Pam? Michael michael
Yeah? Pam pam
Did you see Oprah yesterday? Michael michael
No, I didn't. Pam pam
I, uh... I am going to be a father. Michael michael
What was Oprah about? Pam pam
Angelina Jolie was on. And she adopted a baby from Asia, and she said that it changed her life. And that really inspired me. So, I want you to look into seeing how much a little Chinese baby would cost. Michael michael
That's a really big decision. Pam pam
I know. Michael michael
Maybe you should wait before you adopt. Pam pam
Well... Michael michael
Or not adopt. Pam pam
Just do it, okay? Michael michael
Roy's sister looked into it, and the application alone costs a thousand dollars. Pam pam
Um... find out if there's a cheaper, less expensive baby out there, okay? Michael michael
You know, she also said the waiting list is like eight months. Pam pam
Eight months? Michael michael
Yeah. Pam pam
I don't even know if I'll want a baby in eight months. Michael michael
You probably won't. Pam pam
You know what, Pam? If in ten years, I haven't had a baby, and you haven't had a baby... Michael michael
No, Michael. Pam pam
Twenty years. Michael michael
No, Michael. Pam pam
Thirty. Michael michael
Sure. Pam pam
It's a deal. Michael michael
All right. Three pairs of pants. Three pairs of socks. Three packs of condoms. Ryan ryan
Yesh. Michael michael
Uh, fun jeans. Ryan ryan
Right there. Ah. Michael michael
Sign. Angela angela
Per diem. Michael michael
Guess where I am going. I will give you a hint. It is a booze-fueled sex romp, where anything goes. You are correct, sir! I am headed to Philadelphia for the Annual Northeastern Mid-Market Office Supply Convention. And Jim Halpert is going to be coming, which will be fun. Poor little guy. He's been stuck working under Josh, the poor man's Michael Scott, as he is known around my condo. Michael michael
Don't be mad, it is a business trip. Dwight dwight
But I don't understand. It's for managers. Angela angela
Monkey, I am an A. R. M., Assistant Regional Manager. Dwight dwight
I know! It... I was just really hoping we could spend some time together. [A long silence.] Are you still there? Angela angela
Yes, Monkey. Dwight dwight
Don't "Monkey" me! You can't wait to get out of here, A. R. M. Angela angela
In the Martin family, we like to say, "Looks like someone took the slow train from Philly." That's code for "check out the slut." What is... why are there flies in here? Angela angela
Oh my God! Are you so excited for tonight? I am so excited. You guys are going to click, I can feel it. So what are you wearing? Kelly kelly
This. Pam pam
You look so pretty. Kelly kelly
Thank you. Pam pam
Yes, I have a date. He's a cartoonist for the local paper, which is really neat, because I like to draw too. I'm kind of nervous. I haven't been on a first date in nine years... probably shouldn't broadcast that. Pam pam
Well, remember, no matter how much you may want to, do not sleep with him on the first date. It gives him all the power. Kelly kelly
Sleep with who? Whom, whom... whom? Michael michael
My neighbor Alan. They're going on a date tonight. Kelly kelly
Oh, wow! Oh my God, I have a great idea. You know what you should do to be hilarious? Wear your wedding dress. It would be a great icebreaker. Michael michael
And your veil. Dwight dwight
Yeah, do it! Michael michael
I'll probably just wear this. Pam pam
Really? Okay. Well, word of advice: Michael michael
There's my girl. I noticed you handing out some shekels. How would one get on that train? Creed creed
That was for per diem, for Philadelphia. Angela angela
That town smells like cheese steaks. Meredith meredith
That town is full of history! Angela angela
Andrea's the office bitch. You'll get used to her. [introducing himself] Creed. Creed creed
Can I have my neck pillow back? Michael! Can I have my neck pillow back? Dwight dwight
Hey, Michael. Josh josh
Hey, Josh, how ya doing? Michael michael
Pretty good. Josh josh
Good to see you. There he is! There's the traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Come here, you. Come here! Yeah! The product... the progidal... my son returns. Michael michael
I was shocked when he told me he was transferring to Stamford. It's like the firemen. You don't leave your brothers behind, even if you find out that there is a better fire in Connecticut. Michael michael
It's really good to see you, man. Jim jim
Yeah! Wow, I didn't expect that. It's good to see you too! Michael michael
