Hey. Ready? Come on, show me excited! Michael michael
Yes. [small fist-pumps from both Pam and Oscar.] Oscar oscar
Yeah, I'm pretty excited too. Michael michael
Today I'm heading over to the job fair at Valley View High School, to find some new interns. Want to get some fresh blood. Um, euthanize this place. Michael michael
Hey, are we doing this thing? Darryl darryl
Yup. Michael michael
Oh my God, Darryl, you look like Barack Obama. Everybody I'm dating Barack Obama! Kelly kelly
Why are you dressed like that? Michael michael
[in a dress shirt and tie] Like what? Darryl darryl
Like you're applying for a loan. Michael michael
Maybe he's going to church. Or court. Dwight dwight
Figured I look presentable. [looks Michael over] You? [Michael dressed casually in jeans and sneakers] Went a different way. Darryl darryl
[to Darryl] I think you look nice. Pam pam
[simultaneously] Thank you. {Michael} and {Darryl} michael darryl
Okay, here's what we're going to do: Michael michael
Today, I am meeting a potential client on the golf course, because Ryan put me on probation. You remember Ryan, he was the temp here. Yeah. And uh, it is not a good time for me to lose my job. Since I have some pretty big long term plans in my personal life with Pam, that I'd like her parents to be psyched about. So I am about to do something very bold at this job that I've never done before. Try. Jim jim
[takes golf swing] Whoa! Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Mr. Maguire, it's been a couple of years. Jim jim
Hey Jim, how are you, nice to see you man. Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Oh no! No, no-no-no-no! My grandfather would be spinning in his urn, if he knew that I was out here with a Dartmouth boy. You take that shirt off right now or I will take it off for you, sir. I am... totally and completely kidding! [they both laugh] Andrew Bernard, Cornell '95. Andy andy
Phil Maguire, Dartmouth, '74 [goes to shake Andy's hand] Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Oop, got some blisties. Andy andy
Yeah, you do. Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Hit about 1200 balls last night, in preparation for today, so hands are a little tender. [shows blisters on both hands] It's actually not funny at all. It's incredibly painful. Andy andy
Let's make it interesting, say, uh, ten bucks a hole? Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Great! Jim jim
What are we talking? Skins? Acey Duecy? Bingo bango bongo? Sandies, Barkies? Arnies, Wolf? What? Kevin kevin
I'm gonna take this petty cash I got from Oscar, and turn it into next month's rent. Kevin kevin
So many memories in this old gym. Pretending I have PMS so I didn't have to play volleyball, pretending I have PMS so I didn't have to play basketball. Those were the days! Pam pam
[Darryl approaches as students throw basketballs] A little over the top, don't you think? Michael michael
Show them what you brought, Mike. Darryl darryl
[holds up single sheet of paper] Um, that's all we brought. Pam pam
This is all we need. Michael michael
We'll see. Oscar oscar
Yes we will see Oscar, we will see, because a blank sheet of paper equals endless possibilities! Conceptual! All right! We. Are. Open for business! [all four of them sit in an empty booth with small Dunder Mifflin sign] Hello! Michael michael
Andy, you're up, let's go! Kevin kevin
[gushing lotion inside his golf gloves] Giddy up, let's do this. Andy andy
People assume I'm great at golf. But like everybody, I hated golf lessons when I was a kid. So, I used to hang out at the sailing club instead. Got my "knot" on. Andy andy
[swings] Dammit! Andy andy
Guys, do we have to stay all day? Meredith meredith
I mean, Michael's gone, can't we just go? Phyllis phyllis
Yeah, and I finished my work months ago! Creed creed
Excuse me, people. It has come to my attention, some of you have forgotten, who is in charge here. When Michael is gone... Jim is in charge. When Jim is gone, Andy and I are in charge. When Andy is gone you answer to me. Okay? [Stanley gets up to go] Excuse me where do you think you're going? Oh no, no, no. You're not leaving. No! Stanley, do not walk out that door! If you walk out that door, so help me, I will - [Stanley leaves] He left. Last time I checked, the American workday ends at five pm. You will all stay at your desks until that time. Or, you will suffer the consequences. Dwight dwight
