Jim Halpert
- Michael Scott: Okay, we need a golden-ticket idea to get us out of this mess. Yes?
- [Pam has her hand raised]
- Pam Beesly: Does that mean an idea that blows up in our faces later?
- Jim Halpert: Good one.
- Andy Bernard: Every compliment has to be backhanded. "Oh, I like your dress, but I'd like it more if you had prettier hair."
- Pam Beesly: That's psychotic. Do guys actually do that?
- Jim Halpert: Guys with girlfriends don't.
- [as David Wallace congratulates Dwight for the Golden Ticket idea and Michael tries to get Dwight to admit it's not his]
- Jim Halpert: You're talking to Dwight Schrute, the biggest "Wonka" fan I know. I mean, you've been talking about that movie for years.
- Michael Scott: What?
- Jim Halpert: [to Dwight] You know what, I even made fun of you when you dressed up as Willy Wonka to pitch this idea, and for that I apologize.
- Dwight Schrute: Apology rejected.
- Michael Scott: I am just a net that traps all of your crappy subconscious ideas and adds a little bit of my own childhood memories and whimsy, so...
- Jim Halpert: [interrupting] Okay, well, I lost a ton of money today. And I have a mortgage, so I'm a little pissed, too.
- Michael Scott: Thank you. Jim is with me.
- Jim Halpert: Absolutely not. I'm mad at you.
- Michael Scott: Well, you know what, Jim, it is not my fault that you bought a house to impress Pam. That is why carnations exist.
- Creed Bratton: That's not why.
- Jim Halpert: Well, all I'm saying is it's a first date, so just keep a respectful distance.
- Kevin Malone: Right.
- Pam Beesly: I don't think Jim means to say that you shouldn't touch her.
- Jim Halpert: No, that is what I mean.
- Pam Beesly: Shush.
