Quote from Holly

Oscar: If you're into yoga, I take a great Bikram class in Dickson City.
Holly: Thanks, I should check that out.
Oscar: Also, and no pressure, the teacher, he's a catch.
Holly: Actually, I'm a lesbian.
Oscar: I'm gay.
Holly: I'm not a lesbian. I don't know why I said that. Stupid joke.
Oscar: What's the joke?
Holly: There is no joke. I just said it because I haven't had much luck lately, and I'm not really looking to date, so... Maybe I should switch to women.
Oscar: You think it's a choice?
Holly: Um. I'm gonna head back to my work area and just-
Oscar: I'm messing with you, Holly.
Holly: I knew that. Okay, bye.

Quote from Jim

Jim: I can't believe I'm saying this, but Michael is actually killing it with Holly. And I think I know why. It's because Holly is kind of a major dork.

Quote from Kelly

Darryl: Still good. You guys lost a pound. You lost one pound.
Kelly: I was on an IV for two days at the hospital.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: What is wrong with these people? They have no will power. I went- I once went 28 years without having sex. And then again for seven years.

Quote from Angela

Andy: I don't know if there's any one place that has all these things.
Angela: It's not my problem.
Andy: "A thousand-year-old church in the continental United States. There has to be a rainbow. 24-hour veterinarian on call".
Angela: That is very important to me.

Quote from Jim

Ryan: Jim, I wanted to apologize for how I treated you last year. I lost sight of myself. And now that I've quit the rat race, I realized there's so much more to life than being the youngest VP in the company's history. I've even, um, started volunteering. Giving back to the community.
Jim: That's great. You're talking about your court-ordered community service?
Ryan: I don't need a judge to tell me to keep my community clean.
Jim: But he did, right?
Ryan: All right.
Jim: All right.
[Later, Ryan is seen adding another name to his list]

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Holly: I actually have a date tonight. It'll probably be a total disaster, but...
Michael Scott: I think you'll have fun because men from Scranton are handsome, and they know how to show a woman a good time.
Dwight K. Schrute: Not that guy who murdered his mother. He was not so handsome. Eh. Also Kevin.

Quote from Kelly

Ryan: Kelly.
Kelly: Hello, Ryan. You look well.
Ryan: I wanted to say I'm sorry for treating you bad the past couple of years. I was in my mid-twenties, and I was going through a lot of stuff. I think I never really processed 9/11. Um. I want you to know I've changed.
Kelly: Cool.
Ryan: We should get a drink later, catch up. Pick me up around 8:00?
Kelly: Oh, that is so sweet. But I'm dating Darryl still, and we're, like, crazy in love, so...
Ryan: Um. Cool. Um. Well, maybe I'll see you around.
Kelly: It's a small office.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: No, no, no. I don't want to hear moaning. This is a good day. You guys accomplished something big. You lost a ton of weight, literally. A lot of weight. And I don't care what any stupid scale says. You guys are all gigantic losers.

Quote from Jim

Dwight K. Schrute: Wait a minute. One more bite of eclair each. Hold it in your mouth if you can't swallow.
Jim: [looking at Michael] Really? Nothing?
