The Office on NBC

[Mike Olbinski]

Jan: So when we get to the Radisson…

Michael: Oh, I changed it to Chili’s. Radisson just gives out this vibe. It’s like “oh I’m doing business at the Radisson”. It’s kinda snooty.

Jan: You had no right to do that Michael.

Michael: Here’s the thing…Chili’s is the new golf course. It’s where business happens. Small Businessman Magazine.

Jan: It said that?

Michael: It will. I sent in a letter to the editor.

I saw my first episode of the The Office last week.

OH MY GOD - where has this show been all my life? It was SO freaking funny!

 

[Mike Olbinski]

dwight: i have been michael's number two guy for about five years, and we make a great team. we're like one of those classic famous teams. he's like mozart and i'm like mozart's friend. no, i'm like butch cassidy and michael is like mozart. you try and hurt mozart, you're gonna get a bullet in your head, courtesy of butch cassidy.

Jan: Dwight, listen to me very carefully. You are not a manager of anything. Understand?

Some good Dwight-isms

Dwight: Women are like wolves. If you want a wolf, you have to trap it. You have to snare it and then you have to tame it. Keep it happy, care for it, feed it. Lovingly. The way that an animal deserves to be loved. My animal deserves a lot of loving.

Dwight: Michael? Michael, Michael, Michael. Come here, come here, come here. Listen up everyone! It is the 11:23 exactly. The exact moment when you emerged from your mother’s vaginal canal.


Dwight: [singing to the tune of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire] Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television, North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe, Ryan started the fire!!!

[D-Dogg]

This thread blew up today.


I love this show.

We use "Question:" all the time.


"Dwight gave a great speech. That’s the word on the street anyway. And I … entertained Dwight to no end, with my bar stories. So I captivated the guy who captivated a thousand guys. Can you believe that? A thousand guys."

 

[jenna2891]

btw, it's worth noting in this quote which prison camp dwight's grandfather was in:

"i come from a long line of fighters. my maternal grandfather was the toughest guy i ever knew. world war II veteran. he killed twenty men and then spent the rest of the war in an allied prison camp... my father battled blood pressure and obesity all his life... different kind of fight."

 

[D-Dogg]

That was one of my favorite quotes...he just breezes by an Allied prison camp...like nothing....

Ha, good catch

 

[jenna2891]

michael: reverse psychology is an awesome tool, i don't know if you guys know about it, but basically you can make someone think the opposite of what you believe, and that tricks them into doing something stupid. works like a charm.


i can't stop!

new sig:

"would i ever leave this company? look, i'm all about loyalty. in fact, i feel like part of what i'm being paid for here is my loyalty. but if there were somewhere else that valued loyalty more highly, i'm going wherever they value loyalty the most." - dwight


btw, cm, every time you post now i just picture jim saying it.

I don't think that's what he was talking about...

The Office is doing like 12 "web-isodes" this summer, featuing the supporting cast only in some kind of office mystery...petty cash goes missing or something.

I think you'll probably be able to get them on iTunes...
