Oh, sorry, mate. David Brent david-brent
[English accent] Oh, sorry, mate. Excuse me. Mate. Michael michael
[laughing] What you doing? David Wallace david-wallace
English? Michael michael
You picked on the wrong person, I can tell you that. David Wallace david-wallace
Oh no no, I'm not picking on you at all. You're English, correct? Michael michael
Yeah big time, yeah. David Wallace david-wallace
I'm working on an English character. Would you mind gi... It's called Reginald Pooftah. Michael michael
Ooh! David Brent, my liege. How are you? David Wallace david-wallace
Michael Scott. Michael michael
Oh, there you go. I do characters as well. I got a Chinese fella. He's called Ho Li [bleep]. That's what it sounds like. David Wallace david-wallace
[laughing] Michael michael
Herrow! Herrow! David Wallace david-wallace
I do Ping. Herrow. I Ping! Michael michael
You can't do that these days. You can't. David Wallace david-wallace
No, no, no. And people don't understand that is has nothing to do with making fun of a different nationality. Michael michael
No, no. No, comedy is a place where the mind goes to tickle itself. That's what she said. [laughs]. [hugs Michaels] Ohh. David Wallace david-wallace
That's good. Pleasure to meet you. Michael michael
Where are you working? David Wallace david-wallace
Dunder Mifflin. Michael michael
Any jobs now? David Wallace david-wallace
No, not right now. Michael michael
Just let me know. David Wallace david-wallace
All right. See you around. Michael michael
All right. David Wallace david-wallace
Bye-bye. What a nice guy. Michael michael
Your first student is here, Mister Bernard. Erin erin
That's actually "Master of Ceremonies" Bernard. Andy andy
Last year, I went to a seminar called "The Ten Secrets of Real Estate". Turns out it was just a ploy to sell me time-shares in Idaho. Cut to, you know, spending a weekend in Boise, terrible time, super lonely. But I get to thinking maybe I should put on my own seminar to lure clients. Andy andy
Oh it's... [points to conference room] Erin erin
[enters] [in a gruff voice] Hello, I am here for the small business seminar. Michael michael
Michael? Erin erin
Nein! I'm greek! My name is Mikanos. Michael michael
Ooh. Wait, Michael? Erin erin
Okay. Michael michael
I am the plant. Every great seminar has one. My job is to make the speaker look good, and I do this through the techniques of leading questions and laughing at all jokes. And the character "Mikanos", is just a little added flava. "Mikanos" is loosely based on another character I do, "Spiros", who is more about the ladies. Michael michael
Thank you so much Tuna Turner. You are simply the best. Andy andy
Listen, this isn't a favor, all right? This is a good idea. We all win. Jim jim
Go higher. I get super flexible when I'm nervous. Andy andy
Wow. [sees guy at Erin's desk] Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Hey, Andy, I'm really, really sorry to do this to you, but I have a meeting today that I totally forgot, so I can't be apart of this seminar. Jim jim
No. What? You can't do that. You are a critical part of this seminar. You're the charming warm-up guy, Andy andy
I know. Jim jim
If the seminar was a meal, you'd be the amuse-bouche. You like, signal the flavors of the whole night. Andy andy
I'm really sorry. I can't do it. Jim jim
You can't. You can't. Andy andy
I can't have this go badly. I'm a terrible salesman, and I haven't been making very many sales lately, or ever. This is my only idea on how to turn things around. If it goes badly, I might lose my job, which would suck because this is the only job I've ever been good at. Andy andy
Will you let me know when this whole seminar thing's over? Jim jim
What's going on? Do you know that guy? Pam pam
I just have a meeting, uh, outside the office. Jim jim
Hey. Dwight dwight
Hey. Jim jim
