Summary (from NBC): When Dwight finds half a joint in the parking lot, he launches an official investigation. Pam issues a challenge to Jim and he does his best to follow through with it.
Favorite quotes
Jim: You look cute today, Dwight.
Dwight: Thanks, girl.
Jim: So, yesterday Dwight found half a joint in the parking lot. Which is unfortunate because, as it turns out, Dwight finding drugs is more dangerous than most people using drugs.
Dwight: Let’s go over some of the symptoms of marijuana use, shall we? You tell me who this sounds like. Slow moving. Inattentive. Dull. Constantly snacking. Shows a lack of motivation.
Kevin (after what seems to be an eternity): Hey …
Dwight: I like the people I work with generally. With four exceptions. But someone committed a crime. And I did not become a Lackawanna County volunteer sheriff’s deputy to make friends. And by the way, I haven’t.
Jim (impersonating Stanley): I enjoy the tangy zip of Miracle Whip.
Pam: Jim does the best impressions. Sometimes he’ll look up at me from his desk and he’ll just be someone else. Like he’ll go, um (does an impression herself, and laughs). That’s supposed to be Phyllis. I can’t do it as good as he can.
Kelly: And the guys are saying, chug, chug, chug, but I’m so small, and all I had eaten that day was one of those Auntie Anne pretzels from the food court, so I said, is it okay if I sip it? And they said no, but Ryan seemed cool either way.
Dwight: Stop! This is not Kelly Kapour Story Hour!
Dwight: Your ass is on the line, mister!
Dwight: I didn’t know that you were at a party Saturday night.
Ryan: I go to a lot of parties.
Dwight: Okay, I’m going to need to search your car. Give me your keys.
Ryan: I am not giving you my keys.
Dwight: Don’t make me do this the hard way.
Ryan: What’s the hard way?
Dwight: I go down to the police station on my lunch break. I tell the police officer — I know several — what I suspect you may have in your car. He requests a hearing from a judge and obtains a search warrant. Once he has said warrant, he will drive over here and make you give him the keys to your car, and you will have to obey him.
Ryan (barely containing his glee): Yeah, let’s do it that way.
Michael: Dwight, dude, you gotta take a chill pill, man. It was one joint in the parking lot, you know? You’re totally harshin’ the office mellow.
Michael (while fake coughing): Narc!
Dwight: If you are attempting to compliment me, you have done a very good job.
Michael: Dude, where’s my office? I totally lost it! Cause I was half-baked, smoking doobies. Doobie brothers, I was smoking doobies with my brothers. Peace out, Seacrest.
Ryan: I don’t think Michael’s ever done drugs. I don’t know if anyone’s ever offered him any.
Dwight: Oscar visited Mexico when he was five, to attend his great grandmother’s funeral. What does that mean to a United States law enforcement officer? He’s a potential drug mule.
Dwight: Have you ever pooped a balloon?
Creed: That is Northern Lights cannibus indica.
Dwight (sighing with disappointment): No. It’s marijuana.
Jim: I’m just saying that you can’t be sure that it wasn’t you.
Dwight: That’s ridiculous, of course it wasn’t me.
Jim: Marijuana is a memory loss drug, so maybe you just don’t remember.
Dwight: I would remember.
Jim: Well how could you, if it just erased your memory?
Dwight: That’s not how it works.
Jim: Now how do you know how it works?
Dwight: Knock it off, okay, I’m interviewing you!
Jim: No, you said that I’d be conducting the interview when I walked in here. Now exactly how much pot did you smoke? (Dwight looks flabbergasted.)
Jim (impersonating Stanley): Why do you keep CCing me on things that have nothing to do with me?
Stanley: I do not think that is funny.
Pam: Jim is not allowed to talk, until he buys me a coke. Those are the rules of jinx, and they are unflinchingly rigid.
Pam: Sold out! That has never happened in the history of Jinx!
Michael: Two night ago, I went to an Alicia Keys concert at the Montage Mountain Performing Arts Center. I scored these great aisle seats. Anyway, after the opening act, this beautiful girl sits down next to me, and I never get to meet girls with lip rings, and she had one. I don’t know exactly how this happened, but one of her friends started passing around some stuff, and they said that it was clove cigarettes, and I’m sure that it was clove cigarettes. Everybody in the aisle was doing it.
Dwight: It has to be official, and it has to be urine.
Dwight: Kevin, what prescription drugs are you taking besides Rogaine?
Kevin: I’m not taking Rogaine.
