Michael · Jim:Where he will then leave me to either die or to survive. The choice is yours. / No. The choice is actually yours.

(Un-distributable.) ...He opened it like an ape.'

Jim:Jim's talking head where he reanalyzes the contraction windows: '"Five to seven minutes." "Six minutes." Different, but not really. "Five to seven minutes."'

Jim · Pam:Jim's reaction beat: 'Jim, put those away.' — Jim is embarrassed again about something at the garage sale (the beans reappearing or another embarrassing item)
Jim · Dwight:Jim confessional: 'I'm really sorry. Pam must've put those out.' / 'What were the claims for those beans?' — Jim immediately starts justifying the beans' worth to Dwight
Jim:"You know what? This ends now." — Jim presumably decides to demonstrate the beans, followed by a scene break implying something absurd happened
Jim:Jim's proposal advice: 'If you are in a costume, you did something wrong. If at any point you find yourself tying the ring to a dog's collar, stop and look at yourself.'
Pam · Jim · Michael:Pam says Jim proposed 'at a gas station' — the group is incredulous
Michael · Jim:Michael: 'That must have been a surprise when at the gas station you proposed.' Jim: 'No, it was really sweet. It was raining.' Michael: 'Yeah, you didn't say that the weather was bad.'
Michael · Jim:Michael: 'I want this to be an event that everyone talks about always and forever.' Jim: 'Totally reasonable.'
Jim · Ryan:Jim and Ryan plant the magic beans in a pot and something appears to have grown — 'That's impossible. It is, right? I mean, it's impossible.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight trades the telescope for the magic beans — 'They're probably worthless. Probably.' / 'Leave the telescope.'

Jim · Deangelo:Jim to Deangelo: 'Oh, I totally don't know where Michael is, dude. Hey, you want to listen to some records?'
Jim:Jim wins 'Best Dad Dundie'; his acceptance speech: 'Cece, if you're watching this at home, it's way past your bedtime. By the way, how'd this get televised?'

Andy · Jim · Pam · Dwight · Kevin · Erin · Oscar · Meredith · Angela · Stanley · Ryan:The office performs a parody of 'Seasons of Love' ('Rent') customized with Michael-specific details: 'You hit me with your car / You helped me get off drugs / I watch you when you sleep / I forgive you for kissing me'
Jim · Michael:Jim tells Michael he doesn't have a desk to put his toys on since he has no job lined up, then casually asks if he can have Michael's toy truck
Dwight · Jim:Dwight spots Jim in the hallway and says only 'Hi, Tuna.' — Jim's reaction to camera

Jim:Jim's camera look/reaction as the 'flippety-flip' extends beyond all reasonable limits
Jim:Jim's reaction: 'That is cold, sir. Absolutely cold.' — then: 'It was a complete waste of my time.' (about his visit to the client with Michael)

Michael · Jim:Michael begins a formal, emotional goodbye to Jim ('James Halpert... you started with this company as a fine young man') — Jim cuts it off: 'I think we should just save the goodbyes for tomorrow. At lunch.'
Jim:Jim confessional after Michael leaves: 'Best boss I ever had.'
Jim:Jim's talking head: 'I also say that, because I am also in the inner circle.'
Deangelo · Jim · Others:Deangelo insists the basketball is a Chinese knock-off based on the 'center of gravity' — everyone agrees enthusiastically even though it's from Toys R Us.
Jim · Dwight:Jim's talking head: 'He didn't drop a single ball.' / Cut to: Dwight: 'Look. I'm juggling eggs and bowling balls. I'm juggling with one hand. No hands.'
Pam · Deangelo · Jim:Pam begins to talk to Deangelo about the sexism issue, but Deangelo keeps letting other men into the conversation: 'If it's all right, can I just have like one minute alone, just to go over—' / 'What's the big secret? Why are you even whispering? Come on, it's the guys.'
Deangelo · Jim · Pam:Pam trying to have a private moment with Deangelo — Jim walks in, then Deangelo immediately says 'Saw Jim come in, are we meeting? Let's make it a meeting.'
Jim · Deangelo:Jim is not texted for the inner circle meeting. He watches through the glass, then just walks in. Immediately kicked out.
Jim · Pam:Jim gets a text for the inner-circle meeting but Pam doesn't — Jim's reaction beat at Pam's expense
Dwight · Jim:'So, he kicked you out of the inner circle, huh?' / 'No, there is no inner circle.'
Jim:Jim's talking head: 'So this is my life. Until I win the lottery. Or Pam finally writes that series of young adult books.'

Deangelo · Jim:Deangelo dunks (or tries to), with Jim and others watching. 'Oh, angry, angry dunk.'
Jim:So as it turns out, unless you're a young child or a prison inmate, you don't need anyone supervising you. People just come in and do their work on their schedule. Imagine that — people like us allowed to sell paper.
Jim:That was Jo asking me if I wanted to take over as acting manager while they find a replacement. I told her... I don't want to mess this up, right? There's a consensus. People are happy.
Jim:[Coworker sees Dwight is now acting manager] Wait... [long beat] What have you done?
Jim · Dwight:Do I at least get to go with you in this fantasy? / You'd slow me down.
Dwight · Jim:Dwight has been acting manager for... Three months now. / No. A week. / Just feels like three months.
Jim:We all have to punch into a time clock which is very old, very strong, and has a slot about the size of a finger.
Jim:We were all given new business cards big enough to set us apart from the competition. Which is how I learned that our titles are all now 'junior employee.'
Jim:Our lunch breaks are staggered to prevent wasting time. Mine's at 10:30. And I find that the first hour of the day goes by a lot quicker than the second seven hours.
Dwight · Oscar · Jim:Dwight tells the staff he expects no one to 'foment insurrection.' Oscar asks if people who have already fomented insurrection can be grandfathered in. Dwight says 'Define foment.' Oscar: 'You define foment.'
Dwight · Jim · Other employee:I expect you to be on your best behavior, which means none of you will be insubordinate nor will you foment insurrection. / Question. If we've already fomented insurrection, may we be grandfathered in? / Define foment. / You define foment.
Jim · Pam:Jim excitedly tells Pam about a YouTube video of Beyoncé falling — 'with a fart mixed in'
Dwight · Jim:I will never be happier than I am right now. I will also never be less happy. I will be at my current maximum happiness for the rest of my life, because I am manager of the Scranton branch of Dunder-Mifflin. / Acting manager.
Kevin · Oscar · Jim:Someone has to do something about Dwight. He put some snacks in the freezer for us. / You mean the frozen mice for the piranha? / No. The blueberry slurpee pouch. / Hmm. He means the ice pack.
Dwight · Jim:Don't make me fire you. / You can't fire me. You're acting manager. Not office manager. So you have no firing powers. / Don't make me pre-fire you. / You wouldn't dare. / Watch this. You're pre-fired. And when I'm promoted, you'll be full fired.
Jim:If you get promoted, and if you haven't fallen in love with me by then.
Jim:If I had thought that there was a real chance that Dwight would be permanent manager, I would have pre-quit. And you might be saying to yourself, 'well, that's pretty premature to think,' but I always say it's better to be pre-pre-preprepared.
Pam · Dwight · Jim:You could put your cell phone in it instead. / Uh... Hello! / You could put a banana in it. / Why would I put a banana in my holster? / In case you weren't hungry now but you got hungry later.
Kevin · Jim · Dwight:Dwight went on a shooting spree, and then he shot Andy in the head. / No, no, no. All we know is that a gun fired. That's all we know! / No. That's not true. Actually, we heard a loud noise. Later, a hole was seen. No one saw the bullet leave the gun.
Oscar · Jim:I'll look on WebMD. What are your symptoms? / Oh, everybody. Oscar found a reason to look on WebMD.
Pam · Jim:Oh, it's my turn? Ooh, I'm on the spot. I don't know. Um... You know what? I think I'm good. / Thank God.
Jo · Jim:Jim Halpert — the only man that ever turned me down. / Well, I don't know about that. Just wasn't for me.
Jim · Jo · Creed:Uh, well, we probably don't wanna go just on seniority. Who is it? [Jo reveals it's Creed]
Jim · Dwight:You do know that Jo was right to take the job away from you, right? There's no debating that. But I will say... in your one week, every single one of the orders went out on time. And I think that is shagadelic, baby.
Oscar · Dwight · Jim · Others:The entire final scene: the office struggling to enter the new 21-digit copier code — reading numbers aloud, arguing, making mistakes, starting over.
Interview Candidate (unnamed) · Jim · Toby:Job candidate claims to have a three-step plan that could double profits, then refuses to reveal it: 'Nice try.'

