  54. Jim

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4951

  55. Pam

  56. Jim

    [humming]

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4953

  57. Pam

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4954

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4955

  59. Pam

    Hey, Dwight, um, my friend is kinda into these two girls that he works with.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4956

  60. Dwight

    Nice.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 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 · Line 4958

  62. Dwight

    Does he have access to their medical records?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4959

  63. Pam

    Ummmm...

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 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 · Line 4961

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4966

  70. Pam

    Listen, are you bringing anyone to Jim's party tonight?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4967

  71. Angela

    No. Are we supposed to?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4968

  72. Pam

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

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4969

  73. Angela

    Hmm... Excuse me.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4970

  74. Pam

    Oh.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 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 · Line 4972

  76. Kevin

    That's pretty young.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4973

    Of course. Hangin' with my crew, crew that I am one of. Hangin' with my Cup of Noodles. This is a meal in a cup.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4976

  80. Jim

    Uh hum.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 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 · Line 4978

  82. Pam

    The professors would go to the parties?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4979

  83. Michael

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

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 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 · Line 4981

  85. Pam

    What? Ohhhh... Yes! Thank you!

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4982

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4984

  88. Dwight

    I was wondering-

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4985

  89. Jim

    Could, keep that down.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4986

  90. Dwight

    Why?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4987

  91. Jim

    Because not everybody knows about the party.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4988

  92. Dwight

    Like who? Who doesn't know?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4989

  93. Jim

    Umm, Michael.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4990

  94. Dwight

    Why just Michael?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4991

  95. Jim

    Because it's a surprise.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4992

  96. Dwight

    Is it?

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4993

  97. Jim

    Uh hmm.

  98. Dwight

    Oh, that's perfect!

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4995

  99. Jim

    So, don't tell.

    Season 2 · Episode 9 · Line 4996

  100. Dwight

    I won't.
