The Office, “Conflict Resolution”   post a comment

Posted at 8:30 pm in Television, The Office

What a great episode! This is one of my favorites this season and it kind of makes up for the slightly lackluster “Drug Testing” episode. In this episode, some of the more minor characters get plenty of lines; specifically Toby and Creed (who now seems to be a fan favorite). Gogogo with the episode highlights!

  • “I’m in a band. We really rock.”
  • “Clown paint…”
  • Spud gun in a duffel bag shooting taters at sixty pounds per square inch.
  • Michael touching Ryan’s clothes a little too much.
Let’s uh…let’s keep our own clothes.
  • “What do you know about conflict resolution? Your answer to everything is get divorced.”
  • “A Mediator’s Toolchest.”
Settling the Angela-Oscar conflict. It must be win-win-win.
  • “It’s kitsch. It’s the opposite of art. It destroys art. It destroys souls. This is so much more offensive to me than hardcore porno.”
  • *click* *turn* “You’re all good.” “Great.”
Creed turns to the side after the first shot...criminal-style.
  • “There. No more conflict. I had to use win-lose on that. It was not pretty.”
  • “Are you sure?” “Oh he’s sure. Just shoot.”
Oscar wears the babies-dressed-as-jazz-musicians poster as a t-shirt
  • “Creed is sick of looking at the redhead all day and wants a seat facing the receptionist.” “Nice.”
  • “Here is a Kelly complaint. Ryan never returns my calls. Well, join the club.”
  • “Then why is there a picture of a white man on the door?”
  • “Very nutritious but they smell like death.”
  • “Maybe we should get our photo ID taken together.”
  • “Smile.” “No.”
If someone smiles at me, all I see is a chimpanzee begging for its life.
  • Dwight’s huge “Security Threat” ID.
  • “My middle name is Kurt not Fart.”
  • “Talk to Michael. I gave him the box.” “What box?”
  • Jim’s several methods of annoying Dwight through the years. (Replacing pens and pencils with crayons, calling Dwight “Dwayne” for $5 per person, convincing Dwight that Dwight murdered someone, an abandoned infant in the woman’s room but seeing Meredith instead, Dwight hitting himself with the phone handset, “Dwight” –> “Daipers”, and slowly moving Dwight’s desk closer to the copier.)
  • “Well, it’s a computer camera, right?” “You mean digital?”
  • “Smile? Try to smile?”
But I'm sort of an expert at Photoshop so it turned out fine in the end.

If you’re looking forward to seeing any of these in theaters, try not to spoil yourself on these. Theatrical trailers often give away key plot points (see Spider-Man 2′s trailer).