Jim:Jim's talking head: 'I'm really excited to spend a lot of time with Toby and Gabe.'
Jim:'Did you know that Gabe's last name was Lewis? I had no idea.'
Interview Candidate (unnamed) · Jim · Toby:Interview candidate haggles over mileage reimbursement (25 cents vs. 27 cents), then pivots to asking if long-distance calls will be monitored.
Interview Candidate (D.D.) · Jim:The 'steamroller' monologue: candidate asks if Jim feels heard, then declares 'That was your choice, not mine. The fallacy is that it is up to the steamroller. It is up to the object whether it will be flattened or not.'
Jim:Jim's camera look/talking head after the D.D. interview: 'He creeps me out. But I think he might be a genius.'
Darryl · Jim · Toby:Darryl's interview awkwardness: candidate is already talking casually ('I think we make a good fit') before the interview has started, then claims it was 'a little joke' when corrected.
Darryl · Jim · Toby:Darryl uses a warehouse fight as a teaching moment about 'actions and consequences of actions' — an extremely long, uncomfortable pause follows.

Interview Candidate (D.D.) · Jim:The D.D. candidate turns Jim's question about confidence into a power struggle: 'Will you be heard? Will you have a voice? Will I steamroll over you? Do you feel heard right now, Jim?'
Jim · Interview Candidate:'Do you even know anything about paper? How it's made?' / 'I saw an episode on how they make paper on Sesame Street.' / 'Get out.'
Andy · Kevin · Jim:Andy's pre-interview pep talk: he asks his friends what they need to tell him. Kevin says 'I think Andy should be the boss. He's just so great.' Jim says 'If I'm being objective, then Darryl, of course.'
Andy · Toby · Jim:Andy's interview: 'I really think we can streamline communication around here.' / Toby: 'Whoa. That's a very heavy accusation to level against Toby.'
Andy · Jim · Toby:Andy says he'd 'streamline communication,' and Jim and Toby immediately interpret this as an accusation against Toby's HR department.
Jim · Toby · Andy:Andy is asked how many windows are in New York City, pivoting to 'How far away is the sun?' Andy answers both seriously.
Jo · Jim:The 'spot the differences' photo task: 'They're the same picture.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight's self-interview: 'Your department's just you, right?' / 'Yes, Jim, but I am not easy to manage.'
Jim · Dwight:Dwight demands an interview and is turned down. Jo tells him: 'The whole point of this search committee process is to prevent hiring someone like you ever again.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight's daughter name joke: 'How's the family? Good? Are they good? What's your daughter's name again? Pee Pee?' / Jim: 'Peepa.' / Dwight: 'Peepa. How is she? Great. Great! Oh, that's great.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight's bribe offer: 'You roll in at 10:00 a.m. to your own private reserved parking spot, pick up your daily free coffee from Dwight's Caffeine Corner, unlimited sex breaks for you and Pam. Erin will eat garbage for your entertainment.'
Jim · Darryl:Darryl is told that the other candidate is 'an amazing man. He's a Rhodes Scholar. He invented an app that invents apps. Fantastic kisser.'

Dwight · Jo · Jim:Dwight is unmasked: 'It's me. I'm Dwight.' — followed by Jo calling him 'Very unprofessional, Jacques.'
Jo · Jim:Jo discusses a candidate who kept asking about the Finger Lakes: 'Every five minutes he was like, Hey, just making sure the Finger Lakes thing is clear.'
Jim:Jim's assessment of Ryan for the manager role: 'Sales ability, none. Integrity? See sales ability.'
Jo · Jim:Jo: 'Let's get Kelly in here to take his place. Why Kelly? 'Cause Gabe's tall and weak. She's short and strong. I'm doing an opposites thing.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight's gun policy promise: 'I am going to institute a strict No Firearms policy for this office that extends to myself as well.' Jim: 'Wow. All of my concerns are disappearing.'
Jim · Dwight:Jim tells Dwight he'll be hearing from them shortly and 'I think you're going to like the call you're going to receive.' Dwight: 'Oh, come on. I'm just happy that I got this meeting.'
Jim:Jim: 'What is happening right now?'
Jim:Jim's confessional: 'What is happening right now?'
Jim · Meredith · Others:Jim's response: 'Okay, fine. Uh, the guy with the tiny penis. Are you happy? Let's hire that guy! She may have a point there. Would a small penis work? Small to moderate.'
Jim · Kelly · Unnamed Employee:Jim's sarcastic resolution: 'The guy with the tiny penis. Are you happy? Let's hire that guy!' — response to Kelly's criteria. Then: 'Would a small penis work?' / 'Small to moderate.'
Jim · Pam:Why do you keep watching it if you know it's just going to make you cry? / Because everything makes me cry, so what's the difference?
Jim:The new CEO does these weird walks around the office. And you never know who he's going to zero in on for these really intense small talks. You just hope it's not you. And yet you hope it is you too. It's strange.
Jim · Pam:Jim and Pam discover Robert's notebook at reception — Jim signals Pam urgently with exaggerated pantomime (psst, waving, come here gestures)
Kevin · Jim · Phyllis:We need a warning signal. / We don't need a warning signal, Kevin. I can see him right there. We do! / I promise you, we don't need-- / WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! [Kevin shouts, startling Phyllis into an accident]
Erin · Jim:I know! It's alphabetical. / No. No, it's not.
Dwight · Jim:Dwight lines up the groups and announces: 'Attack!' then launches himself at the other group before anyone can react. Jim: 'Wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop, stop.'
Robert · Jim:The complete self-absorption of Elmo is brilliantly reflective of our time. Ours is a cultural ghetto. Wouldn't you agree? / Yeah. She does like Elmo.
Robert California · Dwight · Jim:Robert describes Margherita pizza to the winners' lunch — 'Fresh tomato, with a dollop of mozzarella cheese.' Multiple people: 'That's pizza.' 'That's regular pizza.'
Jim:Hey, guys, we had so much fun. We had Margarita pizza. We all hung out and got to know each other better. How was your lunch?
Robert California · Andy · Jim · Meredith:Winners return from lunch. Everyone claims they had an incredible time. Meredith/Pam: 'It was excellent.' 'Good times.' 'Yeah? Yeah?' 'Oh, we did.' 'It was the best time.' Robert: 'And you know what? Now it's over. Back to work everyone. You too, Andy.'
Jim · Andy:Andy, don't go in there! / I'm going in there.
Andy · Jim · Pam · Dwight:End-of-day goodbyes — everyone says 'Good night, Andy' as he leaves last, slightly excluded from the warmth of the group departures
Jim · Pam:Oh, uh, you dropped something! [Jim has left a hand-drawn version of Pam's 'cute little cartoons' on the ground for her to find]
Dwight · Jim · Andy:The Sabre Pyramid tablet: absurd weight, battery pack requirements, and memory measured in 'L' (a unit nobody recognizes)
Andy · Jim:Andy interrupting Dwight's meeting about a failing product to ask about tie clips and calling Jim 'C-Span'
Andy · Jim:Andy explains 'C-Span' = Cocker Spaniel, 'Spaniel because of your Spanish bloodline, Cocker because—' [cut off]
Robert California · Jim:Robert to Jim: 'I'm afraid you've lost my interest. Let me call you back. I got to go.' — hanging up mid-sentence

