    How'd the run go?

  17. Dwight

    Psh, why is that great?

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11468

  18. Pam

    Because he accomplished something.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11469

  19. Dwight

    What was your mile time?

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11470

  20. Toby

    About seven.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11471

  21. Dwight

    I could beat that on a skateboard.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11472

  22. Toby

    Well, that has wheels.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11473

  23. Dwight

    Yeah, well my feet don't. And I can still crush that time.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11474

  24. Pam

    Really, Dwight? How fast are you?

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11475

  25. Dwight

    Let's just put it this way. Last weekend I outran a black pepper snake.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11476

  26. Pam

    Really?

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11477

  27. Dwight

    I am fast. To give you a reference point. I'm somewhere between a snake and a mongoose. And a panther.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11478

  28. Dwight

    Man, what is taking Toby so long?

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11479

  29. Pam

    Oh, I'll just time him later.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11480

  30. Dwight

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11481

  31. Pam

    Yeah. Are you ready?

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11482

  32. Dwight

    No, my groin...

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11483

  33. Pam

    Set

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11484

  34. Dwight

    ...is really tight.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11485

  35. Pam

    Go!

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11486

  36. Dwight

    I can't...

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11487

  37. Pam

    Am I being mean to Dwight? I don't know. I did just make him run around the building and I have no intention of timing him. This isn't even a stopwatch. It's a digital thermometer. He does make my life harder, sometimes. And on purpose. Like he tried to put meters on the bathroom stalls as a way of bringing in more money for the company. Hey, three more laps to go. Gotta pick it up if you're going to beat Toby.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11488

  38. Dwight

    Aaaaah!

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11489

  43. Dwight

    Karen Filippelli.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11494

  44. Michael

    Karen Filip... Ka-ren Fili-pell-li.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11495

  45. Dwight

    Probably Italian. Possibly Filipino.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11496

  46. Michael

    Okay.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11497

  47. Michael

    My branch is absorbing the Stamford branch. Or, as I like to put it, my family is doubling in size. That's all I'm going to say about it because I have a gigantic performance ahead of me. And I have to get into my head and focus.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11498

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11506

  56. Michael

    I'm not...

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11507

  57. Dwight

    ...to consolidate power.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11508

  58. Michael

    I'm not firing somebody on the first day.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11509

  59. Dwight

    No, no, no! Not somebody. Gardner.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11510

  60. Dwight

    The Japanese camp guards of World War II always chose one man to kill whenever a batch of new prisoners arrived. I always wondered how they chose the man who was to die. I think I would have been good at choosing the person.

    Season 3 · Episode 8 · Line 11541

  91. Andy

    I'll be the Number Two guy here in Scranton in six weeks. How? Name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake. I'm always thinking one step ahead. Like a carpenter that makes stairs.
