[Pam is on phone and clicking her mouse rhythmically, Jim is clicking his pen equally as much, and Dwight notices]

Dwight: Stop it!

Jim: Stop what?

Dwight: You're talking about me in Morse Code. Well, you know what? Joke's on you 'cause I know Morse Code. Ha!

Jim: [chuckles] Yeah. That's what we're doing. In our very limited free time and with our very limited budget, we went and got a nanny and then we went out and took a class on a very outmoded and very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you.

Jim: Yup. That's exactly what we did.

Pam: It all started when Dwight was tapping his foot against the leg of his desk. When I asked him to stop, he said, "I will when you lose the baby weight."

Dwight: Very well. I must have imagined it. I apologize. [Pam clacking her stapler and Jim responding with tapping his keyboard rhythmically] Detonator. Detonator where? Michael!

Michael: Jim. Are you clicking a detonator?

Jim: It's a pen.

Dwight: Michael, come on.

Michael: Get back to work, Dwight. Please.

Dwight: Fine. [clears throat] Hey. Tap away. [Dwight puts noise-cancelling headphones on and Pam and Jim begin to blink rhythmically]

Michael: Ooh! Things with Donna are so... oh-ho-ho! They're going great. I, uh... we're just clicking on every level. Emotionally and sexually and... orally and I am not used to relationships going this well. I'm actually having trouble focusing on my job. And I like it!

Michael: Who enjoys the weekends? [all raise hands] Of course. Now the weekend is always great if you have someone, which I do. I have Donna. She is hot. She has a Pilates butt. But we need to find something to do this weekend beside have sex. Did I say that? Yes, I did. [all nod] And the reason you are here is that I need ideas for things that Donna and I could do on the weekend. So just shout it out.

Stanley: I have an idea for your weekend.

Michael: Okay.

Stanley: Let me get back to my desk right now.

Michael: Okay, you get out of here, big dog. [high-fives Stanley] Ah, no, no, no, no. You guys sit down. I need ideas.

Pam: Stanley got to go.

Michael: Yeah, well, Stanley doesn't help with anything. Come on. Shout 'em out, shout 'em out.

Andy: Walk around apple orchards.

Michael: Oh!

Andy: Super romantic.

Michael: That's fun.

Dwight: Eel fishing.

Michael: All right.

Darryl: Curl up with your favorite DVD.

Meredith: You and Donna should h*t the Poconos. They have heart-shaped Jacuzzis. Room enough for three.

Michael: We actually went to the Poconos last Tuesday. We headed up there, we went to a little Chinese bistro, um, P.F. Chang's.

Kelly: Wait, why would you go all the way to the Poconos to P.F. Chang's when we have the Great Wall in Scranton.

Michael: Because when your super-hot girlfriend says, "I wanna go to Mount Pocono," you go to Mount Pocono and you do her. And we screwed. Whoops. TMI.

Kelly: Wait, that's crazy far. Are you sure she's not cheating?

Michael: You know what, Kelly? This is the real world. Not The Real World[/b]: Scranton. Oh my God, this is super weird. When Ryan had two girlfriends, he used to take me to some diner in Hazelton just so the other girl wouldn't see.

Ryan: Some diner?! It was the Starlight Diner! It's in a LIFE magazine spread about Americana.

Michael: You guys think Donna's cheating on me?

Pam: No, Michael, no.

Dwight: Are you nuts?

Pam: You had a nice meal with your girlfriend in a lovely place...

Michael: ... and... we had sex, too.

Pam: That is right. Don't make any more of it.

Michael: How?

Pam: How what?

Michael: How do I not make any more of it?

Pam: You could start by concluding this meeting.

Michael: All right. [all stand up to leave] And she won't say, "I love you."

Dwight: Oh, no.

Andy: How many dates have you been on?

Michael: Nine dates. I said it on the second date.

Andy: Mm.

Oscar: That seems... quick. Even for lesbians.

Ryan: Does she keep her phone locked around you, Michael? Does she watch how much she drinks around you, Michael?

Ryan: Does she leave the room when she takes phone calls? Does she keep perfume in her purse? Does she shower before sex? Does she shower after sex? Does she...

Michael: Yeah, she does all that.

Ryan: Sorry, dude.

Michael: No, no...

Pam: Michael, do not let your imagination run amok.

Michael: Run what?

Pam: Amok. It means, don't let your imagination run out of control.

Michael: Why didn't you just say that, Pam?

Pam: Michael, do not let your imagination run out of control.

