Jim · Oscar:Jim: 'He said "I did like Dwight"? He's gonna fire him.' Office Worker: 'No, no, I think it was more like... "I liked him, but I don't any more, 'cause he did a bad job. So I'm definitely gonna yell at him."' Jim: 'Robert doesn't talk like that.'

Oscar:Oscar talking head about Angela/Senator: 'The more I hear about all this a cappella drama, the more I think it's kind of pathetic. But when you're with someone, you put up with the stuff that makes you lose respect for them, and that is love.'
Angela · Oscar:Angela's conversation about Senator Lipton: 'Last night he was so tired, he just wanted a little Mexican brought in.' Oscar reacts with horrified restraint: 'I can't! It's too much!'

Angela · Oscar:The Senator is seen through the yoga studio window clearly making an intimate phone call / interacting in a way that confirms the affair.
Oscar · Angela:It's Robert who's enjoying it. What? This could be the affair you're scared of. Politicians are wonderful liars. You never know who they really are. / But, uh, he's probably not gay. He's straight. He's straight, so...
Angela · Oscar:The Senator is seen outside on a phone call — 'Oh, oh!' — the reaction as it becomes clear something intimate is happening.
Oscar:Yesterday, Angela may or may not have figured out that I am having an affair with her husband. So I just have to wait and see when she comes in, if she's cold and awkward and cruel to me, then great, it's business as usual.
Angela · Oscar:Angela enters and says 'Good morning' warmly — a long pause before Oscar's relieved reaction beat
Angela · Oscar:Angela asks Oscar if it's cool in the office, and Oscar — terrified she's being metaphorical about their situation — over-confirms and immediately pivots to blaming the thermostat.
Oscar:This is a woman who married a man who is obviously a homosexual. Basically she has her head in the sand. In a way I feel sorry for her. I guess the universe rewards true love.
Oscar · Angela:I brought you a cookie. Thanks, Oscar, you're such an angel.
Oscar:I just gave her a cookie, and she called me an angel, so, yeah, we're good. Yeah, we dodged a bullet.
Dwight · Oscar:Oscar! Oscar, good! Listen! Hey, come with me! What? Come with me! What are you doing? There are a bunch of construction workers in the warehouse without their trousers... I'm working. ...drinking diet sodas. You have got to see this. They're extraordinary. Yahtzee!
Trevor · Oscar · Dwight:Sandwich delivery for Mr. Oscar Martinez. / I am Oscar Martinez. / No, not him, outside! Outside!
Dwight · Oscar:There's no time to explain! Dwight... Okay, actually there is time to explain. When Angela found out that you seduced her husband, we hired a guy to break your kneecaps.
Dwight · Oscar:My God! What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? There are a million gorgeous guys in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, and you choose the man who is the father of her child?
Angela · Oscar:You made my husband gay! / What I did was wrong, and I have to live with that every day. But your husband is gay and he was gay when you married him.
Oscar:Angela, it's a lead fricking pipe! God!
Dwight · Oscar:Where does gayness come from and how is it transmitted? My pastor said it can come from breast feeding. He said that? Well, he didn't fight me hard on it.
Dwight · Oscar:What is it called when two men intertwine their penises like the snakes on the medic-alert bracelet? Uh... Is it called Red Vine-ing? We heard it was called Red Vine-ing. People Red-Vine?

Oscar:Someone (Oscar?) says, apropos of nothing: 'Here's the thing about moonlight. It's not sunlight.'

Oscar · Clark:Oscar corrects Clark's pronunciation of 'espresso': 'Actually, it's pronounced espresso.' Clark: 'Wait. That's what you said.' Oscar: 'I apologize. I just assumed you would mispronounce it.'

Oscar · Erin:Oscar to Erin: 'Stocking pens, huh? You're like the new office administrator.' Erin: 'No. I just took over the pen shipment because Pam had to leave. When I say it out loud, I know that sounds insane, but it's the truth.'

Oscar:Oscar's horrified realization: 'What we have? Hmm. I just remembered. I kissed that man.'
Pam · Oscar:Pam asks if anyone wants to see Cece's recital video — Oscar: 'Oh, I would love to, but I am swamped.' / The camera cuts to Oscar doing nothing.
Pam · Oscar · Toby:The video reveals Pam filmed only the introduction and applause — not the actual recital
Oscar:'User error. I've heard it happens to other people.' — Oscar
Oscar:Oscar: 'I'm sure Pam is already kicking herself for choosing a phone call over her child.'
Pam · Oscar:Pam: 'Just don't wanna make assumptions based on people's physical appearances.' Oscar: 'Of course not. But does physical appearance include smell?' Pam: 'They smell so bad.'
Kevin · Oscar · Jim · Pam:Office workers reacting to the candidates: 'I said something when they were thinking of hiring Jim. Didn't work then. Now look what he's doing to us.' / 'Jim, this is all your fault.' Jim: 'How is it my fault?'
Oscar · Pam:Office argument: 'We can't blame a weirdo for bringing in weirdos. We can blame a normal for creating a situation where a weirdo was allowed to bring in weirdos.'
Oscar:Angela's husband and I are in love, but as a politician in this town you still need the conventional blonde wife on your lawn signs.
Angela · Oscar:Well, if you get to bring a stud, maybe I do too. [beat — Oscar's reaction]
Oscar · Pam:The extended exchange about paint colors — 'They used worse paint than your paint.' / 'I don't think so...' / 'They put paint where you didn't want paint' / '...I wanted different-colored paint in the spots where they put their paints'
Oscar:Opening with puff pastries? That's a bold play. They're saying it's only gonna get better from here? Good luck.
Oscar:That painting is just... How can anyone that weighs less than a Guinea hen be so terrifying?
Oscar:Maybe I should be insulted that he only invited me here to be his token Mexican friend, but he could have invited any number of Hispanics that he knows-- his gardener Rohelio, or he could have invited... Rohelio. / Rohelio's Malaysian. / The son of a bitch is Malaysian.
Senator Lipton · Angela · Oscar:The Senator's increasingly frantic photo management — moving Sundeep, Oscar, and a wheelchair user (Margaret) around while Angela fumes, trying to control who appears in the frame

