Koi Pond quotes
Michael: Join your gangster pumpkin on his pallet truck of doom.
Darryl: This is a surgery with an octopus and a burn victim.
Darryl: Label yourselves or take what you get.
Jim: Yes, I am the popular social networking site known as Bookface.
Michael: Why is Christmas the only holiday that can have a message?
Michael: Who wants candy?
Michael: I can’t believe it’s yogurt.
Michael: Why would you date an amateur when you could date a professional?
Michael: Let me go get your stroller.
Michael: This is not the phone, this is real life, baby, and you gotta own it.
Jim: He’s trying to micro co-manage me. Or … co-micromanage me.
Andy: Now my head hurts. Feels like I held in a sneeze.
Michael: Jim and I got caught in a little flash rain, flash wind, flash lightning.
Meredith: I don’t think it rained. My hip would be throbbing.
Andy: Looks like somebody’s got a case of the “definitelys.”
Oscar: Did Michael fall into a koi pond?
Michael: I’m not going to bump, and it was not hilarious.
Jim: Truthfully, it wasn’t the way he fell in, it was how long it took him to get out.
Andy: My girlfriend, on a scale of 1 to Gisele, uh, a 9.
Andy: We put our baby in Pam. It doesn’t matter what Pam looks like.
Stanley: Michael, don’t listen to them. You just ignore their carping.
Dwight: They’re mocking you with wordplay!
Creed: Hey boss, did you find Nemo?
Oscar: Don’t you mean, ‘Koi Story’?
Phyllis: When you fell in, did you flounder?
Michael: I’m not usually the butt of the joke. I’m usually the face of the joke.
Michael: Who here has been koi ponded?
Andy: I love to dance …
Pam: … I love to watch him dance!
Phyllis: So now you’re comparing yourself to a cute, tiny animal?
Creed: Who’s your worm guy?
Andy: Omigosh, like a little magical foot just high-fived me!
Andy: Message received, little soybean.
Jim: I am a big, stupid goofball.
Michael: I just wanna say that I cannot believe that I walked into a koi pond. I mean, seriously. Walk much? Oh. I should wear a snorkel to the next business meeting that I go to.
Phyllis: Michael. You know, when you think about it, it’s not all your fault. I mean, who puts a koi pond in a lobby?
Michael: Well, you know what? You’re right, Phyllis, but I’ve been there before. I’ve seen that pond. This is the thing, I am a world class moron. That’s the problem.
Dwight: Michael, please. Stop it now. You’re embarrassing yourself.
Michael: It’s okay. We’re having fun. It’s actually not the first time I’ve been embarrassed by a pond. In high school, the girls volleyball team always used to throw me into the frozen lake. Four years in a row. Oh… it was freezing. No. No. No. Oh, this is even worse. Couple weeks ago, I went to get a new cell phone and I wanted one of those packages where you have the five, you know, the friends, friends and family thing, and the guy was like, “who are your five friends?” and I’m, like, “uh…,” I didn’t even know, I couldn’t even think. Oh my god, it was so embarrassing. I don’t even have Jan’s cell phone number, and I hate her! She won’t give it to me. I was like, “oh, I guess I’m a loser.” A loooooze-er. Too far! God! Thanks a lot, man. Thanks for the advice.
Kevin: Enjoying your nut?
Andy: Going by the Nard Dog curve, I’d say we nailed it!
Andy: I gotta get my goin’ out on.
Kevin: No, use QuickTime. Trust me, I’ve done this.
Jim: It’s a killer new dance move.
Dwight: Jim is my enemy, but it turns out that Jim is also his own worst enemy. And the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So Jim is actually my friend. But, because he is his own worst enemy, the enemy of my friend is my enemy. So actually Jim is my enemy. But …
Michael: Jim is jealous of me? Jim is jealous of me.
Erin: He’s like the coolest person I’ve ever met.
Pam: I actually do mean Marlon Wayans. Yeah.

I just got the Season 6 Dvd and it does not have the Halloween intro for this episode. Is there a reason this was taken out? Is this an error?
Halloween opening was taken out for this rerun. Is it just because of the time of the year.
And Andy and Pam were amazing too. They went from being mistaken as a married couple to having people think they are a married couple. All because of Pam’s pregnancy. They played nice.
I loved the way the office buddies make fun of Michael. And the “Do Not Mock” list.
I just saw this article on MSN.

Suicide prevention groups “worry that the graphic depiction of Carell struggling in a hangman’s noose might encourage mentally ill people to take their own lives.”
I think they may be overreacting a little.
enjoyed the episodes w/ linda purl. would watch regularly if she appeared regularly.
awesome episode…pam is so big!
[200-word limit]
Really liked this one…funny, but showed so much vulnerability from Michael and Andy. I like that Jim and Pam aren’t so perfect, but human and do things they regret later.
I thinks it’s clear that Jim/Pam have a strong enough relationship that they don’t need to be fooling around or whatever. so it really doesn’t matter.
“I wish Jim would have fallen into the koi pond…damn, he’d still look good!”
Also, love that Jim said exactly the right thing to get back on Michael’s good side :)
I just spent like five minutes trying to figure out what it said under Erin’s name on the white board… I think it said “orphan.” Lol!
Did anyone notice that under Ryan’s name on the white board it said “Kelly”? LOL! Ryan regrets Kelly and doesn’t want to be mocked about her, haha!
Hilarious episode. It looks like Pam doesn’t like Erin’s by-the-book approach to the D-M receptionist job. Also, Erin respects Michael. Pam had little to no respect for Michael and would often manipulate him. The Pam/Andy scenes were great. Impressive comedic acting by Helms and Fischer. Michael’s over-sharing when he was attempting to poke fun at himself was both hilarious and heart-breaking. “I’m a la-hooooo-ser!!” Great acting by Carell. Also, I hope Erin and The Nard Dog get together soon. They would make a great couple. Season 6 has been very strong thus far.
that was such a hilarious episode. i just wish there was more halloween. watch the deleted scenes on nbc.com – there is the FULL security tape video of the koi pond incident.
ps. for those of you who miss pam and jim fooling around, i think it’ll start happening again after the baby
Having watched it about five times now (…) I really would’ve enjoyed an episode revolving around Michael making plans to turn the warehouse into a haunted house. Just look at all the stuff there, it looks like just as much of a project as Casino Night! THAT would’ve been a much better idea for an episode.
Don’t get me wrong though, I still liked this episode. But it could’ve been done later in the season to make room for the Haunted House plot.
Oh and also “Gangsta Pumpkin”!
Hahahahahahahahaha
Great episode!
♥ Andy & Erin,
♥ sittin’ in a tree!
♥ K, I, S, S,
♥ I, N, G
I felt okay about this episode. It falls somewhere in the middle for me personally. When Kevin told Erin that he would kill her, I was cracking up. Michael had a couple of memorable lines “Damn it, he would still look good” sticks out in my mind. I, like a lot of people, think Erin is being integrated really well. I’m sure it’s been a challenge, as it is hard to incorporate new characters in any show, but also because she’s filling in for Pam, a much loved receptionist. It wasn’t my favorite of the season, but much better than Mafia.
I feel for Andy, I really do, but I think him with Erin would be weird. Don’t get me wrong, I want him to be with someone…just not Erin. She just seems too young.
