Episode Quotes |
| |
Dwight: Babies are one of my many areas of expertise. Growing up, I performed my own circumcision. | Michael: (to Phyllis) We all came into this room and gave you a golden shower. Well you know what? Where's my golden shower, Phyllis? | Stanley: I do not like pregnant women in my workspace. They're always complaining. I have varicose veins, too. I have swollen ankles, I'm constantly hungry... do you think my nipples don't get sore too? Do you think I don't need to know the fastest way to the hospital? | Darryl: What's up, Mike?
Michael: Uh, I need some advice from one baby daddy to another. | Jan: Okay. You know what? There is, uh... there is one more thing that you can do for me.
Michael: Okay?
Jan: Don't date Holly. | Michael: I didn't feel much when I held Astrid, but I got a good feeling from Holly. |