[to Erin] How are the marks? Dwight dwight
What are some of your small business ideas? Dwight dwight
I was thinking we could buy up of abandoned mine shafts. Older guy older-guy
Oooh! {Phyllis}, {Stanley}, {Dwight} phyllis stanley dwight
That's great. There's a big, big future in that. Dwight dwight
A lot of mines in Scranton. Phyllis phyllis
Um, what about you? Dwight dwight
Uh, credit cards. Younger Guy younger-guy
Uh-huh. Dwight dwight
My company would act as an intermedium, for like, point two cents off every transaction. Younger Guy younger-guy
Wow! Dwight dwight
Something with cell phones. It's like, every time you make a phone call I'd make point two cents. Or anything like any on-line shopping I would get point two cents. Younger Guy younger-guy
Right. Okay? Great. Dwight dwight
Great. Stanley stanley
You promised us whales. These are worms. Dwight dwight
They're not worms, Dwight, okay? They're just people with tiny businesses. They're baby whales which is even cuter. Andy andy
I'm out. Stanley stanley
Stanley, you're suppose to close. Andy andy
I'm out too. Phyllis phyllis
What? I already lost Jim. Salesmen are suppose to help each other out. We're suppose to be a team. Andy andy
We're no more a team than the people staying in the same hotel are a team. Dwight dwight
You know what might be kind of fun? I was thinking , you know Andy is having a seminar today? What if we went in as a greek couple? Mikanos and... Michael michael
Oh, I don't know, Michael. I'm not feeling up to that. Holly holly
Okay. Michael michael
Holly broke up with A.J last week, which is the greatest thing that has ever happened... to me. To Holly, it's been the worst week of her life, and I know for a fact that there was a week for her in high school when she got mono and her first period ever. Too much information? That's what I thought. But, you know what? Here I am using it. Michael michael
[as Mikanos] If-a you change-a you mind, why don't you talk to Mikanos? Michael michael
Is Mikanos greek? He sounds Italian. Holly holly
Ugh. You're the fifth person to tell me that today. Michael michael
Maybe Mikanos ran away to join the Italian circus. Holly holly
Okay, yeah, like a character history. Good. Tom Hanks does that. Michael michael
[muttering] Down... there. [to Pam] Is "jlp" a word? Erin erin
"Jelp?" J-e-l-p? Pam pam
No, j-l-p. Like, "I jlp... I jlp you!" Erin erin
I don't think that's a word. Pam pam
I'm playing Scrabble with Gabe, and I've never won a game. Erin erin
The winner gets to pick the movie we watch. I have won no games. So far I've seen "The Shining", "Rosemary's Baby", "The Ring". Not really my thing. Although, I... I do like the early parts of the movies where they have a perfect family and everything. Erin erin
You want some help? Pam pam
Really? Erin erin
Mm-hmm. Pam pam
Yes. Erin erin
K-a. "Ka"? What does "ka" mean? Pam pam
It means you're playing someone who's going to destroy you. Why did you play "moo"? Oscar oscar
Because I'm playing to win. I'm playing "moo", I'm playing "milk". Whatever it takes. Erin erin
Okay, but look, you could have hit "mood". Would have played a... Oscar oscar
Uh... Erin erin
A triple word. Oscar oscar
Like the cow mood yesterday. God. Erin erin
Or moon. Oscar oscar
The cow jumped over the moon. Erin erin
She's stuck on that one thing. Oscar oscar
No, it doesn't have to just be cow stuff, right? Pam pam
Kevin, Jim dropped out of my seminar, and I'm just... I was wondering if you could replace him as my charming warm up guy. Andy andy
Andy, I'm no Jim. The only way that I'm Jim is in the movie version when Jim sees what his future would be like if he never met Pam. Kevin kevin
Hey, that's crazy talk. I think you're great. Andy andy
Then I won't let you down. Kevin kevin
Cake. Kelly kelly
In you go. Ryan ryan
Hi, Ryan, you went to business school, right? Andy andy
Yup. Ryan ryan
