‘The Office’ Quote That Lives in Rainn Wilson and Ed Helms’ Heads Rent-Free
The hit sitcom had quite many cringey jokes to remember it by, but it wasn’t Steve Carrell’s Michael Scott who delivered the line many fans can shed a tear over.
NBC’ The Office was one of many sitcoms that signalled the golden time of modern television, and it seems like the show’s cast and crew is still reminiscing about their best years.
Launched back in 2005, The Office went through quite a lot, including Steve Carrell’s departure after season 7, but still survived and was lucky to never receive a cold treatment like Game of Thrones did.
However, the show’s best jokes weren’t even close to what another line made at least two cast members feel, with both admitting that they can actually relate to what their characters were going through.
Rainn Wilson and Ed Helms Agree on ‘The Office’ Most Striking and Wisest Line Ever
Dwight Schrute’s actor doesn’t shy away from getting himself a portion of nostalgia every so often, inviting his former co-stars to join his podcast “Soul Boom” and reveal something new about how The Office eventually came together.
This time it was the turn for Ed Helmes, who portrayed Andy Bernard starting from the third season, as he felt like even his character’s sort of rivalry with Dwight couldn’t take away the feeling of actually belonging to this group of people.
Both Wilson and Helms then agreed that only one line was stuck with them all these years after The Office wrapped.
In one of the show’s final scenes where Helmes’ Andy says “I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them”.
“I really wish I had just spent more time just being like, 'This is it. It just doesn't get better than this”, Wilson said, adding that he and his co-stars would often catch themselves thinking about another potentially successful project without enjoying filming this one to the fullest.
Only One Recurring Character Will Return in ‘The Office’ Upcoming Spinoff (So Far)
Even though it might be over for most of the Dunder Mifflin workers, the show’s spinoff titled The Paper is bringing back at least one of the original beloved characters.
It was reported back in February that Oscar Nuñez is now set to reprise his role as Oscar Martinez in the upcoming TV series, though he won’t be a central character this time.
So far, the actor is the only original cast member who is moving to Ohio to try and save a local newspaper from a total collapse, but The Paper might be bringing in more surprises ahead of its premiere on September 4.