Andy · Dwight · Jim · Oscar:Andy's 'rap session' — gathering the team for a 'little rap session to talk about business' that has no agenda and no ideas
Andy · Jim · Dwight · Phyllis · Stanley:Andy's 'rap session' with the salespeople: 'Just thought we'd have a little rap session. Talk about business. See how things are going.' followed by awkward silence.
Jim · Oscar · Andy:Jim: 'If we could just double our sales, we already would have.' Oscar: 'You're not making any sense.' Jim: 'He brings up two good points.'
Jim:Jim's 'Tuna' and 'Fart' contributions — sitting at the meeting but reducing his input to single random words: 'Tuna.' ... 'Fart.'
Pam · Jim:Pam showing Jim an issue of Parenting magazine: 'This is CeCe's favorite magazine. She loves the pictures of babies. She looks at it when she's on the potty and she makes the faces.'
Jim · Pam:Jim's guilty reaction when Pam asks if he's 'read' the article on walking while pregnant: 'I flipped through it.'

Jim · Andy:Jim to Andy outside: 'Nobody really expects you to go through with this.'
Jim · Angela:Jim: 'Yeah. I think you should call social services.' Angela: 'I already did.'
Jim · Dwight:We're looking at, at least one suicide and one weird sex thing. At least.
Dwight · Jim:'Hey, Pam. Let's buy expensive bathrobes and hug.' Jim's lottery fantasy mocked by Dwight.
Jim:I'd either bike to my job at the kayak shop or I'd kayak to my job at the bike shop.
Jim · Pam:Whoa, Saucy, I thought you liked Maine. / I think we should get a townhouse in Soho. / Soho's mostly lofts, but okay.
Pam · Jim:And then my handsome husband... / Which, ideally, would be me. / Would bring me a flavored coffee. / Stop. I'm a barista in your fantasy?
Jim:That is not Darryl. I don't know where Darryl is. I suspect, probably, our Darryl is inside of Fat Darryl.
Jim · Dwight:This is literally how they built the pyramids. / Well, they whipped people, which was helpful.
Jim · Dwight:Not that they're not smart people. / No, no, very smart... / Theirs is more of a physical intelligence. / I'd go with that. / Like baboons or elephants. / Not that, don't...
Jim · Dwight:It's a great idea, Kev. I don't think it applies here, though. / You need to drop it, okay? They hate it. I like it a lot, but they hate it, so drop it.
Jim · Pam:So, I've been thinking, after we win the lottery, we take our winnings... / Our fake winnings. / And we move to the South of France. / See... No, there's plenty of bicycling for you. I think that's where they do the Tour de France. / It is, yeah. / I mean, I just don't know why I'm compromising if it's my fantasy. / Because in my fantasy, it's Maine, and you love it. / Because I'm never going to act like that, even in your fantasy. / Nope, you're doing a great job of it in my fantasy right now.
Kevin · Jim · Dwight:So I found this grease. And then I remembered that you thought it was a great idea. You did say it was a great idea. I heard you say it. / So it's not the dumbest idea. / It's not the greatest one... But the fact remains, we gotta move these boxes. And it's clear we're not going to carry them.
Jim:Okay, Darryl. Listen, and then you will understand. The boxes were ruined during our first trial testing. So now it's cool, 'cause we found another use for them.
Jim · Dwight · Andy:And we did. / I don't know. / Jim, tell them what it's called. / That's all right. / No, Jim, tell them what the name is. / Doesn't matter what the name is. / Señor Loadenstein, that's stupid. / Señor Loadenstein.
Dwight · Jim:Tell them why it's called Señor Loadenstein, Jim. / That's okay, we're good. / No, Jim, tell us why it's called Señor Loadenstein. / Porque es muy rápido.
Jim · Pam:We came to an agreement. We're going to live in a stunning pre-war brownstone at the top of a mountain. Right, it's city and country combined. Just a subway stop away are the best museums in the world. And I can fish right from the window of Pam's pottery studio. / We can chat any time we want. Just like now.
Jim:Talking-head: 'There's this thing that people tend to do with billboards... if there's an opportunity for a graffiti artist to work in a phallic shape interacting with the artwork, it'll happen. And Andy gave them that opportunity.'
Jim:Jim's talking head: 'Why didn't you just say this was to impress Robert California?'
Jim · Pam:Street view of Schrute Farms on Google Maps — the camera apparently caught something embarrassing on the farm
Dwight · Jim:Dwight reveals his 'secret weapon' for the party — a $2 book on garden party hosting — which turns out to be Jim's self-published fake book written to manipulate Dwight

Dwight · Jim · Pam:Dwight announces: 'James, Pamela, and Peepee Halpert.'
Walter Jr. · Jim:Walter Jr. introduces himself to Jim: 'Tuna, right?' — using Jim's office nickname — and Jim's visible surprise that the brother knows his nickname

