Andy: Excuse me everyone, can I have your attention please?
Stanley: Not again.
Andy: What do you mean again?
Stanley: You're always asking for our attention.
Andy: Maybe like a year ago.
Stanley: Seems recent.

Oscar: Andy, the reason it seems more recent is because many of us here have never stood up and asked for everyone's attention, and it seems like you've done it on several occasions.

Andy: Everyone, I've noticed that we have not been entirely kind to one of our own, due to stigmas and prejudices.

Michael Scott: What?
Jan: You wanna dig into our relationship, go over it, see what killed it. Okay, I'm in.

Jan: No! In the beginning we were not good.
Michael Scott: Well, there was a little bit of a learning curve in the conversation department, but between the sheets we were like Jordan and Pippin!
Jan: Well, if there's anything exciting about it it's because we both knew it was wrong!
Michael Scott: Because we work together.
Jan: No, okay. Imagine there's a princess, who falls for a guy beneath her station, and the queen doesn't like this at all. And the princess knows that the queen doesn't like it so it just makes her wanna do it all the more just to get at the queen!
Michael Scott: Am I the princess?

Andy: Express love, magical.
Kevin: It feels amazing!
Andy: Umm, okay, is that different from feels unbelievable?
Kevin: Yes.

Creed: The feeling of pure risk.
Andy: I actually had that down in the cons column, but...
Creed: It's thrilling.
Andy: Okay, umm, I'll move that. Thrill of risk.

Erin: Andy, aren't there also negatives to sex?
Andy: Yes! Thank you! Such as?
Erin: Unplanned pregnancy.
Andy: Yes, unplanned pregnancy.
Kelly: Like Jim and Pam, say whaaat?
Kevin: Just admit that your baby was a mistake.

Pam: Hey, our baby was not a mistake. She was a surprise.
Jim: Good.
Darryl: I'm sure they don't regret having their child, let's move it to the pros.
Jim and Pam: Thank you!
Andy: Okay, unplanned pregnancy, going in the pros column.

Dwight K. Schrute: Forget it Michael! Today is about herpes.
Michael Scott: I know, I know.
Dwight K. Schrute: Who gave it to you, who has it, and who is going to pay.

Andy: Okay, in that case I will now show you how to put this condom on... using this pencil. [Stanley laughs] What?
Oscar: Why would you choose a pencil Andy?
Andy: Well, I'm not gonna use my penis, Oscar! It's not exactly hard right now anyway.
Meredith: Come on, give it a rest pencil dick.
Andy: I'm doing this for you Meredith!
Meredith: I didn't want you it!
Andy: Well, did you- Why- Didn't- Does no one appreciate what I'm doing right now? [throws pizza box at wall] Whoa!

Helene: It'll go away in time just don't touch it.
Michael Scott: Did I make more of what we had then what was really there?
Helene: What did you think we were?
Michael Scott: Just a quirky indie movie weird sort of thing, breaking all the rules. But had to end, because the summer was over. For you...
Helene: I think- I think that for you to have come here even expecting that we can have a conversation like this show's ho-how self deluded you are! Michael, your memory has failed you greatly.
Michael Scott: Jerk.

Michael Scott: Carole, how are you?
Carole: I'm great! How are you?
Michael Scott: I'm great! I saw your-your sign outside. And I decided, I'm going to pull in, and maybe buy a house from her.
Carole: You didn't call my office and ask them where I was?
Michael Scott: No.
Carole: Because the receptionist told me that a man called, but he would only say that he was my ex-lover.
Michael Scott: Weird.
Carole: Yeah.
Michael Scott: He sounds like a nice guy.

Andy: I don't know, I mean people were being really mean to Meredith.
Gabe: This wasn't really about Meredith was it. You and Erin are broken up.
Andy: How is that relevant to anything?
Gabe: I asked you if it was okay if I asked her out. You said, and I quote, [Cockney accent] "My good sir! Nothing would make me happier than to hand you the hand of the hand once in my hand." I specifically remember it because you said it in such a weird way.
Andy: The only reason I said that is because you asked me so politely! It was very difficult for me to say no.
Gabe: I'll let this slide, but I expect you to put this whole Erin thing behind you.

Holly: [on answering machine] This is Holly Flax, I can't come to the phone right now but please leave a message after the sound of the tiny truck backing up. [beep]

Michael Scott: Hi, Holly it's Michael, I just wanted to call and let you know that I was thinking about what you said. It's just- You know? It's weird. Today, I ended up seeing a lot of women that I used to date, and in my mind they were all great. And then when I actually saw them, it was mostly a freak show. And you and me, that must have been a real train wreck. You know what, Holly? You're wrong. You are wrong. I remember every second of us. And talking to them today, I don't feel for them anything like what I feel for you. I didn't joke with any of them, I joked with you. You are the only one who was actually happy to hear from me. And I don't know why you downgraded what we had, but I did not make us up. Okay. Oh, wait, and you should talk to a doctor because you might have herpes. Bye.
