Quote from Andy

Woman: Can I take your picture?
Andy: I guess it's starting. Um, yeah. Of course. Yeah sure. Tell you what. I'll put my arm around you and then I can take it-
Woman: We just need a picture of the top of your head in case we burn some of your hair off.
Andy: Got it.
Woman: No, if you could just keep it down until..
Andy: Sorry.

Quote from Kevin

Dwight K. Schrute: Hey, that is a really nice plane. You make that yourself?
Kevin: Uh-huh.
Dwight K. Schrute: Well, what am I thinking? Of course you made that yourself. Cause it's in the rules that you have to fold your own plane.
Kevin: Of course.
Nellie: Kevin, did you make that yourself?
Kevin: Yes. In a way. From one that I bought on Craigslist.
Nellie: Oh man.
Dwight K. Schrute: [crushing plane] I call for a refold!
Kevin: No.
Angela: Really? [to Dwight] Thank you.
Kevin: This is flatter.
Dwight K. Schrute: It's a piece of paper. You fold it into an airplane.

Quote from Kevin

Nellie: Okay, that's enough. This is the end of the ring now. You have to pick one.
Kevin: I can't. I love them all too much. And, none of them fly. So that makes it harder.
Nellie: You have to choose one now.
Kevin: Fine. [throws plane, doesn't fly]
Nellie: Angela advances.
Erin: Nice.
Dwight K. Schrute: [clapping] Whoo!

Quote from Andy

Angela: Was Dwight rooting for me? Hmm. I hadn't noticed.

Quote from Pam

Jim: An Earl Grey tea for the lady.
Pam: Oh, thank you. I acknowledge and appreciate that you went out of your way to get me tea.
Jim: Thank you. I like being appreciated. But, to speak my truth, it wasn't out of the way because I felt like a tea anyway. So, one trip.
Pam: Well, to speak my truth, I switched to coffee in March. There's a new espresso machine. But I still acknowledge and appreciate the gesture.

Quote from Andy

Director: We are rolling and...action!
Andy: This video is to demonstrate the HPRDC chemical handling protocols. These protocols could save you from severe injury, even death.
Producer: Okay, um, stop. Um, why are you smiling so much?
Andy: Just made a character choice to be a scientist who really likes what he does and enjoys his job.
Director: Okay, well maybe no smiling on this one.
Andy: So how do you want, how should I do it?
Director: I don't know, just like you're reporting the news or something. Okay?
Andy: This video is to demonstrate the HPRDC chemical handling protocols. It's Tom Brokaw, it's a newscaster.
Director: Who was that?
Andy: Tom Brokaw!

Quote from Andy

Andy: Darryl, what do I do?
Darryl: Hold up, I'm looking at my spit with a microscope.
Andy: They want me to use real water in the eye wash scene.
Darryl: So?
Andy: I can't squirt stuff in my eyeball. I've never even used an eye dropper.
Production Assistant: So Andy, so you know how to use this. You step on the pedal, water squirts in your eyes.
Andy: Carla! Carla!

Quote from Nellie

Nellie: It is time for a little T & A. I give you Toby and Angela.

Quote from Andy

Carla: Andy! If you don't stick your eyes in that machine, I'm going to call every production in North Eastern Pennsylvania. You won't even make an appearance on a security camera!
Producer: What's the hold up here?
Director: The actor's crying.
Producer: Oh, God.
Andy: She yelled at me. I can't wash my eyeball. I can't do that. I can't.
Darryl: Andy Bernard can't squirt water in his eye and act like it doesn't freak him out. But you know who can? Older Male Lab Assistant Number One.
Andy: Do you believe in me?
Darryl: I believe I want to go home.
