In season 8 episode 16 of The Office, "After Hours", Dwight and the Florida team stay late to work on a project. This page includes the full script, all the quotes, and every line from the episode.
Pam Beesly:Hey Angela, you wanna see a picture of Phillip wearing those little booties you got us?
Angela Martin:So cute.
Oscar Martinez:Hey, you guys want to see a picture of Gerald wearing galoshes? He refused to go out in the rain until I bought these. Now going out in the rain is all he wants to do.
Pam Beesly:Oscar thinks that having a dog is just like having a baby.
Angela Martin:News flash - If you didn't carry it around for nine months, it isn't your kid.
Pam Beesly:Exactly. Unless you adopted, of course.
Angela Martin:That is where we disagree.
Oscar Martinez:Hey, are your little dudes crawling yet?
Pam Beesly:No, three-month-old humans don't do that.
Angela Martin:My Phillip is crawling.
Pam Beesly:Angela is such a liar!
Oscar Martinez:It's maddening!
Oscar Martinez:Exactly. That's just like crate training. All night long, all night long.
Pam Beesly:Well count yourself lucky. Wait until you have two. That's two sleep schedules, two naps that don't coincide, I mean, you'll never sleep again.
Angela Martin:No one said "you must have two"
Oscar Martinez:Like her genes are so important. The world just needs more Pam/Jim DNA. Thank you, no.
Angela Martin:No thank you.
Andy Bernard:(laughing) Check this out. My brother just got a new sailboat. He has NO idea what he just got himself into. There's nothing harder than taking care of a boat…am i right?
Angela & Pam:Unbelievable!
Oscar Martinez:Un-be-liev-a-ble.
Nellie Bertram:It is the end of the day, it is the end of the week. We managed to fill 40 hours somehow. That's not bad, is it?
Todd Packer:That's great.
Dwight Schrute:Pretty good.
Nellie Bertram:Well thank you. This is very helpful feedback. (Dwight raises his hand) Dwight, I am still not ready to name a VP.
Dwight Schrute:(laughing) That's not what I was going to ask. Gosh, jump to conclusions. Come on, I know, you've got so much on your plate. Right now, you're like 'oh, what's more important? Dwight's question, figure out who's the VP?' Dwight, VP. Dwight, VP. Dwight, VP. Dwight, VP.
Nellie Bertram:I can't be hypnotized, Dwight. I tried it, I ended up smoking more.
Dwight Schrute:Can we at least eliminate those that are not in the running? Free them up to focus more completely on the menial. Like stacking or sorting, or-
Jim Halpert:Catching butterflies.
Dwight Schrute:That's a hobby, unless it's for food.
Nellie Bertram:Alright, I'm gonna eliminate three people right now, okay? Just… you three, no.
Todd Packer:Not good enough (clicks tongue)
Dwight Schrute:English peoples' main use today is judging American talent. (British accent) You're crap. You're wonderful. (back to American) They're mean, but they're incisive.
Nellie Bertram:Everyone meet in the hotel bar at 7:00. I'm not allowed to say it's mandatory, so let's just call it compulsory.
Todd Packer:I'll be there at 6:00
Cathy:Ugh, we're gonna have one of those crazy nights, aren't we? Maybe we'll see the real 'Talla-nasty' we've been hearing so much about.
Jim Halpert:'Talla-nasty', very clever.
Cathy:Thank you-
Gabe Lewis:Wait, wait, you think she invented 'Talla-nasty?' (chuckles) no, no, no, no…
Jim Halpert:Cathy? It's been great. Fun, normal. (in voiceover) I thought I was gonna be hanging out with stanley on this trip, but he's turned out to be kind of a loose cannon.
Stanley Hudson:My friend and I are new here in Tallahassee. Would you like to get a cocktail? (Jim slowly slinks down in his seat, with the 'Jim Face'). Maybe go out for a little dancing. Beautiful day, no?
Andy Bernard:Okay, everybody. 5:00. Workday is over. Put your pencils down. Aaannnnddd bring 'em back up, because now, the late night work jam begins!
Pam Beesly:Yes, the conference room is set up. I've got pens, I've got paper, I've got a whiteboard, we are good to go!
Andy Bernard:Say what?