I need somebody to talk to this seminar about business. Andy andy
And? Ryan ryan
Can you do it? Andy andy
Okay. I don't... I don't like committing to things just like that. Ryan ryan
So no? Andy andy
No, I don't like committing to not doing things, either. That's just as big a commitment. Ryan ryan
Oh, baby. Kelly kelly
What do I put you down for, bro hombre? Andy andy
Yes. Ryan ryan
All right! Andy andy
Yes, I'll do it. Ryan ryan
Okay, than you so much. It's going to be so awesome. Andy andy
And if I flake, I flake. Ryan ryan
What? Andy andy
Kevin, you open it up. Andy andy
Yep. Kevin kevin
Ryan, you come in with your small biz expertise, right? And then Creed: Andy andy
Welcome everybody. Awesome to see you guys. My name is Andy Bernard but you can call me The Nard Dog. Andy andy
Hi Nard Dog. I'm Lu Peachem. Older Woman older-woman
Let's get things started, shall we? You guys ready to hear from the Dunder Mifflin business experts? Good. Well, as you can see on your program... first up is a speech called, "Don't Just Dream it, do it." Yes! Please give a big hand to Mr. Kevin Malone. [plays Ozzy Osboure's Crazy Train] Andy andy
[running laps around the conference room] Yes! Kevin kevin
There are some people who have charm and some people who don't. Guess which type I am. Charm type. Kevin kevin
[out of breath] Dream... big. Right? So what I want you to do is dream the biggest that you c... an. [coughing] And then double it! [coughing]. Kevin kevin
Are you okay? Andy andy
No. Yes! Kevin kevin
Here... Andy andy
No. I'm fine. Okay, from here now. The first lesson that I'm gonna teach you, right, is about finding success. And the key to finding success is to picture a winner. [coughing] [vomiting]. Okay, so then, what are you picturing right now, right this second? 'Cause the universe is yours, people. Get out of the way! [runs out of room] Kevin kevin
I'm really excited to introduce you guys to Ryan Howard. He has achieved a great deal in the last... Andy andy
But perhaps no achievement is greater than his on-again, off-again girlfriend. Kelly kelly
What are you... Andy andy
Who am I? I'm Kelly Kapoor, the business bitch. Kelly kelly
It is important to brand yourself, so I have a couple of things in works. "The Business Bitch", "The Diet Bitch", "The Shopping Bitch", "The Etiquette Bitch." Kelly kelly
I could sit here, and I could tell you the ten secrets of business, and you would have a great time, and you would learn a lot. But who better to tell you than the Yale University adjunct professor in management, Professor Scott Powell, who I have on my Blackberry. It's ringing. Kelly kelly
Hey, Kelly Kapoor. What a delicious surprise. Professor Powell professor-powell
Profess Powell, you are on speakerphone. Kelly kelly
Uh, why? Professor Powell professor-powell
Do you think you could tell us the ten secrets of business? Kelly kelly
Um, there aren't really ten secrets. Professor Powell professor-powell
Come on Scott, please? It's me. Kelly kelly
Um, all right. Well, um, I guess know your market would be key. Practice fiscal discipline. Professor Powell professor-powell
Mm-hmm. Kelly kelly
That brilliant little bitch. Andy andy
A little treat for our old friend Gabe. Put that "q" right there. Oscar oscar
Wait. Why? Erin erin
Put the "q" there, sweetie. Oscar oscar
I think there's better... Pam pam
Put the "q" there! [phone rings] Sorry I yelled. Oscar oscar
You could have just told us what you were thinking. Pam pam
There's no theater in that. Oscar oscar
There's no yelling in that, either. Pam pam
Well... Oscar oscar
What do you do in your free time? Holly holly
[as Mikanos] Practice Olympics. Michael michael
Mmm. Do you like movies? Holly holly
[as Mikanos] I like the musical "Grease", or as we call it, "home". Michael michael
We have to try this out on somebody. Holly holly
[as Mikanos] Hello. Michael michael
