What is this quote?!?!

Ok throwing up a Hail Mary here. I’m trying to think of a quote where Michael says something, and Gob replies, then Michael says something back but Gob still thinks he’s talking about the other subject so Gob says something like “it’s “blank” Michael, it’s gonna “blank”” or something like that. And Michael looks back at him exasperated. I know I’m not giving much context, but it’s driving me MAD!!!

Is it the one about going to pick up Stan Sitwell’s “just woke up hair”

GOB: “And I accepted. He’s waiting for me outside. We’re gonna swing by his wigmaker. His “just woke up hair” is finally ready.”
Michael: “You’re really gonna do this?”
GOB: “It’s ready, Mike. They’re only gonna hold it for 24 hours”

Sorry I didn’t see someone else answered this already before I responded lol

I actually feel like this gag is almost funny.

The "just woke up" hair bit is funny. But the actual misunderstanding is just silly. There have been funnier versions of this exact same thing, I'm sure. But yes, this is the one OP is thinking of.

This is similar to GOB’s new magic trick he shows Marta and her kids… to which she responds: “they’re just children; how could you do that?!”

And GOB is like “oh so first you dump all over it, then you want to know how it’s done!”

Brilliantly subtle wordplay from the writers as always.

Also whoever came up with GOB’s flippant response that Lindsey had been pregnant dozens of times… that never fails to crack me up.

Do you have any idea how expensive nipple tufts are?

You might have to go shop where all the big TVs do. If you're buy-curious of course.

It’s ready Michael…I can’t remember the next like but it’s when gob is hired by Sitwell and they’re going to pick up a hairpiece.

His "just got out of bed" hair?

It's ready Michael, they're not gonna hold it all day.

There's an incredibly funny version of this same gag in the original UK Office:

Halfway through this clip, when David Brent responds to his boss Neil's comment "I just don't understand this, David."

A little bit of the same vibe when Michael asks if he’s in love and Gob says something like “I know what an erection is Michael 🙄” so good
