Favorite Jim and Pam episode: Asked by wouldbeheavenly.

Jim: Four years ago I was just a guy who had a crush on a girl who had a boyfriend, and I had to do the hardest thing that I’ve ever had to do, which was just to…wait. Don’t get me wrong, I flirted with her. Pam, I can now admit in front of friends and family that I do know how to make a photocopy. Didn’t need your help that many times. And, do you remember how long it took you to teach me to drive stick?
Pam: Like a year.
Jim: I’ve been driving stick since high school. For a really long time that’s all I had. I just had little moments with a girl who saw me as a friend, and a lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl who I worked with, but I think even then I knew that I was waiting for my wife.
