Next up, secretary Schrute will read the minutes from Sunday's meeting. Man man
Minutes from previous meeting of Knights of the Night. No, Jim, hey! Dwight dwight
Oh. Jim jim
This meeting is for Knights of the Night only. Dwight dwight
Knights of the Night are volunteer crime patrollers. We're often compared to the Guardian Angels, but we could not be more different from them. Seriously, we are nothing like the Guardian Angels. I mean, broad strokes purposes, sure. Think Guardian Angels. One of our many recent good deeds? We set out to capture the Scranton Strangler. Mission accomplished. Not by us. Dwight dwight
I'm actually just looking for my Blackberry, so, carry on. Jim jim
No, no, no, no, no. I see how this movie ends. You make fun of me, everyone laughs, ha, ha, ha... screw you! Dwight dwight
Dwight, don't be bothered by your friend's presence. Man man
What are you going to do now? Are you going to make fun of our leader's weird voice? Huh? [mimicking the leader's voice] Dwight, don't be bothered by the [mumbles]. Over the line, Jim. Dwight dwight
I'm just looking for my phone, so... pretend I'm not here. Jim jim
Fine. Minutes from previous meeting of Knights of the Night. That's our official name, Jim. Dwight dwight
Sounds good. Jim jim
Reflective strips were glued to patrol jackets. Knights went outside with flashlights to test them. Dwight dwight
Smart. Jim jim
And the rest was just [mumbles]stuff. Dwight dwight
Go ahead and read it, some people weren't here. Man man
Okay. Knights stayed outside to play flashlight tag. Dwight dwight
Oh, come on, that sounds awesome. Jim jim
It was pretty cool. Member member
Was it? Jim jim
It was fun. Member member
It was pretty awesome. Dwight dwight
[answers phone] Hey! Yeah. No, I got it. Just leaving now. Jim jim
January three, 2011. A day which will live in-famously. Holly Partridge Flax, otherwise known as Holly, otherwise otherwise known as a living, breathing angel, is engaged to another man. This is freaking me out. I- okay, let's switch to the happy video, okay? No, no, no, no, let's push through. We'll do this. Michael michael
Today will either be the best or the worst day of my life. Holly gave AJ an ultimatum. He either proposes by New Year's or they break up. Now, if she's engaged, I'm gonna go crazy, and I'm gonna start attacking people. If she's not engaged, in all honesty, I may just burn this whole place to the ground out of happiness. Either way, I am going to need some talking down. And nobody talks me down like myself in a video talking me down. Michael michael
[filming video] Michael, I know what you're thinking. Holly's engaged to another man, and you want to kill yourself. It may seem like a good idea, but it's not. Michael michael
[giggles] Snot. Sorry, it sounded like you said it's snot. I am so sorry. Erin erin
Okay, so killing yourself. [laughs] I was just thinking about snot. Michael michael
Good morning. Angela angela
Hey, guys! Fun thing. The index cards on your desk are resolution cards. You write your New Year's resolution on them, I'll collect them, and then display them on... da-da-da-da-da! This! Resolution board. Pam pam
Wow. Did your baby draw that? Dwight dwight
The glitter is blinding. Angela angela
I think it's good. Phyllis phyllis
It's gonna be fun. Pam pam
I recently met Sue, the office administrator at Vance Refrigeration. She has this awesome wall full of fun initiatives and morale boosters and stuff. Sue just goes for it, she's awesome. Pam pam
I know Sue. She's not that great. And you know her husband's in a wheelchair, right? Phyllis phyllis
Okay, champagne. Erin erin
Happy. Michael michael
Sponge. Erin erin
Sad. To soak up my tears. Michael michael
Gummi bears and gummi worms. Erin erin
Bears sad, worms happy. Come on, Erin. Michael michael
Ukulele's happy? Erin erin
Sad, something to break. Michael michael
Chocolates. Erin erin
For you, job well done. Michael michael
Thank you! And two bottles of scotch. Erin erin
Both sad. Michael michael
And did you get the tickets? Erin erin