Look, you want to order something? Hank hank
She will have a greekaccino. Michael michael
I don't know what that is. Hank hank
It... Michael michael
[with accent] It's a very strong coffee with milk from a goat. Holly holly
[laughs] I can't believe-ee. It's a miracle. She can talk! Michael michael
No more brain damage. Holly holly
No more brain damage! Michael michael
Ahh! Holly holly
I don't know. Holly holly
Ladies and gentlemen, our special guest speaker will provoke you. He will inspire you. He is... Creed Bratton. [applause] Andy andy
Two eyes, two ears, a chin, a mouth, ten fingers, two nipples. A butt, two kneecaps, a penis. I have just described to you the Loch Ness Monster. And the reward for its capture? All the riches in Scotland. So I have one question: Creed creed
I picked out our movie. It's called "Suspiria". It pushes all the boundaries. All your preconceived notions about what horror can be come crashing down. Gabe gabe
When I win... Erin erin
Ooh. Gabe gabe
We're gonna watch "Wall-e", where all the boundaries of color are pushed. Erin erin
It is hard to explain why Erin is doing so well today. The only thing I can think is Erin is living out some "Slumdog Millionaire" scenario, where every word she's playing has a connection to her orphan past. It's possible. Gabe gabe
So what's your crazy business pipe dream? Dwight dwight
Well, I started my own golf supply company. Guy guy
[unimpressed] Really? Dwight dwight
It's taken off faster than I expected, so I came here to learn about creating manageable growth. Guy guy
[quietly] Phyllis? Dwight dwight
Hmm? Phyllis phyllis
Some of these people are for real. Dwight dwight
Hey, friend. How's it going? Oh, you know what? Let me steep that for you. Dwight dwight
Thank you. Andy andy
Hey, you know what? Good news. We're back in. Let's go sell some paper, Buddy. Huh? Dwight dwight
Really? Andy andy
Ahem! Darryl darryl
Excuse me. Andy andy
I got it. I got it. Dwight dwight
[turning towards Darryl] Hey, do you need a lozenge? Andy andy
[whispering] They're a bunch of jackals. Darryl darryl
What? Andy andy
They left you in the lurch, and if they want to jump in, it means you're almost there. You did this. Bring it home. Darryl darryl
[to Dwight, Stanley, and Phyllis]: Andy andy
Hi. Hope you enjoyed your lunch. Welcome back. [to Michael and Holly] Ooh. Well, hello. Welcome to the seminar. Hey, man. What's goin' on? Andy andy
[whispering] You're gonna blow it. Dwight dwight
Maybe. Only maybe. Andy andy
We got it! Wow! We got it! Oscar oscar
Oscar, wait. I think the victory would be more meaningful if Erin puts the last word in herself. Pam pam
Yes, Pam. Yes, most definitely. Yes. Oscar oscar
Yes. Erin erin
[pulls phone back] Ah. No! [laughing] [hands phone back]. Although I must say, I will have "apoplexy" if you lose. Do you understand? "Apoplexy" is what I will have. Oscar oscar
Apoplexy. Erin erin
Yes. Oscar oscar
Got it. [plays word] Oh, Oscar. Oscar? Erin erin
I played "ape." Erin erin
[on phone] I just want to make a point to that last caller. I disagree. I don't think it is the running game at all. I think we do have to make a few moves in this off-season. Jim jim
Wow! What a day, right? Guess you guys are probably ready to go. And you got my business card, so... Andy andy
[as Mikanos] Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah. You know, I like you. I'm going to give you my secret gyro recipe. Come out here since it's a secret, and I'll tell you. [exits conference room] [normal voice] All, you have to close right now. Michael michael
Yeah, I mean, I'm getting to it. Andy andy
No, you're not. You're getting past it. You have to close. You can do it. Michael michael
Yeah, yeah. Andy andy
Andy, what's the problem? Michael michael
This is hard for me. I'm a nice guy. Andy andy
