Quote from Dwight K. Schrute
Dwight K. Schrute: Dwight Schrute for Robert California!
Receptionist: Oh, hello Mr. Schrute. I'll tell him you're here. Can I get you anything at all?
Dwight K. Schrute: I'm not here to be given anything. I'm here to take what is mine.
Receptionist: Ooh. I'm glad you're on our team. Here, please have a seat.
Quote from Dwight K. Schrute
Gabe: Dwight? What are you doing here?
Dwight K. Schrute: Gabe? You don't know?
Gabe: 'course I know.
Dwight K. Schrute: Hmm. Impressive office you have here. Surrounded by shrubbery, like a squirrel's office.
Quote from Robert
Robert: Dwight.
Dwight K. Schrute: Robert.
Robert: You made it.
Dwight K. Schrute: Yes.
Robert: Impressive initiative. I don't know what's worse, the trip or the destination. [Gabe laughs] Well, uh, let me settle in and I'll be with you shortly.
Quote from Andy
Andy: Hey C-span. So my dad says an accountant can really help you out, if they're willing to "play ball." Those were his words.
Oscar: Gosh, Andy, you had a great quarter. Okay? Robert will understand. Eight hundred dollars is a rounding error!
Andy: So make that error!
Oscar: Andy, no!
Quote from Gabe
Gabe: [answering phone] Hallway phone, Gabe Lewis speaking.
Robert: Gabe, listen to me. Don't bother Bill with this. He has to go put out a fire on the home front. Just wait twenty minutes and then I want you to listen to Dwight's pitch. Make him feel valued. Make him feel heard.
Gabe: Your wish is my command.
Robert: It's a command.
Quote from Andy
Andy: Uh, all right. We need to divide up into teams, but it's winner-take-all so no need to divide evenly. We need an A-team, a backup team and a just-have-fun team. So you guys all know yourselves.
Meredith: Good-timers follow me.
Phyllis: Backups. [Jim goes to join the backups]
Stanley: Go on, kid. You know you don't belong here.
Andy: A-team.
Jim: Okay.
Andy: All right, everybody. Nice self-awareness. Except... [looks at Kevin]
Kevin: Okay. [leaves]
Quote from Erin
Host: All right, first question everyone: Ray Charles famously had this state on his mind. What is its capital?
Andy: Oh, we got this!
Creed: Let's reverse engineer this. You're a black singer. Where do you go? Somewhere where you're a novelty. Alaska?
Stanley: Atlanta.
Phyllis: Oh, I know you think that, because that's where the Olympics were held.
Cathy: My cousins were actually at those Olympics.
Stanley: Keep talking all you want.
Kevin: How am I supposed to know what was on his mind? Ooh, what do blind people think about?
Erin: Okay, dogs, canes, signs, manholes, stairs, piano, darkness.
Host: Okay, time's up. Let's get the boards up. "Atlanta, Georgia" is the correct answer. [Kevin holds up "What is... SEE-attle"]
Quote from Ryan
Host: Hey, now, you're not an all-star of the NBA, but you did get your game on when you won the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award in 2011. Who are you?
Andy: Jim, Darryl. Your time to shine.
Jim: Shawn Marion.
Darryl: Yes, Shawn Marion.
Ryan: That doesn't sound right. I want to say, LaDameon Washington.
Jim: Wrong, for so many reasons.
Quote from Kelly
Phyllis: Well, I know Elizabeth Taylor's sixth man was Richard Burton. Is that helpful?
Stanley: That's it. I'm going to go watch the boats on the river.
Kevin: Ron Artest, Kelly.
Kelly: No, it's Lamar Odom. If it'd been Ron Artest, it would have come up in Dancing with the Stars, when they pan over his trophy case when he's at home with his family. Lamar winning Sixth Man was a big story line on Chloe and Lamar.
Host: All right, boards up. Let's see who got it. "Lamar Odom" is what we were looking for. "Lamar Odom" Thank you.
Jim: Oh my God. Lamar Odom, yes.
Kevin: Nicely done!
Quote from Dwight K. Schrute
Dwight K. Schrute: Take me to Robert.
Gabe: Ow! He went home.
Dwight K. Schrute: Take me to his house.
Gabe: Uh, it's a condo and it's long-term business housing.
Dwight K. Schrute: You know where it is. Lead me there.
Gabe: Stephanie, help.
Dwight K. Schrute: Listen, you're a perfectly fine toilet. I'm just an extraordinary piece of crap. Let's go.
