This is an extract from a script for the American version of The Office, first broadcast in 2008. There's a weight loss competition between the branches and they're trying to keep their starting weights high so they can lose more. They're all on the bathroom scales together.

Michael: OK everybody. Get used to this because we are going to be standing here briefly every Monday for the next seven Mondays.
Dwight: Wait a minute. One more bite of eclair each. Hold it in your mouth if you can't swallow.
Jim: [smiles, looks to Michael] Really, nothing?
Darryl: 2336 pounds. Y'all need to learn some portion control.

Your link goes to the right page but the number in your post is wrong.

At the 2010 census, the village of Thornton, Illinois had a population of 2338. Thornton is home to one of the largest quarries in the world.
