RyanYeah, I'm not a temp anymore. I got Jim's old job. Which means at my ten year high school reunion, it will not say "Ryan Howard is a temp". It will say "Ryan Howard is a junior sales associate at a midrange paper supply firm". [pause] That'll show 'em.
RyanI miss the days when there was only one party I didn't want to go to.
RyanLast year, Creed asked me how to set up a blog. Wanting to protect the world from being exposed to Creed's brain, I opened up a Word document on his computer and put an address at the top. I've read some of it. Even for the Internet, it's... pretty shocking.
RyanPsychiatrists tend to be more crazy than their patients. Therapists are whores. Psychiatry is a narcissism machine. I learned more from Dr Suess than Dr Freud. Earth. You don't have to be crazy to live here, but it helps. I don't know, just use the best one.
[points at Dwight's stapler inside the Jell-O] What is that?
That's my stapler.
No, no, no! Do not take it out. You have to eat it out of there, because there are starving people in the world, which I hate, and it is a waste of that kind of food.
OK, you know what? [to Ryan] You can be a witness. Can you reprimand him, please?
[eating cherry Jell-O] How do you know it was me?
It's always you. Are you going to discipline him or not?
Oooh, discipline. Kinky! [chuckles] Alright, here's the deal you guys. The thing about a practical joke is that you have to know when to start and as well as when to stop.
Yeah.
And yeah. Jim, this is the time to stop putting Dwight's personal effects into Jell-O.
OK. Dwight, I'm sorry, because I have always been your biggest flan.
[laughs] Nice. That's the way it is around here. It just kind of goes round and round.
RyanYou should've put him in custardy.
Hey! Yes! New guy! He scores.
OK, that's great. I guess what I'm most concerned with is damage to company property. That's all.
Pudding. Pudding... I'm trying to think of another dessert to do.
Everyone, this is my boyfriend Bob.
Kevin Malone.
Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.
Stanley Hudson.
Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.
RyanRyan Howard.
Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.
[pause]
RyanWhat line of work you in, Bob?
[after Kelly tells him about Ryan talking to Stanley's daughter] That little girl is a child. I don't wanna see you sniffing around her anymore this afternoon. Do you understand?
RyanYes s-
Boy, have you lost your mind, 'cause I'll help you find it! Whatcha lookin' for? Ain't nobody gonna help you out there! Jesus is gonna come through that door and he's not gonna help you if you don't stop sniffing after my child!
RyanOkay.
[cuts to Ryan in an interview]
RyanStanley yelled at me today. That was one of the most frightening experiences of my life.
Just as you have planted your seed into the ground, I will plant my seed into you.
RyanI don't think you know what you're saying.
I ran down Meredith in my car.
RyanDid you do this on purpose?
No, I was being negligent. But she's in the hospital. She's fine, recovering nicely. Tiny little crack in her pelvis. But she will be up in--
RyanDid this happen on company property?
Yes. It was on company property with company property, so... double jeopardy. We're fine.
RyanI don't think you understand how jeopardy works.
Oh right, I'm sorry. What is, "We're fine?"
Ryan just so you know, one of my salesmen beat your stupid computer asshole
RyanThat`s Michael, Always with a joke
If anyone is listening, i`m being held here against my will, I`m a minor.
RyanDo you have a question, Kelly?
Yeah, I have a lot of questions. Number one: how dare you?
RyanKelly.
Oh, hello Ryan. You look well.
RyanI wanted to say I'm sorry... for treating you bad the past couple years. I was in my mid twenties and I was going through a lot of stuff. I think I never fully processed 9/11.
[The entire office staff sings a surprise song to Michael to the tune of "Seasons of Love" from Rent]
Nine million, nine hundred eighty six thousand minutes! We actually sat down, and did the math.
Nine million, nine hundred eighty six thousand minutes! That's how many minutes, that you've worked here.

Nine million, nine hundred eighty six thousand minutes! That's like watching Die Hard, eighty thousand times!
You hit me with your car!
RyanYou helped me get off drugs!
I watch you when you sleep.
I forgive you for kissing me!
Remember to call. Call. Remember to call. Call. Remember to call. Call.
Call, text or e-mail, or call.
[falsetto] Measure your life in love!
Remember to call, remember to call. Remember to call.
You know it's not just pregnant women who don't get their due. You know who's gorgeous? Helen Mirren.
