Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica. Famous words from the volunteer sheriff’s deputy and only character on NBC’s the office that appeared with lines in every single episode of the show’s series. With his ridiculous mixture of logic and principles, fans remember Dwight K. Schrute as the assistant to the regional manager/ Beet farmer, lover of martial arts, cousin of Mose, and paper salesman with a personal vendetta against America’s sweetheart, Jim Halpert.
Dwight’s comments provided office fans with an endless slew of quotes about reabsorbing his twin in the womb and possessing the strength of both a man and a small baby, or being shunned by his family until his sixth birthday for forgetting to save the oil from a can of tuna.
His personal philosophies are sprinkled into nearly every episode with and proclaimed with perfect cadence and intensity. According to Schrute, “showing one's teeth is a submission signal in primates, and that whenever someone smiles at him, "all [he] sees is a chimpanzee, begging for it's life.”
His logic is off, but his delivery is certain, especially when he’s taking on such issues as menstruation cycles: “I wish I could menstruate. If I could menstruate, I wouldn’t have to deal with those idiotic calendars anymore. I’d just be able to count down from my previous cycle. Plus I’d be more in tune with the moon and the tides.”
Jim and Pam (Jam) may provide the love story for the show, but Dwight
Determined Worker Worker Intense Hard Worker Terrific.
Is the face and the voice that office fans can count on each and every episode..