What consequences? Phyllis phyllis
I will tell on you. Dwight dwight
There's some filing, restocking the supply shelves. Replacing the water jug, which nobody likes to do. Um, we... uh, eat a lot of cake! Pam pam
Cool. Justin justin
[laughs] Yeah, and uh, you basically learn how an office runs. Pam pam
Hello. Hi. [to Pam] Can I talk to you for a sec? Excuse me. Michael michael
This is Michael, my boss. [she points] Justin. Pam pam
Hey, uh, remember what we talked about, in the car on the way up, "only the best and the brightest." Michael michael
He's nice and he seems interested. Pam pam
He's totally wrong, Pam. [to Justin] Hey. Michael michael
Hi. Justin justin
How you doing? Listen, I don't think that a handsome, funny, smart, funny-looking kid like you, should limit himself. You could do whatever you want to do. You could be a classy janitor, or a cashier with dignity, or a... migraine worker. [takes back the info flyer Justin holds] Maybe for you, paper should be more of a hobby. Michael michael
Sorry for wasting your time. Justin justin
Oh, no problem. [looks down] And he signed! He put his name on the piece of - okay, that was supposed to be a blank canvas on which to put their hopes and dreams. And he just, made it into a stupid piece of paper. We need another one, immediately. Michael michael
Yeah, the booth is lame without it. Darryl darryl
I only brought the one. Pam pam
Are you mental? Michael michael
Michael, do you remember, you specifically told me to only bring one sheet of paper? You said it only takes one sheet to make a difference. And I said, "Are you sure Michael?" And you said "Pam! Pam! Pam!" And then you sneezed in my tea, and then you said, "Don't worry, it's just allergies." Do you remember that? Pam pam
I... don't. Michael michael
Okay. I'll go look for another one. [she leaves] Pam pam
And that. Is why. I need a smart intern. Michael michael
Hey, so how's the direct mail business going? Jim jim
I can't complain, people love their junk mail. Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Now are you getting all your paper from PPC? Or- Jim jim
You know what Jim? I'm not really looking to change things up right now, I just came out here to get out of the office for a little bit, so why don't we just play, okay? Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Absolutely, will do. Jim jim
So I guess I'll just... work on my short game. Jim jim
[teen approaches table] Hello there. Michael michael
What is this company? Kid kid
Well it's funny that you should ask, because it's really more than a company... Michael michael
Dunder Mifflin paper. Oscar oscar
Thanks. [walks away] Kid kid
Dammit, Oscar! Michael michael
Yeah, I'm trying to lure these kids into my booth, but uh, kids are very wary about being "lured" these days. Thank you Dateline! Michael michael
Thank you. [hangs up phone, leaves for restroom] Dwight dwight
Extension 128. Angela angela
[over phone] Hiya Pumpkin, it's Creed. Creed creed
Say, we're gonna ditch this bitch. You in? Creed creed
No. Angela angela
Are you out? [Angela hangs up] Pumpkin's out, let's go gang! [they all make a run for the door, Dwight re-enters room with only Angela left] Creed creed
My old art room. [finds a sheet of blank paper] Oh, maybe it's still here! [looks for her painting] No. No they must have taken it down. Never mind. Pam pam
[answers cell] What do you want? Michael michael
Michael, I know you're swamped. I just thought you should know that everyone in the office has left, except for Angela and I. Do not worry though, I have taken down their names, and I have docked them a personal day. Dwight dwight
Who cares? I'm not there, Jim's not there, why should they have to be there? Michael michael
So... what else is up? [Michael hangs up] Mich- Dwight dwight
Thank you! [Pam hands him blank paper] What, what is this? Michael michael
A piece of paper. Pam pam
This isn't Dunder Mifflin paper. Some sort of Pendleton crap. Michael michael
Well I think they'll get the spirit of it. Pam pam
Pam-Pam-Pam-Pam-PamPamPamPam! We're dying here. I want you to go back to the office and I want you to get the real stuff. I want you to get ultra white card stock. Michael michael
