The Office



Synopsis Images Trivia Quotes
Michael and Dwight greet the office's new visitor

Top
Corporate informs Michael that a incentive program has been set up where the top Dunder-Mifflin sales representative will be rewarded with a prize of up to $1000. As Michael desides on choosing that prize, Katy, a pretty young salesperson, sets up shop in the office to sell handbags, which catches every male's eye. As he shows her around the office, Michael tries to impress her while doing his best to impede the chances of any other office male. Dwight also does his best to win her heart by buying a purse. When Michael hears she'll need a ride home, he does his best to offer himself, going so far as to spend the aformentioned $1000 on a Starbucks machine for her. However, in the end she actually ends up leaving with Jim, leaving Michael and Dwight devastated. It is revealed that Katy and Jim are also going out for a drink, to the apparent disgust of Pam.

Pam: Michael …
Michael: PAM!
Pam: Hey, there’s …
Michael: Burger with cheese!
Pam: There’s a person …
Michael: French fries!
Pam: There’s a …
Michael: And shake! Go ahead.

Michael: Cock in the henhouse!
Dwight: Cocks in the henhouse!
Michael: Don’t say cocks.

Michael: Wow, look at you! You are uh … you’re like the new and improved Pam. Pam 6.0!

Michael: I read Small Businessman. I also uh … subscribe to USA Today, and … American Way um magazine. That’s the in-flight magazine. Some great articles in that. They did this great profile last month of Doris Roberts. And where she likes to eat when she’s in Phoenix. Illuminating.

Kevin: So, are you jealous, cause there’s another girl around?
Pam: No.
Kevin: She’s prettier than you, though.
Pam: That’s a very rude thing to say, Kevin.

Dwight: The purse girl hits everything in my checklist: creamy skin, straight teeth, curly hair, amazing breasts. Not for me, for my children. The Schrutes produce very thirsty babies.

Pam: It’s nice having Katy around. It’s another person for Michael to um (smiles) … interact with.

Michael: I live by one rule. No office romances. No way, very messy, inappropriate, no. But … I live by another rule. Just do it. Nike.

Roy: Hey Jimmy, what do you think about that little purse girl, huh?
Jim: Cute, sure, yeah.
Roy: Why don’t you get on that?
Jim: She’s not really my type.
Roy: What are you, gay?
Jim: Mmm, I don’t think so, nope.
Kevin: What is your type?
Jim: Moms, primarily, yup. Soccer moms, single moms, NASCAR moms, any type of mom, really.
Roy: That’s disgusting.
Kevin: Stay away from my mom.
Jim: Too late, Kev.

Jim: Pam and I are good buddies. I’m sort of Pam’s go-to guy for her problems. You know, with stuff like work, or uh, her fiance, Roy, or um … no, those are pretty much her only two problems.

Jim (watching Dwight buy a purse) : I’m gonna be the prettiest girl in the ball. Oh how much?
Pam: Oh, it’s sad. It’s so sad.

Michael: Coffee is the great incentivizer in the office. It’s a drug, it’s quite literally a drug that speeds people up. It’s not the only drug that speeds people up. You hear stories about uh Dunder Mifflin in the 80s, before everybody knew how bad cocaine was. God, man, did they move paper.

Michael: Um Pam, one more thing. Um, how do girls your age feel about futons?

Katy: What colors do you like?
Angela: Gray, dark gray, charcoal …

Michael: Watch out, woah! That’s my Drakkar Noir.
Ryan: No, this is Rite Aid, Night Swept.
Michael: No, it is a perfect smell-alike. I’m not paying for the label. Right here, give it.
Ryan: Well it’s empty.
Michael: No it’s not. There’s some in the straw.

Ryan: Wow. How many filet-o-fishes did you eat?
Michael: That’s over several months, Ryan.
Ryan (under his breath): Still.

Jim: What’s up?
Pam: I’m bored.
Jim: Thank you for choosing me.

Dwight: Let me describe the perfect date. I take her out to a nice dinner. She looks amazing. Some guy tries to hit on her. Now he wants to fight. So I grab him, I throw him into a jukebox. Then the other ninja’s got a knife, he comes at me, we grapple, I turn his knife on him. Blood on the dance floor. She’s scared now. I take her home. I’m holding her in my arms. I reach in for a kiss. I hear something in the leaves. I flip her around, she gets a poison arrow right in her back. She was in on it the whole time. But I knew.
