What is even happening?
I did the coal walk! Just...I did it. Michael, you couldn't even do that. Maybe I should be your boss.
Wow I feel really good right now.
Why didn't any of you come to my art show? I invited all of you! That really sucked. It's like sometimes some of you act like I don't even exist.
Jim, I called off my wedding because of you. And now we're not even friends. And things are just -- like -- weird between us and that sucks. And I miss you. You were my best friend before you went to Stamford. I really miss you.
I shouldn't have been with Roy. And there were a lot of reasons to call off my wedding, but the truth is I didn't care about any of those reasons until I met you, and now you're with someone else, and that's fine, it's -- whatever -- that's not what I'm -- I'm not...
Okay, my feet really hurt.
The thing that I'm just trying to say to you Jim, and to everyone else in the circle I guess, is that I miss having fun with you. Just you, not everyone in the circle. Okay. I am gonna go walk in the water now. Yeah. It's a good day.

Pam! That was amazing! But I am still looking for someone with a sales background.

Maybe they should try out Pam in a sales position next season. She could scarcely do worse than what they've got.

Theo, Scott and I re-watched last night, and I was thinking the same thing. I'd like to see Pam move up in the company. Plus, it would add an interesting dynamic to the ongoing Jim-Pam saga if they were, professionally, on a more even footing.

I know I'm late to the party, but OMG Pam Beesly!!! Is awesome. That was a beautiful scene. Cannot wait until next week.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Pam just rocked in this episode, rocked so much. From wearing her hair differently to being super-snarky to WALKING THROUGH FIRE and then finally, FINALLY speaking her mind--this is pretty much the episode I have waited all season for.
Me, this is. I cried mid Pam's speech. Roughly, when she got to the art show bit, and looked at Jim. Brilliantly constructed moment of TV as it's literally taken all season as a build up.
I know when a TV show rocks when it makes me cry, because that's rare, and it's especially good when there's no soppy music and you just know that's not the intention. I felt every bit of what Pam was saying. Seriously: this show is The Awesome.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
I must have no heart. During Pam's speech I was 15% 'I'm glad Pam is making these thing known', 60% 'Pam, in saying these things in front of her co-workers, is being awfully inconsiderate to Jim and Karen' and 25% 'I wish the writing here was a little less direct'. Which isn't to say I thought it was badly-written, it wasn't, but that is wasn't as textured as I would've hoped such an important dramatic moment would be.

Man, I thought it was the best setup I could think of -- she's been quietly sitting in the background for months barely making her feelings known, then she walks through fire and tells them all what she thinks.
I want to know Jim's reaction. He best not be a dick about things. And, yeah, I felt pretty bad for Karen.
If either Jim or Pam run off to corporate I will... Y'argh. I've no idea how they can spin this off for another season.