Dwight: Angela, what about you?
Angela: I don’t take any prescription drugs.
Dwight: You’re not on … anything? (Angela gives him the look.) Good. (Oscar and Kevin both look at Dwight, then look at Angela.)
Michael: I am ridiculously anti-drug. I am so anti-drug, that I am above suspicion in any way that involves suspicion, or testing of any kind.
Michael: Everybody knows that Cheech and Chong are funny. But just imagine how funny they would be if they didn’t smoke pot.
Michael: This year more people will use cocaine than will read a book to their children.
Michael: Do you think that smoking drugs is cool? Do you think that doing alcohol is cool?
Stanley: No I don’t. I have a glass of red wine with dinner about once a week for the antioxidants.
Toby: Hookah is not an illegal drug, Michael.
Michael: Pam, could you take this down? (Pam shows her empty hands.)
Pam: WOW! He really pulled out the big guns. Fake crying! Did not expect that.
Michael: Urine goes all over the place. You know, there’s no controlling it.
Dwight: Not my urine.
Dwight: Hi Linda. Dwight Schrute, Assistant Regional Manager. You might remember testing my urine a few years back, when I was applying to be a volunteer sheriff’s deputy.
Linda (shaking head): We test a lot of urine.
Dwight: Mine was green.
Linda: Oh, right. How are you?
Dwight: I’m all better.
Angela: Do you want to give Michael your urine?
Dwight: I want him to have all the urine he needs.
Angela: You’re not going to get my permission on this.
Dwight: I know that. Don’t you think I know that?
Linda: Yeah, we do testing all over the country.
Ryan: Cool. Hey, are you guys hiring?
Linda: You want to work at the urinalysis lab?
Ryan: Yeah. Maybe.
Dwight: My father’s name was Dwight Schrute. My grandfather’s name was Dwight Schrute. His father’s name? Dwide Schrude. Amish.
Dwight: I love my father, very much. Every morning, he’d wake up at dawn, and make us biscuits with gravy. When I was little, my dad and I played a lot of games together. My dad cheated a lot, but I never busted him on it. I would have, except I didn’t know about it. He didn’t tell me ’til years later, and I was shocked when I found out.
Pam: Did you want to tell me something? You look like you want to tell me something. You look like you have something really important to say and you just can’t for some reason. Come on, you can tell me. Jim, you can tell me anything.
Kevin: I’d like a magazine.
Linda: We just need urine, sir.
Kevin: I’d still like one.
Michael: I passed the test, thanks to you and your untainted pee.
Dwight: How many orange traffic cones do you have?
Jim: Wow, what a terrible day to not be able to talk. Dwight was literally carrying around his own urine, and dressed like one of the Village People. Why does he do the things that he does for Michael? I just don’t get it. What is he getting out of that relationship?
Tidbits
- Read more about Drug Testing in Jenna’s TV Guide blog and Angela’s MySpace blog!
- To hear Jenna Fischer talk about the hi/hey scene, click here, and go to around minute 28. I promise, you won’t be disappointed!
- Can you guess which scene from Drug Testing was improvised? Read Jenna’s blog to find out.
- Never heard of the game “jinx”? Here’s what Answers.com says:
For kids, a “personal jinx” (often shortened to just “jinx”) is when two kids say something at the same time. If one of them calls “jinx”, the other one can’t say anything unless someone says his or her name (in another variation the name must be said thrice.). The penalty for violating this rule is a firm punch in the arm.
As an alternative to the punch in the arm rule of the kids Jinx game, a Coca-Cola is often used as a bargaining chip. The coke is owed to the kid that yells “Pinch-Poke, You owe me a coke!” or sometimes just “Jinx with a Coke!” as soon as possible after stating the jinx. This kid then wins the game, and thus a coke.

did anyone notice that in this episode, there is a point where dwight and michael are whispering, and in the background you can see the picture that michael photoshopped in conflict resolution? lol. even though drug testing aired before conflict resolution…i thought it was funny, but i guess it was b/c they shot drug testing last.
=]
46 | allison Sat. Nov. 24, 2007 at 8:35amYou should have seen Jim’s impression of Dwight in the deleted scenes…that one had me rolling on the floor - especially after Dwight actually did it!
It’s a shame - there is so much good stuff that they have to cut out of the featured show. I wish NBC would give The Office a bigger time slot more often.
45 | Rick Thu. Apr. 19, 2007 at 7:00amThis is my favourite episode because of the whole pam jim thing playing out. It is absolutely adorable.