Mose · Dwight · Jim · Pam:Closing ceremony drumming — 'What are they doing?' / 'Closing ceremonies.' / 'Nice touch.'
Jim · Dwight:Jim keeps returning to the party having 'forgotten' things — returning multiple times — while Dwight announces him with full ceremony each time: 'Mr. James Halpert!' / 'Keys. My keys.' / 'Stop forgetting things.' / 'I didn't forget them. They're right here.' / 'Mr. James Halpert!'
Jim · Dwight:Jim returns one more time ('I think I forgot the—') / Dwight: 'What, you idiot' / Jim asks Dwight who the best salesman in the office is, just to trigger one final 'Mr. James Halpert!'
Jim:When they talk about all the nice things about dating a co-worker, they don't mention one of the best parts. After you're done dating, you still get to work together every single day.
Jim:Kevin started crying, so I am Chris Bosh.
Jim:No. My wife does not believe in ghosts. [camera look implied]
Pam · Jim:I saw a ghost. / What I'm saying is, do you ever wonder what it was? / It was a ghost. I told you this on like our first date. / Yeah, I had just told you about the day I met the Blue Angels. I figured you had to top it.
Jim · Pam:Pam Halpert. Hey. It's Jim Halpert. I was wondering if you wanted to see a movie tonight. / Is it called Ghostbusters? / It's called Ghostbusters.
Jim:I ain't afraid of no ghosts. [Jim to camera]
Jim · Dwight:Dwight, are you eating a stick? / It's a root, idiot.
Jim:I'm only scared of real things, like serial killers and kidnappers. Not things that don't exist like ghosts or mummies.
Jim:Why on Earth would a museum put a mummy in it?
Jim:Maybe the Eagles will hear about it and want to play better.
Jim:Yeah, I guess sometimes I have nightmares about being buried alive.
Jim:Like a few years down the road, Cece says 'Mom, there's a ghost in my closet.' Now you say one of two things: One, 'You're just having a bad dream.' Or two, 'Let's go see what it wants.'
Jim:Jim's talking head: 'Andy has been manager for 105 days, which means I've heard Closing Time 105 times. Still don't know the words.'
Dwight · Jim · Oscar · Kelly:The office learns the failsafe will also forward every negative email they've ever sent Robert about him. Reading of the emails: 'Creep by TLC, Creep by Radiohead.' / 'There's no way he hasn't strangled at least one stripper.' (Jim) / 'He eats his yogurt like he is punishing it for disappointing him.' (Oscar)
Jim:Jim's email about Robert: 'There's no way he hasn't strangled at least one stripper.'
Jim · Dwight:Jim: 'Wait. So you installed a doomsday device?' / Dwight: 'No, it's an Accountability Booster.' / Jim: 'Which, when it goes off, it destroys everything.' / Dwight: 'Very similar to a doomsday device.'
Jim · Dwight:Jim: 'If this doomsday device goes off—' / Dwight: 'Accountability Booster.' / Jim: 'If this bad idea goes off...'
Jim · Pam:Jim and Pam trying to guess Dwight's password. Jim: 'Try Mose-1-2-3-4.' / Pam: 'Dwight would never be that obvious. Try something like Z-6-4-$-8.' / Jim: 'Not that exactly, something like that.' / Pam: 'How about Scranton-Strangler-6-6-6?'
Jim · Pam:Jim: 'What's Dwight's mother's name?' / Pam: 'Hedda.' [long pause, they stare at each other]
Andy · Jim:Jim about Robert's location: 'He's at some club where you either eat squash or play squash.' / Jim: 'I'll try both.'
Robert California · Jim:Jim tries to delay Robert at squash: Robert serves and Jim awkwardly plays. 'All right. Serving. Serving, serving, serving. In the box. In the box.'
Jim · Robert California:Jim's phone battle with Robert at squash: Jim tries to check Robert's phone, they tussle over it, Jim drops it, Robert: 'What the *?' / Jim: 'Oh man, I'm sorry!' / Robert: 'Jesus! Did it break?' / Jim: 'No it's good, thanks.'
Robert California · Jim:Robert and Jim examine each other's phones after the melee: 'What kind of iPhone is that?' / 'It's the standard one, the one everyone has.' / 'Yeah, I have the one that nobody has.'
Robert California · Jim:Robert reads Jim's email notifications: 'Is there anything interesting? It depends, Jim. Do you find one-day-only JetBlue sales to Buffalo interesting?'
Jim:Jim's talking head after squash: 'Well, I am sore and obviously horrible at this.'
Jim · Robert California:Jim and Robert California play squash; Jim falls and skins his knee. They both agree it hurts and carry on.
Jim:I'm not gonna tell my nine-months-pregnant wife that I find her replacement objectively attractive. Like I'm not gonna tell my daughter that violent video games are objectively more fun. It's true, but it doesn't help anybody.
Jim:If that was for the matchmaker test, I think I'm in the clear. If that wasn't for the matchmaker test, then...
Jim · Pam:Why? / I'm sorry, I fell down, Mr. Balance.
Jim · Cathy:That line from Zoolander? It was from a deleted scene. / So we were both right. / Told you.
Pam · Jim:Pam directly to Jim: 'Just admit that she's attractive. It's annoying that you won't say it.'
Jim:Stop grabbing my penis. Grow up.
Jim:You have to share the machine with others. That's what they taught me in my 19th-century kindergarten.
Jim:This reminds me, Cece needs a new toothbrush.
Unknown · Jim:I have a new heart, you know. / Do you really, Tin Man?
Jim:Because this lie isn't for me, it's for Pam. And when she gets her body back and her confidence back... yes, I will tell her the truth. That... I had feelings for a co-worker today, that I haven't had in years.
Jim:In my defense, he was grabbing my crotch fairly aggressively at the time.
Dwight · Pam · Jim:Yep, he's lying. / See, was that so hard? / I am not lying. / Really? / Are you really gonna listen to his stupid homemade test? / I would listen to it, because your husband is lying. In fact, he's lied about every question. Even his name. Who are you really?
Dwight · Pam · Jim:Look at the numbers. Every single time, it's come up 150 over 100. Your husband is a pathological liar. / You have high blood pressure. / He is definitely attracted to her. / Doesn't your dad have it? / Yeah, but I don't smoke. / When have you been to the doctor? / I don't know.
Jim · Dwight:Trust me, I'm around for the long haul. / It's not really your choice, is it? Death waits for no man.
Jim:Cece's toothbrush.
Jim:Hey guys, you can't keep saying you're going into labor. Everyone knows you're full of it.
Jim:I don't see it. [reaction to Andy's Lincoln resemblance]
Jim · Andy · Unknown Employee:By the way, did we leave all the food on the bus? / Let's talk about food for a second. Food for thought. / Yeah, that's what I had for breakfast, and I think that's probably why I'm still hungry.
Andy · Jim · Darryl:Hunger for victory. Hunger for honor. Hunger for pride. / Hunger for hamburgers. / Hunger for chicken chimichangas.
Jim:Andy, this is inappropriate. People died here, man.
Andy · Jim:I'm still going, and I'm not going to ask anymore. I'm just going to assume that you're with me. [walks off, pauses] / You said you weren't going to look back.
Jim:Phyllis is sitting on the ground eating a dirty sandwich.
Jim:Our office has a disease, and it goes by many names. Sarcasm, snark, 'wisecracks.' You take things that people care about and you make them feel lame about it with your jokes. That's what you did with this trip.
Jim:Andy, if you don't believe me, take a look at what's on my head. I'm wearing a very pink hat. I've been getting weird looks all day, because I'm pretty sure 'DM does GB' means something kind of sexual. But guess who's wearing them? All of us. Just for you, man. That's huge.
Andy · Jim:You don't like the hats? / They're terrible. / I hate myself.
Jim:Jim: 'Hey, guys, let's just all admit it, okay? Dwight's better than us.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight: 'He had the guts to stop sitting, and he's never, ever gonna go back on it, right?' Jim: 'That's right, Jim.' — Dwight accidentally calls himself Jim.
Dwight · Jim:Dwight sitting down. Coworker: 'Taking a load off, huh?' Dwight: 'No. Putting a load on, more like.'
Dwight · Jim:Jim: 'Good luck with that.' Dwight: 'Last thing I need is luck.'
Jim · Dwight:Jim drops something off Dwight's standing desk to force him to bend over and retrieve it. Dwight refuses because he's now sitting.
Jim · Dwight:'Cause you could easily just bend over and pick that up right? / I could. I just don't feel like it, loser.
Jim · Dwight:Because you're sitting? / Standing. / Okay. Don't. / Because you're sitting? / Standing.
Jim · Susan California · Dwight:Jim: 'Well, it's sales, so you have to be able to live in the world of rejection.' Susan: 'Maybe you do.' — and then Dwight immediately demonstrates his sales philosophy.
Jim:Jim: 'Well, it's not that easy. It's kind of sometimes difficult.' — immediately after Dwight's confident oversimplification.
Jim:Jim's talking head: 'I don't think we should be trying to make this place seem unpleasant. I think we should let this place just crush her spirit by itself — what it's doing to all of us.'
Jim · Andy:Jim is found by Robert and Susan. Jim: 'No, no. No, no, no. Don't. Damn it, Tuna.'

