Kevin: "I was on Dallas. Yeah, our plane got stuck and we were on Dallas for hours. Then, we were on Hawaii and I was on heaven."
I really like Andy and Darryl as friends.
Loved Ryan using Phyllis and Oscar on the food jars.
Pam: "Holy s**t is that real?!"
Michael: "They say use three years salary..."
Michael: "No, no I am not going to be proposed to in the break room. That's not going to be our story. I should have burned this place down when I had the chance."
Jim pranking Dwight was great. It was funny watching Dwight manipulate his way into the telescope, only to turn it over for some worthless legumes. Switching out the seeds for the plants there at the end was perfect.
---
Michael: "This is one of my most favorite places in the world."
Holly: "Why?"
Michael: "Because it is where Toby announced he was leaving for Costa Rica. Happiest day of my life."
---
Loved Michael recounting all of his memories with Holly in the office.
Michael: "That guy's got more than he can handle already." (Stanley)
Michael: "Easy no." (Kevin?)
Michael: "That would be a sham marriage." (Oscar)
Michael: "That would be hot. I would pay to see that." (Angela)
Michael: "Only one I was kinda worried about." (Ryan)
Great episode. Loved the proposal, loved the sentimentality of the final scene, and it was great that all of the office got behind and supported Michael. It's been wonderful seeing Michael mature over this season, but still retain his immaturity at times. The sprinklers going off was a nice touch.

And there's our first glimpse of Will Ferrell as well.
(Sorry for posting so much, just a lot going on, and a lot of laughs, in this episode)

So wouldn't Dwight be more likely to plant the seeds at his farm than at the office? Of couse, then Jim wouldn't have been able to plant the the "magic legumes."

Good episode and proposal scene, which they damn-near ruined with the Yoda shit.

Michael: "We're moving to Colorado."
Kevin: "All of us?"

Pam's reaction to the ring was great
Loved Oscar telling Michael what was and wasn't acceptable for the proposal

I liked your post about the episode, but really dude? He was just pointing something out.
Back to the show...I really enjoyed this episode, lots of great moments and the proposal was well done. And on a side note I forgot about the fact that the "office" doesn't know about Michael leaving, so to see their shock was also pretty neat.

What an incredibly sweet episode. It reminds of some of the heart that was lost after Jim and Pam finally got together. This was obviously way more rushed, but the proposal was absolutely fantastic and perfect.

Eh, you're right. The post just seemed like someone who doesn't watch The Office anymore coming in and looking for the littlest thing to criticize, which is why I commented on it.

+1 I have rarely cried during The Office, This was one of those magic moments where all the writing just came together. Having the entire office staff participate in and witness the whole thing was just genius.

The proposal was touching I will admit, but I just hate Holly and the two of them as a couple. Those little voices they do go right into my spine. Is it too much to ask that on Steve Carrell's last episode that we'll get a Henry Blake-esque postscript about their plane going down en route to Colorado?

I'm not dreading it, I'm more worried about Arnett.

I could be wrong, but Ferrell has proven he can do more than his typical shtick on several occasions, so I'll reserve judgment until he actually appears on the show.
This. Unlike Ferrell, Arnett has never done anything to prove he is more than a one-trick pony.

I have to add myself to the camp that doesn't like Michael and Holly together.
Also, we need more Creed. At least give him one line a week. I don't think he spoke in this one.