I did! I did, indeed. Two front row center, to Paula Poundstone, Live in Poughkeepsie. Holly's favorite. I hope she doesn't call us up on stage. That would suck. "Hey, you think you can do my job better?" I don't know. "What's your name?" Michael. Michael michael
I'm really excited for Michael either way. Because if Holly chooses to be with him, he will be so, so happy. And if not, he'll be avoiding the biggest mistake of his life! Erin erin
Oh, hey, guys! I'd like to introduce you to a new little friend of mine. His name is New Year's resolution board. Pam pam
Shaaa-shut up. Hello. Michael michael
What happened? Is there a ring? Kelly kelly
So... high five me. We're back. To a happy... [grabs Holly's hand] look at those! Mittens. Are those a present? Michael michael
[whispering] Come on! Kelly kelly
They're warm. Holly holly
They're so fuzzy and warm! Let me feel those. Let me feel that. Put 'er there. Give me a good firm... ooh! That's a good firm handshake. You're hired! Yes, let's get right into the Anderson account, shall we? Yes, yes, right away. Michael michael
Hey, hey, hey. Want me to crank the thermostat up to 90, smoke her out? She can't keep those mittens on forever. Dwight dwight
Yes, no, why? Stop! Yes. Michael michael
[Holly takes off mittens revealing no ring on her ring finger] Congratu-ohhh. Kevin kevin
Wow. Kelly kelly
Oh my God! That's it! That's it! Michael michael
Oh, I get it. Everybody knows about the ultimatum. Holly holly
Yes, I told everyone. Kelly kelly
[sticking both ring fingers up] Ha ha, ha ha! Holly holly
Hey! [sticking up middle finger] Right back atcha, bitch! Kevin kevin
Happy! Happy, happy, happy, happy! Michael michael
Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, calm down, breathe. {Michael} in Video michael

Oh my God! [sprays champagne on Erin] Michael michael
Hey, Dwight, I'm collecting resolution cards. Pam pam
Not doing that. Dwight dwight
Why not? Pam pam
I've achieved plenty and there's no better than the best. Dwight dwight
Drink less caffeine. That's a good one, Pam. Here's mine. Andy andy
Learn to cook for one! Pam pam
Yeah. I love cooking, but I always find myself throwing out half the food that I prepare, so... two years is time to just start preparing the right amount of food for the right number of people, which is one. Andy andy
Well, maybe you'll meet someone. Pam pam
No, some people don't just meet someone. I'm fine with it. Really. This is not a pity party. It's not a party at all. It's just sad. Andy andy
Angela. Pam pam
Yes. Angela angela
Make time for romance! Pam pam
Who's the senator? Oscar oscar
My boyfriend. Angela angela
Oh, you mean the state senator. I'm sorry, I was confused, because you accidentally wrote 'the senator'. Oscar oscar
Ugh. Angela angela
Wait, it's that easy? That's not a resolution, that's just... something I want to do. Okay, fine. I can do that... [sticks note card on board, makes trumpet sound] My resolution is... meet a loose woman. Dwight dwight
Oh, God. Angela angela
That's a good one. Andy andy
Yeah. Dwight dwight
You know what, that's my new one. I'm taking that one, too. Andy andy
Awesome. Dwight dwight
You know what you guys should do? Go to the bookstore at lunch. There's tons of cuties and it's easy to talk to them. 'Hey, what book is that? Cool, let's hang out tonight. Sex already? Whoa...' Darryl darryl
The bookstore? Andy andy
It's that easy? Dwight dwight
I'll come with you, show you how it's done. Darryl darryl
Okay, I'll drive. Dwight dwight
My resolution is to read more. And if someone else is driving me to the bookstore, I can eat my PB&J in the car. 2011 is coming up all Darryl. Darryl darryl
Hello! Oh, somebody's got a new phone! Michael michael
Yeah. Holly holly
That is neat. Michael michael
I got it for Christmas. I'm so out of my league here. Holly holly
[imitating E.T.] E.T. phone Holly. Holly like phone? Michael michael
[imitating E.T.] Holly misses old phone. Holly holly
[imitating E.T.] Why? Michael michael
[imitating E.T.] New phone is confusing. Gets bad reception. Holly holly
[imitating E.T.] Bummer. Michael michael
[imitating E.T.] Bummer. Holly holly
