New Girl is the fifth episode of the first series of The Office.

Plot

David Brent decides to hire a secretary, because "he needs one". He hires an attractive woman, and ends up headbutting her. Tim Canterbury has resolved to quit his job, determined to go back to university and make something of his life. To change his mind, Brent has convinced him to go out on the town with him, Gareth and Finchy. The nightclub they select is Chasers. The evening cannot be described in any way as fun.

Quotes

Tim: There was, oh my God, a themed nightclub called Henry the Eights. This was incredible. It had the Anne Bol-inn Alley, this is true, as you went into the loo, there was a sign that said "Mind your head", nice, and underneath someone had written "And don’t get your Hampton Court." It’s not there any more. But not a day goes by that I don’t think about it.

Gareth: If you’re so clever, what am I thinking now?
Tim: You’re thinking "how can I kill a tiger armed only with a biro?"
Gareth: No.
Tim: You’re thinking "if I crash land in a jungle will I be able to eat my own shoes?"
Gareth: No. And you can’t.
Tim: What are you thinking, Gareth?
Gareth: I was just wondering whether will there ever be a boy born who can swim faster than a shark.

David: Me, lager. Finchy, lager. Gareth, lager sometimes cider, so different drinks for different...needs.

Gareth: Condom’s come in all different flavours nowadays. There’s strawberry and curry and that. Do you like curry?