Pam Beesly:We are good to goooo!
Andy Bernard:Say what?
Pam Beesly:We're good to goooo!
Angela Martin:Stop it.
Andy Bernard:Say-
Angela Martin:Stop it.
Oscar Martinez:Andy.
Andy Bernard:Tonight we're staying late to service the accounts of the people who went on the Florida trip.
Pam Beesly:Yes, of course, we could've just been doing this the whole time, but SOMEONE dropped the ball.
Andy Bernard:…ball droppings can be beautiful. For example, when it turns an awkward soprano into a rich, full tenor.
Todd Packer:Jason Bourne would kick Bond's ass.
Nellie Bertram:Jason Bourne has no support staff. His own government's out to get him.
Dwight Schrute:Genghis Khan could take 'em both down 'cause he's not afraid to kill children … What? it's true. He- He would- he would eviscerate babies and hang them from poles outside of the villages. (Jim taps Dwight on the shoulder)
Todd Packer:Okay, drinking game. Count of three, take three sips.
Dwight Schrute:That's a stupid game. I got a great drinking game. Okay, everyone empty your pockets. Whoever has the most seeds is the king. Whoever has the least buttons is the hunchback.
Gabe Lewis:What happens if you're the hunchback?
Dwight Schrute:Oh, you get kicked.
Jim Halpert:How many buttons do you have?
Dwight Schrute:(takes out bag) 40. Always.
Cathy:Can I see?
Dwight Schrute:Sure. (Hands bag to Cathy)
Cathy:So, I get to kick you now.
Dwight Schrute:No, they're not transferrable just 'cause I handed 'em to you.
Cathy:Well, that's how I played it in college.
Jim Halpert:College rules (Cathy throws Jim the bag and Jim kicks Dwight)
Dwight Schrute:Aah!
Todd Packer:Aaaaand he host at his own lame game.
Nellie Bertram:Ooh, double meaning! The game was lame, and now he's lame from the kick. Quick wit.
Todd Packer:Thank you.
Ryan Howard:I'll have a glass of your oakiest chardonnay, please.
Erin Hannon:And I will have waffle with your mapliest syrup.
Waitress:Sorry, no waffles.
Erin Hannon:Oh, okay. Just forget it, then. Forget it. Forget it.
Ryan Howard:A waffle?
Erin Hannon:A hotel waffle. I know what I want to eat. Is that crazy?
Ryan Howard:No.
Erin Hannon:I'm moving down here, you know.
Ryan Howard:Oh, no, I didn't know.
Erin Hannon:I'm young, and I can … and if I can't, I'm still pretty young. I guess I'll always be young.
Ryan Howard:You come with me. We're gonna get you that waffle.
Ryan Howard:Why would Erin confide in me that she's staying here in Florida if she didn't want me to make some last-ditch, nothing to lose, Kelly Ka-who run at her? (Erin walks over) Hey.
Erin Hannon:Hey.
Pam Beesly:Watson carpet and tile.
Kevin Malone:One order.
Oscar Martinez:Order reference number 00983-126.
Phyllis Vance:Eight Cases, bright white inkjet.
Angela Martin:Paid.
Kelly Kapoor:I'm dying!
Darryl Philbin:Processed.
Val:And delivered.
Kelly Kapoor:Sometimes I get so bored I just want to scream, and then sometimes I actually do scream. I just sorta feel out what the situation calls for.
Nellie Bertram:I will be right back.
Todd Packer:I will be here.
Dwight Schrute:Hey. I see what you're doing. It's futile. the VP position is mine.
Todd Packer:Oh, please, You're through. She's going to give it to me as I'm giving it to her tonight. The cowgirl has chosen her saddle. (clicks tongue, whinnies)
Dwight Schrute:Well, saddles… (clicks tongue, whinnies) … sometimes fall off, especially if you don't properly cinch the girth.
Todd Packer:What? That's a joke, right? You see the way she's all over me.
Dwight Schrute:If anyone's having sex with Nellie for personal gain, it's me, and I'm not joking at all. If you don't tighten your saddle, you may fall off.
Andy Bernard:Who is ready for dinner? "oh, I bet it's pizza, or tacos, or something stupid". No. (claps) I went south of the border for this. And then I went south of that border. And we have ourselves… (takes foil off tray)(Jamaican accent) A Jamaican feast, mon!