[imitating E.T.] Reese's Pieces. Michael michael
[imitating E.T.] Reese's Pieces? Holly holly
Oh, God, please stop! Kelly kelly
I still have my old phone. This thing... indestructible. [slams phone on desk, phone breaks] Michael michael
[reaches for her cell phone] Oh, I should get this. Hey! Oh, no, don't go see that one, I want to see that together. Yeah, go see that action one. Okay. I love you, too. All right. Holly holly
Holly doesn't seem to be engaged, but she's talking to AJ like she is. I can't figure it out. Do you think she's already dating a different AJ? Michael michael
I don't think so. Pam pam
When you broke it off with Roy, did you still tell him you loved him? Michael michael
No. Pam pam
But you did still love him. Michael michael
I'm not... I'm not going to have... Pam pam
Do you love him now? Michael michael
No! Just talk to her. Pam pam
No. She'd just resent me. Or worse! She would think of me as her friend. [disgusted voice] Oh, hi friend! Blegh. Michael michael
I'll talk to her, Michael. Phyllis phyllis
You think she'd talk to you? Michael michael
Why wouldn't she? Phyllis phyllis
That's true. She's really nice. She'd talk to anybody. Why don't you bring Erin to balance you out? Michael michael
There's a plan. Pam pam
All right! We should divide up by section. I will take romance and travel. Andy andy
I'll take the entirety of the second floor. Dwight dwight
I got that cutie behind the counter. Darryl darryl
Well, if you read a lot, you should check out our e-readers. They're really neat. Bookstore Employee bookstore-employee
Whoa, I work at a paper company, those things terrify me. They could put us out of business, you know? I heard those machines hold like, ten books at once. Darryl darryl
Actually, it's ten thousand. Bookstore Employee bookstore-employee
Holy [bleep], what? Let me see that. It's so light. Like a croissant. Darryl darryl
Hi. Andy andy
Hi. Customer customer
Welcome. Dwight dwight
Let us know if you need anything. Andy andy
Thanks. Customer customer
Why did we pretend like we work here? Andy andy
Is that what we were doing? Dwight dwight
Hey, how'd you do? Darryl darryl
Good! Andy andy
Good. Real good. Dwight dwight
Really? Darryl darryl
Yeah, yeah! Dwight dwight
We kinda nailed it. Andy andy
Yeah, pretty much. But, you know, this place is kinda tapped out, so. Let's roll. Dwight dwight
Cool. Darryl darryl
Okay. What'd you get? Dwight dwight
A book about oceans. Darryl darryl
Oh, really? What else? Let me see. Dwight dwight
No, that's uh. Porn. Pornography. Old lady... nasty... porn. Darryl darryl
[whispering] Follow my lead. Hey, want some company? Phyllis phyllis
Want some company? Erin erin
Oh, sure. Have a seat. How were your breaks? Holly holly
Oh, really good, I went to Portugal. Phyllis phyllis
I went to Portugal. Erin erin
Oh, wow... you went together? Holly holly
No. Phyllis phyllis
No. Erin erin
So, I've just gotta know. What's going on with you and AJ? Phyllis phyllis
Nothing really happened. I mean, I know I made a big deal about this whole New Year's deadline, but um, it came and went... and, we're still together. Holly holly
You didn't break up with AJ at all? I mean, not even for a week to make him buy you a present? Phyllis phyllis
It just wasn't fair of me to give him an ultimatum in the first place. The whole thing is totally my fault. But we're going to be just fine. Just fine. Holly holly
Whoa! Hold on. Darryl darryl
I am not going back until I fulfill my resolution. Dwight dwight
[Dwight heads toward a strip club] Oh, no, no, no. Uh-uh. Darryl darryl
Come on, why not? I've never been in one before. I'm tired of being Mr. Perfect Role Model all the time. Dwight dwight
I'm telling you, don't do it. I've got nothing against strip clubs, but I do have something against them at noon on a Monday. The day shift at a strip club? You can't unsee that. Darryl darryl
Well, we can't just go back, I mean, we came out to meet women. Dwight dwight
Hey, there's a roller rink across the street! There's always chicks at the rink. Andy andy
