Andy: Miss no more! What do you play? Join us!
Kevin: I have a tambourine.

Quote from Search Committee
Merv: Did, uh, you just interview?
Robert: Oh, unfortunately, yes.
Merv: What do you mean?
Robert: That business can't attract anyone. It's awful up there. Those people seem like they're in prison, waiting out life sentences in a... dying industry.
Merv: Place must be horrible. I don't know if I want this job. [gets on elevator]
[aside to camera:]
Merv: Well, if I get this job offer, and then I know that I'm gonna take it, and if I take it, I know that I'm never gonna quit, and then 25 years are gonna go by and... I'm gonna die here.
Quote from Christmas Wishes
Robert: The fifth one is for you, Erin. You could take it or leave it. To take it would be to accept that you're at a party and you're an adult woman, with an adventurous spirit. To leave it would be fine, too.
Phyllis: One, two three!
Kevin: Yes.
Erin: Okay.
Robert: Mmm. Wow.
Erin: Whoo! Jiminy Christmas!
Robert: Jiminy Christmas indeed.
Quote from Trivia
Robert: Dwight.
Dwight K. Schrute: Robert.
Robert: You made it.
Dwight K. Schrute: Yes.

Quote from Trivia
Robert: Shalom. Give us just a minute. Stu and I are just finishing up our lesson. Trust me. One nine-minute bout is a cardiovascular equivalent of running uphill for three hours. I could go to the gym three times a week or I can wrestle Stu once a month. [slaps the mat, they wrestle]
Stu: Grab my knee!
Gabe: Yay, Robert!
Robert: Guys, please help yourself to some drinks from the fridge.
Quote from Trivia
Robert: They haven't really improved on the Oreo, have they?

Jim: To both these bears.
Ryan: To both these bears.
Toby: Bears.
Oscar: To both these bears.
Quote from Pool Party
Robert: And of course, the pool. The ultimate lubricant for any wild evening. It was here that my parties would have crescendoed into true madness.
Jim: To madness.
Quote from Last Day in Florida
Robert: What baffles me is how you could take a perfectly good idea, which the great Jo Bennett rightfully signed off on, and then utterly botch it in execution.
Todd: If I may speak to that, I have only been vice president of this project for the last half hour, so the man you want is Dwight Schrute.
Robert: I don't see Dwight. He clearly had the infinite wisdom to stay as far away from this clown show as possible.
Nellie: Whatever you do, do not blame Todd Packer. It is not his fault. Blame his upbringing, his parents, the society that would mold this idiotic creature. Fire the employee, yes. But not the man. You may not cancel his soul.
Robert: That was never on the table.
Toby: [to Nellie] Are you kidding? [to Robert] She's the queen of the whole freaking magilla!
Robert: And yet Todd, it's you who's fired.
Quote from Get the Girl
Jim: Um are you aware that Nellie is giving out raises?
Robert: I am not. Huh.
Jim: Yeah. She gave one to Dwight, Phyllis.
Robert: Let me guess, you want one, too? Take the family to Disneytown?
Jim: Land. World. Uh, it's not that I don't want a- Well, yes, I guess I'd take a raise. That's not what I'm saying. That's not- Sorry.
