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. Uh, don't get me wrong. I flirted with her. Pam, I can now admit in front of my friends and family that I do know how to make a photo copy. Didn't need your help that many times. And do you remember how long it took you to teach me how to drive a stick? PAM: Like... a year. JIM: I've been driving stick since high school. So... yes. For a really long time that's all I had. I just had little moments with a girl who saw me as 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.

PAM: Hey! This is not half-way! I did the math. I had to drive way longer than you. Montclair would have been closer, so you have to buy lunch.....What are you doing? JIM: I just... couldn't wait. PAM: Oh my God! JIM: Pam, will you marry me? PAM: Oh my God! JIM: So? PAM: Yes!
--------------
JIM: I'm in love with you. PAM: What? JIM: I'm really sorry if that's weird for you to hear, but I needed you to hear it. Probably not good timing, I know that. I just... PAM: What are you doing? What do you expect me to say to that? JIM: I just needed you to know. Once. PAM: Well, I um... I... I can't. JIM: Yeah. PAM: You have no idea... JIM: Don't do that. PAM: ...what your friendship means to me. JIM: Come on. I don't wanna do that. I wanna be more than that. PAM: I can't. I'm really sorry if you misinterpreted things. It's probably my fault. JIM: Not your fault. I'm sorry I misinterpreted our friendship.
----------------
PAM: We just, we never got the timing right. You know? I shot him down, and then he did the same to me, and... But you know what? It's OK. I'm totally fine. Everything is gonna be totally--- JIM: Pam. Um, are you free for dinner tonight? PAM: Yes. JIM: All right. Then... it's a date. PAM: [to camera] I'm sorry, what was the question?

JIM: I bought those boat tickets the day I saw that You Tube video. I knew we'd need a back-up plan. The boat was actually Plan C. The church was Plan B and Plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago. Pretty much
