The last episode of season three has my favourite conversation between the two...
Dwight Schrute: I'm going to be your new boss! [chuckles] Dwight Schrute: It is my greatest dream come true. Welcome to the Hotel Hell. Check-in time is now, check-out time is never. Jim Halpert: Does my room have cable? Dwight Schrute: No. And the sheets are made of fire. Jim Halpert: Can I change rooms? Dwight Schrute: Sorry, we're all booked up. Hell convention in town. Jim Halpert: Can I have a late checkout? Dwight Schrute: I'll have to talk to the manager. Jim Halpert: You're not the manager? Even in your own fantasy? Dwight Schrute: I'm the owner. The co-owner. With Satan! Jim Halpert: Okay. Just so I understand it: in your wildest fantasy, you are in Hell, and you are co-running a bed-and-breakfast with the Devil. Dwight Schrute: Yeah, but I haven't told you my salary yet. Jim Halpert: Go. Dwight Schrute: Eighty *thousand* dollars a year.
I find the old Office movie to be much better. The series is too far fetched for me to relate to but if you've ever worked in an office for an extended period of time... oh man that movie is gold!
Do you mean Office Space? That is a hiiilarious movie! "Ass clown" is one of the best phrases I've borrowed from that. :wink:
I've seen the UK version of The Office before the US one, and while I found a lot of it funny, parts were painful to watch (I'm thinking of a scene where the boss plays the guitar and sings for about 15 minutes!). I like British comedy (even recent stuff! The I.T. Crowd is among the funniest shows ever), but the US Office is more relevant to me because it's closer to home.

Definitely one of my all-time favourites. Freaking hilarious!