Jim:Ow! Ow. Ow. [Jim crawling out of hiding, injuring himself]
Jim · Creed:Jim to Creed: 'Creed, I was never here, all right?' Creed: 'Okay. What about your friend?'
Jim:Jim's non-answer to 'Did Robert tell you he didn't want me working here?': 'See, I didn't want to get in the middle of this. But here's something... I feel that maybe, if we take a step back, this is a simple case of anxiety to work with a spouse.'
Jim:Susan: 'Jim. Answer the question please.' Jim delivers a heartfelt speech about how his wife on maternity leave makes him work harder and smarter. 'She literally makes me work harder. She makes me smarter. She makes me remember why I'm here.'
Andy · Jim:Andy's biggest wish is that everyone get along with his girlfriend Jessica, then: 'She's not your grandmother, is she?' / 'Ugh, gam gam's name is Ruth, Jim. You should know. I introduced you on speaker phone that time.'
Jim:Jim: 'Hey, what's Ruth's deal, man? Totally out of your league.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight slaps Jim's hand reaching for something — 'Ow, what are you doing?' / 'Hey! Hey! Respect the hat.'
Jim:Jim talking head: 'Dwight really wants my bonus. He's trying to entrap me. Oh God, now I can't drink at this thing.' [pause] 'I get really pranky when I drink.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight loudly recites Jim's replacement credit card number (and security code) into the phone while Jim is nearby
Jim:Jim talking head: 'Dwight did take the bait. He used my credit card numbers to send a $200 bouquet of flowers... to my wife. From me.'
Erin · Jim · Pam:Drunk Erin to Jim and Pam: 'I am so happy you guys are together. And you both have such beautiful hair. I hope you guys get married. And who knows? Maybe at the wedding I meet someone.'

Jim · Dwight:Dwight opens his desk drawer to find it full of meatballs, reacting in bewilderment: 'Oh... Oh. What is this? A meatball? Really?'
Jim:Jim's talking head: 'It's always more fun to mess with Dwight with an audience. That was usually Pam. So now that she's out, I had to find someone else.'
Jim:Jim's talking head: 'Turns out that Stanley is quite the comedy fan.' Beat. 'But not everything makes him laugh. He has very specific tastes.'
Jim:Jim's talking head: 'Through a painstaking process of trial and error, I found out what he likes. And it's really weird.'
Stanley · Jim:Stanley laughing uproariously at Dwight discovering meatballs, then cutting to him stonefaced: 'Jim, come on. So juvenile.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight shouts 'You've been meatballed!' and 'Are you ready for some meatballs?' — then immediately complains: 'This is not very clever, Jim.'
Stanley · Jim:Stanley's deadpan: 'Really, Jim? Really?' — shown reacting to seeing his stapler encased in something (implied from 'Look for your stapler').
Jim:Jim looks at Robert California's enormous house: 'Got a little bit of The Shining vibe, though. Who needs a house that size?'
Robert California · Jim:Robert demands of Jim: 'Does my turmoil amuse you?' / Jim: 'I'm sorry, I thought you were making a joke.' / Robert: 'What could you possibly have found funny in what I said? What was the joke you thought you heard?'
Jim:Jim tries to explain: 'I guess I thought you were approaching it with more of a sarcasm than misery. Kind of laughing at your own pain. Sad clown thing.'
Jim:Jim shows up at the party briefly: 'Hey, late guy. Hey. Wow. Just stopping by. Got another party to go to.' Someone: 'Oh.' Jim: 'A wife and two kids at home party. DJ Pam Halpert is spinning some serious Radio Disney tonight.'
Jim:Jim's talking head: 'You're looking at the master of leaving parties early. The key is you have to make a strong impression so you want to have a picture taken, you want to say some peculiar non sequitur that people remember, you want to note something unique, a talking point for later.'
Jim:Jim's talking head kicker: 'I don't mean to brag but New Year's Eve, I was home by 9:00.'
Jim · Dwight:Jim: 'Hey, Dwight Snoot, what you doing?' Dwight: 'Wait, relaxing. Scram.'
Jim · Stanley:Jim: 'Hey Stanley, what happened to my pants?' Stanley: 'I moved them. Pants only need a chair if there's a person in them.'
Robert California · Jim · Toby:Robert: 'My wine collection.' Jim: 'How many bottles? Three hundred?' Robert: 'About 1,200.' Jim: 'What the hell, grab a bottle.' Robert: 'Less inventory for the lawyers.'
Jim · Cathy:Jim and Cathy pair up for chicken fights in the pool. Jim awkwardly says 'Come on, Cath' — reaction shot implied as Erin and Dwight watch.
Jim:Jim, having made his exit impression, points at something: 'And there's my talking point.'
Dwight · Jim:Did you send him to the slammer? / Not guilty. / Of course you found him not guilty. (Mocking) 'He apologized and I just really want him to like me.'
Jim · Dwight:We're best friends actually. We're going wine tasting next weekend if you want to come. / Not coming. Have plans.
Jim:Jim's talking-head confessing he took extra days off — 'And then three other days happened'

