl breaks up with Val.

Quote from Pam

Erin: Morning, Meredith.
Pam: What?
Erin: Oh, sorry, Pam. Yikes.
[aside to camera:]
Pam: Jim's been spending a few days a week in Philly and I'm not gonna lie, it's been challenging. Yesterday, things took a turn for the worse. I found out Cece has lice. So I was up all night disinfecting every sheet, towel, toy, item of clothing in the entire house. I'm exhausted. But don't tell Jim. He has a huge meeting today, under a lot of pressure and he's doing it all for the family.

Quote from Jim

Jim: I am meeting Dr. J today, otherwise known as Julius Irving, famed 76er and my own personal hero. But i have to be careful not to rub it in Pam's face because let's be honest, how would I feel if I was at home stuck with the kids while she was go carting with John Stamos.

Quote from Pam

Pam: Hey, Meredith, I need your supplier requests today.
Meredith: Jeez H. in the morning. Will you stop your nagging already? No wonder Jim left you.
Pam: He didn't leave me. He just went part time. [Meredith scratches her head vigorously] Can you just fill out the form please?
Meredith: Yes.
[aside to camera:]
Pam: I'm sure she's just confused. People scratch their heads when they're confused. Not always like an ape, the way Meredith just did, but it happens.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight K. Schrute: Make way, nope, inspect me.
Erin: Oh, this is the cleanest scalp I've ever seen. You are all clear.
Dwight K. Schrute: Should be. I use lice shampoo every morning. [starts spraying everyone with disinfectant]

Quote from Angela

Angela: Geez, Meredith, you know, this is an office not one of your bean bag orgies.

Quote from Oscar

Oscar: I wash my hands at least six times a day. Toilet seat covers? Yes, thank you, even when I pee. Apparently, none of that is protection enough. Not when it comes to Meredith.

Quote from Meredith

Pam: Hey, Meredith, I need to tell you something.
Meredith: [shaving her head] Yes, Pam what do you want?
Pam: Oh my God! Meredith, what are you doing!?
Meredith: Baking a cake. What does it look like I'm doing? Getting rid of the lice.
Pam: Oh, stop! I am so sorry!
Meredith: Oh, can you hold that thought? That's my wax. You know, I think these critters migrated from down south. What were you saying?

Quote from Erin

Erin: Okay, nobody panic. If everybody just follows my instructions, then nobody else needs to end up bald. Not that it looks bad, Meredith. It looks... It looks awesome. You look like a baby who suddenly aged 50 years. A cute baby, but something sucked the life force out of it. I'm so sorry. We need mayonnaise! We need it now.

Quote from Creed

Pam: Hey, Creed, wanna be my buddy?
Creed: Oh God. Stuck with the weirdo.

Quote from Kevin

Val: Thank you all for your concern, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave, okay?
Kevin: So does this mean you're gonna take Darryl back?
Val: No.
Kevin: Well, then, what do you say to you and me hitting the town? 'Cause I'm free, literally forever.
[aside to camera:]
Val: Yeah, Kevin asked me out. I was kinda feeling good about reentering the dating pool, but then Kevin asked me out. Thought I might trade up to a new level of man. Then Kevin asked me out.