Michael: Well, that's easy for you to say. You have a bad imagination. It's stupid. I live in a fantasy world.

Jim: You do?

Michael: Yes, Jim, I do. And I can't stay in a relationship that is full of lies and deceit.

Jim: But you didn't believe any of this was true five minutes ago.

Michael: That's what makes it so wrong.

Michael: Ever since I found out that Donna might be cheating on me, I have not eaten or slept. This not knowing, that's what's k*lling me.

Dwight: Oh, God, that tickles. What did...

Michael: [whispers] I want someone to follow Donna. I want her tailed. I need the name of a good private investigator.

Dwight: I think I've got one for you. [hands Michael a business card]

Michael: This is you. How much do you charge?

Dwight: $100 a day, plus expenses.

Michael: I'll give you $50. Money's no object.

Dwight: I'm just gonna warn you... and I say this to all my clients... you might not like what I find.

Michael: Okay.

Dwight: And you might not like how I find it. [slides over table, leaves]

Andy: Of course. Yeah, that's terrible. Okay, let me get back to you. Hey, Stanley. One of my clients just called and said that their Sabre printer started smoking and caught on f*re.

Stanley: My doctor told me to cut out hot dogs. We all got problems.

Andy: Hey, Gabe I need to talk to you about something. It's really important.

Gabe: There's no way that you guys have any almond butter, right?

Andy: Yeah, I don't know. Look, one of my clients called. He was in the middle of a big printing job and the back of the printer started smoking and then the paper tray caught on f*re.

Gabe: That's weird. I haven't heard of that happening. I would even settle for apricot preserves.

Andy: What are we gonna do about this?

Gabe: I don't know. Call HQ, see if they know anything. Yeah. That's what I'll do today. All right. Yeah.

Andy: Let me know what they say.

Darryl: [puts newspaper down] Wow. That dude is good.

Andy: What do you mean?

Darryl: You didn't feel like he was hiding something?

Andy: I don't know.

Darryl: Like he was... covering something up? Maybe.

Darryl: Two years ago, Andy blamed the warehouse for a late shipment that he forgot to process. We got yelled at pretty bad. Almost lost my job, and I was mad as hell at the time. But I said "Darryl, just wait. He's a fool. There's gonna be an opportunity. Just be patient." [smiles]

Dwight: [sitting on his Firebird's hood in front of a gym] Hi stranger.

Donna: Oh, hi. You work for Michael.

Dwight: I work with Michael.

Donna: Right.

Dwight: Dwight Schrute. [they shake hands]

Donna: Donna, hi.

Dwight: All cases are solved with logic. The only logical way to find out if Donna Is a cheater is to seduce her, bring her to orgasm, then call Michael and tell him the sad news.

Jim: That's interesting. Wow, it's a little early for ice cream, don't you think?

Michael: It's never too early for ice cream, Jim. But we didn't have any ice cream, so this is mayonnaise and black olives.

Pam: Oh!...

Jim: Oh, my God

Michael: It's comfort food, all right? [disgustedly] God.

Jim: You know Michael, this whole Donna thing is gonna be okay, you just... stop beating yourself up.

Michael: I know. Well, I hope you're right. We'll see what Dwight says.

Pam: Why do we have to see what Dwight says?

Michael: Because I have him investigating her. I'm waiting for a text update.

Jim: Michael, no...

Pam: No, no, no, no. Undo that. Undo that.

Michael: It's too late to undo it. I need to know. Otherwise this thing is going to spiral out of amok.

Pam: Michael. Okay, I'm... I'm going to talk straight to you because I think you need to hear it. Michael.

Michael: God, this is so disgusting.

Pam: Stop eating it! Do you wanna be happy? Look at you. You have a major self-destructive streak in you.

Michael: I know.

Pam: And you kind of torpedo every romantic relationship you're in.

Michael: That's not true. [Pam stares him down] You're right, I ruin everything. And I've known some wonderful women. Holly, Carol, Jan.

Pam: Helene.

Michael: Helene?

Pam: My mother.

Michael: Oh.

Pam: My mother, Helene. [Jim shakes his head]

Michael: Oh, yeah. Yes, yes. Yes. All of, all of the greatest loves of my life.

Jim: You should stop this, [pulls away mayo and olives bowl] and you should call Dwight right now.

Michael: [sighs] All right. [calls Dwight]

Dwight: [at gym, looks ready to work out, checks phone, and tries to grab Donna's attention] Oh, gosh, we were both going for the same weight at the same time; you go ahead.