Phyllis Vance:If I wanted Jamaican food I'd just hire a bunch of bodyguards and go there.
Andy Bernard:Additional trivia factoid, this food comes to us through Val. And our server is none other than Brandon, her boyf!
Val:Hey.
Brandon:How you doing, Val? (Val and Brandon kiss)
Oscar Martinez:Jamaican, huh? I just read about the elections down there. Crazy stuff.
Brandon:Oh no, I'm not actually Jamaican.
Oscar Martinez:Terrific.
Darryl Philbin:What's up man? I'm Darryl.
Brandon:Darryl, I heard about you. You doing good?
Darryl Philbin:Oh yeah.
Brandon:Must be doing real good since you're f***ing my girlfriend.
Everyone:Whoa.
Kevin Malone:Dude, you didn't tell me you were f***ing Val. High five!
Darryl Philbin:I'm not sleeping with your girlfriend.
Val:Brandon, what the hell are you talking about?
Brandon:Don't play dumb with me. I know what's up.
Val:Honey, I am not sleeping with-
Andy Bernard:Heyyy… let's get back to the food. Brandon, tell us about these delicious looking goops!
Nellie Bertram:And a wave crashing… a wave crashing.
Nellie Bertram:Oh, that is lovely.
Jim Halpert:Alright, that's gonna do it for me tonight. Have a lovely evening.
Jim Halpert:Hey, how's it going?
Cathy:Hey, uh, good. Uh, the heating system though in my room is all messed up. It's like 90 degrees in there. Maintenance is working on it. Can I hang out here?
Jim Halpert:Uh… yeah, I'm just watching basketball.
Cathy:Okay, yeah.
Jim Halpert:Okay.
Cathy:Cool… (Jumps onto bed) Is this March Madness? I love March Madness.
Jim Halpert:Oh, no, that's not this 'cause that's in… March. Uh, this is just the NBA. Professional. Miami Heat, actually, so… (sits on floor)
Cathy:LeBron James.
Jim Halpert:Yes, nice. Good word association
Cathy:(giggles)
Nellie Bertram:Impressive.
Dwight Schrute:Oh please, anyone can tie a knot, the real skill is in untying it (puts string in his mouth)
Andy Bernard:Thornwood Wholesalers.
Kevin Malone:One order.
Brandon:I read the text you sent to Val, man.
Val:That's messed up.
Angela Martin:Is this spicy?
Brandon:No, baby girl. It would be messed up if I didn't find anything, but I did, so-
Andy Bernard:I'm pretty sure if Darryl sent Val a text, it was about some paper emergency or something.
Brandon:At midnight?
Andy Bernard:… yeah…
Kevin Malone:It happens! Like a hospital needs more napkins for surgery…
Kelly Kapoor:Guys, we're not gonna settle anything this way. I think we just need to be grown-ups here.
Andy Bernard:Thank you.
Kelly Kapoor:I thin we're gonna need to here those texts.
Andy Bernard:Kelly, remember how you wanted to go home before?
Kelly Kapoor:No. There's no way in hell I'm leaving. Something interesting is happening here for once in my life, I am staying here. Darryl, read the texts.
Jim Halpert:Yup, coming. (opens door) All right.
Stanley Hudson:My mini bar is oddly out of rum.
Jim Halpert:We have plenty.
Stanley Hudson:Oh, hello. (laughs with Cathy)
Jim Halpert:Do you want to watch the game with us? We're watching a game. The Heat game. Just a game.
Stanley Hudson:Got it. Good night. Careful Jim, it gets easier and easier.
Jim Halpert:No, no, no, Stanley.
Stanley Hudson:mm-hmm. (about to leave)
Jim Halpert:Stanley. Stanley.
Stanley Hudson:uh-huh.
Jim Halpert:Stanley. Uhh… you know what? Just bring back those bottles!
Erin Hannon:Whoa. the lights are still on.
Ryan Howard:Yeah, they keep them on 'cause it's less expensive than turning them on and off.
Erin Hannon:I like how guys just know stuff all the time.
Ryan Howard:Girls know a lot of stuff too, okay? And nobody knows more than you. Especially me.
