- Dwight
Packer, you will be the sexual predator who has come to prey on the trendy teenage girls who are obsessed with the Pyramid.

Schrute’s out to get me. But I’m playing the long game. As soon as he messes up, I swoop in like a sexual predator.
Violence & injury 10 moments
How Violence & injury shows up in The Office S8 E17:
- Toby
Now, if your attacker is willing to defile a corpse, you better stop playing dead right away and just make it known that you’re alive.
- Nellie
I was born in the little working class town of Basildon, and until the age of 32, [cockney accent] I talked like this, which was bloody horrendous, innit?
- Nellie
Yeah, thank you. Loam. Bloody loam, I came from. I hit rock bottom when I auditioned for the Spice Girls. I didn’t even get a callback.
- Darryl
Andy, who punched you?
- Andy
Punches were going, and I ducked a few, landed a couple, and I was fighting them off. It was totally, like, like, senseless crime.
- Jim
[on phone] Yeah, no, it seems to be going great. Andy got beat up by a fifth grade girl?
- Andy
So in that scenario, what if the victim sucker-punches the attacker in the face? What can the attacker then do to better protect himself?
- Kevin
Poor Andy! First you got beat up by a gang, and now she kicks your ass?
- Toby
There’s no shame in getting beaten up by a girl. My ex-wife used to demolish me.
- Dwight
Dwight: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Yeah! Nellie: [squealing] Dwight: Okay! Come on! Nellie: aagh! Dwight: Hah! Yah! [kicking and punching the air] Boom!

You are gonna bloody ruin it. You’re gonna bloody ruin it because you’re a no-good half-assed cock-eyed...
- Dwight
[laughs] You know what I mean? One of these buttons is -- damn it. Take over.
- Meredith
What the hell, Toby?
- Ryan
I- I know you’re my boss, but seriously, you need to get the hell out of my face.
