And I would like to discuss my intentions with you... which are to ask her to marry me. And I was just hoping you would give me your approval. And this isn't a joke.

She's the one.
Jim Halpert
She's amazing. This is very exciting.

I had a great idea until you ruined it.
Oscar Martinez
Wanna know how to do it? Here's how you do it. Take her out to dinner. Go down on one knee. If you are in costume, you did something wrong. If at any point you find yourself tying a ring to a dogs collar, stop, and look at yourself.

Andy Bernard
(playing the Dallas board game) Hmm, I'm gonna play me a little ol' black mail card .
Kevin Malone
Nice.
Andy Bernard
And call a proxy meeting to take control of you and oil once and for all.
Kevin Malone
No you cant do that. You cant play a black mail card and call a proxy meeting in the same turn.
Andy Bernard
Why not. Seems to me we're just making up rules cause somebody forgot to staple the rules to the inside of the game like a normal human being.
Darryl Philbin
And I'm gonna play this here share the wealth card.
Andy Bernard
Oooh.
Darryl Philbin
Which entitles me to half of both of y'alls money so if you don't mind.
Kevin Malone
no this card is from the wrong game this is from the game of life.
Darryl Philbin
It was in the box.
Andy Bernard
Well played.
Darryl Philbin
Thank you.

Michael Scott
How about this I throw a corpse dressed like me off of the roof, it hits the ground, the head pops off, this leads me to the line ' I lost my head when I fell in love with you.'
Jim Halpert
That's a guarantee.
Michael Scott
It's easy enough to get a corpse, you just go to a med school. I already have the ring.
Jim Halpert
Don't think you need the corpse then.
Michael Scott
Heres the ring.
Pam Beesly
Holy s*** is that real?
Michael Scott
Yeah. I saved 3 years salary.
Oscar Martinez
No. (shakes head back and forth)
Michael Scott
Is she not going to like that?
Pam Beesly
No she's going to love it so I think you can keep the proposal simple. You know like when Jim proposed. He just he got down on one knee and he told me that he loved me and he asked me to marry him and it was perfect.
Oscar Martinez
Where was that.
Jim Halpert
At a gas station. (oscar laughs)
Michael Scott
At a gas station?
Jim Halpert
Oh it was when she was working in New York so it was halfway between both of us.
Michael Scott
That mush have been a surprise when... at the gas station you proposed.
Pam Beesly
No it was really it was really sweet. It was raining and..
Michael Scott
Oh yea you didn't say that the weather was bad that sounds perfect. I want this to be an event that everyone talks about always and forever.
Jim Halpert
Totally reasonable.
Michael Scott
I just... it's terrifying.
Pam Beesly
She's not gonna say no.
Michael Scott
I know but I'm still scared I don't know why.
Jim Halpert
Cause it's a big deal. I mean.. I knew Pam was gonna say yes but I was still scared.
Pam Beesly
You were scared?
Jim Halpert
Yeah... it.s scary.
