Episode Quotes |

Dwight: I don't understand why our website has to have social networking at all.
Jim: Yeah, I actually have to agree with Dwight on that one.
Ryan: It's all about creating a one stop shop consumer experience, all right? You're chatting with your friends, you're talking about the latest music, about the election... all of it is happening in our virtual paper store.
Jim: And then an older gentleman asks you, 'Boxers or briefs?' | Kelly: If I'd have created a website with as many problems, I'd kill myself!
Ryan: Do you have a question, Kelly?
Kelly: Yeah I have a lot of questions. Number one, how dare you? | Michael: Okay, Dwight, grab your stuff. We're going to New York to party with Ryan and to meet girls.
Dwight: Yeah!
Andy: Oh yes! Count me in, dudes. I am in some serious need of some bro' time. Old ball and chain's been a lot more chain than ball lately, if you know what I'm saying.
Angela: I'm right here! | Stanley: Did you not tell the security guard we were working late?
Jim: Nope, I didn't, but let's go inside and I can call him right now.
Pam: You can't. I locked the office from the inside when we left.
Stanley: Perfect, you guys worked together on this one. If I'm not in my bath with a glass of red wine in an hour, you're both dead. | Toby: I have an announcement uh, to make. I am moving to Costa Rica. Thought about it for a long time now. And I'm finally gonna do it. So, I'm just gonna hop the fence and jog home now. |

Episode Goofs |

Since Phyllis is married to Bob Vance, it would be reasonable to assume she could call him to open the gate. If Dwight has a key, surely Bob Vance (of Vance Refrigeration) would have a key. Strangely, this was never mentioned as a possibility. |

Cultural References |

Dwight: (to Troy) You resemble a Tolkien character.
Dwight is referring to famous British fantasy writer J. R. R. Tolkien, who is best known for his Lord of the Rings novels. Dwight thinks Troy looks like a hobbit, one of the fictional races Tolkien writes about, because Troy is so short. | Michael: Been watching The Wire recently. I don't understand a word of it.
The Wire is an action and crime drama that has been airing since 2002 on HBO. | Michael: Look, men are visual creatures. We crave beauty, like a piece of fine art by any number of renowned artists, or an arty photograph of Cindy Crawford nude... that, but the women I'm getting fixed up with are... yugh! Not that they aren't nice, or that have great personalities, they just... They just lack a certain... Crawfordness.
Michael is referring to famous American supermodel Cindy Crawford. | Michael: Packed with beautiful babies. Swingers. Classic. Jon Favreau, tall guy from DodgeBall.
Michael refers to the 1996 film, Swingers, and actor/director Jon Favreau. He also mentions the 2004 film, Dodgeball, which Favreau was not in, as Michael asserts. Michael may be confusing Favreau with actor Vince Vaughn, who is quite tall. | Michael: (to girl in the bar) I, umm, thought about getting a tattoo on my back as well at one point. I was thinking about getting Back to the Future. 'Back' because it's on my back and 'Future' because I'm the kind of guy who likes to look ahead into the future. I just think a tattoo should mean something, you know? And it's my second favorite movie.
Michael is referring to the the 1985 film, Back to the Future, starring Michael J. Fox. | Michael: Like a famous person once said, 'Boys on the side.' But I don't, I disagree. I say... 'Let's hear it for the boys.'
Michael drops the name of the 1995 film, Boys on the Side, starring Drew Barrymore, and the title of the song, "Let's Hear it for the Boy," made popular by singer Deniece Williams in 1984. |

Creed: Hank. His name is Hank.
It is amusing that only Creed accurately remembers the security guard's name, because in the Season Two episode, "The Secret," it is mentioned that Creed can never remember anyone's name. | Ryan: I'm here today to do some creative problem solving about Dunder Mifflin Infinity and field your questions.
Dunder Mifflin Infinity represents a floor to ceiling streamlining of Dunder Mifflin's business model. The centerpiece of the campaign is the new website interface that allows them to compete directly with big box chains, according to Ryan. This was first implemented in the episode, "Dunder Mifflin Infinity." |
