The Quiz is the third episode of the first series of The Office.

Plot

Ricky: You really are a couple of sad little men, aren't you?
Gareth: Oh yeah, they're sad little men. He’s thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?

David Brent: There are limits to my comedy. There are things that I'll never laugh at. The handicapped. Because there's nothing funny about them. Or any deformity. It's like when you see someone look at a little handicapped and go "Ooh, look at him, he's not able-bodied. I am, I'm prejudiced." Yeah, well, at least the little handicapped fella is able-minded. Unless he's not, it's difficult to tell with the wheelchair ones. Just give generously to them all.

David Brent: No, everyone does not get one point. 'Carpet munchers' don't get a point, 'Dr Wankenstein' doesn't get a point, 'Stephen Hawkin's football boots' don't get a point.