Jim:Jim's confessional: 'The least I could do was give them a good story.' [Cut to Jim acting out the hit-and-run with a double backflip explanation]
Jim · Toby · Andy:Oh man, Ernesto's! That was our favorite restaurant too. / You mean food truck. Ernesto's was a food truck. / Toby, shut your hole about the empanadas. Nobody cares about the empanadas.
Dwight · Jim:Dwight cross-examining Jim about the hit-and-run: 'You never said he was on a bicycle.'
Dwight · Jim:(Laughing) Busted, Halpert! Yes! / Wait. No.
Jim · Toby:Jim: 'Hey, this guy look familiar?' / 'It's the empanada guy!' / 'Holy [bleep]. Damn it, Toby. No, I wasn't asking you.'
Jim:He remembers Toby — the most forgettable man in the known world.
Jim:He doesn't want any trouble. He sees lots of people. They come from all around to eat his delicious meat pockets.
Jim:Hey, Murder, She Wrote, how about we drop the whole Murder, She Wrote thing, okay?
Andy · Dwight · Jim:Jim was at the courthouse for jury duty every morning. How do I know? Because I drove him there. / Why? / Because my car broke down.
Jim:Jim's confession to the office: 'I kind of, well maybe took the week off.' [beat] / What? / Funny? No? Nobody laughed.
Jim:Yes, I am bringing my kids in to help me get out of this hole.
Pam · Jim:Wow, I really thought I'd be more excited to be here. / Whoa, whoa, whoa. Game face, baby. Game face. / Oh, right. Okay.
Pam · Jim:Hi, Stanley. / No, that's overdoing it. I think. / Hi, Stanley. Split the difference.
Cece · Jim:Cece, did you do these? / No. / She says no to everything. You know, she thinks my name is 'No.'
Jim · Cece:Cece, do you want some broccoli? / Yes. / No. / It's crazy.
Jim · Cece:Cece, do you want some broccoli? / Yes. / No.
Andy · Jim:Hey, Cece — why don't you draw another picture for us exactly like this one, or at least in the exact same style? / You know what? I don't think you need to do things on command. That's very weird. Just take that. Thank you.
Jim:Look what I can do now that she's no longer pregnant. Bam, bam, bam, bam.
Jim · Andy:So, you guys, you know what's an even more useful treat is cash, so-- Nope, it's over.
Jim · Andy:We're pin twins. / Pin twins.
Jim:When I saw it in CVS, it made me gag too.
Jim · Andy:Two question marks. / No, just do one. / Two question marks is kind of aggressive. You know, it's like, 'wh-- what?'
Jim · Andy:It's perfect. You emphasized the golf, completely omit the Florida. / Yeah, it's a golf text. / Total golf text, send it.
Jim:You want to call someone that texted you? Do you want to drive them away? I mean--?
Jim:He responded 'LOL.'
Jim · Pam:Now, is it too dark to say that Cece's having an operation? / I think you need to go to Florida.
Pam · Jim:It's only for three weeks. You know, with my mom and sister at the house it'll be-- / A total nightmare. / I was going to say, 'good, because I'll have all the help I need.' / Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They're incredibly helpful. You're lucky to have them.
Jim · Dwight:You know, Dwight, if you didn't want me to go, the smart move would be to tell Andy that I actually am essential to the operation. That way I couldn't go. / Jim is essential to-- / Hold on, just want to get it on camera.
Dwight · Jim:Essential. / This is stupid. Cut. / All right, I'm going to pack my trunks. / He doesn't even want to go.
Dwight · Jim:Well, I got a text from RC inviting me to come down, so I think that's going to make us roommates. / Oh, my God. / Do you shower at night or do you shower in the morning? Because I want to shower when you're showering to save some water.
Jim:Hey, quick question. Do you shower at night or do you shower in the morning? Because I want to shower when you're showering to save some water.
Jim · Dwight:Oh, don't write it down unless you like it. / Oh, I like it.
Jim · Pam:Hey, will you put this coat on my chair? I just realized I'm not going to need it down there. / Yes, I will take your coat and I will keep it with me. And I will sleep with it, because it smells like you. / No, no, no, no, just put it on my chair.
Pam · Jim · Pam:Goodbye. / For a very, very long time. / Hmm? Okay. / It's only three weeks.

Nellie · Jim · Dwight:Nellie: 'Jim, you're a big tall man. You'd be hilarious trying to do it like a little boy.' Jim awkwardly lowers the screen. Dwight: 'Something done right, ask Dwight.' 'Right, Dwight. Right, Dwight. Right, Dwight.' 'Sorry. Now you'll never be able to get that out of your head.'
Jim:Jim's confessional: 'I've spent so much of my life telling myself, "Please, don't end up like Stanley." And now I'm wondering if I even have what it takes.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight being carried out: 'Arrest Jim. He poisoned me.' Jim: 'What? No!' Dwight: 'The one thing Pam made sure I knew — Florida's pretty loose with the death penalty.'

Jim:Jim's confessional: 'Jim, get ready for the battle of your life. Done. Explain.' Then: 'There is a shark hiding inside that adorable little cherub.'
Jim · Dwight · Pam:Jim didn't know there was a sales meeting: 'The new guys called a sales meeting?' 'Clark ended the whole thing with a karate demonstration. Did you know there was a belt above black?' 'There is no belt above black.' 'Is there a belt above black? You should ask him.' 'It's a color you would never expect.'

Jim · Dwight:Jim suggests to Dwight that because he owns the building, 'everyone in it, we're all kind of like your children.' Dwight reveals: 'You know there's a phrase about that in German, bildenkinder, used almost exclusively by childless landlords to console themselves.'
Jim · Dwight:Jim, trying to use Dwight's own 'bildenkinder' against him: 'Now you have a bus full of real bildenkinder.' Dwight: 'Bildenkinder. Okay, and they're all dangerously close to not getting pie. And there's only one guy who can save them.' Jim: 'It's not me.' Dwight: 'I agree. Oh.'

Colin · Jim:The board call is spooky-sexy. 'I think there's been a mistake. We're trying to reach Jim Halpert, not Batman.'
Jim · Dwight:Oh, are those your kids? They're so cute. They could be models. / Thank you. I carried each one of them for nine months inside of my torso and then pushed them out of my vagina.
Jim:Ten years ago, I didn't care if Dwight got married or died a beet-farming bachelor. But having kids makes you so soft. I used to watch Pulp Fiction and laugh, and now I'm like, 'that poor gimp is somebody's child.'
Jim:Well, it's finally happened. Pam has ceased caring.
Jim:Last week, Jim wasn't there and they named the company Athlead. I could have prevented that.
Jim · Pam:Hey, David? How'd you like a guy who's not here as much, gets paid the same amount of salary and has bigger fish to fry in Philadelphia?

Jim · Phyllis · Stanley:Why should we help you? Because we are friends. When is my birthday? Unfair. When's my birthday? I don't know, because we're not friends.

Pumpernickel?'

Brian · Jim:Brian: 'We have to find a different way to communicate other than breaking down in front of each other.' Then adds: 'At least my crying won't get you fired.'
Jim:I guess I just feel like a chump... who knows less about his marriage than the sound guy.
Jim:Jim's sarcastic 'Yeah, well, yeah, okay. Well, then thank you. Thanks to both of you.' — directed at Pam and implicitly at Brian, after Pam explains she didn't share her crying because she didn't want to stress Jim out.

