Episode Quotes
Dwight: Shalom, I'd like to apply for a loan.
Pam: That's nice, Dwight.
Dwight: Okay, do me. Something stereotypical so I can get it really quick.
Pam: Okay, I like your food.
Dwight: Uh, Outback Steakhouse, I'm Australian, mate!
Michael: Pam, come on, 'I like your food' no come on, stir the pot. Stir the melting pot, bam! Let's do it, let's get ugly, let's get real.
Pam: Okay, if I have to do this, based on stereotypes that are totally untrue, that I do not agree with, you would maybe not be a very good driver.
Dwight: Aw man, am I a woman?

Kevin: Hey.
Angela: Hey.
Kevin: You wanna go to the beach?
Angela: Sure.
Kevin: You wanna get high?
Angela: No.
Kevin: I think you do, mon.
Angela: Stop it.

Oscar: Both my parents were born in Mexico, and they moved to the United States a year before I was born, so I grew up in the United States... my parents were Mexican.
Michael: Wow, that is a great story. That's the American dream right there, right? Um, let me ask you, is there a term besides ‘Mexican' that you prefer? Something less offensive?

Michael: You'll notice, I didn't have anybody be an Arab. I thought that would be too explosive, uh, no pun intended. But I just thought 'too soon' for Arabs. Maybe next year. You know, the ball's in their court.
