[In the conference room, the office workers are discussing the correct use of 'whoever' vs. 'whomever']
Kevin Malone : I know what's right, but I'm not gonna say because you're all jerks who didn't come see my band last night.
Ryan Howard : Do you really know which one is correct?
Kevin Malone : I don't know.
Pam Beesly : It's 'whom' when it's the object of the sentence and 'who' when it's the subject.
Phyllis Lapin : That sounds right.
Michael Scott : Well, it sounds right, but is it?
Stanley : How did Ryan use it, as an object?
Ryan Howard : As an object.
Kelly Kapoor : Ryan used *me* as an object.
Stanley : Is he right about that...?
Pam Beesly : How did he use it again?
Toby Flenderson : It was... Ryan wanted Michael, the subject, to explain the computer system, the object...
Michael Scott : Thank you!
Toby Flenderson : ...to whomever, meaning us, the indirect object... which is the correct usage of the word.
Michael Scott : No one asked you anything ever, so whomever's name is Toby, why don't you take a letter opener and stick it into your skull.