Dwight · Oscar:Oscar shows up at the farm; Dwight says 'Oh, yeah' when reminded he threw red dirt — meaning he accidentally invited Oscar.
Jeb · Oscar:Jeb greets Oscar: 'Hey, moon face. Nice to see those shiny little Chinese eyes of yours.'
Oscar:Oscar's talking-head reaction to Jeb's racist greeting: just 'Bad.'
Dwight · Oscar:Dwight and Oscar argue about the soil quality at the cemetery: 'It's crap soil. Nothing's gonna grow here.' / 'It's a cemetery.' / 'I'm saying it's garbage soil, that's all.'
Dwight · Oscar:Oscar: 'The only thing we're planting here is dead bodies.' Dwight: 'That's fine, cause they're not gonna grow.' Oscar: 'Well, I thank God they're not, because we don't wanna make zombies.' Dwight: 'Good. I agree. Don't worry about it. You won't get any.'
Oscar:Oscar's talking head: 'They're a descriptive people.'
Oscar:Oscar's horrified reaction to Dwight's chicken-neck flirtation while they're at a funeral.

'Cause these are killer chickens.' / 'I was just asking you something I didn't know.' / 'Which is fine, and you learned something. But it was kind of a stupid question, so you're gonna get made fun of a little bit.'
Dwight · Oscar:Oscar: 'Is that a guillotine?' Dwight: 'This? No. That'd be cool though. It's for milking.'
Dwight · Oscar:Oscar asks 'That's a cow?' Dwight: 'Did you just ask me if this was a cow?'
Dwight · Oscar:Dwight teaches Oscar to milk a cow: 'Grab a teat with each hand.' / 'Okay, you suck at this. Gimme those teats.'
Dwight · Oscar:Grab a teat with each hand. Sit down. / There you go. Squeeze from top to bottom. Really pull, use some muscle. Draw the milk out. / Well, is the udder hot? Is the milk clumpy? / I don't know any of that. / Okay, you suck at this. Gimme those teats.
Dwight · Oscar:Dwight: 'Didn't your father teach you anything?' Oscar: 'I never met him.'
Dwight · Oscar:Dwight tells Oscar his kid needs farm time: 'If your kid doesn't put in some farm time, he's gonna stay like that.' Oscar: 'All right, fine.'
Oscar:Just ignore her. Sooner or later, she'll finish.
Oscar:There is much more secret filming than I expected. But I am fine with it, I mean it. I am.
Oscar · Angela:They caught us kissing on Halloween. He was dressed like Ronald Reagan! God. Ow! Angela! Well, he kissed like Jack Kennedy. Oh. Stop it. Stop kissing him.

Andy · Oscar:Carla Fern got me a gig. Hey. Yeah. Who's Carla Fern? Who is Carla Fern? Well... Wow. Uh, she's my agent and my drill sergeant. And one of my best friends.
Andy · Oscar:Andy announces his agent 'Carla Fern'; Oscar asks 'Who's Carla Fern?' — Andy is scandalized
Andy · Oscar:And, Oscar, I already figured out if I have to get emotional in the film, I'm just gonna think about you getting dumped by the Senator. / Why don't you use your own life? Erin just dumped you. / It's a little raw. Not cool, Oscar.
Oscar · Nellie:I mean, sure, times are leaner now that I'm separated from the Senator. But my new studio apartment...is just fine for me and Phillip and Tinkie and Crinklepuss and Bandit Two and Pawlick Baggins and Lady Aragorn and their 10 kittens.

Oscar · Angela:Oscar invites Angela to stay with him. Angela: 'Separate bathrooms.' Then a long beat. Angela: 'Thank you.'
Oscar · Angela:Oscar asks if he's allowed to have pets. 'Oh, Angela.' — the implication being that this is obviously going to cause trouble.

Oscar · Angela:Angela moves into Oscar's apartment. Oscar: 'So is your place all bachelor, slobby and gross?' Oscar: 'Nope, it's neat and tastefully appointed, like most gay men's homes.