Oh, hey, how's it going up there? Have you made any sales yet? Dwight dwight
Yeah, sold about forty thousand. Jim jim
Hey! Michael michael
Shut up. That's impossible. Dwight dwight
No, it's not. I did. Yep. Jim jim
Well, I did it too. Dwight dwight
You know, when I saw Dwight, I realized how stupid and petty all those pranks I pulled on him were. And then he spoke. I wonder how hard it would be to get a copy of his room key. Jim jim
So did you hear? Kevin kevin
What? Toby toby
Pam's back on the market again. Kevin kevin
Really? She's dating? Toby toby
If I weren't engaged, I would so hit that. Kevin kevin
So what kind of commissions you get up there? Dwight dwight
Oh, Dwight. I've missed you so much. Jim jim
You're so immature! Dwight dwight
Listen, Michael, I heard you were a great salesman. Josh josh
Ah. Michael michael
And I just want to let you know that if our branch absorbs your branch, I'm going to look for a place for you at Stamford. Josh josh
Oh, hey! Jan jan
Hey, Jan. Dwight dwight
We all checked in? Jan jan
Yes. Josh josh
Great, let's dump our stuff and meet back here in half an hour. Jan jan
Okay. Josh josh
Okay! Jan jan
Jan? Look, I think we need to set some ground rules. Michael michael
What are you talking about? Jan jan
The eight-hundred pound gorilla in the room. Carol. I'm still dating her, so nothing can happen between us at the convention. Michael michael
Step away from me, Michael. Jan jan
Thank you for being so brave with all of this. Thank you. Michael michael
Alan's cartoon is so funny, right? Kelly kelly
Mm-hmm. Pam pam
And they're, like, so smart. I don't even know what they mean half the time. Kelly kelly
This party is going to be awesome. Dwight dwight
I know! That is specifically why I chose a room close to the elevator. More foot traffic. Michael michael
Check it out. Dwight dwight
That is crooked on that side. Michael michael
Wow. Dwight dwight
Hey hey! Michael michael
That is a lot of liquor. Jim jim
Yeah. Michael michael
And a dart board. Jim jim
Well, that's how we do it in Scranton. Or did you forget? There ain't no party like a Scranton party, 'cause a Scranton party don't stop. Michael michael
We should probably head on down and hook up with Jan. Josh josh
Hey, well, we have time! One for the road, gentlemen? Michael michael
A shot of MIDORI, perhaps. Josh josh
Oh, no, sorry, it's an inside joke. There's this bartender at Stamford who, uh... you know what? You'd just have to be there. Jim jim
Wish I was. I love inside jokes. I'd love to be a part of one someday. Michael michael
Um, we should... Josh josh
Yeah. Jim jim
All right, see you guys down there. Change your mind, come back up. Michael michael
I'll do a shot, Michael. Dwight dwight
Ugh, that would be gross. It's not even lunch yet. Michael michael
SWAG! Stuff we all get. I basically decorated my condo for free with all of my SWAG. Michael michael
Check it out. Hi, I'm Michael Scott, Dunder-Mifflin. Michael michael
Dwight Schrute, Assistant Regional Manager, Dunder-Mifflin. Dwight dwight
All right. Jerome Bettis jerome-bettis
I'm a huge fan. Dwight dwight
Thanks. I appreciate it, guys. Jerome Bettis jerome-bettis
You know what? I'm having a huge blowout tonight, Room 308. Hope you can come. Michael michael
All right, maybe. If I can. Jerome Bettis jerome-bettis
Well, cool! Okay, so... can I tell people you're gonna be there? Michael michael
No, you cannot. Jerome Bettis jerome-bettis
So maybe. See ya. Michael michael
Why do they call him The Bus? Dwight dwight
Because he's afraid to fly. Michael michael
Smile! Dwight dwight
Do you remember me from last year? There's a party in my room, 308, can't miss it, right off the elevator. Tonight. Be there! Michael michael
All right, Jan just emailed me. She wants us to meet her up front. Josh josh
Yep. Yeah, she's up front. Michael michael
You don't have email on your phone. Dwight dwight
I don't have to, I just know. Yes, hello? Michael michael
No one just called you. Dwight dwight
All right. Josh josh
All right, nice meeting you, Ted. Take care. Jim jim
I'll see you soon. Ted ted
Yeah, stop by later. Josh josh
[into phone] See you in a bit. Bye-bye. [to Dwight] May I have a moment of your time please? Michael michael
I need you to do something for me. Michael michael
Yes. Anything. Dwight dwight
I want you to dig up some dirt on Josh. Find out if there are any skeletons in his attic. Michael michael
