‘The Search’

Season 7, Episode 15 -  Aired February 3, 2011

After Jim leaves Michael at a gas station, Dwight, Erin and Holly go out searching for him. Holly's ability to get inside Michael's mind freaks everyone out, no one more so than Holly.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Oh, boy. That was yummy. Thank you so much. You know what? I think I left my wallet in my car. Do you mind if I run out and get it?
Waiter: No problem.
Michael Scott: Okay. I'll be right back. [goes to leave but walks back]. Okay. You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't have my wallet and I was gonna try to dine and dash and that was stupid and I realize I can't do that to you fine people.
Waiter: So you can't pay for your food?
Michael Scott: Well, I can, but I will have to come back later tonight and pay you. But the point is I did the right thing.
Waiter: You did not. You have no money, but you dined. And you dined so much.
Michael Scott: Well, the number three is not such a giant feast.
Waiter: Mr. Chu!
Michael Scott: Okay, all right. You know what?
Waiter: You were trying to steal food from us?
Michael Scott: I am not. I just have had a bad day. And I... okay. I'll be back later with the money. I'm just gonna leave right now.
Waiter: You can't. We'll stop you.
Michael Scott: Well, I think I can get through the door.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Erin: Where did he go, Holly?
Holly: I have no idea.
Dwight K. Schrute: Do you see a little clown that you want to follow, huh? Is there a little bird that's chirping to you, "this way, this way"?
Holly: I don't know.
Dwight K. Schrute: Okay, close your eyes, we need you to think. What is Michael seeing right now? Can you tell him that we miss him? Michael we're coming for you!
Holly: Will you stop! There has been a few coincidences, that's all.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Holly: Look, I'm not playing. I'm gonna go look for him.
Erin: Good. We don't need her.
Dwight K. Schrute: Right. I can do this on my own. I can think like Michael. All right... I'm deep below the ocean's surface in a submarine. A torpedo's coming right at me. No. Damn it, that's just my own imagination. Maybe he's bowling.

Quote from Michael Scott

Holly: [climbs the stairs to the roof of a building and finds Michael] Michael?
Michael Scott: Hi. [laughs] How did you know I was up here?
Holly: What are you doing up here?
Michael Scott: I got turned around. I thought I could see Dunder Mifflin.
Holly: Dunder Mifflin.
Michael Scott: Yeah. [laughs] Wow. I just miss you so much.
Holly: I missed you too.
Michael Scott: Really?
Holly: Yeah.
Michael Scott: Can I kiss you?
Holly: Yeah.
Michael Scott: Okay.

Quote from Andy

Andy: Oh, it is on like Genghis Khan wearing Sean John in Bhutan.

Quote from Jim

Pam: Where?
Jim: Okay, fine, three hints. One, when you are getting colder, you're really getting warmer.
Pam: The fridge.
Jim: Two, you have a better chance, if you think Bob Vance.
Pam: The fridge, got it.
Jim: And the final clue...
Michael Scott: Let's go!
Jim: You know what, just think about it, you'll be fine.
Pam: Bye.

Quote from Gabe

Kevin: Okay, it's two giant dogs with two giant palm trees on a regular size island.
Oscar: Okay, I got one.
Pam: Yeah?
Oscar: Yes!
Gabe: Okay, I'm sorry but I am going to have to shut this down.
All: Boo!
Meredith: Why?
Gabe: Unless we can all agree to some ground rules. It's either that or I can fax this to Jo and let her decide how to proceed.

Quote from Gabe

Phyllis: Maybe that's not the best one. Keep reading.
Gabe: Uh, it was.
Meredith: Maybe it wasn't.
Gabe: "Oh, thank God. I had a horrible nightmare that I was stuck in America with Gabe."
Andy: Oh! [laughter]
Phyllis: No, that's not the one I was thinking of. Keep going.
Gabe: "I know what it smells like but I didn't roll in anything. It's from listening to all of Gabe's bull[bleep]." [laughter] "Isn't this the perfect romantic getaway, Erin? Sitting on a deserted island wearing dog costumes? I'm Gabe and I'm a weirdo."
Andy: [laughs]
Gabe: "Gabe's mom... Hmm... Gabe's mom? Wait. Tall woman? Looks like Gabe? Yeah, I banged her."
Phyllis: Yeah, there you go. [laughter]

Quote from Kelly

Kelly: Everybody, can I please have your attention? Ryan and I have a huge announcement.
Erin: Oh my gosh!
Phyllis: Wow.
Kelly: Over the weekend, Ryan Bailey Howard and I got divorced. [throws ring on the ground]
Meredith: Sweet! Free Ring!
Andy: Divorced?
Ryan: Just so you know, it's totally amicable. We're fine. We don't need people here to take sides.
Kelly: The last thing that we want is any kind of drama.
Pam: Wait. Can you back up? What's the story?
Kelly: We were having a beautiful weekend in the Poconos. We were making love, constantly. We saw the sunrise. Ryan was crying a lot.
Ryan: That's not a relevant detail.
Kelly: And in the morning we walked by a chapel and we stopped, suddenly, and Ryan said...
Ryan and Kelly: I don't think I should be married to you anymore.

Quote from Ryan

Kevin: What?
Andy: Sorry, when did you get married?
Kelly: Umm, like a week ago, we got really wasted and it just felt right.
Andy: And you didn't invite any of us?
Ryan: We are getting divorced, Andy! This is such a raw time.
Kelly: God baby, you know, people's reactions to this, I wonder if we made a mistake.
Ryan: No, with the messed up laws in this country, I don't want to be married until everyone can be married.
Oscar: You know what, Ryan, I talked to the other gay guys, and we're okay with it. We all agreed it's fine if you got married.
Ryan: No, Oscar. Not- Not until everyone can!
Kelly: Ryan, I changed my mind.
Ryan: Okay, fine, you know what, this actually isn't amicable at all and we actually do need people to take sides. Who is on my side? [no hands go up]
Kelly: And who is on my side? [again, no hands]
