Watch for — every moment, theme by theme
Sex & hookups 2 moments
How Sex & hookups shows up in The Office S4 E8:
- Lester
I had sex with my boss.
- Michael
Alright, alright. This is the way I see it. Yes, I had sex with Jan, and yes, I did consider Jan to be my girlfriend. However, Jan clearly didn't consider me to be her boyfriend. So her actions are completely rightful.
Nudity & bodies 3 moments
How Nudity & bodies shows up in The Office S4 E8:
- Michael
So, here's the deal. Um, I am on my way to New York to be deposed as part of Jan's wrongful termination law suit. The company fired her for having the courage to augment her boobs.
- Lester
You don't need to go any further. Her breasts.
- Lester
She thought it had something to do with her recent breast enhancement surgery?
Affairs / cheating 1 moment
How Affairs / cheating shows up in The Office S4 E8:
- Lester
Aren't we trying to determine whether Michael or Jan were engaged in a romantic affair? Not Michael and this Ryan person.
Fat-shaming 1 moment
How Fat-shaming shows up in The Office S4 E8:
- Kelly
Trash talk is hypothetical, like: Your mom is so fat she can eat the internet.