What kind of chicks are you going to meet there? Darryl darryl
I don't know. Single moms at a skating party. Sweet sixteen, ten year reunion parties. Andy andy
Chicks fall down, need help getting back up. Dwight dwight
Roller derby practice! Andy andy
We're going skating. Darryl darryl
The goal of this meeting is to get everybody excited about their resolutions! Who's been good about their resolutions so far? Erin. Tell us about it. Pam pam
Well, my goal was to learn a new word every single day. And I must say that it is going immensely. Erin erin
Cool! Here's a little 'way to go' gift from Sabre. [tosses Erin a Frisbee] Pam pam
Intercepted! Gabe gabe
Hey! Gabe. Erin erin
Whoops. Gabe gabe
Creed. I noticed you don't have a resolution on the board. What's yours? Pam pam
I want to do a cartwheel. But real casual-like. Not make a big deal about it. But I know everybody saw it. Just one stunning, gorgeous cartwheel. Creed creed
How is it going? Pam pam
I'm having a little trouble motivating. Creed creed
One of the hardest parts about making resolutions is keeping them. In fact, most resolutions are abandoned by February. Pam pam
Or sooner. Michael michael
Yeah. Pam pam
That's not a joke. Michael michael
But that's okay. Because it's not about being perfect, it's about trying. In fact, why don't we go around and confess some of the ways that we've fudged on some of our resolutions? Pam pam
Well, I said that I would eat more vegetables, and I haven't yet. But it's okay. I still have time, since last year, I ate none. Kevin kevin
Okay, well, my confession is that today I had a sip of coffee. But that's fine. Pam pam
Is it? Michael michael
Yes! Because with all of your support, by this time next year maybe I'll be down to one glass of iced tea a week. Pam pam
Next year? Come-I mean, what is the point? What is the point of that? I made a resolution to floss, and I did it. 12:01, January first, BAM! Blood everywhere. Michael michael
Well not all of us are Michael Freaking Scott. Kevin kevin
What is wrong with you people? Can't you stick to anything? Erin, I want you to go to the kitchen and get me some vegetables. Creed, you say you want to do a cartwheel? Nothing's stopping you. Come on, old man, do a cartwheel! Michael michael
Well, I can't, I don't know how. Creed creed
You're just gonna somersault around for the rest of your life and you know what's going to be on your tombstone? Loser. Michael michael
My tombstone's already made, thank you. Creed creed
Just do a cartwheel! Michael michael
This is all I could find. Erin erin
[holding broccoli in front of Kevin] Eat it. Michael michael
You don't have to do that, Kevin. Pam pam
I don't know. I'm glad this is happening. Thank you, Michael. Kevin kevin
Why are you eating stem first? Kelly kelly
This is a new food for me, how else should I eat it? Kevin kevin
The other way. Ryan ryan
Can I get some cheese whiz? Or hollandaise? Kevin kevin
No. No cheese whiz, no hollandaise, no chocolate sauce, just eat it. Come on. Here comes the airplane, there you go. Open, open, into the hanger, there you go. Michael michael
Oh, Michael. Pam pam
Eat it. Put it in your mouth, and just eat it. Michael michael
God, I hate it. Kevin kevin
I don't care whether you hate it! You said you'd do it! Michael michael
All right! Angela angela
Eat it! Michael michael
You're killing him, Michael! Kelly kelly
All right, all right, shh! Michael michael
All right, I ate the fluffy part, can I be done? Kevin kevin
Let me see if you swallowed it, open your mouth. Under your tongue. [reveals hidden broccoli, spits it out] Oh, God! You guys are pathetic. Michael michael
Can I get some candy, or something? Kevin kevin
No! You can't have any candy! Michael michael
I'll get him water. Oscar oscar
Okay, Michael, just settle down. Pam pam
[imitating E.T.] Holly Flax. Michael michael
Yes, Michael? Holly holly
[imitating E.T.] Not Michael, E.T. Michael michael
What's up? Holly holly
Well, I just want to talk about what happened in there. Michael michael
Oh, no, Michael, I don't want to talk about it with you. I mean, I'm fine, I just... I don't want to talk about it. Holly holly
