Episode Quotes
 
Phyllis: I called every grocery store in Scranton and no one sells whole pigs.
Angela: Did you try the petting zoo?
 
Michael: That photo is my personal property, and if you are telling me that you went on my computer and stole that photo, then I am gonna call the cops.
Toby: Michael, nine different people emailed me that photo, including my ex-wife, and we don't talk.
Michael: Well. Then this is probably the ice breaker you need.
 
Michael: Jan told me to play it cool, and not tell anybody, because it could get us both in trouble. So officially, I did not see her. But I did see Jan there. In our room. At night. And in the morning. That's all I'm gonna say. Sex. Sex. We had sex. I had sex with her. I had sex with Jan.
 
Dwight: (to Pam) So you’re PMS-ing pretty bad, huh?
 
Jan: You're wrong for me. In... In... every way. But I still find myself wanting to... be with you.
Michael: And I, to you, in addition, feel the same feelings that you are as well.
Jan: Good. Good.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
It seems unlikely that the warehouse staff would have access to a printer that would create such a large poster as the one of Michael and Jan.
