Episode Quotes

Dwight: There are several different ways to tell if a perp is lying. The liar will avoid direct eye contact. The liar will cover part of his or her face with his hands, especially the mouth. The liar will perspire. Unfortunately, I spoke to Oscar on the phone so none of this is useful.
Pam: So are you going to be, like, totally awkward around me now?
Jim: Oh yeah... yeah.

Jim: Hope that’s okay.

Episode Goofs
When Dwight was looking up Oscar's symptoms on WebMD, there is no way he could have gotten a response as quickly as he did with the symptoms he typed in.
Michael takes Jim to lunch at Hooters in this episode, yet there is no Hooters in Scranton. The nearest Hooters is 50 miles away, which is too far to travel during a typical lunch break.