Are you serious? Pam pam
Yes. And don't call me Shirley. Michael michael
Okay. Pam pam
Oh! [Phil is stuck in the sand trap] Ah, dammit! Phil Maguire phil-maguire
You know, you can just pick it up, take the triple bogey. Jim jim
Yeah I'll- I'll get it out. Thank you. Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Yep. [Maguire keeps swinging] Jim jim
[silently working] [Pam walks back into office, gets paper out of the copier, shows it "voila" to camera, leaves] {Angela} and {Dwight} angela dwight
[Jim's cellphone rings] AH! Come on, Tuna! Andy andy
Hey, can't really talk now, what's up? Jim jim
Just checking in, how's it going? Pam pam
Uh, you know, we'll see, we'll see. Jim jim
I just drove twenty miles round-trip back to the office to get Michael a single sheet of white paper. So, I could have just had them fax it to me, I guess. Pam pam
Oh, I like you. Jim jim
Talk to you later? Pam pam
Yeah. All right. Bye. [Kevin sinks putt] All right. Sorry, I got to annoy you one more time. What if I bring down shipping costs? Jim jim
You can try. But I've looked at your prices. Even with free shipping? Doesn't work. It's just- it's not in the stars, Jim. [Phil sinks putt] Six. Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Yeah. Kevin kevin
All right, race to the next hole! [he runs off to the cart] Andy andy
Ooh! Winner gets ten bucks! Wait -wait for me! Andy! Kevin kevin
Shortcut! Shortcut! [drives cart off course, it flips over] Woah! I fell in the sandtrap! Andy andy
[hums at copier, Angela waiting behind him] Dwight dwight
All of these jobs? Suck. I would rather live jobless, on a beach somewhere, off the money from a large inheritance, than to have to work in any one of these crap-holes. They suck. Michael michael
Hey! [walks up to Oscar and Darryl tossing basketballs, grabs Oscar's ball] Game over. [kicks the ball up to the gymnasium ceiling] Michael michael
[singsong] Just-in time. Michael michael
Hi. Justin justin
Just-in case. What's your last name? Michael michael
Polznik. Justin justin
This... just in. Justin Polznik! Huh? Michael michael
Justin is the ugly girl in the movie, who takes off her glasses and she's hot! And you realize she was always hot, she was just wearing glasses. And that you were the blind one. He's the most... important thing in my life right now. Michael michael
I want you to meet my family. Come on. Oscar Martinez. Accountant extraordinaire. This is Justin. Michael michael
Hey. Oscar oscar
Hi. Justin justin
This is Darryl Philbin. Isn't he big? And you already met her, Pam Beesly, office hottie. She will "do" you. [laughs] No, no. But she has already dated two guys in the office, that we know of, so, this could be number three, you never know? Michael michael
Excuse me. Pam pam
Come here. I would never say this to her face, but she is a wonderful person and a gifted artist. Michael michael
Why, why wouldn't you say that to her face? Oscar oscar
So, what do you think? Think these guys are nice? The guys I didn't bring are even better. Justin, I'm willing to commit right now. Would you do me the honor, of spending the summer with us, at Dunder Mifflin? I think, I think you are very special. Michael michael
You didn't want me before. That's what you said. Justin justin
No, I didn't. You misconstrued me. Michael michael
You were kind of a jerk to me. Justin justin
I, uh, hmm. Michael michael
And I'm, I'm gonna go now. Justin justin
Why don't... hey. Michael michael
[trying to pick up a beer bottle with blistered hands, struggles trying to take a drink as everyone watches.] Andy andy
[tries to stop a sneeze] Ah-choo! Dwight dwight
Bless you. Angela angela
Thank you. [Angela turns to look at him.] Dwight dwight
Okay, Jim, you owe me one-twenty, and Phil, you owe me two-thirty. Kevin kevin
Let's open a tab, because you and me are gonna be playing more often. Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Count me in! Andy andy
No. Phil Maguire phil-maguire
All right! Andy andy
Okay. You had some fun, and uh, I think I paid for it. So let me get my last shot in there. Is there anything you can do for me? Jim jim
I'll tell you what. My fiscal year ends in two months, let's talk then. Sound good? Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Absolutely. Jim jim
