Jim Halpert: Hey Andy, by any chance did you see Battlestar Galactica last night?
Andy Bernard: No, I didn't. Is it any good?
Jim Halpert: Actually not. It was really so-so.
Dwight Schrute: Okay...
[Jim threatens with the stopwatch]
Jim Halpert: I mean like all the crazy monsters and stuff, you know like Klingons and Wookiees and all of that...
[Dwight turns to respond, but Jim shows the stopwatch again]
Jim Halpert: I'm sorry, Dwight, did you want to say something?
Andy Bernard: Was that anything like the original Battlestar Galactica?
Jim Halpert: You know it's weird, it's practically a shot-for-shot remake.