Donna: Thank you.

Dwight: It's all yours. [strains loudly to lift two dumbbells and a free weight chained to strap around his head] Ah! [after first rep, Dwight is injured]

Donna: You okay?

Dwight: Yeah, I'm good. Hey, you know an exercise for two people that uses the whole body?

Donna: [chuckles] Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about.

Dwight: Tractor pulling. Too bad there's not a tractor here.

Dwight: [moaning loudly on exercise machine while staring at Donna who's next to him] Oh. Oh. Oh. [groans loudly] One thing you need to know about me. I don't quit until something tears or pops. [chuckles] You look like you're getting a good workout. Can I feel your pulse?

Donna: Nope. I'm good, thanks.

Dwight: Really? Hey, um... [Dwight gets up and walks sorely from his "workout"]

Old lady: Look, young man, can you wipe down that seat?

Dwight: Get out of my way. Huh!

Dwight: Tomorrow's fertilizer, am I right?

Donna: I'm out of here.

Dwight: Donna. Donna, wait, please. I'm sorry. Okay? Listen. We both know why I'm here[/b]: to see... you... naked... while... I'm... naked.

Donna: You stay away from me, or I'm calling security.

Dwight: Donna, come... Ah! Grr! Ugh! [Dwight is very sore from his "workout" and cannot chase Donna]

Michael: You're back. What happened?

Dwight: Oh, I pulled muscles in both my thighs. Thanks for asking.

Michael: No, what happened with Donna?

Dwight: Yeah, no. She's not cheating. Oh, man! Will you help me work out this knot? Right here. [near his groin]

Michael: Ugh!

Dwight: Put your fingers here.

Michael: No. No! Are you sure?

Dwight: I'm positive. Yeah, oh, and here's your expense receipts right there.

Michael: Who eats eight protein bars?

Dwight: People who don't trust egg whites.

Michael: Okay. Well, I am just glad this is all over.

Dwight: Oh, me too. And by the way, uh, I told her not to, but she's coming over here and she's furious.

Michael: What? No, she didn't say that.

Dwight: You're right. I was paraphrasing. What she actually said was, [pulls out notebook] "What is with him? He is crazy. I'm coming over there to talk to him." And this was after I have no other recourse but to tell her and gym security that you had me sent there to see if she was cheating. Also, I joined the gym. You'll be billed monthly. [lays down gym membership receipt on a chair in Michael's office.

Michael: I am not paying for that membership.

Michael: [sitting on the floor behind Erin's desk, sighs] Ohhh... mmm...

Erin: Maybe you'd be more comfortable in your own office.

Michael: No, I like the attention. Is she here yet?

Erin: Uh, no. [Michael sighs, Donna enters] Wait, yes.

Michael: That's her?

Erin: Yeah.

Michael: Mm-hmm. Right. Right. Right. [Michael pretends to be speaking on the phone as Donna approaches] Okay, I'll talk to you later.

Donna: How could you think I would cheat on you?

Michael: I didn't. Everybody else here did. Everybody convinced me that something was up. They poisoned my mind.

Donna: That's pathetic.

Michael: Ye... pfff. Well, no. It's a lie. That's not what happened. I just like you. I can't believe I get to be with you. You work at an adult arcade. You could have any man you want.

Donna: When I tell you I like you, you need to trust me, not some freak. [Dwight is gulping some sort of power shake]

Michael: If you wanna dump me, I totally get it.

Donna: I told you I like you.

Michael: Well, you are boner-ific. [Donna laughs]

Donna: Hey, if I said that we should go away for a couple of days, you would...

Michael: ...poop my pants.

Donna: Have you ever been to Vero Beach?

Michael: Oh, my God, Vero Beach. No. Is that on the water?

Donna: We're going.

Michael: We are?

Donna: Yeah.

Andy: What's up? I got your e-mail.

Darryl: Close the door.

Andy: Okay.

Darryl: I don't have a plan exactly. More of a loose structure. Gives me freedom to improvise. It's like jazz. [scatting] Andy don't mess with me. [continues scatting] I'll figure something out.

Darryl: Some freaky stuff going on. I was walking behind Gabe and I heard some things.

Andy: Such as?

Darryl: It was kind of mumbled, I don't know, uh, only thing I could make out clearly was "Andy," "Problem," "Eliminate," something. I don't know what it meant.

Andy: What? You don't know what it meant? How about "Andy is a problem and we must eliminate him?"

