  20. Dwight

    You!

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31403

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31404

    One minute ago.

    I'm just gonna write 'held back tears.'

  32. Dwight

    Wait, stop writing that. That is not true.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31415

  33. Jim

    If you stop crying, I'll stop writing it.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31416

  34. Dwight

    I'm not cr-- uhh!

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31417

  35. Dwight

    I deserved that promotion, not Jim. Oh, man. Makes me want to put him in a triangle choke hold and force him down to the ground and just keep pressing and pressing. And then flip him over and then put him in a hammer lock! And he's gasping, he's panting! Every last breath! And the crowd is going crazy. And boom! I emerge victorious! Aha! $18,000 and a chance at the title! Ooh hah!

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31418

  36. Erin

    Dwight, Jim wants you to keep it down.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31419

  37. Michael

    Everyone, now would be a good time to freshen up, because I'd like everyone to meet in the conference room in five minutes. And I suggest that you bring a snack, because we may be in there for a while.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31420

  38. Jim

    Michael...

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31421

  39. Michael

    Yes?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31422

  40. Jim

    Can I talk to you in my office for a second?

    Can I also be a boss?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31425

  43. Oscar

    Look, it doesn't take a genius to know that any organization thrives when it has two leaders. Go ahead, name a country that doesn't have two presidents. A boat that sets sail without two captains. Where would Catholicism be without the popes?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31426

  44. Jim

    I have noticed that we--

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31427

  45. Michael

    Welcome.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31428

  46. Jim

    Thank you. I've noticed we've been having a lot of conference room meetings.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31429

  47. Michael

    Mm-hmm.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31430

  48. Jim

    And I'm wondEring if perhaps those are a bit, um--

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31431

  49. Michael

    Disruptive.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31432

  50. Jim

    Yes.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31433

  51. Michael

    No, I don't think they are. I think the meetings are very important.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31434

  52. Jim

    Okay, maybe we should talk specifics.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31435

  53. Michael

    Let's do.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31436

  54. Jim

    Okay. Yesterday, we had a meeting about planets.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31437

  55. Michael

    N-- well, to be fair, Jim... James... Jimothy... To be fair, Jimothy, the-- ah, that sounds weird. Are you okay with being called Jim?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31438

  56. Jim

    I am.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31439

  57. Michael

    Alright. Jim, to be fair, the conversation wasn't about planets...

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31440

  58. Jim

    Right.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31441

  59. Michael

    At first, we were talking about introducing a line of toilet paper. And what part of the human body does one use toilet paper upon? So you draw a line from there to the other planets, and I think by the end, we all learned a little bit about how small we are.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31442

  60. Jim

    Yes, I agree.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31443

  61. Michael

    Because it's a big universe, and we're all just little, tiny specks of dust.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31444

  62. Jim

    I just think that maybe they're eating large amounts of the day.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31445

  63. Michael

    You know what eats a large amount of the day are naps. You go to sleep, it's light out, you wake up, it's dark. That's the whole day. Where did that day go? I have no idea.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31446

  64. Jim

    You mean on a weekend?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31447

  65. Michael

    Yes.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31448

  66. Jim

    How about this? I think our goal should be we don't have meetings unless they're absolutely essential.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31449

  67. Michael

    Alright. No more meetings this week.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31450

  68. Jim

    Really? You just agreed to that?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31451

  69. Michael

    I can be very suprising.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31452

  70. Phyllis

    What's going on?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31453

  71. Pam

    I need to fit into my wedding dress. However, I'm also pregnant.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31454

  72. Ryan

    You know, it's a myth that women have to gain more than nine pounds in a pregnancy. Look at these actresses. Some of them lose weight.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31455

  73. Phyllis

    Hey, did you guys register for wedding gifts?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31456

  74. Pam

    We did, but mostly because people expect us to. We're also accepting other gifts not on the registry... However much.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31457

  75. Pam

    It's awkward asking people for money, but we could really use it. Why doesn't Crate & Barrel let you register for a toaster full of cash?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31458

  76. Phyllis

    Perfect. I hate registries.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31459

  77. Pam

    Oh, good.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31460

  78. Phyllis

    My cousin makes the most amazing romantic birdhouse mailboxes. I know I shouldn't tell you, but you'll still be suprised when you see it. You're not registered for a birdhouse, are you?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31461

  79. Pam

    No, we're not.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31462

  80. Phyllis

    Good. Good.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31463

  81. Michael

    Mm-hmm?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31464

  82. Jim

    Okay, I thought I saw people missing.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31465

  83. Michael

    Yeah, just focus-grouping a product expansion idea to these folks. Got one of each.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31466

  84. Jim

    Really? Hey, Stanley, what was the last thing Michael said before I came through the door?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31467

  85. Michael

    Stanley, you don't need to answer that.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31468

  86. Jim

    Stanley?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31469

  87. Stanley

    If you don't smell this, you're fired.'

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31470

  88. Jim

    Okay, Michael, I thought we agreed to not take up people's time with meetings like these.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31471

  89. Michael

    What do you mean by 'these people'?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31472

  90. Jim

    Michael, this is a conference room meeting.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31473

  91. Michael

    Oh, hey, everybody, I think that Jim has gone insane, because he thinks that my office is a conference room.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31474

  92. Jim

    That's not what I meant.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31475

  93. Michael

    Listen, Jim, no offense, but when push comes to shove, what I want is more important that what you want.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31476

  94. Jim

    I disagree.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31477

  95. Michael

    What do you guys think?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31478

  96. Jim

    Great. Guys, can I just have a moment alone with Michael?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31479

  97. Michael

    No, no, no, you don't need to go anywhere. Anything that Jim has to say to me, he can say in front of these types of people.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31480

  98. Jim

    That is not what I said, and, also, I am co-manager, meaning you are not the only manager anymore. I am also I co-manager.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31481

  99. Michael

    That is not what Wallace told us.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31482

  100. Jim

    That's exactly what Wallace told us.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Quote 31483