Jim · Pam:Jim: 'I don't think you should go to Philly tonight. I think you should stay, and I think we should fight.' Pam: 'You really want to fight on Valentine's Day?' Jim: 'Yeah, I do.' Beat. 'Okay. All right, put your dukes up, Beesly.'
Jim · Pam:Jim surprises Pam in Philly with champagne after she didn't get the job. Jim: 'Are you all right?' Pam: 'Oh, yeah. I'm more than all right. There's just nothing to celebrate.' Jim: 'It's from the part of France that immediately gave up to the Nazis.'
Pam · Jim:Pam describing the Michael Scott interviewer to Jim over dinner: 'He did half the interview as Ace Ventura.'
Jim · Pam:Jim and Pam guessing the poster in the interviewer's office — Austin Powers, Ferris Bueller, Night at the Roxbury — it's The Odd Life of Timothy Green. 'I'm sorry. How did you think I was expected to guess that?'
Pam · Jim:Pam/Jim play 'guess the poster on his wall': Austin Powers? Ferris Bueller? 'You're getting colder.' 'Not Night at the Roxbury.' 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green.' 'I'm sorry, how did you think I was expected to guess that?'
Jim · Pam:Jim and Pam's dinner: Pam admits she doesn't know if she wants to move to Philly. Jim: 'Huh.' Long silence. Then: 'This is a little out of left field. Is it?' Another pause. 'I just liked our life in Scranton.' / 'And I have started a business in Philadelphia.'
Jim · Dwight:Dwight enters wearing elaborate mourning attire; Jim says 'New glasses.'

Todd Packer · Jim:Packer introduces cupcakes from a bakery he calls 'Nipples' (it's called 'Nibbles').

Jim · Pam · Phyllis:The entire group's dignity debate devolves into a tangent about whether Supermart's bakery is any good: 'It's awful! And it's getting worse every day.'
Todd Packer · Jim:The group decides Packer is 'officially the worst human being.' Then someone gives him a red velvet cupcake and he apologizes again. 'I should apologize too.' 'It's okay. I'm over it.' Then Packer eats a drugged cupcake from his own stash.
Jim:Dwight is dating a Brussels sprout farmer named Esther. She's coming here this afternoon with her father. Who knows? Maybe she'll be pulling the horse cart.
Jim · Pam:I wonder if she'll start calling you Jim. Oh, boy! Please don't.
Jim:Not that Ryan Howard. The Phillies' first baseman.
Jim:Your screen is all black. You just unplugged your computer.
Jim · Ryan Howard (athlete):Hey, man, how you doing? Jim Halpert. Nice to meet you. Eat fresh.
Dwight · Jim:Esther's on her way up. I wonder if she wants a snack. Let me see. I know she likes apples and carrots. I bet she does. I bet she'll eat 'em right out of your hand with those big, strong teeth.
Jim:I think they're from the forest where we harvest our paper.
Jim · Darryl · Ryan Howard (athlete):Watch this. Eat fresh. Now, what does that make you think of? Subway sandwiches. Yeah. How? I didn't say 'Subway sandwiches.' It's called playing the subtext.
Jim · Darryl · Ryan Howard (athlete):I actually wrote a screenplay. It's called The Big Piece. Based on his nickname. I like it already.
Jim:Okay, everyone, turn off your mikes.
Jim · Darryl · Ryan Howard (athlete):"Together we will win this baseball game against the Evil Space Yankees. Eat fresh." That'll pay for the exploding helicopter. Smart.
Jim:'A bunch of hot women go, Oh, yeah!'
Jim · Ryan Howard (athlete):"Megan, I was too shy to tell you this when I was just a normal professional baseball player, but I love you." "They kiss. It is super emotional. Like in Toy Story."
Jim · Darryl:I tell you what. It's really strong. Can't wait to read the rest of it later, see how it ends. It's so strong. Keep reading then.
Jim · Darryl · Ryan Howard (athlete):We can look into it. We'll look into it. We need Darth. We gotta get him. Go after Darth then. We're gonna go get him. That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna go get him.
Andy · Jim · Darryl:Good night, Andy. Yeah. See ya. Oh! What?
Jim:I hope you got sound on everything. I'd love a DVD of that.
Jim · Toby:Jim asks Toby about his divorce — Toby's exaggerated 'Whoa' followed by 'Oh yeah, no, it's okay. I can handle it.'
Jim:Jim: 'No, no, no, no. We're just starting couples counseling. Uh, which doesn't sound any better.'
Jim · Clark:Jim chasing Clark out: 'Clark, get outta here. My mistake. Yes, it is your mistake. He's lingering. So annoying. I'm gonna kill him.'
Jim · Pam:Jim and Pam's counseling scene intercut: both arguing their sides of the same incidents without hearing each other
Toby · Jim:Post-counseling: Toby mutters 'Blah blah blah blah.' Jim: 'Well, they deserve each other, then.' Both: 'That they do. That they do.'
Jim:I did. I got some really good sleep. Did you? Zzz...
Jim · Pam:Jim and Pam's couples therapy homework: forced 'acknowledge and appreciate' language in mundane conversation about tea
Pam · Jim:And we are also supposed to speak our truths. Mmm-hmm. Because if I had spoken my truth earlier about not wanting to move to Philly, then maybe we wouldn't have had this opportunity for couples therapy.
Jim · Nellie:Not one of us remembers you saying anything about $2,000. / I forgot. I completely forgot.
Jim:But at least now that large piece of cardboard that man was carrying around makes sense.
Jim · Pam:An Earl Grey tea for the lady. Oh, thank you. Um... I acknowledge and appreciate that you went out of your way to get me tea.
Jim:But, to speak my truth, it wasn't out of the way, because I felt like a tea anyway, so one trip.
Jim · Pam:Well, you know how much I appreciate the opportunity to hang out with your mom more, so let me just put this in my calendar. / I acknowledge with gratitude that you are being kind and responsible enough to include it in your calendar. / Thank you. Your mom is a treasure.
Jim · Pam:Jim takes a phone call mid-therapy homework conversation; Pam calls it out; Jim says 'I appreciate the sacrifice' sarcastically
Pam · Jim:I've been putting the kids to bed by myself every night for months. And you had to miss one phone call. Is that your truth, Jim? That's really your truth? / I guess I will swallow my truth.
Jim:Jim takes time off from Philly work to be with Pam, describing phone ringing off the hook, then pivoting to 'This does. It's the only thing that matters.' followed by 'Nice morning, too. Beesly. Oh, my God.'
Pete · Jim:Pete greets Jim: 'So, Big Tuna, what's up? Back in the small pond?' Jim: 'For now, yeah.' Pete: 'Thin-sliced Tuna. Carpaccio. Go on.'
Jim:'David Walrus in his native habitat.' — Jim's aside upon seeing David Wallace
Jim · Clark · Pete:Jim returns to his old desk; Clark is sitting there and doesn't want to give it up: 'I've actually been working pretty hard here on a daily basis. So I kind of feel like I've earned this.' Jim: 'You totally have. You have earned it. But maybe I could be with my wife.' Clark: 'Right. Well, I'm here to sell paper.' Jim: 'Burn.'
Jim · Clark:Jim asks Clark: 'What do you need more face time with Wallace for? You trying to get a second second job here?'
Jim · Clark:Jim banishes Clark to the annex, then adds: 'Be careful. It is very easy to get lost in Pete's beautiful, dead eyes.'
Jim · Pete:Pete to Jim: 'Hey, how am I doing as your desk mate, by the way? You probably miss Clark.' Jim: 'Yeah, a little bit.' Pete: 'Wow.' Jim: 'No, no. I get it.' Pete: 'It's cool, man. I'm sure you and I will have our own thing.' Jim: 'Yeah. Definitely. Go Phillies, right?' Pete: 'You don't watch baseball. I keep forgetting that.'
Dwight · Sensei Billy · Jim:Dwight: 'Sensei, do you generally do house calls like this?' Billy: 'You can just call me Billy. And no. No, but Dwight insisted. He wanted to receive his black belt in the place he loves most in the world. He said that?' [Billy nods] 'He's an odd guy, isn't he?' 'Yes.' 'Irritating? Also yes.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight and Jim interact over office supplies. Dwight: 'If you want to get rid of a headache, you sit on something sharp. Any sensei will tell you that.'
David Wallace · Jim:Wallace to Dwight: 'I've been considering you for manager. Am I crazy?' Jim: 'Not at all. It should be Dwight.' Wallace: 'You sure?' Jim: 'You're going to want to invest in a lot more liability insurance, but... Yeah.'
Jim · Pam:Jim goes to Pam's desk with a fake 'question' — their entire interaction is a romantic dance of pretending he didn't just come back for her
Jim · Dwight:Jim demonstrates reverse stapling to Dwight: 'The staple crimps outward.' Dwight: 'And here I've been stapling the same way for 20 years like a frickin' sheep.'
Jim · Dwight · Pete:Jim and Dwight banter about a double date with Pete and his girlfriend. When Thursday is suggested, both Jim and Dwight immediately cite scheduling conflicts. 'Just forget it. Forget I said anything.' Jim stares at camera. [Awkward silence]
Jim · David Wallace · Dwight:Wallace offers Jim 'assistant regional manager.' Jim: 'Nope. Can't accept that job. It's not a real job.' Jim: 'I'll tell you what I could accept is assistant to the regional manager. That is a real job, and one I'd be proud to take.' Wallace: 'Shake on it?' Jim: 'Done. Way to negotiate, idiot.'
Andy · Jim:Andy changes his mind AGAIN and announces he's going with his dream — 'Gotta go all in. Ain't that right, Jim?' Jim: 'Oh. Don't look at me, 'cause I think you're making a terrible choice.' Andy: 'All in! Whoo!'
Jim:Jim hears the Athlead offer: they want to pitch across the whole country — three months. Jim: 'Yeah, I can't do it.' His partners: 'Can't do what?' Jim: 'This, man. I can't do this to Pam.'