Erin Hannon:(gasps) Hello, waffle iron.
Ryan Howard:Hello, what do we have here?
Erin Hannon:Okay, so the recipe says we need a mixing bowl…
Ryan Howard:Right.
Erin Hannon:… a measuring cup…
Ryan Howard:Got that. (Metallic thud) Get down.
Erin Hannon:(whispers) It's the fuzz!
Ryan Howard:(whispers) Shh! do you want us to get scolded? Shut your beautiful, beautiful mouth, please.
Darryl Philbin:"I got too much ice cream. You want some?" "Getting' my fry on."
Kelly Kapoor:Boring.
Darryl Philbin:Uh, "The moon is huge tonight."
Phyllis Vance:Ooh, gosh, the moon one's damning. Yeah, sorry.
Darryl Philbin:That's regular text talk.
Brandon:You forgot one.
Darryl Philbin:"You're such a great friend."
Brandon:With the dots.
Darryl Philbin:"You're such a great friend, dot dot dot dot dot."
Kelly Kapoor:Five dots, Darryl, are you kidding me? Okay, 'cause three dots means 'to be continued', four dots is a typo, but five dots means "Whoa, do not make me say what I want to say, baby, but if I did, it would blow your mind, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
Everyone:Oh…
Brandon:See? Yes. Thank you, sister.
Val:Brandon, Darryl and me? That's ridiculous, right?
Darryl Philbin:Yeah, totally crazy. Puts me in an insane asylum just thinking about it. I'm stranded on shutter island over here.
Nellie Bertram:You look like Ed Harris if they stretched him a little bit.
Dwight Schrute:You wanna see a picture of me trapped under a tree? (cell phone rings) …ahhmmm… excuse me… What?! Not now, I'm busy.
Jim Halpert:(on phone) I'm sorry, I thought you'd want to know that I saw a bedbug in my room. But, never mind, sorry to interrupt.
Dwight Schrute:Wait wait wait wait, bedbugs? Oh no… Freak, I need a favor.
Gabe Lewis:Well, then you have to call me by my name. Gabriel Susan Lewis.
Dwight Schrute:I gotta be gone for a few minutes. You make sure that Packer does NOT sleep with Nellie.
Gabe Lewis:What's in it for GSL?
Dwight Schrute:You really want Packer as your boss?
Gabe Lewis:Got it.
Dwight Schrute:If Jim has bedbugs, that means they're everywhere. I can't risk them coming back to Schrute Farms. Our biggest attraction is our 200 year old mattresses.
Dwight Schrute:Where did you see it?
Jim Halpert:In the bed.
Cathy:I haven't seen anything.
Dwight Schrute:We gotta find it before it eggs. (pulls sheets off bed)
Cathy:Jeez…
Dwight Schrute:Describe it.
Jim Halpert:Brown, shiny, painful bite.
Dwight Schrute:Could be a bat weevil… Describe its mood. Did it seen sleepy?
Jim Halpert:Stressed, but to be fair, it was a tense situation.
Dwight Schrute:Fair enough, but after it bit you, did it run away fearful, or did it walk away smug, self-assured?
Jim Halpert:So smug. Like he thought it was funny, like this.
Dwight Schrute:Pshh. That's a bedbug.
Jim Halpert:Yeah.
Dwight Schrute:Everything's a joke.
Jim Halpert:I know.
Dwight Schrute:Check your hair! (checks Jim's hair)
Jim Halpert:Ow.
Dwight Schrute:God, oh. So greasy, you should just shave all this.
Jim Halpert:Just check it.
Dwight Schrute:You are clean. Okay… One thing a bedbug thrives on is heat and carbon dioxide (starts running in place and turning up the thermostat) I am going to generate myself into a human trap. (starts to take off clothes) When I jump into the bed, you are going to cover me with the sheet immediately. And then we'll see who's laughing. (dastardly laugh)
Jim Halpert:Alright.
Dwight Schrute:Yeah. (jumps into bed) Cover me!
Cathy:Is this really nessecary?
Jim Halpert:He knows what he's doing.
Dwight Schrute:Let the bedbugs bite!
Cathy:Ugh, god, I feel so gross. I have to go take a shower.