Holly, come on in. Thanks for coming. I thought there should be an HR rep here for this. So, Kevin and Creed, things got a little bit intense in the conference room. Michael michael
You think? Creed creed
And I wanted to apologize. These resolutions should be about you, and I made it about me, and it was none of my beeswax. Michael michael
You were super mean. Kevin kevin
It was insensitive and I am sorry. Michael michael
It was traumatizing, Michael. I wouldn't be surprised if I never ate a vegetable again. Kevin kevin
I really wanted you to follow through on your resolutions. The cartwheel, the veggies... I... care about you. Very much. And you loom so large in my heart that I crossed the line. Michael michael
Okay, Michael, no offense, but you need to get your own life. Kevin kevin
You're right. And I hope that we can still be friends. Michael michael
I don't think I'm there yet, Boss. Creed creed
Well, I am. [hugs Michael] Kevin kevin
Okay, oh! All right. Michael michael
I'm going to help you. Kevin kevin
Okay. Michael michael
[at the skating rink]Hey, uh. It's just you. Anything you want to hear? DJ dj
Um... Dave Matthews Band. No hits! Deep tracks only. Andy andy
Okay. [Ants Go Marching starts playing] DJ dj
I said no hits! Andy andy
I just feel blocked. Like I'm living, but I'm not... Ryan ryan
Hey, Ryan. Kevin kevin
Yeah. Ryan ryan
How's your fart project coming? Kevin kevin
That's real, real classy, Kevin. Hey, was it me or you that just shoved the butt end of a pound of broccoli into my mouth because Michael told me to? Ryan ryan
Me. Kevin kevin
Kevin, don't! Come on! Pam pam
Oh, Pam, soda. Caffeine! Kelly kelly
Yeah, just a little, I have a lot to deal with today. Pam pam
[holding a pack of cigarettes] Well, if you don't have to do 'em... Meredith meredith
Meredith, what are you doing? I could be pregnant! Kelly kelly
Okay, no. Ryan ryan
My resolution was to get more attention. Kelly kelly
No, she's lying. Ryan ryan
Hey, Ryan. [taps board, makes farting noise] Kevin kevin
One, two, three. [does cartwheel] I did it! I did a cartwheel! Erin erin
[bleep] you! [bleep] you! God! Creed creed
Okay, that's it. Pam pam
[throws resolution board away in dumpster] Lesson learned. Pam pam
Sup? Darryl darryl
Hey! Where did you go? Andy andy
To the arcade. Darryl darryl
Oh, cool. Andy andy
Why, did you meet someone? Darryl darryl
Yeah, I did actually. His name is Andy, and he roller skates like a Greek god and you know what? I kinda like hanging out with him. Andy andy
Right on, son. Darryl darryl
Gentlemen. Dwight dwight
And where did you go? Andy andy
Strip club. I was looking at the strippers at the strip club. Dwight dwight
Right. Darryl darryl
So, that's it, guys? If you want, I can put on the strobe. DJ dj
Yeah! Dwight dwight
You want to keep this? Erin erin
No. Michael michael
Do you want to keep this? Erin erin
Yup. Michael michael
Do you want to keep this? Erin erin
You can toss them. Michael michael
My resolution? I never want to make Holly cry again. Unless it's from laughing too hard. Or making love too beautifully. Michael michael
We're gonna be just fine. You know how you say something over and over and the words start to sound weird? Going to be just fine... just fine... just fine... just fine... Holly holly
I just think we need to cool things down for awhile. Yeah, a break. At least until I get back to Nashua. Yeah, I'm sure. Holly holly
Look at where you're going to be doing the cartwheel. So look at where you're going to be placing your hands. So pick a spot. Michael michael
Mmmhm. Creed creed
You ready to do this? Michael michael
Yes, sir. Creed creed
You know what? I'm going to stay here as long as it takes. Michael michael
I really appreciate it, Boss. Creed creed
It's about you. It's about you. Go! Michael michael
I did it! Creed creed
You did? Michael michael
The perfect cartwheel. Creed creed
Okay. Michael michael
What a rush! That's all I had to do all year. Creed creed
Congratulations. All right. Well, all right. See you tomorrow. Michael michael
