Also:

Andy: What? You stupid idiot! [Andy honks his horn] You're like, you're like a Sasquatch! You live in the woods...

Dwight: Sasquatches are the strongest animal on the planet! So fine, call me a Sasquatch!

Probably the greatest single conversation from the entire show



Jim: Hey, Ryan. How's it going?

Ryan: [playing Tetris on his computer] Here's the thing. Um, I've tried it like five different ways in my head and - Oh, got one. Um, I'm such a perfectionist...

Jim: Mmm-hmm.

Ryan: That I'd kinda rather not do it all then do a crappy version.

Jim: Simple data entry, though. So there's really only one way to do it.

Ryan: Sounds like you have a really specific vision for it. Do you wanna maybe just take a whack at it?

Jim: You know what?

Ryan: What?

Jim: I think I know the problem.

Ryan: Great.

Jim: I think you seem distracted.

Ryan: Yep, that is a problem.

Jim: But, you know what? I came up with something and I think it's really gonna help.

Ryan: Well, I'm glad you're finally being proactive, Jim.

quote:

Dwight: Wait a minute, Darryl is the client? ...No, no, no. He works here, dumbass.

Then he moves Ryan to a closet with a computer with no internet access.

I laugh my arse off at Ryan during the whole convo. He is just such a perfect dick. Then Jim just slaps him in front the whole office with the closet move

Still love this short clip after the basketball game was over.


It gets overlooked sometimes because it was in season 1, but there is so much gold from that episode.

quote:

Michael: OK, so, let's put together a starting line-up, shall we? Stanley of course.
Stanley: I'm sorry?
Michael: Um, what do you play? Center?
Stanley: Why "of course"? What's that supposed to mean?
Michael: Uh, I don't know. I don't remember saying that.
Jim: Uh, I heard it.
Michael: Well, people hear a lot of things, man. Um... other starters... Me, of course. I heard it that time.


Then there's Michael shouting "What is wrong with me today? Usually hit those." after constantly missing half court shots.

To me this is one of the best conversations that it isn't often talked about. Carell's delivery in this scene is perfect.

Phyllis: I have a friend who's single.
Michael: Oh?
Phyllis: Sandy. She's gorgeous and she's got a feisty personality.
Michael: Fiesty, huh? Not jolly or sassy? Like a jolly sassy opera singer?
Phyllis: No, she's a professional softball player.
Michael: Ugh...catcher or infield?
Phyllis: Oh, I don't know Michael...
Michael: Is she a dress wearer or a pants wearer?
Phyllis:..........
Michael: Could we share a rowboat? Could a rowboat support her?
Phyllis: What are you asking?
Michael: I think I'm being pretty clear what I'm asking. Could an average-sized rowboat support her without capsizing?
Phyllis:..........
Michael: It bothers me that you're not answering the question.
Phyllis: No! All right! No, she can't fit in a rowboat!
Michael: Damnit! I knew it! I knew it, Phyllis!

I use the rowboat comparison in everyday conversation as often as possible.

When Andy becomes the new boss he decides to call Oscar C-Span. "Yeah, C-Span — cocker spaniel. Spaniel because of your Spanish bloodline and cocker because…" and then Andy slowly backs away while looking uncomfortable and saying nothing further.

When they have to park way down the street.

Andy: "I left my cell phone in the car."

Phyllis: "Call us when you get there so we know you're ok."

When Micheal throws Oscar a welcome back party, Micheal asks Oscar, "Does this remind you of your childhood?". Oscar responds, "It reminds me of The Three Amigos with Steve Martin and Chevy Chase" as if to say it reminds him of a caricature of Mexican culture, but Micheal takes it as a complement of it's authenticity and responds "Thank you Oscar. That means a lot."

May not be underrated, but it's one of my favorite moments, and there isn't a word spoken:

Just saw that one too. It's not only that he says he doesn't need the blindfold. It's the way he dismisses it as if the idea of blindfolding him was idiotic.

Darryl: Mike gave me a list of his top ten Springsteen songs. Three of them were Huey Lewis and the News. One was Tracy Chapman, Fast Car. And my personal favorite, Short People.

Michael explaining why the Dundies are important

quote:

Michael: An employee will go home, and he'll tell his neighbor, "Hey, did you get an award?" And the neighbor will say, "No man. I mean, I slave all day and nobody notices me." Next thing you know, employee smells something terrible coming from neighbor's house. Neighbor's hanged himself due to lack of recognition. So.

SIAP:

I find it hysterical that Michael pours sugar into his Diet Coke. He does it throughout the series.