Jim · Dwight:Jim and Dwight's confessional pre/post-meeting ritual: 'Preconference room meeting with Dwight went really well.' / 'Oh. Bodes well for the post-conference room meeting.' / 'All depends on the conference room meeting itself.'
Jim · Dwight:Jim's 'Michael J. Fax from fax to the future' bit — laying out hypothetical nonsense to illustrate what zero nonsense means

Dwight · Pam · Jim:Pam answers the mind-reading challenge with 'Saved by the Bell' theme — Dwight: 'It was the theme song to Boy Meets World.' Then Jim objects: 'You're trying to give your wife this job.' Dwight: 'That's exactly what I was doing.'

Dwight · Jim:Dwight asks Jim to kneel for the AARM investiture: 'I think you might want to kneel for this.' Jim: 'And yet, the manager for Dunder Mifflin kneels for no man.'
Dwight · Jim:Dwight's marriage proposal to Angela — the business pitch format: 'She's young, she's beautiful. Genes so pure you could lick them.' / 'Her family admires me. My family tolerates hers. A lot of them are the same people because we're third cousins, which is great for bloodlines, and isn't technically incest.'
Dwight · Jim:She weaves. Colorful, durable blankets and rugs. It all adds up. / So what is the problem? / Angela.
Jim · Dwight:Dwight's love advice exchange with Jim: 'Every instinct, every rational calculation.' Jim: 'Some sort of virus?' / 'Love.' / 'Oh.'

I couldn't close it, so--' / 'So, you've come to the master for guidance? Is this what you're saying, grasshopper?' / 'Uh, actually, you called me in here.'
Jim:Dwight is imitating Japanese business practices, for reasons he explained to us in Japanese.
Jim:Dwight has made me his bestisch Mensch, which is Schrute for 'best man.' He is putting himself entirely in my hands tonight, and I know, for over 12 years, I've done nothing but trick and prank him. But tonight? Only good surprises.
Jim:Great, now we've got three hours to fill.
Jim:Mose has been weird? That's so unlike him.
New employee · Jim:That's the reason Kevin got fired. It's his magic number. He used to call it a 'keleven.' He told Dwight, 'A mistake plus keleven gets you home by 7:00.' He was home by 4:45 that day.
Pam · Jim:You remember my two Lap-Band surgeries, right? Neither do I. Guten prank number one.

Jim · Mose:Guten prank. / Yes, Mose. / Guten prank number three.
Jim · Pam:I guess this was worth being filmed nonstop for nine years.
Darryl · Jim:Yeah, people hate you. / I'll go talk to the manager.
Audience member · Pam · Jim:Jim, that DVD in the last episode was so romantic. And I think we'd all love to know, Pam, what romantic thing did you do to pay Jim back for leaving Athlead?
Jim · Dwight:The minister just told me that it's tradition for the bestisch Mensch to be older than the groom. Oh, come on. I've never heard of such a thing. I haven't heard of it, obviously.
Officiant · Jim:As is traditional to the Schrutes, the lovers are standing in their own graves, as a reminder that this is the only escape from what they are about to do. / See, I get what they're trying to do, but why are the graves so shallow?
Jim:Michael has so many pictures of his kids, he had to get two phones with two numbers, and he pays two bills. / He's just so happy to have a family plan.
Jim · Pam:I mean, you were going to do this without me? / Well, you bought the house without telling me, so I thought I could sell it without telling you.
Jim:That's why it's so clean.
Jim:I didn't watch the whole documentary. After a few episodes, it was too painful. I kept wanting to scream at Pam.
Dwight · Jim · Pam:Hey, what do you say when I get back from our honeymoon, the three of us have a conference room meeting just for fun? / What is that meaningful look?
Jim · Dwight:And, hey, if you're ever in Austin... / Oh, right, for what? The art? The music? The incredible night life? / No, thank you. / But if you're ever in the area, you'll always have a place to stay, in my barn.