Good playing with you guys. Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Right on. Andy andy
You know it's a tough thing, seeing a grown man take six shots to get out of a sand trap but, I had to give Phil credit for not quitting. Which is what I told him. I also told him I don't quit either, and I'd call him every single day until he gave me his business. Which he then did, after ...fifteen minutes of me blocking his car. So I am now his paper supplier! And I shot a 102 today, so I'm feeling pretty good. Jim jim
The job fair will be closing in five minutes. Eighth period will commence as scheduled. Woman on mic woman-on-mic
Hold down the fort, I have to do something. [walks up to microphone] Excuse me. If you can hear me, I'd like you to look around at all these companies and know that none of them are good enough for you. H&R Block? Come on, I mean I don't even know what they do. Frank Regan Funeral Home? Too much formaldehyde! The Air Force? [Airforce recruiter glares at Michael] Air Force is cool. The refreshments? Bush league! You know, that's not what you want. Dunder- they, well, okay I see security is coming so I just want to say, come to Dunder Mifflin. Dunder Mifflin, a great place to work! Anybody? Show of hands, anybody want to intern at Dunder Mifflin? We do not offer college credit, we cannot give you any sort of pay, but it is a really fun work environment. Anybody? Show of hands? Damn... it. Okay, I'm gonna wrap it up here. Thank you for your time, and drive safe. Michael michael
[Dwight and Angela exiting, he opens door for her] Thank you. Angela angela
You're welcome. Dwight dwight
[clink of beer bottles] Beers? You closed it? Pam pam
I closed it! Jim jim
Yes! Oh! [runs into his arms, kisses him] Um, congratulations to you, sir. [they shake hands business-like] Pam pam
Thank you. Oh, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Jim jim
Well done. Pam pam
Thank you. You know what, screw this! [pulls Pam into a big smooch] Jim jim
Oooh! [Kevin and Andy add suggestive "bow-chicka-wow-wow" vocals] Kevin kevin
Today I did something stupid. I questioned myself. And I will never do that again. Because I look at somebody like Jim Halpert and I think, that guy can do anything he wants to do. He could do anything, and he chooses to work here, selling paper. Just like me. Michael michael
[standing way too close to Jim and Pam] Yeah, kiss her. Kiss her good. [Jim and Pam stop kissing] Michael michael

I don't know any of those. Pam pam

Do I have what it takes?" And I think we both know the answer. We'll find that out together. You can keep that. Michael michael
Are you sure? Brad brad
Mmm, yeah. Michael michael
Sweet. [camera zooms in on Pam] Brad brad
Don't fold it, though. Michael michael
We have the Dundies, my birthday, those blow out, and it's sexy, it's sort of a sexy atmosphere, you know? The other day, in the parking lot, I actually found a condom. So. [to Pam] I've been meaning to ask you, do you know whose that was? [Pam shakes head no] So, sexy is fun... Michael michael
Well, it was nice meeting you, I'm, I'm gonna take off. Brad brad

Whoa, come on! Brad brad
So, I forgot to mention that my old temp is now my boss, so, gives you an idea of how quickly you can move up in this... Michael michael
Yeah, I get it, okay, I'm not interested. Stop following me around; you're really starting to creep me out. Brad brad
One other thing I wanted to... Michael michael
Nnn, look. I was just being polite. I don't want to waste my life selling paper for your stupid company, okay? [walks away] Brad brad
[laughs] Ohh...Nah. Michael michael
I'm gonna take so much money off that guy. That guy is a whale. I'm gonna clean him out. This is really gonna get me out of a hole. Kevin kevin
He's not my client. Kevin kevin
If your client likes Italian food, you bring him to Cugino's. And if your client likes a little action, you bring him a gambler. And if your client hates Cornell, you bring him Andy. Jim jim
[tries to break club over knee] Ow! Ow! [tries again] Owooh! Andy andy
Guy's kind of a douche. Phil Maguire phil-maguire
Yeah, well, you know...Cornell. Jim jim
[chuckling] I guess. Phil Maguire phil-maguire

[chuckling] Okay. Justin justin
Okay. Michael michael
Have you given any more thought to Dunder Mifflin? Michael michael
