Script of "The Office" (TV)

MALE OFFICE WORKER: I got this telephone, not bad. I got a fancy calculator. I got this keyboard; the H sticks. But still, you know how much this stuff would cost if you had to buy it?

Hey, Cheryl. Where do we keep the coffee maker, again?

FEMALE OFFICE WORKER: What are you doing, Roger?

MALE OFFICE WORKER: Taking stuff home.

FEMALE OFFICE WORKER: From the office?

MALE OFFICE WORKER: What's with the sudden tone of moral superiority, Cheryl?

FEMALE OFFICE WORKER: You're never gonna get away with this.

MALE OFFICE WORKER: Nobody cares; you can get away with pretty much anything nowadays.

FEMALE OFFICE WORKER: And you're saying that based on what, Roger?

MALE OFFICE WORKER: Well, Richard Pombo. Our Congressman, Richard Pombo? He used tax dollars to pay for private family vacation to our national parks.

FEMALE OFFICE WORKER: Huh?

MALE OFFICE WORKER: Then he wanted to sell 15 of those parks to developers who supported him. Plus, he used taxpayer dollars to rent a luxury Lincoln and to pay his government staff while they worked on political campaigns.

The boss can't possibly hold me to a higher moral standard than our Congressman.

FEMALE OFFICE WORKER: The coffee maker's in the third cabinet on the left and I'm going to get my own box.

MALE OFFICE WORKER: I say: if it's good enough for Congressman Pombo, it's good enough for me. I call it "pulling a Pombo."
