The Office

Like I've said before, I love The Office. There's one scene in particular that's my favorite and it sums up the sweetness and the characters' balance that's just brilliant and touching. If you're a fan you'll appreciate it more, but give it a chance either way...

Pam, the receptionist loves to sketch and has always wanted to go to an art school. She finally gets the courage to take a class and prepares for her first art show. She invites the whole office and that night, she waits anxiously by her wall of work - sketches, watercolors, still life images... Roy, her fiancee, appears with his brother but of the office employees only Oscar appears.
Oscar's partner is dismissive of Pam's paintings, and Pam overhears him call her work "motel art" before Oscar claims that honesty and courage 'aren't her strong points'. At the end of the night, Pam looks defeated and begins to take down one of her pieces.

Then, Michael (Steve Carell) rushes in, worried he's late...

Michael: (stepping back to look at Pam's work)
"You did these free hand?
My god these could be tracings!
Oh, look at this one (pointing to a watercolor of their office building)...
Wow.
You nailed it!
...How much?"

Pam: "What do you mean?"

Michael: "I don't see a price"

Pam: "Um... you wanna buy it?"

Michael: "Well yeah, yeah we have to have it for the office.
(Pointing) I mean there's my window and there's my car.
Is that your car?"

Pam: (smiling) "Yeah"

Michael: "(sigh) That is our building...

And we sell paper.

I am really proud of you."

Pam: " Thank you"
