Quote from Andy

Host: All right, guys. After nine rounds, let's check the scores. In first place, with nine points, it's Aesop's Foibles. The Queerenstein Bears have seven points. Dunder-Mifflin A-Team has four points.
Jim: [claps] All right.
Host: D.M. Backup Team has three points. The Einsteins have eight points. Ladies Gaga have five points.
[aside to camera:]
Andy: So the best chance of hitting our mark is now in the hands, and brains, of Kevin, Meredith, Erin and Kelly. Do I like these odds? My answer is no.

Quote from Erin

Host: Ring it in when you know it. First question: This man had a fatwa declared on him when- [Erin rings bell] Einsteins?
Meredith: What?
Erin: What is it?
Meredith: What?
Erin: I did my part, babe. I'm just the bell girl.

Quote from Erin

Host: Heading out to sea, sailors. On a square-rigged ship, the sale set furthest forward is called what? [Erin rings bell]
Meredith: Princess Ding-Dong, do not hit that bell unless-
Erin: Flying jib.
Host: Flying jib is correct for the Einsteins.

Quote from Robert

Robert: Shalom. Give us just a minute. Stu and I are just finishing up our lesson. Trust me. One nine-minute bout is a cardiovascular equivalent of running uphill for three hours. I could go to the gym three times a week or I can wrestle Stu once a month. [slaps the mat, they wrestle]
Stu: Grab my knee!
Gabe: Yay, Robert!
Robert: Guys, please help yourself to some drinks from the fridge.

Quote from Meredith

Host: According to a recent survey, this is the most common learning disability among American adolescents.
Oscar's friend: [rings bell] Boom! ADHD!
Host: No. [another bell rings]
Meredith: Wrong. The answer is dyslexia!
Host: That's correct for the Einsteins.

Quote from Robert

Robert: They haven't really improved on the Oreo, have they?
Dwight K. Schrute: No thank you.
Robert: Sit down, Dwight.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Robert: [holds a medal to the light] This medal was my grandfather's. He received it for acts of courage. For excellence. It's a tribute one man gives another. I could give you a job, Dwight. Why not let me give you something even better? [holds out the medal]
Dwight K. Schrute: It's a job interview, not a flea market.
Robert: Dwight, the job is not right for you. Now, when something comes along that is right for you, I'll try you out. Now get the hell out of my place.
Dwight K. Schrute: Yes.

Quote from Robert

Dwight K. Schrute: Which one is it?
Gabe: I don't know. All I know is the building.
Dwight K. Schrute: Robert! Robert California! Robert!
Robert: Dwight! How nice of Gabe to show you where I live. Come around. 102.

Quote from Andy

Kevin: Hey! I can make that error.
Oscar: [clicks tongue] Aw...
Andy: Well, it's just, I know that making errors sounds like your kind of thing, but it's a little more complicated than that.
Kevin: No, I-
Andy: It's just, I really need a real accountant on this.

Quote from Oscar

Andy: What do you say?
Oscar: I'm leaving early today because tonight I have a trivia contest in Philadelphia.
Andy: Oh.
Oscar: Any other crunch time, I would love to stay in, cook the books for you so you can save face in front of your CEO, but tonight is Triviocalypse.
