To celebrate the season finale of The Office tonight at 8.30 et/pt, we're looking back at some of our favourite Dunder Mifflin moments this season.
Episode 5 - Spooked
Not exactly this season's critical darling, but Ellie Kemper's standout performance as Erin - desperately attempting to create the perfect 'adult' Halloween party - definitely bears repeating.
memorable quotes
Erin: Pam, how would you rate me as a receptionist on a scale of 1 to 3?
Pam: Ummm, two?
Erin: That's like the second to last thing I wanted to hear.
Toby: Every Halloween I tell him the same thing; you can't bring weapons into the office, and every year he says the same thing; as soon as I get my weapons back I'm gonna kill you.
Episode 10 - Christmas Wishes
Ed Helms (a.k.a. Andy Bernard, L) makes his directorial debut. A spirited, joyful episode and a welcome addition to anyone's roster of annual Christmas specials.
memorable quotes
Darryl: I meant dressed up compared to normal. You usually dress like a ghostbuster.
Nate: I thought it was because they're all so rich, they could eat popsicles all the time.
Episode 15 - Tallahassee
At a time when critics began complaining The Office was focusing too much on what happens outside of 'the office' a trip to Tallahassee set us up for one of the most laugh-out-loud funny episodes of the season.
memorable quotes
Dwight: I'm a decent baiter. My cousin Mose, that's a master baiter.
Stanley: Life is short. Drive fast. Leave a sexy corpse. That's one of my mottos.
Episode 12 - Pool Party
Arguably the best cold-opens in the history of The Office, Erin hits on Dwight to make Andy jealous, and some amazing character driven scenes.
memorable quotes
Erin: What is the most romantic possible thing?
Dwight: We can get some chicken fights going in the pool.
Jim: I don't mean to brag, but New Year's Eve...I was home by nine.
Episode 18 - Last Day In Florida
Cookie competitions and super-Dwight.
memorable quotes
Jim: It's like he's a super-Dwight - like he was bitten by a Dwight.
Dwight: You think you're excited? You should feel my nipples.
Episode 23 - Turf War
In the last episode before the season finale, Andy takes a break from flambéing cherries and composing rock operas to jumpstart his Dunder Mifflin comeback. Watch this episode online now.
memorable quotes
Dwight: You told me there was a rule. I could have choked so many people by now!
Harry: Who the hell are Jim Halpert and Dwight Schrute?
Erin: Jim, Dwight, what are your last names?