Darryl: Whoa. I hadn't even thought of that.

Andy: [chuckles nervously] Yeah. Hah. Hoo.

Kelly: Oh, hey, I love your earrings.

Donna: Thank you.

Kelly: Did Michael get them for you?

Donna: No, I bought them myself.

Kelly: Where?

Donna: Steamtown Mall.

Kelly: Claire's? Zales? Ricky's? Earring, Earrings? Fancy Girl? Platinum Cat? Where?

Donna: You know, I actually got them in Philadelphia, in a mall down there.

Kelly: Franklin Mills? King of Prussia? Springfield? Governor's Place?

Donna: Uh, Franklin Mills.

Jim: [to Pam] What?

Pam: Hmm? Oh. It's probably nothing.

Pam: Okay, heart-shaped jewelry is not something that a woman buys for herself. A man definitely bought it for her recently, and it wasn't Michael.

Jim: Wait, so are you... you like heart-shaped jewelry, though, right?

Pam: No. Except for the pendant that you bought me. Which I love.

Creed: Psst... [Creed walks by Andy and draws his right index finger across his neck, further scaring Andy, Andy looks over at Darryl who is staring him down]

Andy: Creed's head of quality assurance. So he'd definitely be wrapped up in this.

Creed: So there I am, minding my own business and Darnell offers me three bucks. All I gotta do is walk by Andy and go like this. [draws finger across neck] Darnell's a chump. I would have done it for anything. I've done a lot more for a lot less.

Pam: So it turns out Donna and I have a facebook friend of a friend in common, so I was able to see some of her pictures online. [pulls out picture of Donna embracing a man and smiling] This was taken two weeks ago. And this was taken the same night. [pulls out a picture of Donna kissing the same man] This photo was taken this morning. [shows a baby picture] It's Cece. [laughs] She's never gonna do anything wrong.

Donna: Isn't that something?

Michael: Wow. [Pam knocks on Michaels door and goes in] That's exciting.

Pam: Hey, Michael.

Michael: Hey.

Pam: I'm sorry to interrupt you. Um, I actually have something very important to talk to you about, business related.

Michael: Well it can wait. It can wait.

Pam: I lied it's personal. It's about me and Jim. We're... I just... you're the only person I can talk to.

Michael: Jim is her husband.

Donna: Oh.

Pam: And...

Michael: And they are having problems, so sh...

Pam: No, not... we're not... we're not having problems. But it is personal. And I would love...

Michael: Good in bed.

Pam: Yes. Yes, I desperately want to speak with you about my sex life with Jim.

Michael: Oh, my God. Look at how cheap street level rooms are. Am I the only person who enjoys people watching?

Pam: [loudly] I need you to sign this! So bad!

Michael: Okay, weirdo.

Pam: I love [leans over Michael's desk to look at his computer screen]... this idea is neat. I've never been. It sounds lovely. [meanwhile Michael looks at the pictures Pam printed out]

Donna: Yeah I think it'll be a nice trip. We're gonna get a lot done.

Pam: [to Michael] You're gonna wanna look at the date on that. Oh, wow. Look at... golfing. [to Donna] Are you a golfer?

Donna: I am, but I, I gave my clubs away. I swear too much. [Pam and Donna both laugh] Hey, you okay? [to Michael, walking away disappointedly]

Michael: Yeah, I just remembered that I have to go to the bathroom. Pam?

Pam: Absolutely. [both leave Michael's office]

Darryl: Look, I'm not down there anymore, so if the guys start making fun of you, you just, you gotta stand up for yourself.

Glen: I know, it's just, I'm scared...

Andy: Your text said 911.

Darryl: Glen, could you excuse us? [Andy slams the door after Glen leaves, panting heavily]

Darryl: It's bad.

Andy: What's bad?

Darryl: It's real bad.

Darryl: Still no plan.

Andy: Oh, God.

Darryl: It's getting bigger.

Andy: I might have to go public here, but no one's gonna believe me. Uh... I need proof. I need, like, a printer to catch on f*re.

Darryl: I can videotape it.

Andy: Yeah.

Darryl: [to camera] There it is.

Andy: There what is?

Darryl: What?

Michael: Who the hell is this? Who is this guy?

Pam: I don't know who he is.

Michael: God! Lowest of the low. That guy. Just a notch above Toby. You know what?

Pam: What?

Michael: I'm gonna k*ll him. No, I'm not. I feel... I... no, I'm not going to k*ll him.

