    Could you please sign my expense report?

  11. Michael

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31394

    You're trying to trick me.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31398

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31399

  17. Michael

    Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31400

    I'd like to lodge a complaint.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31401

  19. Jim

    I'm sorry to hear about that. Who is this about?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31402

  20. Dwight

    You!

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31403

  21. Jim

    Okay. Just want to let you know I take complaints very seriously. So... When did this happen?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31404

  22. Dwight

    One minute ago.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31405

  23. Jim

    Okay. And how do you feel?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31406

  24. Dwight

    Angry.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31407

  25. Jim

    All right. Did he hit you?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31408

  26. Dwight

    No.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31409

  27. Jim

    Did you cry?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31410

  28. Dwight

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31411

  29. Jim

    Did you feel like crying?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31412

  30. Dwight

    No.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31413

  31. Jim

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31414

  32. Dwight

    Wait, stop writing that. That is not true.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31415

  33. Jim

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31416

  34. Dwight

    I'm not cr-- uhh!

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31418

  36. Erin

    Dwight, Jim wants you to keep it down.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31420

  38. Jim

    Michael...

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31421

  39. Michael

    Yes?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31422

  40. Jim

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31423

  41. Michael

    Mmm, sure, but could I first talk to you in my office?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31424

  42. Stanley

    Can I also be a boss?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31426

  44. Jim

    I have noticed that we--

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31427

  45. Michael

    Welcome.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31428

  46. Jim

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31429

  47. Michael

    Mm-hmm.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31430

  48. Jim

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31431

  49. Michael

    Disruptive.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31432

  50. Jim

    Yes.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31433

  51. Michael

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31434

  52. Jim

    Okay, maybe we should talk specifics.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31435

  53. Michael

    Let's do.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31436

  54. Jim

    Okay. Yesterday, we had a meeting about planets.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31438

  56. Jim

    I am.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31439

  57. Michael

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31440

  58. Jim

    Right.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31442

  60. Jim

    Yes, I agree.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31443

  61. Michael

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31444

  62. Jim

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31446

  64. Jim

    You mean on a weekend?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31447

  65. Michael

    Yes.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31449

  67. Michael

    Alright. No more meetings this week.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31450

  68. Jim

    Really? You just agreed to that?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31451

  69. Michael

    I can be very suprising.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31452

  70. Phyllis

    What's going on?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31453

  71. Pam

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31455

  73. Phyllis

    Hey, did you guys register for wedding gifts?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 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 · Line 31458

  76. Phyllis

    Perfect. I hate registries.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31459

  77. Pam

    Oh, good.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31461

  79. Pam

    No, we're not.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31462

  80. Phyllis

    Good. Good.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31463

  81. Michael

    Mm-hmm?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31464

  82. Jim

    Okay, I thought I saw people missing.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31465

  83. Michael

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31466

  84. Jim

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31467

  85. Michael

    Stanley, you don't need to answer that.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31468

  86. Jim

    Stanley?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31469

  87. Stanley

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31470

  88. Jim

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31471

  89. Michael

    What do you mean by 'these people'?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31472

  90. Jim

    Michael, this is a conference room meeting.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31474

  92. Jim

    That's not what I meant.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 31476

  94. Jim

    I disagree.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31477

  95. Michael

    What do you guys think?

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31478

  96. Jim

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

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 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 · Line 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 · Line 31481

  99. Michael

    That is not what Wallace told us.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31482

  100. Jim

    That's exactly what Wallace told us.

    Season 6 · Episode 3 · Line 31483
