Yet Another Great Office Moment

This week, on the episode entitled money, there was a back and forth argument among the employees about the proper use of the word "whomever." The script for this argument can be seen in Mrs. Schrute's recent post. This scene reminded me of one of my other favorite Office scenes of all time, in "Casino Night."

Michael: I am going to donate to Afghanistanis with AIDS.
Jim: Nope, I think you mean the AIDS of Afghanistan.
Michael: No, I mean Afghanistanis with AIDS.
Phyllis: Afghani.
Michael: What?
Phyllis: Afghani.
Michael: That's a dog.
Pam: No, that's afghan.
Michael: No, that's a shawl.
Dwight: Wait. Canine AIDS?
Michael: No, humans with AIDS.
Creed: Who has AIDS?
Jim: Guys, the Afghanistananies.
Michael: Kay, You know what? No, no. AIDS is not funny. Believe me, I have tried.

And another favorite (from the same episode)

Michael: Oh, and another fun thing. We, at the end of the night are going to give the check to an actual group of boyscouts, right Toby? We're gonna-
Toby: Actually I didn't think it was appropriate to invite children since it's, uh, you know, there's gambling and alcohol, and it's in our dangerous warehouse. It's a school night and, you know, Hooter's is catering and...is that eno-is that enough? Should I keep goin'?
Long pause.
Michael: Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, everytime I try to do something fun, or exciting, you make it... not... that way. Breath. I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.
