Jim: Did you ever think that because you own the building, everyone in it, we're all kinda like your children?

Jim: Well, now you have a bus full of real bilden-kin...
Dwight K. Schrute: Bilden-kinder.
Jim: Okay. And they're all dangerously close to not getting pie. And there's only one guy who can save them. It's not me.

Jim: I'm gonna drive you up to the lake, give you a whole week on the water. Just you, me and the kids.
Pam: Oh, can we stop by that pie stand on the way?
Jim: You mean Laverne's Pies Tires Fixed Also? [Pam nods] Yes, we will be doing that. We'll be getting a dozen.
Pam: A dozen different pies? Cause that means rhubarb.
Jim: Why would you say that? I meant 4 apple, 4 blueberry, 2 cherry, 1 peach and 1 chocolate. I thought that was implied.