You, Kelly and Creed, Kevin, they believe in you. Don't let them down. Don't let yourself down, Andy. I'm gonna go back in. I'm going to stall them for a little bit. I want you to get your head together, and then come back in. I want you to close. [entering conference room] [as Mikanos] What is taking that guy so long? Michael michael
Psst. You think this thing's gonna go much longer? Jim jim
I don't know. They're still in there. Pam pam
Ohh! Good-bye. Jim jim
Stop. Out with it. Pam pam
Here's the story. That guy in there is Jim's childhood friend, Tom. Pam pam
Tom Witochkin. One of my best buddies, actually. Jim jim
And when they were both in the third grade, Jim was placed in the top reading group. Pam pam
I was blue group, so it was second from the top. Jim jim
And Tom... Pam pam
Was in the green group. Jim jim
And Jim's mom suggested that Jim spend time hanging with the kids in his reading group, because she though that would be a good influence. Pam pam
And that's what I told him. Jim jim
Right. But how'd you say it? Pam pam
"My mom thinks you're too dumb to hang out with." Jim jim
Okay, who would like to purchase this small business package from me right now? Yes, we got one. Okay, the snowball is rolling. Who else? You can put it off for a couple of days, but I guarantee you, eventually you're gonna realize you need this. So the only thing that's gonna be different is you'll be a couple of days behind where you would be if you bought this from me right now. So who's gonna buy one right now? Andy andy
I'll take one. Older Woman older-woman
Yes! Awesome! All right, anyone else? [younger guy raises hand] Sold! Anybody else? [older guy raises hand] Yes! All right! Andy andy
Yeah bitch. Kelly kelly
Good choice. The rest of you are dead to me. You made the stupidest decision of your life. Andy andy
[quietly] No, no, no. Michael michael
But it was a pleasure meeting you, and you've got my information, so feel free to call anytime. Andy andy
Whoo! Kelly kelly
Hey, you think it's cool if I grab a soda? Tom tom
Yeah, woah. [deeper voice] Yep, absolutely, go ahead. Jim jim
Hey. Tom tom
Hey. Jim jim
How's it goin'? Tom tom
Pretty good. Jim jim
It's been a while. Tom tom
It has been, yeah. Jim jim
So you work here, huh? Tom tom
Sales. Jim jim
Must be a front for some kind of famous laboratory. [laughs] Tom tom
[laughs] Jim jim
'Cause you're so smart. Tom tom
Oh, man. You remember that, huh? Jim jim
Oh, barely. I'm so dumb, you know, stuff goes in, stuff goes out. Not like you probably remember every paper sale you ever made. Paper salesman genius. Tom tom
All right, good catch-up. Jim jim
Yeah. Tom tom
See ya. Jim jim
Where's your jetpack, Zuckerberg? Tom tom
Andy. I didn't think you had it in ya. Dwight dwight
Well, I guess when you looked in me, you forgot about my balls. They're on the outside. Don't how you missed 'em. Andy andy
[with accent] Wonderful seminar! Holly holly
[as Mikanos] Almost as good as the first day when we first met. You are the love of my life. Come to me, Necropolis. Put your lips on my lips. Come on. Michael michael
Michael, I should get back to work. Holly holly
What? Come on. It's time for grapes. [regular voice] Real fun day. Michael michael
So, I won. Gabe gabe
I know. You get to pick. Erin erin
Well, that's actually what I came to talk to you about. I know how much you want to watch "Wall-e". Gabe gabe
Yes? Erin erin
So I got us a compromise. This movie's called "Hardware". It tells the story of a killer combat robot, just like Wall-e, that the government invented to destroy humans. It's some of what you like and some of what I like, and... married... Gabe gabe
Hey, I heard you talking about movies before, and, anyway, I just watched this over the weekend. I thought you'd really like it. Andy andy
There's a "Shrek" two?! Erin erin
Oh, yeah. See you tomorrow. Andy andy
Nice guy. Gabe gabe
Ohh. [laughs] Erin erin