44 | Michelle Thu. Feb. 1, 2007 at 10:34pmMy favorite episode. Period.
43 | mattyd Sat. Jan. 20, 2007 at 9:47amthis is probably one of my favorite episodes of all time. the whole thing was just one joke after the other. jim’s impressions of stanely and when dwight is interigating kevin. genius.
42 | Elaine Thu. Jan. 18, 2007 at 9:46amLate blooming Office fan who has just been loving all the episodes. After playing catch up on season 2, I have to say this is one of my favorite episodes and has completely intensified my crush on John Krasinski aka Jim. LOVE the part where he fake cries in that meeting about his relative…hilarious. And OMG the “hi” heard round the world. Very nice. Wonder how this season will go.
41 | WishIWuzPam Wed. Dec. 6, 2006 at 11:09amrandomly i just watched the replacements, and the guy that plays roy played a deaf tight end and didnt say a word the whole movie…a roy jim connection right there
40 | Eric Wed. May. 10, 2006 at 12:35pmHonestly, could this get any better. I love when Jim yells at Dwight, Now exactly how much pot did you smoke? and Dwights look on his face, OMG…. I could not stop laughing. I love Jim’s character… Come on Pam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
39 | Nancy Fri. May. 5, 2006 at 10:55amRainn totally seemed on the verge of laughing when he was “interogating” Kelly during her “Kelly Kapoor Hour” story telling. This episode seemed way too short, I’m not sure why…
38 | Chetan Wed. May. 3, 2006 at 3:06pmPoor Jim can’t tell touching stories about drugs. :( Poor thing. What a great episode…!!
37 | Caleb Mon. May. 1, 2006 at 5:36pm“Thats not funny” -Stanley
O.K. episode. The episodes are getting too Jim & Pam centered. Not that I am against Jim and Pam (sorry, writing JAM is just a bit too much), but those two characters are not why I watch the show.
If I want a romantic comedy, I will watch a romantic comedy.
I want more deadpan humor from Kevin. More Schrute shenanigans and jokes/mocking from Jim. I would rather see more Michael and Jan episodes than Jim and Pam episodes. Again, because Michael and Jan would be an odd couple and that is funny.
Jim & Pam seem too perfect for each other. I don’t want a Jim & Pam relationship to be this show’s “jumping the shark” point. I want the laughs to continue.
I love this show. Just not this episode.
36 | Andrew Mon. May. 1, 2006 at 9:25amSome of the most classic lines ever in this one.
I hurt myself laughing a few times (no really. I have some stitches that are trying to heal. this show is dangerous.)
“Have you ever pooped a balloon?”
Dear God, he played this to the max.
35 | laura Sun. Apr. 30, 2006 at 8:20pmI would love to know if he ever cracks. Or if anyone cracks opposite him. Anyone who doesn’t laugh in the face of the volunteer deputy sheriff is a true professional.
Thought the tension between Jim and Pam was almost intolerable. I loved it. The “hi” made me come unglued.
34 | Michele Sun. Apr. 30, 2006 at 6:32pmThis episode was pretty funny.
33 | Joshua Sun. Apr. 30, 2006 at 10:00amHave you ever pooped a balloon?
OMG
32 | Angela Sat. Apr. 29, 2006 at 3:01pmOh, my God, I totally agree with you on the “hi”. I rewound it like 3 times just to hear him say it. I really, really hope that those two get together in the end. Though it’s kind of compelling in a twisted, weird way to see them apart and trying to get together.
Great episode! The impressions from Jim were wonderful. John Krasinski really did a great job as Stanley!
Crossing my fingers for the episode on iTunes!
31 | Amanda Sat. Apr. 29, 2006 at 8:45amWhat a great episode!! I’d have to put this in
30 | Travis Sat. Apr. 29, 2006 at 5:01ammy top 5 for Season 2 episodes.
Wow. This episode was GREAT! Dwight is sooo gross. “My urine was green.” Ick. The Jim and Pam moments were very precious.
29 | Kenneth Fri. Apr. 28, 2006 at 8:52pmI LOVE this episode, the drug story was entertaining but I was more interested in the JAM story. (Im a big JAM fan) I really felt a lot of sincere Jim/Pam connections in this one, very sweet!
28 | Greg Peterson Fri. Apr. 28, 2006 at 7:43pmI thought this was one of the better episodes, actually. :D Loved it. ^_^
