Oscar: We don’t even have to have a party. Michael Scott: No, hey. Hey, don’t be ridiculous. Of course we are going to have a party. The celebration of Oscar. Oscar night. And I want it to be Oscar specific-- Oscar: Michael… Michael Scott: No, no not because you’re gay. You’re gayness does not define you. Your Mexican-ness is what defines you, to me. And I think we should celebrate Oscar’s Mexicanity. So Phyllis I want you to go and find firecrackers and a Chiwawa.

And the doctors tried to save her, life, they did the best they could. And she is going to be ok. Stanley: What is wrong with you? Why would you have to phrase is like that?
Michael Scott’s quotes are so much better than anything I would ever hear around my office!
Sometimes the likeness of The Office and the awkwardness of my work environment is actually pretty amazing…that is until I realize how depressing that is…
