‘The Lover’

Season 6, Episode 7 -  Aired October 22, 2009

When Jim and Pam return to the office after their honeymoon, Pam is upset to learn about Michael's relationship with her mother.

Quote from Pam

Michael Scott: Pam, it is very complicated. There are a lot of moving parts here.
Jim: Sounds complicated.
Michael Scott: It is.
Pam: Yeah, but I mean, if you really like this person, then you should see where it goes.
Michael Scott: You want me to be happy?
Pam: Of course.
Michael Scott: Part of the problem is, she is the mother of a close friend of mine.
Pam: Oh.
Michael Scott: More than a friend, a co-worker.
Pam: Oh, gossip. Who is it? Who is it? Who is it, Michael? ... Who?
Michael Scott: It's okay.
Pam: No, no, no, no, no. Oh, no. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Nooooo! [runs out]
[aside to camera:]
Michael Scott: That could have gone one of two ways, but I never expected her to get upset.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight K. Schrute: You seem tense. Hey, you want me to give you the chills?
Michael Scott: Okay.
Dwight K. Schrute: There's an egg on your head and the yolk is running down, the yolk is running down...
Michael Scott: [sighs] Feels good.
Dwight K. Schrute: There's a knife in your back and the blood is gushing down...
Michael Scott: I'm sleeping with Pam's mom. Sometimes, dinner.
Dwight K. Schrute: The blood is gushing down, the blood is gushing down... You know, I really would have appreciated a heads-up that you were into dating mothers. I would have introduced you to mine.

Quote from Pam

Pam: [on cell phone] How could you do this to me? He's my boss! How many times have I complained about him to you? No, I am not being dramatic, you are being crazy!

Quote from Andy

Andy: How may I be of service to you?
Jim: I am gonna need your advice. [Opera music starts loudly playing in the office. Creed starts to cry.] I was thinking about getting this opera for Dwight's birthday, what do you think?
Andy: This aria is a joke.
Jim: Really?
Andy: What are you thinking?
Jim: I was gonna go with this one.
Andy: Let me tell you something, if you respect him at all, you will get him something better.

Quote from Andy

Dwight K. Schrute: The Nard Dog... what was that all about?
Andy: I know, right?
Dwight K. Schrute: What were you talking about in there?
Andy: Trust me it would only make you mad.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: [on phone] No, no, no, I'll talk to her. I will. No, nobody talks to my baby that way. Uh. Ah, yeah, I'll let you know how it goes. Alright, bye pickle.
Kevin: Who's pickle?
Michael Scott: Pamela Morgan Beesly, you need to apologize to your mother right now.

Quote from Pam

Oscar: Hold on, hold on. What's going on?
Jim: Nothing. Nothing at all. It's all good!
Pam: I'm not apologizing to anyone. Michael owes me an apology.
Michael Scott: For trying to find happiness in the arms of a lover?
Pam: Don't call my mother your lover.
Kevin: Yes! That's what I'm talking about.
Andy: That is not okay dude.
Michael Scott: All right, in my defense-
Phyllis: Disgusting!
Creed: That's messed up man.
Pam: Yes! Thank you, welcome to my personal hell!
Oscar: You have no sense of boundaries, Michael.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Michael Scott: Shut up, Oscar. Hey, all right, you know what, clearly I'm outnumbered here, but can I just say one thing, please? What is so wrong about me? I'm caring. I'm generous. I'm sensual. Is it really so horrible that I could possibly go out and find happiness.
Phyllis: Good luck, Michael, I hope you find what you're looking for.
Oscar: Maybe you're right, who are we to-
Pam: Shut up, Oscar. What is wrong with all of you, he is sleeping with my mother!
Dwight K. Schrute: I don't think there's a whole lot of sleeping going on.

Quote from Ryan

Michael Scott: Let's get back to the matter at hand.
Pam: Whatever! You know, sleep with my mom, sleep with everybody's mom.
Michael Scott: No, no, no, no, no.
Ryan: Whoa, that's my mother you're talking about!

Quote from Pam

Oscar: Pam, just for the record, I think you're overreacting a little bit. Your mom's old enough to make her own decisions.
Pam: Oh, well, thanks Oscar. I was just wondering how would you feel if Michael was sleeping with your mom?
Oscar: My mother's in a wheelchair.
Pam: Well, he could still... I'm sorry about that.
