In honor of her special day, here are just a few of the best quotes from Pam/Jenna from the long-running comedy show.

Jenna Fischer Best Quotes from The Office

Season 2, Episode 1

This isn’t just one of Jenna’s best lines on The Office — it’s easily one of the best quotes from the show period. She utters it while drunk at the annual Dundies award show at Scranton’s local Chili’s restaurant. Iconic.

Season 3, Episode 25

Without context, this isn’t a very exciting quote. Pam says it after Jim Halpert surprises her by asking her out to dinner during one of the show’s confessionals. It’s considered one of the most momentous scenes from the series.

Season 4, Episodes 1 and 2

When Michael Scott finds out Meredith Palmer has rabies, he tries to make up for hitting her with his car by organizing a fun run to “cure” the disease. That left poor receptionist Pam to say this ridiculous line to whoever called the office that day.

Season 4, Episodes 5 and 6

The full quote is actually, “Dwight mercy-killed Angela’s cat. It’s very complicated. It’s caused a lot of unpleasantness between Dwight and Angela, who are both already prone to unpleasantness.” This is one great example of Pam getting a little bit sassy on the show for once.

Season 4, Episode 13

Pam says this to the camera during the painfully awkward dinner party she and Jim are invited to at Michael’s house, hosted by her boss and his girlfriend, Jan Levinson. And really … she has a good point.

Season 4, Episode 17

Pam says this after Michael gets mad at her for only bringing one sheet of white paper to the job fair where they’re representing Dunder Mifflin. One line alone doesn’t do it justice — it’s Pam’s entire portrayal of their earlier conversation that really makes the scene.

Season 5, Episode 10

When the office has a budget surplus, everyone fights over whether it should be spent on new chairs or a new photocopier. Pam is firmly team chair.

Season 5, Episode 15

One of the long-running themes on The Office was the relationship between Jim and Pam, who eventually (spoiler alert!) get married and have kids. This line is one of the many Pam says that fans of the ship sighed dreamily over.

Season 5, Episode 16

Who doesn’t want people to like them? Most people certainly don’t want people to hate them, but Pam’s wishes to be a people-pleaser may have gone a little too far with this great quote.

Season 5, Episode 18

Jenna’s character has this revelation in the fifth season of the sitcom when someone from a phone system company comes by and tries to get a hold of Michael. She hilariously pretends he’s not there, in an attempt to protect her job. Can you really blame her?
