And, um, what you do, you don't just have the egg yolks, it's not like a Rocky thing. You do like hard boiled eggs and I got one a those melon ballers and I, it's just like a little ice cream scoop, and I just scoop out the middle of the egg and just pop it in my mouth. I don't even, I don't even use a plate anymore. Uh, the first couple weeks I did, but you know what, boom, I keep a melon baller in my desk so if I have a hard boiled egg I know, I know! But you know what? It's perfect. I know it sounds ridiculous, it sounds ridiculous, but you know what? Dr. David Friendly, he came up with this thing. The guy, I think he was like four hundred pounds when he started, and he started with this... I, well, the melon baller was my idea.

  35. My boss is coming in today, the lovely Jan Levinson-Gould will, well, no Gould. The Gould has been swack, divorced. Um, the awkward part is that this will be the first time that we'll be seeing each other since, well, uh, it was really nothing. We just sort of got caught up in the moment. The vulnerable divorcee gives herself to the understanding, with rugged good-looks, office manager. Just, uh, she didn't want it to continue for some reason. It, we both, I didn't want it, we both didn't want it to continue. Was not professional. Um, when people say something's mutual, it never is. But this was mutual.

But, but, 'We're just gonna talk business. And I may come down and fire you if you don't do your job.' But what were talking about when we first kissed? Business.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4623

  76. No, no, no, I finished all of that. I'm very fast. I'm not too fast. Not like wham-bam-thank ya ma'am. But I do say thank ya ma'am. But, I'm, I'm not like wham-bam. Not that there's anything wrong with wham-bam. If it's consensual. We're talking about office stuff. Can I ask you a question?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4625

  77. This is a business question. It's nothing personal, I promise.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4627

  80. I don't understand- Hold on. Sorry. Yes, Pam.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4642

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4646

  83. No, it's in like ten minutes.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4648

  84. Why are we here? Because I value your opinions. Now, I know a lot of don't think that I read your suggestions, but I do. I just sift through them every week and I really look and scrutinize to see what you guys are writing. Um, so, let's, uh, just read some of these suckers. Alright. Number one: 'What should we do to prepare for Y2K?'

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4651

  85. Well, obviously this one got stuck in the box. That happens occasionally.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4654

  86. And, um, one down. Next suggestion: 'we need better outreach for employees fighting depression'. Ok, alright, enough with the jokes. Nobody in here is suffering from depression.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4656

  87. Oh, ok, well, yeah, who wrote it?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4658

  88. Tom. Then it is a joke because there is nobody in here named Tom.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4660

  89. Oh, that guy? That guy was weird. Alright, next suggestion.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4662

  90. Arrr, dooby dooby do. 'You need to do something about your B.O.'

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4664

  91. Ok, I don't know who this suggestion is meant for, but it's more of a personal suggestion and it's not an office suggestion. Far be it for me to use this as a platform to embarrass anybody.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4666

  92. Well, Toby, if by me you are inferring that I have B.O., then I would say that is a very poor choice of words.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4668

  93. Was I, Creed?! Ok, well, you know what? I am implying is that when we're on an elevator together, I should maybe take the stairs, because talk about stank. Not that I would ever say something like that in public, and I never have, and I never will. I just think it's something that we should all be aware of. Ok? Now that we've learned this, let's continue. See, this is good, we're learning and we're figuring some stuff out. 'You need to do something about your coffee breath'-

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4670

  94. Ok.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4672

  95. Shut up, shut up, shut up, Dwight, OK. I don't think you people are grasping the concept of the suggestion box.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4674

  96. Yeah, is that hard for you? Alright, well-

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4676

  97. I'll work on that-

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4678

  98. Let's keep going. Keep it going. Yep. What do we have here? We have somebody's piece of gum. Somebody put a piece of gum in there. This is not a, a garbage can, this is the future of our company. This is not a place for gum. I don't wanna have to read these tomorrow.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4680

  99. Yeah, what? Uh, alright, next suggestion.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Quote 4682
