Jim: Oh, it's on uh Linden Ave. By the quarry?

Jim: Definitely we should.

Dwight: Men find me desirable.
Michael: Yes, sure they do, Dwight.

Michael: I've never framed a man before, have you?

Michael: Since when is it illegal to put caprese salad... anywhere?

Kelly: So you're dumping me?

Kelly: Okay...

Pam: You bought me a house!
Jim: Yeah, I did. (they kiss)
Pam: Um, do we have to sleep in your parents' bedroom?
Jim: No, No, we'll just board that up. It'll be that weird spare room that people ask us about.
Pam: And the clown?
Jim: Yeah, I can't... really can't move him.
