  1. Darryl

    What's wrong with a level playing field?

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38514

  2. Michael

    Do you think they should have had open auditions for the band Hanson? What if no one named Hanson showed up? That wouldn't even make sense. Or what if they just hired the littlest kid and a 50-year-old guy who was a murderer? Really safe.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38515

  3. Jim

    Oh, man, so many points being made.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38516

  4. Creed

    I couldn't care less about nepotism. But, I'm loving the debate. Great minds battling it out. And I've got a front row seat.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38517

  5. Michael

    God, when he needed help on Earth, who did he hire? Jesus Christ, his son.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38518

  6. Erin

    That's a really tight argument.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38519

  7. Michael

    Thank you.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38520

  8. Jim

    But you're comparing you and Luke to God and Jesus.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38521

  9. Michael

    No! No. I'm just saying, why does God get to do something that I don't?

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38522

  10. Oscar

    This is hypothetical. We're talking about Luke who happens to be terrible.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38523

  11. Michael

    Well, then, why aren't you bugging me to fire everybody who's bad? You just want me to fire Luke. That's reverse nepotism. He should not be punished because he is related to me and bad at what he does!

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38524

  12. Kelly

    I would just like to say something off of what Darryl said about the level playing field. That is actually a zoning issue. So, thank you.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38525

  13. Oscar

    If there's nothing wrong with this, Michael, why have you been keeping it a secret?

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38526

  14. Michael

    Because I wanted you to come to me and say, 'Wow, he is so great.' And I was gonna say, 'Well, it's in the genes.' And I was actually gonna be wearing jeans. And I'd point to them, right? No. But you ruined it. So, thank you very much. Here he comes. Guys, look. I don't want you to treat him like anyone else in the office. I just want you to treat him like my nephew. Hey, there he is.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38527

  15. Erin

    Hey! Ice cream afternoon!

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38528

  16. Michael

    Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38529

  17. Kevin

    Wait, soy ice cream? Did you get real ice cream?

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38530

  18. Pam

    Or enough for everyone?

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38531

  19. Luke

    No, man. There was no list. Uh, but I got bagel chips.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38532

  20. Oscar

    Ah, my favorite part of an ice cream party. The bagel chips.

    You really think you can make it up to me with food?

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38536

  24. Pam

    I don't know. That usually works.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38537

  25. Pam

    I feel horrible for blowing Jim's prank. I don't know if you can tell, but he's mildly upset. And Dwight hasn't been messed with in a while, so he's become a monster. I need to make this right.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38538

  26. Angela

    I came down here to feed the feral cats like I usually do and I found something unsavory in the back of your nephew's car.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38539

  27. Michael

    Ok, you know what? Just -just back off! Back off!

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38540

  28. Phyllis

    Well, take a look. It's all the packages he was supposed to overnight. He never bothered to send them.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38541

  29. Michael

    All right, those might be his. He might own an Ebay store.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38542

  30. Jim

    Yep. That's exactly what my first thought was. And then I remembered having a conversation with him where he was like, 'I don't own an Ebay store,' so...

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38543

  31. Michael

    Ok, ok. You know what? This is disgusting. This is like a witch hunt. This is like the Blair Witch Hunt project.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38544

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38547

  35. Michael

    I'm reconsidering sending them back anyway.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38548

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38549

  37. Michael

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38550

    Yep, here they are.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38553

    Yep, I just lost a client cause I swore I sent these samples on time.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38554

  42. Andy

    This kid's costing us sales, Michael.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38555

  43. Erin

    I'm sorry, do you want to try them on again to see.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38556

    No, I know they fit. It's not about the fit.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38557

    Why is this my problem, Michael?

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38558

    Because Gabe tattled. I was perfectly happy to just hide it from you.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38559

  47. Gabe

    Those overnight packages needed to go out, and Michael refuses to hold the guilty party accountable.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38560

  48. Jo Bennett

    Lower yourself, Gabe. I don't wanna be having a conversation with your crotch. Ok, educate me now why you won't fire the boy.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38561

  49. Michael

    You don't have all the facts.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38562

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38566

    Well, this office is my pool. And my house is my house. And I just want my nephew to work in my pool.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38568

    If you keep him, Michael, I'm gonna hold you accountable for him. You're on the hook for this kid. You got that? Cover his ass like tighty-whities.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38569

  57. Michael

    I will cover his ass like moss on a Mississippi tree stump.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38570

  58. Jo Bennett

    Was how I put it not clear enough? I mean, you had to go and make up your own saying? Deal with it, boys.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38571

  59. Michael

    Luke and I have been working side-by-side as master and commander. Me as master, he as commander. Occasionally he will need a little push, and I will do that, and he'll slow down, and I'll push him again. That's the thing with kids, you have to keep pushing. You have to push them until they push you back. And then you push some more. It's all about give and take, but mostly it's about pushing each other.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38572

  60. Kevin

    Oh, yeah. This'll be easy. So just, like, rearrange the buttons and stuff.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38573

  61. Pam

    Yeah, yeah. Like when he presses 'Doors closed' the doors open. Or he presses 'lobby' it goes to third floor, stuff like that. Can you do that?

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38574

  62. Kevin

    Yeah. Let me take a look at the circus board.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38575

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38588

  76. Dwight

    I've got 56 ounces of fluid in my bladder! And we have to establish a pee corner!

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38589

  77. Pam

    You've gotta be kidding me.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38590

  78. Michael

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38599

  87. Andy

    Oh, my God, is it in my eyeball? I think he's burning my eye.

    Season 7 · Episode 1 · Line 38600
