Quote from Kelly

Kelly: That is the bravest thing I have ever heard.
Ryan: I can't imagine what I would have done.
Kelly: I can. You would have left me to fend for myself. Like the time we were on the Ferris wheel, and that kid dropped a milkshake on me and you just laughed.
Ryan: Well, that was funny. That's why.
Kelly: Oh, it was? Okay, well, the next time that you get scared that you think a murderer is in your apartment in the middle of the night, and you call me to calm you down-
Ryan: Okay, you know what, I-
Toby: Could you stop?
Kelly: you can just call somebody else because I'm not going to do it anymore, Ryan. I'm not.
Ryan: Well, don't talk to me about calling-
Toby: There's a bunch of people back here.
Kelly: I call you in the middle of the night-

Quote from Darryl

Darryl: Are you wearing lady clothes?
Michael Scott: What?
Darryl: Are you wearing lady clothes? Those look like lady pants.
Michael Scott: No. This is a power suit.
Darryl: That there is a woman's suit.
Michael Scott: I do not buy women's clothes. Do not make that mistake again.
Darryl: I'm going to call Roy, man.
Michael Scott: Okay. All right.
Darryl: This is going to make him feel better. This is too good.

Quote from Karen

Karen: Hey, maybe you want to come over and raid my closet?
Michael Scott: No, I don't want to do that because I'm twice your size anyway.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Negotiations are all about controlling things, about being in the driver's seat. And you make one tiny mistake, you're dead. I made one tiny mistake. I wore women's clothes.

Quote from Kevin

Kevin: So, Karen, how do you feel that Roy tried to kick your boyfriend's ass over another woman?
Karen: I feel great, Kevin. Thank you.

Quote from Angela

Stanley: You must have been scared out of your mind.
Karen: Well, you know, it happened so fast, I didn't really have time to be scared.
Angela: What happened, exactly? I wasn't here. So I haven't really heard the whole story.
Karen: Um. Well, Jim and I were talking. And Roy walked in, looking super angry. And he's a big dude, you know? And all of a sudden, Jim pushed me out of the way and Roy cocked his fist. And then? And then, bam, Dwight sprays him and knocks him on his butt.
Angela: Goodness.

Quote from Pam

Pam: Sorry I almost got you killed.
Jim: Yeah. That was nuts.
Pam: He could have broken your nose or something. Crazy. It's just so stupid. I mean, getting back with Roy and everything. I mean, what I was thinking, right?
Jim: No, I mean, you guys really seem to have a strong connection.
Pam: Not anymore. It's completely over now.
Jim: [chuckling] We'll see. I'm sure you guys will find your way back to one another someday.
Pam: Jim. I am really sorry.
Jim: Oh, yeah. Don't worry about it.

Quote from Karen

Karen: Maybe you just feel guilty about all the pranks.
Jim: No. Yes. That's probably what it is. So what do I do?
Karen: I don't know. Maybe you should go back out there and sell paper so we can go on a trip.

Quote from Creed

Kevin: Michael? Here's the $15 I owe you.
Michael Scott: Thank you.
Kevin: Yeah. I heard you might need it, so-
Creed: Here's the $40 you gave me.
Michael Scott: I didn't give you $40.
Creed: In a way, you did.

Quote from Darryl

Darryl: Fourteen years. Fourteen. I know. Okay, all right, I got to go. Late.
Michael Scott: Okay. Okay. Here's the straight dope. No tricks, no Wikipedia.
Darryl: What?
Michael Scott: I talked to corporate and they told me that I can only give you a five-percent raise.
Darryl: That's 'cause of you, Mike. They're not going to give the working man more than the boss.
Michael Scott: Well, what am I supposed to do?
Darryl: Get your own raise. You've got to get out there and earn, son.