Jim Halpert:Alright, then I will catch you later… What do we do now?
Dwight Schrute:We wait. (Shower starts) Come to papa.
Jim Halpert:Oh.
Jim Halpert:I don't know, Dwight, I think maybe you should check again.
Dwight Schrute:Nope, I wasn't bitten.
Jim Halpert:Well, maybe it isn't warm enough in here.
Dwight Schrute:Oh, it's plenty warm, and I was farting continuously under the sheet, creating a kind of greenhouse effect.
Jim Halpert:Come on.
Dwight Schrute:If there were any in here, They would've imbedded themselves in me.
Jim Halpert:You know what? Maybe they just ate.
Dwight Schrute:No, you're good. Clean bill of health! Besides I gotta get back downstairs. I left Packer alone with Nellie for way too long.
Jim Halpert:Okay, they're fine. They're adults.
Dwight Schrute:No, that's the problem. Packer is trying to bed Nellie for the VP job unless I do it first.
Jim Halpert:Is that really how you want to get this job?
Dwight Schrute:Such a chorus girl.
Jim Halpert:Okay, Dwight… Dwight… Dwight, Dwight Dwight!… uh…
Cathy:(in a bathrobe) Is crazy gone?
Nellie Bertram:Oh!
Gabe Lewis:They don't make these cords in boot cut anymore!
Dwight Schrute:Euughh… Pathetic, huh? A real man swallows his vomit when a lady is present… Hey.
Cathy:Yeah, one death by chocolate, one bananas foster… Okay, cool. Thanks… I know, I'm a pig, right?
Jim Halpert:Hmm? No.
Cathy:(giggles) Wait, this why I exercise like a fiend. Feel. Seriously.
Jim Halpert:Okay alright. (gets up) I'm really sorry, uh, I just have to say it. I'm-I'm married. I'm very happily married.
Cathy:Oh my God, what are you thinking?
Jim Halpert:um… I mean-
Cathy:I know that you're married, I sat at your wife's desk. How little do you think of me?
Jim Halpert:I'm sorry, I feel like maybe I'm-I'm I misread things. Okay, let's just go back to watching.
Cathy:Can you… without running to the other side of the room all night?
Jim Halpert:Yes, I can. (Cathy laughs) uh, all right. I'm really sorry. I think we'll just… we'll just watch. You can watch, not watch, whatever you want to do. Take another shower, I don't care.
Cathy:Okay. (Sits next to Jim.) I am so cold.
Jim Halpert:(Jim Face)
Pam Beesly:Hey, Darryl. You okay?
Darryl Philbin:She's got a boyfriend.
Andy Bernard:Play it cool, man. She'll come around.
Pam Beesly:No, you should go for it. I mean nothing would've happened with me and Jim if he didn't put himself out there.
Andy Bernard:Yeah, but… My friend Jim would tell you to play it cool.
Pam Beesly:My husband would tell you to go for it.
Ryan Howard:Hey.
Erin Hannon:Hey.
Ryan Howard:Hey.
Erin Hannon:Hey.
Ryan Howard:Hey, this is fun.
Erin Hannon:A lot of fun.
Ryan Howard:I know. Can I give you a compliment? I'm really impressed by how much you've grown. Since I met you, it's like night and day.
Erin Hannon:You should move down here with me.
Ryan Howard:Yeah?
Erin Hannon:We could be roommates.
Ryan Howard:Really?
Erin Hannon:We could get a dog. We could go to R-rated movies. And who knows, I mean, you're a guy, I'm a girl-
Ryan Howard:Yeah.
Erin Hannon:Maybe in six months-
Ryan Howard:(louder) Six months?… um, okay, I'm in love with Kelly.
Nellie Bertram:Put your forehead near mine, and see if you can read my thoughts.
Dwight Schrute:Okay… Seven, one, one, nine…
Nellie Bertram:No, no, no, not numbers, no.
Dwight Schrute:No, okay.
Nellie Bertram:No.
Dwight Schrute:Try again… Ugh, I'm still getting numbers! Seven, one, one… is anyone around here thinking the numbers seven one one? 'Cause please stop, okay?
Nellie Bertram:Dwight, give me a key card to your room. Meet me in seven minutes for some one-on-one time.
