Quote from Michael Scott

Oscar: How was Friday night?
Holly: Oh, I had a good time, but it's been three days and no call. I even have two tickets to see Counting Crows for tonight, so.
Oscar: He'll call.
Michael Scott: Oscar, enough with the girl talk please.

Quote from Jim

Jim: [on the phone] So it turns out tonight is my nephew's tee ball game, and I kind of missed the first three, so...
Pam: You've already disappointed him so much. He can't be expecting a lot from you.
Jim: I know. I suck.
Dwight K. Schrute: Yes, you do.
Jim: Dwight says hi.
Dwight K. Schrute: I do not. [shouting] I do not say hi, Pam!
Jim: Now he's saying hi louder.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Pam: [on the phone] All right, listen, we're still good for this weekend, right? No tee ball games, recitals, karate tournaments?
Jim: Can you got to IM?
Pam: OK.
Dwight K. Schrute: What are you writing about me? I'm gonna write you both up for not working.
Jim: I'm gonna write you up for not working.
Dwight K. Schrute: Okay. Well played. Neither of us will write the other up for not working.

Quote from Michael Scott

Holly: Why do guys not call when they say they're gonna call?
Michael Scott: I don't know. I always call everybody back right away. But he'll call back, though. Give him to the end of the day. He'll call. If he doesn't, he is loco.

Quote from Andy

Holly: So we're only 8 pounds behind Utica. Now, I know it's a stretch, but, we could weigh ourselves again at the end of the day and maybe win this thing after all.
Andy: Leave it to me, boss. I can get this whole office to make weight. It's gonna be a little toasty in here. A good old-fashioned sweat lodge.

Quote from Michael Scott

Michael Scott: Hey, is that healthy food?
Kelly: Nope.
Michael Scott: We're trying to win a contest here, Kelly, please?
