The Office Famous Quotes (fill-mask)
42 well-known quotes from the US TV show The Office, each paired with one
show-specific word to mask. Built to probe whether a masked language model
(FacebookAI/roberta-base) has memorized the show's famous lines.

How it was built
- Candidate quotes and answer words were generated by an LLM, aiming for words a non-viewer could not guess from grammar alone (names, places, catchphrase keywords).
- Each quote was kept only if it appears in the fan transcripts of
jxm/the_office_lines(case- and punctuation-insensitive match). - Each answer was kept only if it is a single
roberta-basetoken (with its leading space), so a single<mask>can predict it.
73 candidates → 42 kept (7 not found in transcripts, 24 multi-token answers).
Limitations
- Small: each quote is ~2.4% of accuracy.
- The single-token filter removed many of the show's most iconic words
(e.g. "BANKRUPTCY", "Beets", "Tuna"), which
roberta-basesplits into several tokens. - A few answers are guessable from ordinary English ("That's what she said", "make love third", "Black bear", "regional manager").
- Quotes come from fan transcripts, which may differ slightly from the aired dialogue.
