The Office: Gay Witch Hunt

« prev episode next » episode

Although Oscar's homosexuality is revealed in this episode, in the second season he says that he would "do" Pam in "The Fire" and mentions having a girlfriend in "The Client". edit »
Jim's new co-worker calls him "Big Tuna," a reference to the tuna sandwich he ate on his first day of work. In season two, it became clear that Jim had eaten a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch every day for the past five years, but with his transition to Stamford and life without Pam, it looks like he's trying new things. edit »

Karen: Jim's nice enough. I don't... I don't know how well he's fitting in here. He's always looking at the camera like this. (imitates "Jim" face) What is that? edit »
Jim: I ate a tuna sandwich on my first day, so Andy started calling me "big tuna" (stares at the camera for a bit)... I don't think any of them actually know my real name. edit »
Andy: I went to Cornell. Ever heard of it? edit »
Oscar: I don't want to touch you! Ever consider that? You're ignorant. And insulting. And small! edit »
Creed: I'm not offended by homosexuality. In the sixties, I made love to many, many women. Often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in. Would be no way of knowing. edit »
Oscar: I was going to quit, but Jan offered me a three-month paid vacation and a company car. All I had to do was sign something saying I won't sue. Gil and I are going to Europe. Kids, sometimes it pays to be gay. edit »
Michael: (to Oscar) Maybe we could go out for a beer sometime and you could tell me . . . how you do that to another dude. edit »
Michael: Who's going to be the judges and juries of society?
Angela: Judges and juries! edit »
Toby: Oscar�s really gay.
Michael: Exactly.
Toby: I mean for real.
Michael: Ya, I know.
Toby: No, he�s attracted to other men.
Michael: Ok, little too far, crossed the line.
Toby: Ok, I am telling you Oscar is an actual homosexual. edit »
Dwight: Michael appears to be gay too. And yet he is my friend. I guess I do have a gay friend. edit »
Michael: The only signal I'm sending is Gay Good. edit »
Michael: Did you know that gay used to mean happy? When I was growing up it meant lame. And now it means a man who makes love to other men. edit »
Michael: All right, everyone in the conference room. I don't care if you are gay or straight or a lesbian or overweight! Just get in here. Right now! edit »
Ryan: Yeah, I'm not a temp anymore. I got Jim's old job. Which means at my ten year high school reunion, it will not say "Ryan Howard is a temp." It will say "Ryan Howard is an junior sales associate at a mid-range paper supply firm." That will show 'em. edit »
Michael: Gay pride, right? Gay Pride Parade? It's not like...Gay Shame Festival. edit »
Jan: You know, it's amazing to me that in this day in age you could be so obtuse about sexual orientation.
Michael: I watch The L Word. Ok? I watch Queer as F—(beep).
Jan: That's not what it's called. edit »
Kelly: It is so cool that you're gay. I totally underestimated you. edit »
Stanley: I got them a toaster. They called off the wedding and gave the toaster back to me. I tried to return the toaster to the store and they said they no longer sold that kind of toaster. So now my house has got two toasters. edit »
Jim: I can't say whether Dunder-Mifflin paper is less flammable, sir. But I can assure you that it is certainly not more flammable. edit »
Michael: I would have never called him that if I knew. You don't call retarded people "retards." It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they're acting retarded. And I consider Oscar a friend. edit »
Michael: I'm glad that today spurred social change. That's part of my job as regional manager, but you know what even if it didn't, at least we put this matter to bed. That's what she said...or he said. edit »
Michael: What is love, anyway? Maybe it's supposed to break all the rules? Like me and Jan or Oscar and some guy. Life is short. When two people find each other, what should stand in their way? edit »
Oscar: No, I'm not gay. And I don't understand why anyone would think that I'm gay if (sighs) Uh....Yeah I'm gay. edit »
Michael: There's Gil, Oscar's roommate... wonder if he knows. edit »
Angela: Sure, sometimes I watch Will & Grace... when I want to throw up. edit »
Michael: I call everyone faggy! Why would anyone find that offensive? edit »
