    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4956

  60. Dwight

    Nice.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4957

  61. Pam

    One is tall and brunette, and the other one is short, and blonde, and perky, and kinda judgmental. Who do you think he should choose?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4958

  62. Dwight

    Does he have access to their medical records?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4959

  63. Pam

    Ummmm...

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4960

  64. Dwight

    I think one of the greatest things about modern America is the computerization of medical records. As a volunteer sheriff, I can look up anyone's psychiatric records or surgical histories. Yeast infections. There are a huge number of yeast infections in this county. Probably because we are down river from that old bread factory.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4967

  71. Angela

    No. Are we supposed to?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4968

  72. Pam

    No. I mean, I don't know, I don't think so.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4969

  73. Angela

    Hmm... Excuse me.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4970

  74. Pam

    Oh.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4971

  75. Michael

    There's always a distance between a boss and the employees. It is just nature's rule. It's intimidation mostly, it's the awareness that they are not me. I do think that I am very approachable, as one of the guys. But maybe I need to be even approachabler.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4972

  76. Kevin

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4976

  80. Jim

    Uh hum.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4977

  81. Michael

    Hot, tasty. Reminds me of college. Lived on this stuff. Brain food. Mmmm... You know what I really, really miss about college? The parties. Everybody'd go. The athletes, the, the nerds, professors.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4978

  82. Pam

    The professors would go to the parties?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4979

  83. Michael

    Yeah! They were the most fun. We always invited them.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4980

  84. Jim

    It's true. I'm having a party. I've got three cases of imported beer, a karaoke machine, and I didn't invite Michael. So three ingredients for a great party. And it's nothing personal, I just think that if he were there, people wouldn't be able to relax, and you know, have fun, and my roommate wants to meet everybody. Because I'm pretty sure he thinks that I'm making Dwight up. He is very real.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4981

  85. Pam

    What? Ohhhh... Yes! Thank you!

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4985

  89. Jim

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4986

  90. Dwight

    Why?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4987

  91. Jim

    Because not everybody knows about the party.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4988

  92. Dwight

    Like who? Who doesn't know?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4989

  93. Jim

    Umm, Michael.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4990

  94. Dwight

    Why just Michael?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Quote 4991

  95. Jim

    Because it's a surprise.
