TV personality

Can the studios please agree to pay their writers anything they want?

... because this week's "Office" was pretty freaking brilliant. I have to say, it was an excellent way for the strike-induced hiatus to begin. Such a cliffhanger with Jan and Michael! Will he keep her after her betrayal? Goodness, I can't wait to find out.

Alas, I shall have to.

Anyway, here are this week's quotes. Kerry Sullivan, official quote-chooser to "TV personality," is having computer issues, but her boyfriend kindly agreed to e-mail them to me.

The quote: "Sometimes I bring him juice. My boyfriend is twelve."
Who said it: Pam (Jenna Fischer), talking about Jim (John Krasinski) and his new lunchtime ping pong games in the warehouse.

The quote: "Were Jim's parents first cousins who were also bad at ping pong?"
Who said it: Kelly (Mindy Kaling), talking smack because Jim always loses!

The quote: "There are plenty of things he's good at. Like ice skating. He's a very good ice skater."
Who said it: Jan (Melora Hardin), elaborating on her boyfriend's good points.

The quote: "Line?"
Who said it: Jan's own boyfriend, Michael (Steve Carell), after forgetting his rehearsed responses at the deposition in Jan's lawsuit against Dunder Mifflin.

The quote: "All of my heroes are table tennis players."
Who said it: Dwight (Rainn Wilson), on why he's so good at ping pong/

The quote: "She was going through a divorce, and she was drinking a lot...of water."
Who said it: Michael, again saying the wrong thing at the deposition.
