‘Lotto’

Season 8, Episode 3 -  Aired October 6, 2011

After the warehouse guys win the Lotto, Andy struggles to get Darryl to hire a replacement crew. Meanwhile, Jim, Dwight, Erin and Kevin try their hand at warehouse work.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Jim: There's gotta be a better way to do this. This is literally how they built the pyramids.
Dwight K. Schrute: Well, they whipped people, which was helpful. But you're right. We should be able to find a more efficient way of moving boxes than Madge or Hide
Jim: Yeah [laughs, then notices camera] Not that they're not smart people.
Dwight K. Schrute: No, no. Very smart. Uh, theirs is more of a physical intelligence.
Jim: I'd go with that.
Dwight K. Schrute: Like baboons or elephants.
Jim: Not that.

Quote from Andy

Andy: So Darryl says to me "fire me", but what he really means is, "I'm gonna say something really weird, try to figure out what it means." So I say, "No, you're not fired." But what I really mean is, "I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm gonna go ahead and hire some people for the warehouse and hope that you eventually start feeling better." I really hope that's what he and I mean.

Quote from Andy

Darryl: Would you just fire me, man?
Andy: Why? Because you didn't win the lottery? How am I supposed to make you happy?
Darryl: You wanna make me happy? Huh?
Andy: Yeah.
Darryl: Give me your job.
Andy: Haha, what?
Darryl: I'll do it better than you. I earned it. I deserve it. I got passed over, God knows why. Reasons I cannot and will not understand. The job was mine Andy. Everyone said it was mine. Make me manager or fire me.
Andy: I'm not gonna give you my job. It's my job! I earned it! And here's the thing, you weren't even next in line. I asked about you, I saw your file. You have a history of being short with people and you hired Glenn, your buddy, to replace you in the warehouse. He was under qualified. They saw that.
Nate: Also, Darryl, FYI, I already told this to Andy, but uh, you should probably know I technically don't have a hearing problem, it's just when there's a lot of noises...
Andy: Nate! Please....thank you. [to Darryl] You have no business education, you were gonna take classes under Deangelo, what happened to that?
Darryl: He died.
Andy: He didn't die, his brain died. And my brain is still very much alive and I'd be happy to give you business classes. How come you haven't asked me about it?

Quote from Oscar

Oscar: Can you believe this?
Erin: There's a dog in the car.
Oscar: You can't leave a dog in a parked car. Snowboarder, it figures.
Jim: Do Snowboarders hate animals?
Oscar: I bet this guy didn't leave his weed in the car.

Quote from Darryl

Dwight K. Schrute: Okay, you know what? I'm gonna give him something to drink. Come here, doggy. Come on.
Jim: Dwight! At least aim it.
Dwight K. Schrute: There you go! Here doggy! He's not even trying. Come here doggy, come on.
Andy: We're losing cloud cover.
Kelly: Oh, don't try to get in on it now, Michael Vick.
Darryl: Hey, hey, hey. Vick did his time.

Quote from Darryl

Darryl: [answering phone] Hello? ... Justine! [laughs] Nice surprise! How you doin' baby? Nah. No, no, I didn't win. When I got promoted I stop- What? Yeah. Yeah, Glenn won. Oh, you wanna call him? Yeah, you should call him. Congratulate him, that'll be- What? Oh, his number's in your old phone. Oh, you know what? I might have it right- [hangs up] Whoops.

Quote from Jim

Jim: I mean, I don't even know what I'd do with all that money.
Dwight K. Schrute: I know what you'd do with all that money. [imitating Jim] "Hey Pam, let's buy expensive bathrobes and hug."
Jim: No, I'd probably buy a big piece of land in Maine, build a house, work in town. Somewhere I could bike to or kayak to. I'd either bike to my job at the kayak shop or kayak to my job at the bike shop.
Pam: And then on the weekends, would you hacky sack back to reality and spend time with your wife and kids?
Jim: Whoa. Saucy. I thought you liked Maine?

Quote from Pam

Pam: I think we should get a townhouse in SoHo...
Ryan: SoHo's mostly lofts, but okay.
Pam: And then every morning, I'd walk out on to my terrace and I would breathe in the inspiration of the city. You know? And just gather ideas for my painting...
Kelly: Oh, god.
Pam: And then my handsome husband-
Jim: Which ideally would be me.
Pam: Would bring me a flavored coffee.
Jim: Stop. I'm a barista in your fantasy?
Pam: Well, in your fantasy we're Stephen King characters.
Jim: I don't know about Stephen King, I mean...

Quote from Andy

Andy: Are you kidding me?! Guys, if I have to ask you to get back to work one more time, I'm gonna change my tone. [lowers voice] To down here like Mr. T. and this will get seriously annoying. I feel sympathy for the jerks who have to listen to this all day. [normal voice] Darryl, how we doin' on the new warehouse guys?

Quote from Oscar

Andy: Alright, well until we have a new crew, let's get some volunteers for warehouse duty. Who's in?
Erin: As long as you guys don't need me up here.
Phyllis: No, we don't
Dwight K. Schrute: I think we'll be fine.
Oscar: Really, nobody's gonna help her? Is chivalry dead?
Andy: Are you volunteering?
Oscar: Of course. I would. But my hip... I would kill to be at a hundred percent.