Pam: You just have to go in there. You have to hear it from her.

Michael: I have to hear it from her.

Pam: You have to settle down first.

Michael: I need to have her tell me herself. Right?

Pam: Okay. Okay. Yes.

Michael: I need to have her say...

Pam: Yeah, but you have to calm...

Michael: I need to say, "What the hell is that? What the hell is that?"

Pam: Okay. Look at this, look at this. Baby picture.

Michael: No, God! No, no, oh, my God!

Pam: [in baby voice] Hi, Michael, hi, Michael

Michael: [calms down] Okay. Okay. Okay.

Gabe: [to Andy] I talked to corporate. Turns out there have been 12 reports of faulty printers. Out of 400,000. [smiles] We've investigated. Every time it's been user error. They block the vents or something, I don't know. That's why we have the fine print. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. So I'd like to reward you for that. [pulls out gift card] That's god for five bucks at Dunkin' Donuts. Any Dunkin' Donuts. [Andy looks over at Darryl and Darryl motions for Andy to go to him]

Michael: You know what? We should really do something fun this week.

Donna: Yeah, we should.

Michael: Wouldn't that be fun?

Donna: Yeah.

Michael: How about Thursday?

Donna: Thursday works. Yeah, what do you wanna do?

Michael: I can't do Thursday. Book club. How about Friday?

Donna: Oh, Friday doesn't work.

Michael: Oh, really? 'cause I was thinking we could go to this concert. Spice Girls are opening for Weird Al. Front row. It'd be a great, great concert.

Donna: sh**t. I'm working.

Michael: Oh okay. Well, maybe I could stop by.

Donna: Well, won't you be at the concert?

Michael: Nope, that's Tuesday.

Donna: Oh, well, I can make it on Tuesday.

Michael: You're cheating. You're cheating on me.

Donna: How do you know?

Michael: Pam told me. [looks up at 2nd floor windows and so does Donna; Jim, Dwight, and Pam are visible on conference room window, they all scramble as soon as Donna and Michael look up, Pam throwing herself on the floor]

Pam: [gasps] Did she see me?

Jim: [to Pam on floor] Nice effort.

Andy: [in old Michael Scott Paper Company's "office"] We're printing on 24-pound premium stock paper, approximately 300 sheets in. So far, no signs of distress. [Darryl is filming Andy's demonstration]

Darryl: You haven't even introduced yourself.

Andy: Right. My name is Andrew Baines Bernard, and if you're watching this, it's because I've turned State's witness because I'm in danger because I know too much.

Darryl: You should talk in a higher voice 'cause the camera makes you sound weird.

Andy: Higher? Okay. [speaking slightly higher] Recently certain events have come to my attention...

Darryl: Higher. [motions with hand to go up more]

Andy: Make it higher? Okay.

Darryl: Mm-hmm

Andy: [high-pitched] I have come to the conclusion that the Sabre corporation...

Darryl: One more, yeah. [Again motions to go even higher]

Andy: [higher] May be overlooking certain safety regulations. At the danger... [printer starts smoking and explodes] ah! [speaking lower] It's working. [in normal voice] It's... I knew it!

Darryl: This... [removes camera headset]

Andy: We are blowin' the roof off! Blowin' the roof off! [Darryl discharges f*re extinguisher onto printer] Nice. Nice. This is my partner, Darryl Philbin. He's been my partner through this entire thing.

Darryl: I don't wanna prank anymore. Things get real. It's not funny. I'm just gonna be good, stay in my room, go to church, try to do one nice thing per day. I do not wanna prank anymore.

Michael: Who is he?

Donna: What, what do you mean?

Michael: The other man. Who's the guy? Who is it?

Donna: It's you. I'm married.

Michael: I'm the mistress?

Dwight: [on workout bicycle at gym] Okay, everybody, let's take this next hill.

Gym Instructor: Excuse me. Yeah, I'd appreciate it if you'd just let me run this.

Dwight: You know what? You had your chance. You're no leader. Out of your seat, let's blast!

Gym instructor: Don't listen to him, we're approaching a cooldown down a gentle hill.

Dwight: No! The hill's a trap. Let's take the dirt road off to the side.

Gym instructor: No, guys, no. We're just cooling down...

Dwight: If they catch us, they will r*pe us. Go for the cliff. And three, two, one... jump! No! [points to those around him] You're d*ad, you're d*ad, you're d*ad. Good jump. You're barely alive. Okay, now nice cooldown. Check your pulse rate.
