Quote from Kevin

Oscar: Kevin and I play this paper football game when Michael's out.

Kevin: We're bored a lot.

Quote from Kevin

Jim: I really love the "paper triangle flicking and hitting things" game.
Kevin: Yeah. We call it "Hate Ball."
Jim: Why?
Kevin: Because of how much Angela hates it.
Jim: Hey, do you guys have any other games?
Kevin: Sometimes we play "who can put the most M&M's in their mouth."
Angela: You play that.

Quote from Michael Scott

Dwight K. Schrute: This is smaller than your old place.
Michael Scott: Yes, well, I'm buying it. I'm not renting it. So, it's still an upgrade. He doesn't know anything about property ownership. He's kind of an idiot.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Carole: Are we ready to sign some papers?
Dwight K. Schrute: Actually, no, we have a couple of questions. About the neighborhood.
Bill: It's very safe. It's very clean. Also, it's very accepting of all lifestyles.
Carole: It's a very gay-friendly neighborhood.
Michael Scott: Oh, good, that's good. It's good to be accommodating of that.
Dwight K. Schrute: Let's go check out the master bedroom.

Quote from Pam

Jim: Okay, we will be competing for gold, silver and bronze yogurt lids.
Pam: Now, the bronze are really blue and they're also the backside of the gold, so no flipping. Okay, honor system.

Quote from Angela

Angela: I do play games. I sing and I dangle things in front of my cats. I play lots of games, just not at work.

Quote from Jim

Jim: You have what is the national sport of Icelandic paper companies. And I'm blanking on the name. Could you help me out, Pam?
Pam: Jim, they refer to it as "Flonkerton." In English, "box-of-paper snowshoe racing."
Jim: Fair enough, but I like Flonkerton.

Quote from Pam

Pam: The thing about Jim is when he's excited about something, like the Office Olympics, he gets really into it and he does a really great job. But the problem with Jim is that he works here, so that hardly ever happens.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: The ceilings are lower than they were last week. That I don't-
Carole: What?
Michael Scott: I don't know if you showed me the same unit or not.
Carole: Michael, this is the unit you saw.
Michael Scott: And where are all the hot people? I was told that there would be all these attractive singles.
Carole: Who told you that?
Michael Scott: And as far as I can tell, I'm the best-Iooking person here.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: There's a basic principle in real estate, that you should never be the best-Iooking person in the development. It's just sort of common sense. Because if you are, then you've no place to go but down.
