    It's performance review day, company-wide. Last year, my performance review started with Michael asking me what my hopes and dreams were, and it ended with him telling me he could bench-press 190 pounds. So, I don't really know what to expect.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4510

    And I want you to listen to a voicemail from my boss. 'Michael, it's Jan. I guess I missed you. I'll, uh, be there this afternoon for performance reviews. I hope it's understood that that will be our only topic of discussion. See you soon.' First impressions?

  20. Pam

    Uh, just off the top... I think she'll be here this afternoon.

    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.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4517

  22. Michael

    'I guess I missed you.' I guess I missed you. So, she misses me?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4518

  23. Pam

    She missed you.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4519

  24. Michael

    But then she goes on to say 'that will be our only topic of discussion'. That doesn't mean anything, those are just words.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4520

  25. Pam

    I have one idea of what it means.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4521

  26. Michael

    Ok. Yeah, what, what?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4522

  27. Pam

    Well I don't think you're gonna be very happy with this.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4523

  28. Michael

    Ohhh, great. Well, now I'm in a terrible mood. Let's do your performance review-

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4524

  29. Pam

    Because she's conflicted. She has to be professional, but she's fighting feelings... for you.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4525

  30. Michael

    Ah, why, that's great news? That, that, then why would, why would I not like that?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4526

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4534

    Yeah, it's a new product. So, you should just suggest that to him and he'll be sure to give you a raise.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4535

  40. Jim

    Alright... well, I'm not asking for a raise. I'm gonna actually be asking for a pay decrease.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4536

  41. Dwight

    Uh, that is so stupid. What if he gives it to you?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4537

  42. Jim

    I win.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4538

  43. Dwight

    Ugh, you know what? I am going to zone you out for the rest of today. I need to stay focused, and I don't have to see you tomorrow or Sunday and please don't call me, and we'll see how things go on Monday. Uh, stupid.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4539

  44. Jim

    Wait, wait; one thing. Uh, by tomorrow, you mean Saturday, right?

    Today is Thursday. But Dwight thinks that it's Friday. And that's what I'll be working on this afternoon.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4543

  48. Stanley

    Sometimes women say more in their pauses than they say in their words.

  49. Michael

    Really?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4545

  50. Stanley

    Oh, yes. Let's listen to it again. And this time, really listen to the pauses.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4546

  51. Michael

    God, Stanley, that's frickin' brilliant. How do you know that? Did you learn that on the streets? Sorry.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4547

  52. Stanley

    Oh, no, that's ok. I did learn it on the streets. On the ghetto, in fact.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4548

  53. Michael

    No kidding.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4549

  54. Stanley

    Good work, Stanley. Great performance review. Stanley in the house, everybody. Woo! Angela, your turn.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4556

  61. Angela

    I actually look forward to performance reviews. I did the youth beauty pageant circuit. And I enjoyed that quite a bit. I really enjoy being judged. I believe I hold up very well to even severe scrutiny.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4557

  62. Pam

    Michael?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4558

  63. Michael

    Yeah?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4559

  64. Pam

    Jan's on the phone for you.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4560

  65. Michael

    Oh; Angela, you were totally satisfactory this year.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4561

  66. Michael

    Interesting. Jan is calling me. Maybe it wasn't so mutual after all. Yeah?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4562

  67. Jan

    Michael.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4563

  68. Michael

    Jan! To what do I owe this pleasure?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4564

  69. Jan

    I am returning your many calls.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4565

  70. Michael

    Well, hello to you, too. Um, yeah, I was just um, I just wanted to get some closure on uh, what transpired between us at the meeting we had in the parking lot of the Chili's.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4566

  71. Jan

    No. No, we won't be discussing that, Michael. The only things I wanna talk about during your performance review are your concrete ideas to improve your branch.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4567

  72. Michael

    Well, surely this uh, review is a formality because of what happened uh, at our meeting in the parking lot of Chili's.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4568

  73. Jan

    Uh, your review is anything but a formality, Michael.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4569

  74. Michael

    Oh.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4570

  75. Jan

    I expect you to forget anything that you think may have happened between us and exhibit completely professional behavior.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4571

  76. Michael

    Been thinking about you.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4572

  77. Jan

    Ok, that is an example of completely unprofessional behavior.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4573

  78. Michael

    Um, I don't see how that's unprofessional. Just-

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4574

  79. Jan

    Michael.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4575

  80. Michael

    Yep.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4576

  81. Jan

    Are the cameras with you...

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4577

  82. Michael

    No.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4578

  83. Jan

    ...in your office?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4579

  84. Michael

    They are not. Yes, they are. That's my girlfriend.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4580

  85. Kevin

    I heard they made out and had sex.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4581

  86. Oscar

    No, they just made out. That's it.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4582

  87. Kevin

    Well, I heard they made out

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4583

  88. Angela

    Don't talk about it. Office romances are nobody's business but the people involved.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4584

  89. Kevin

    Romances?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4585

  90. Michael

    Pam, I have ideas on a daily basis. I know I do. I have a clear memory of telling people my ideas. Um, is there any chance you wrote any of my ideas down? In a folder? A 'Michael-idea' folder?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4586

  91. Pam

    Sorry.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4587

  92. Michael

    That's unfortunate. How 'bout the suggestion box? There's tons of ideas in there.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4588

  93. Pam

    What suggestion box?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4589

  94. Michael

    The suggestion box that I put out, and people could be put in suggestions anonymously? Maybe there's prizes?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4590

  95. Pam

    Oh, yeah. Uh, I think I remember that from back from when I first started.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4591

  96. Michael

    Why don't you find it and tell people to get theirs... never mind, I'll tell them. Hello, everybody? Yeah, uh, attention, please. Jan Levinson's coming, very soon, and so, we're going to have our weekly suggestion box meeting, so you can all get your constructive compliments in a.s.a.p.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4592

  97. Ryan

    Don't you mean constructive criticism?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4593

  98. Michael

    What did I say?

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4594

  99. Kelly

    You said 'constructive complements'; that doesn't make any sense.

    Season 2 · Episode 8 · Line 4595

  100. Michael

    Well, Kelly, that was neither constructive nor a compliment, so maybe you should stop criticizing my English and start making some suggestions. 'K?
