Is it September 24th yet?
No, it is not. But my dad's office game is apparently bothering me via e-mail about The Office. Today he asked me about my favorite quotes and sent me his favorite eleven (because he was trying to do ten, but you can't just do ten). Yep.
1. 3.24 - The Job
Pam - "I haven't heard anything, but I bet Jim got the job. I mean, why wouldn't he? He's totally qualified, and smart - everyone loves him. And..if he never comes back again, that's OK. We're friends, and I'm sure we'll stay friends. We just never got the timing right, ya know? I shot him down, and then, he did the same to me. But you know what? It's OK. I'm totally fine. Everything is going to be totally...." Jim opens door - "Pam! (to camera) Sorry. (to Pam) "Ummm, Are you free for dinner tonight? Pam - "Yea." Jim - "All right, then...it's a date" Pam faces camera and smiles - "..... I'm sorry, what was the question?"
(I wish I had a camera for how ridiculous I looked when I saw this. It was about midnight, in my host family's house in Italy up in my part of the bedroom. I literally got off my bed and jumped up and down. *HAPPY DANCE* *prays to the TV gods that the writers don't screw this up*)
2. 3.19 - The Negotiation
Dwight talking head. "Every day, for eight years, I have brought pepper spray into this office to protect myself and my fellow employees. And every day, for eight years, people have laughed at me. Well who's laughing now?"
(BAHAHAHA There are no words.)
3. 2.10 - Christmas Party
Phyllis:"Does everybody know my boyfriend, Bob Vance?" Kevin:"Kevin Malone" Bob:"Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration." Stanley:"Stanley Hudson." Bob:"Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration." Ryan:"Ryan Howard." Bob:"Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration" Ryan:"What line of work you in, Bob?"
(I love Ryan for his face in this.)
4. 2.21 - Drug Testing
Jim: So, it turns out that Dwight finding drugs is actually a lot more dangerous than most people using drugs.
And Jim's interrogation. Especially "You said that when I walked in here, I would be conducting the interview. Now, HOW MUCH POT DID YOU SMOKE?"
(YAY I MADE UP A NEW ONE.)
5. 2.22 - Casino Night
Jim: Hey, how's it going?
Pam: Good. Especially after I took all your money in poker.
Jim: Haha, yeah. Uh... hey, can I talk to you about something?
Pam: About when you wanna give me more of your money?
Jim: No, I wa-
Pam: Did you wanna do that now?
Jim: Well -
Pam: We can go inside. I'm feeling kinda good tonight.
Jim: I was just, um... I'm in love with you.
Pam: What?
Jim: I'm really sorry if that's weird for you to hear. But you needed to...hear it. ... Probably not good timing. I know that, I just--
Pam: What are you doing? What do you expect me to say to that?
Jim: I just needed you to know. Once.
Pam: Well, I, um- I... I can't?
Jim: Yeah.
Pam: You have no idea -
Jim: Don't do that.
Pam: - what your friendship means to me.
Jim: Come on. I don't want to do that. I want to be more than that.
Pam: I can't. ...I'm really sorry if you misinterpreted things. It's probably my fault.
Jim: Not your fault. I'm sorry if I misinterpreted that - our friendship.
(JKras's acting really made this scene. That is ALL I will say on that.)
6. 3.6 - Diwali
Andy gets Jim drunk and he attempts to ride his bike home but crashes into the bushes. Karen - "Hey dummy, get in the car." Jim - "I'm a drunk driver" Karen - "Yes, you are"
(I love Jim. And I love Karen. I just don't love them together. :\)
7. 3.13 - Traveling Salesman
Jim talking head - "Dwight and I used to go on sales call all the time. In fact, I have a picture to remember that time. Oh, Young Jim, there is just so much I need to warn you about. And yet, tragically, I cannot"
(We quote this all the time in Levychat. "Oh young [insert character's name here]." And considering a great deal of the characters are doomed, there is much to warn them about.)
8. 3.15 - Ben Franklin
Dwight - "So, are you near-sighted or far-sighted?" Ben Franklin - "Both, that is why I invented the bifocals." Dwight - "Aaaaaahhhhhhh!"
(Bwahahaha. This episode fed the history geek in me. I want a Ben Franklin impersonator at my bachelorette party. Many, many years in the future.)
9. 3.17 - Business School
A bat gets into the DM office. Jim convinces Dwight that he was bitten by the bat and is turning into a vampire.
(YES. This is the only episode I kept to watch over and over. It reminds me of us having a bat in our house. I bet we could have convinced Gretchen one of us was turning into a vampire.)