I'll talk to my buddy down at the station, stat. Dwight dwight
Hey, Pam. Toby toby
Hey! What's up? Pam pam
It's, uh... I was... might ask if you wanted... Toby toby
[answering phone] Dunder-Mifflin, this is Pam. He's not in the office. Can I take a message? I will. You too. [hangs up] Sorry. What's up? Pam pam
Um, if, uh... um... I just completely forgot what I was going to say. It's so weird. Toby toby
Okay. Well, if you think of it, I'll be here. Pam pam
Okay. Toby toby
So I called my buddy down at the station today. Had them run a background check on Josh Porter. See if there's any known aliases, et cetera. Dwight dwight
And? Michael michael
He wasn't volunteering today. Dwight dwight
Business has been pretty crazy around the office. Michael michael
Oh yeah? Jim jim
Yeah. Moved Ryan over to your desk. Michael michael
Oh, tell him I say hi. Jim jim
I will call him later with that message. Michael michael
Hey, how is... Toby? Jim jim
Toby Flenderson is everything that is wrong with the paper industry. Is he why you left? Michael michael
Oh, no, it was... you know, a good opportunity for me, a promotion. I got a chance to... Jim jim
Opportunity, promotion, blah, blah. You know, Jim, those are just words. Have you taken into account other factors, vis-a-vis bosses? Is Josh funnier than I am? Does he even have a girlfriend? Because I have two, basically. Michael michael
Michael, it's really not a competition. Jim jim
Jim got us a great lead with a new rep from National Envelope. We can grab lunch with them tomorrow. Josh josh
Great! Jan jan
Hey, Jan, Jan? Don't worry, I have got the tip. Michael michael
Whoa. Michael. Dwight dwight
Wow, oh my God, thank you. Waiter waiter
You're welcome. Michael michael
Was that your per diem? Dwight dwight
No, that was a different hundred dollar bill. Michael michael
What have you generated, Michael? Jan jan
I have generated a lot of interest in my party this evening. Michael michael
What party? Jan jan
The party I'm having tonight in 308. Obviously, you are invited. Michael michael
Michael, um... Jim and Josh are in meetings all day. And I am in and out of meetings. I can't stay on top of you 24/7. Jan jan
You should order the most expensive thing on the menu, so he knows you're worth it. Phyllis phyllis
If you do that, you're going to have to put out. Stanley stanley
Oh, yeah. You'll have to put out. Phyllis phyllis
Is there a key for Jane Doe? Thank you. Angela angela
Any messages for 308? All right. Michael michael
Hey hey, fellers. Michael michael
Michael. Jim jim
Hey, Michael. Dwight dwight
What's up? Michael michael
Well, Jim and I have a meeting with Uni-ball in about forty-five minutes, so we should probably go now. Josh josh
Hey, check this out. How about that? A little friendly competition. Stamford versus Scranton. Michael michael
I don't think so. Josh josh
Oh, Jim. Looks like you picked a bad time to defect, my friend. Michael michael
Fine! All right. Josh josh
Okay! Excellent. Oh... Michael michael
Keep the wing flaps. Dwight dwight
Shut it. [answering phone] Hey, Pam, what's up? Yep, yech... no. Tell him I will give him general specifics tomorrow, okay? Yes. [to others] Say hi to Pam! Michael michael
Hi, Pam. {Jim}, {Josh}, and {Dwight} jim josh and-dwight
Yes. That is Josh and Dwight and Jim. [to others] Pam says hi. [into phone] Have fun on your date! Very good, talk to you later. Bye. Michael michael
You first. Michael michael
Come on. Nice try, Josh! Dwight dwight
Not. It hit the rim. Okay, and... okay. Double or nothing. Michael michael
Or what? We didn't bet anything, Michael. Josh josh
Well, let's... Michael michael
Yeah, we should go. Josh josh
Come on! Michael michael
We gotta go. Josh josh
Come on! Michael michael
Uh... we'll do it later. Josh josh
Say, while I have you here, could I talk to you about some new and exciting advances to our product line? Evan evan
Fine. Michael michael
Jim and I have different definitions of friendship. I think it's talking and being friends, and Jim thinks it's moving to Connecticut and being best friends with Josh. Well, phooey on that. I, uh, I'm done. I am not going to be speaking with him anymore. Whatevs. Long-distance relationships never work. Michael michael
That is so true. Ready? Evan evan
Okay, let me tell you what we're looking for. Michael michael
Great. Evan evan
Sorry, my meeting ran late. Michael michael
Really? Jan jan
