Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Angela: What? Why did you call me out here?
Dwight K. Schrute: The target... It's Oscar, isn't it? He and the senator are gaying each other.
Angela: I don't know what you're talking about.
Dwight K. Schrute: Your nostrils tell a different story. They flare like that every time you're engaging in deception. Hello again, naughty nostrils.
Angela: Fine! F- It's Oscar. So what?
Dwight K. Schrute: Well, I could understand you wanting to get a stranger's knees whacked. But a co-worker-- Dare I say, a friend?
Angela: Exactly, a friend. Someone who sits next to you year after year, making chitchat and smiling, and all the while running behind your back and defiling your marriage and seducing your husband.
Dwight K. Schrute: I can't even imagine how painful this must be for you. But the first ones to break your marriage vows were you and me.

Oscar: What- What I did was wrong, and I have to live with that every day. But your husband is gay. And he was gay when you married him!
Angela: No. No.
Oscar: Angela, until you face that, you're gonna be confused and angry for all the wrong reasons. But if you want to blame me for the whole thing, go ahead, I won't stop you. Hit me. you have my blessing. Hit me.
Angela: Well, are you gonna let go of it? Because part of the blame is definitely on you.