10. 3.19 - The Negotiation
Dwight talking head. "I am not a hero. I am a mere defender of the office. You know who is a real hero? Hiro, from Heroes. THAT'S a hero. Also, Bono."
(As a lover of Heroes and Masi Oka, I must put this one on here. Although it barely beats out Jim's reaction to coming out of the bathroom and seeing Dwangela making out and his :O look at the camera followed by, "I will never tell a soul. Now we're even.")
11. 3.21 - Product Recall
Jim - "Lord, beer me strength."
(YES.)
12. 3.21 - Product Recall
Andy: I'd actually like to take out an ad in your yearbook. Two words -
Jim: Good luck.
Andy: Not the two words I was thinking of.
(BAHAHAHA.)
13. 3.23 - Beach Games
Jim: (after having to sumo fight Stanley) I have NEVER seen that look in a man's eyes. I thought I might die. On Beach Day!
14. 3.24 - The Job
Dwight - "Jim, Jim, Jim. Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim." Jim - "Oh, hey Dwight." Dwight - "I am going to be your new boss. It is my greatest dream come true. Welcome to the Hotel Hell. Check in time is now, check out time is NEVER." Jim - "Does my room have cable?" Dwight - "No, and the sheets are made of fire." Jim - "Can I change rooms?" Dwight - "Sorry, we're all booked up. Hell convention in town." Jim - "Can I have a late checkout?" Dwight - "I'll have to talk to the manager." Jim - "You're not the manager? Even in your own fantasy?" Dwight - "I'm the owner. The co-owner. With Satan." Jim - "OK. Just so I understand it: in your wildest fantasy, you are in Hell, and you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil." Dwight - "I haven't told you my salary yet." Jim - "Go". Dwight - "Eighty THOUSAND dollars a year".

15. 3.5 - Initiation
Stanley: I wake up every morning in a bed that's too small, drive my daughter to a school that's too expensive, and then I go to work to a job for which I get paid too little, but on pretzel day? Well, I like pretzel day.
(PRETZEL DAY.)
16. 3.20 - Product Recall
Jim enters office imitating Dwight. "That's kind of blurry." He puts on glasses. "That's better. Question. What kind of bear is best?" Dwight - "That's a ridiculous question." Jim - "False. Black bear." Dwight - "That's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought..." Jim - "Fact. Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica." Dwight - "Bears do not..... What is going on? What are you doing?" Dwight - "Identity theft is not a joke, Jim." Jim - "Michael!" Dwight - "Michael!"
(AND, from the end:)
Dwight: Hey Karen. Want to go have sexual intercourse later, since you're my girlfriend?
Jim: Do you?
Karen: I'm good.
Jim: Okay.
17. 3.2 - The Convention
Jim Halpert: Oh my god! Dwight got a hooker! Oh my god, I gotta call... I gotta call somebody. I don't know who to call... Dwight got a HOOKER!
(:])
18. 3.7 - Branch Closing
Jim - "I don't have a ton of contact with the Scranton branch, but before I left I took a box of Dwight's stationary. So, from time to time I send Dwight faxes. From himself. From the future."
(Only Jim would have this kind of comedic foresight.)
19. 2.18 - Take Your Daughter To Work Day
Stanley: [Screaming at Ryan] That little girl is a child! I don’t want see you sniffing around her anymore this afternoon, do you understand? Boy, have you lost your mind, cause I’ll help you find it, whatcha looking for, ain’t nobody gonna help you out there, Jesus could come through that door, he’s not going to help you, if you don’t stop sniffing after my child!:
[cut to Ryan]
Ryan Howard: Stanley yelled at me today. That was one of the most frightening experiences of my life.
(Oh Ryan.)
20. 3.22 - Women's Appreciation
Michael: Any man who says he totally understands women is a fool. ‘Cause they are un-understandable. There’s a wishing fountain at the mall. And I threw a coin in for every woman in the world and made a wish. I wished for Jan to get over me, I wished for Phyllis a plasma TV, I wished for Pam to gain courage, I wished for Angela a heart, and for Kelly a brain.
(XD)
21. 2.16 - Valentine's Day
Ryan: [talking head] I hooked up with her on February 13th. (He removes his hands from his hair, which is now standing on end.)
(It's all in the facial expression.)
22. 3.13 - The Return
Jim: I miss Dwight. Congratulations, universe. You win.
I'm contemplating a new layout before I go back to Coe. Coram Boy or Spring Awakening?
1. 3.24 - The Job
