The Office -- Season 8: "Ray is Moving to Humpty Doo"

"That's it. I'm moving to Australia. There's a city in the Northern Territory named "Humpty Doo." - Ray, reviewing one of David's maps on Australia

"good idea,." Ray (via IM, responding to Dana's suggestion)
"That was an extra comma for you ... no charge." - Ray
"wow, that's a true bargain. You won't believe how much the other commas were." - Dana
"I buy them in bulk. The problem with the Sam's Club commas is sometimes they put an apostrophe in the carton. No quality control." - Ray

“Well, you know, once you work your way past the stress reflex, a whole new world of sanctifying experiences opens up." Christy, misquoting Ratatouille (Emile: "You know, once you work your way past the gag reflex, a whole new world of taste sensations opens up") on the subject of insane deadlines.

“Christy. Frameworks is done.” – Brittainy
“YES!! WOOHOOO! Everybody pay attention! Frameworks is DONE!!! That’s two years of work, baby!” – Christy, reaching to turn on the “Celebration” song that we reserve for these moments
Sixty seconds later…
“Christy, can you turn down the music?” - Amy
“Two years, Amy!” – Christy
“Yes, but I’m trying to communicate with Brittainy” – Amy
Twenty seconds later…
“Mom, come look at something.” – David
“No, I want to feed my fish right now!” – Mommy, cutely
“Boy, everybody is being petulant today.” – Christy

"So let it be written, so let it be done. Emphasis on the "done" part. That’s gonna be the theme for the End-of-Redesign project party.” – Christy

"I don't think of you as a beer-bibber. I don't think you have a beer bib." - Dad to Christy

“You hate our guts…” – Christy, singing aloud to the recalcitrant printer
“I don’t either.” – David, walking into the room
“You do, you do!” – Christy
“I love your guts.” – David
“I wasn’t even talking to you.” – Christy
“You have cute guts.” – David

“Gentlemen prefer blondes and moms prefer audio. That’s just the way it is.” – Christy on presentation of information to Tapestry customers

“You bolded your name just because it looked better, didn’t you?” – Christy to David
“Yup.” – David
“You’re such a font nerd.” – Christy

“Don’t use a minced oath when a real one will do. If you’re going to sin, sin boldly. None of this mincy hypocritical pussy-footing around.” – Christy

“Ray and I concur: ‘Gesundheit’ was invented so that the sneezing person wouldn't feel lonely.” – David

“Do you know what we use generators for around here?” – Christy to David
“For our little scaly friends.” – Lauren, referencing the fish

Marcia’s Lessons for Life: “If you’re a guy and a girl is having problems, come and hover. You may not lift a finger, but she’ll feel cared for. If you don’t, or if you offer to help from your seat, you’ll look callous.”

“That’s right. You can’t lose anything by hovering, and you get huge points for being sympathetic.” – Christy
“I know plenty of teenage guys who got into a lot of trouble by hovering.” – David
“That’s because they like the girl.” – Christy
“Those are teenage guys, not big strong men.” – Mom

“Well, I guess that would be the English pronunciation…” – Christy, in tones of disappointment
“Which is the language you speak.” – David
“Not by choice!” – Christy

“Mommy, I’m really really sorry…. For myself” – David