Dwight Schrute:(gasps)Wait, the numbers!
Nellie Bertram:Mm-hmm.
Dwight Schrute:oh…
Nellie Bertram:mm-hmm…
Dwight Schrute:There you go.
Nellie Bertram:I will see you in seven-
Dwight Schrute:Seven minutes. (Dwight and Nellie kiss)… Nellie, wait. Let me write my room number on the card. (chuckles). (Dwight writes on the key card scratches it with a magnet and hands it back to Nellie)
Dwight Schrute:(in voiceover) Win at all costs, don't respect women. These are the tenets I was brought up with, and they have served me well. But my ancestors never worked in corporate America, and before that, hunters. And before that, time travelers. And before that, me again. At least, that's how the legend goes. The point is they never had to worry about how they got ahead. They just had to put food on the table and not alter the past.
Angela Martin:1434-967, paid.
Darryl Philbin:It has been processed.
Val:It has been delivered.
Pam Beesly:That's it, last one.
Kelly Kapoor:Andy this has been an amazing night. Epic.
Andy Bernard:Cool-down fiesta begins right now. I got decaf coffee…
Phyllis Vance:No way.
Andy Bernard:I got Romy and Michele's High School Reunion…
Val:Hey. I just wanted to apologize. I mean, that was so weird. Can we just, like, never talk about it again?
Darryl Philbin:Sure.
Val:Okay, thanks.
Darryl Philbin:Hey, just so you know, me and you… I don't think that's ridiculous… Dot, dot, dot… dot, dot.
Jim Halpert:All right. Now I think it's time for you to go.
Cathy:What? Oh, Jim, I thought we talked about this. You're cool, right?
Jim Halpert:Cathy, go.
Dwight Schrute:(wearing face mask with spray chemicals in hand) Where's the bug?
Jim Halpert:Awesome.
Dwight Schrute:(sprays the bed and Cathy) Stand back!
Cathy:Aah! Stop, it, oh my god! That burns! what is that?!
Dwight Schrute:(continues spraying the bed) It's a compound of chemicals I pulled off the maid's cart!
Cathy:(coughs and moans)
Jim Halpert:Right there! (points to Cathy)
Cathy:Oh stop it, stop it, stop it!
Jim Halpert:(coughs) Oh, big one! Big one! Really big one!
Cathy:I can't breathe!
Dwight Schrute:I think I saw it!
Cathy:Stop it! (runs out the door)
Jim Halpert:Nice job, I think you got 'em.
Dwight Schrute:You can't stay here, this place is a biohazard. If I were you, I'd just bunk with Cathy.
Jim Halpert:(Jim face)
Dwight Schrute:Second best Bananas Foster I've ever had.
Jim Halpert:Oh yeah? What's the first best?
Nellie Bertram:(at the door, unsuccessfully trying to open it with the demagnetized key card) Dwight? (knocks) Hello? Dwight?
Jim Halpert:(whispers) Is that Nellie?
Dwight Schrute:(whispers) Don't let-shh!
Nellie Bertram:Are you in there? I can see the light on under your door. Hello? (knocks)(Dwight turns off the lights) Oh, look at that. The light went off, just as I said the light went on. Hello? (knocks) Dwight? (whispers) Dwight. (Dwight eats his Bananas Foster)
In "The Office" episode 16, season 8, "After Hours," the Florida team works late. Dwight vies for the VP position. He tries to sleep with Nellie to get it. Jim avoids Cathy's advances. She keeps trying to get into his hotel room. She claims there is a bed bug issue. Dwight sprays her with chemicals.
Meanwhile, back in Scranton, Andy leads the office in a late-night work session. Darryl receives texts from Val's jealous boyfriend, Brandon. Erin decides to stay in Florida. She tells Andy she loves him. Andy is confused because he loves his girlfriend, Jessica. A fan-favorite scene involves Dwight's plan. He makes his room hot and farts under the sheets. He does this to attract the supposed bed bugs.
Another memorable moment is when Cathy pretends to be cold. She sits close to Jim on his bed. Jim is clearly uncomfortable. He makes his signature "Jim face" to the camera. The episode ends with Nellie locked out. Dwight ignores her. He eats his bananas foster in his room. He demagnetized her key card.