Yes, Jan, really. With a rep from HammerMill. Michael michael
They're exclusive with Staples. Josh josh
Used to be. Evan will call you in the morning to work out the details. We can now sell HammerMill products. Michael michael
Yes! Ha! Dwight dwight
Well, Michael, I underestimated you. Jan jan
Yeah, well, maybe next time you will estimate me. Michael michael
Dwight's room key. And... Dwight's room. What can I say? Old habits die hard. Jim jim
D? Angela angela
Oh my God. Dwight got a hooker! Oh my God, I gotta call... well, I gotta call somebody, I don't even know who to call. Dwight got a hooker! Jim jim
So, Alan, Pam is obsessed with your cartoons. She reads them every day. Kelly kelly
Oh, great. Alan alan
I don't want ketchup. Ryan ryan
You love ketchup! He loves ketchup. Kelly kelly
So how do you come up with your cartoons? Pam pam
Well, I just, uh... I kinda think about stuff that I see, or dream them. Alan alan
You dream in cartoons? How fun! Pam pam
Hey, first guest! You are going to have some tequila, my friend. Michael michael
I thought there was a party in here. Guy guy
This is the party. Michael michael
This is room 308? Guy guy
Party central! So, what can I do you for? [Guy leaves] All right. Michael michael
See, this one is great, because it can work on a couple of different levels. Alan alan
Huh. Pam pam
[French accent] Freedom fries for the table. Alan alan
Freedom fries. Yeah. Pam pam
Yeah. I mean, people always say, like, "Don't be edgy." But I don't know any other way. Yeah, you get it. Alan alan
Well, it was, uh, it was really nice meeting you, Alan. Pam pam
Yeah. Next time bring some of your illustrations, I'll let you pick my brain. Alan alan
More freedom fries. Pam pam
Yeah. Alan alan
That's great. Pam pam
Okay. Alan alan
I went on a date. It wasn't a love connection, um... I think when I like someone again, I'll just kinda know. Pam pam
Michael. Am I the first to arrive? Jim jim
People have been filtering in and out. Michael michael
Can I get a drink? Jim jim
What? Michael michael
Can I get a drink? Jim jim
Sure. You like Cosmos? Michael michael
Yeah. Jim jim
Sure, sounds good. So why are you here? Is Josh busy? Michael michael
Michael... Jim jim
I get it! No, no, I totally get it. He made a better paper airplane, Stamford is better in sales... I get it. We had some fun. We had some laughs. And that's just... Michael michael
Wait, wait. I didn't transfer because of you. You're a good boss. You're a great boss. Jim jim
I'm not better than Josh. Michael michael
Michael, it's not about... I transferred because of Pam. Jim jim
Oh my God. You don't even know. She's single now. Michael michael
No, I just... I heard something about that. It's just, I kind of put it all on the line. Twice, actually. And she said no. Twice. Jim jim
I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry. Hey, you know what? I will talk to her. Michael michael
Nope, that's okay. Jim jim
Yeah. Michael michael
That's all right. Jim jim
I will. I'll talk to her. You should at least talk to Roy. I mean, he knows exactly how you're feeling. Michael michael
Yeah. Okay, maybe. Jim jim
Are we early? Evan evan
Hey! No, you know, people have been filtering in and out. Michael michael
Hey. Jim jim
Evan, this is Jim. Michael michael
How are you? Jim jim
Hey, uh... Arnie Reisman. Michael, Jim. Evan evan
Hey, Ernie, how ya doing? Michael michael
Do you guys work together? Evan evan
No, we used to. Now we're friends. Jim jim
Best friends. Michael michael
Some people need dozens of friends to say, "Hey, look at me, I'm popular." But not me. I'm very picky. I need three, maybe two. When you meet that someone special, you'll just know. Because a real relationship, it... it can't be forced. It should just come about effortlessly. Michael michael
Now, would you do the pleasure of hitting the lights, sir? [lights go out, leaving Michael's black light on] Ha, ha, ha. Michael michael
Ha, ha, ha, ha. Dwight dwight
Whoa. What are those stains? Michael michael
Blood, urine, or semen. Dwight dwight
Oh, God, I hope it's urine. Michael michael
Today I'm headed to Philadelphia for the annual Northeastern Office Supply Convention. [makes horns gesture and heavy metal scream] Wooo-yaaaaah! Oh, these things tend to be kind of crazy. Michael michael
[Angela enters Michael's office] Ah. Michael michael
Sign. Angela angela
Per-diem. [singing as he signs] Perrrr-diiiiieeeemmmm! [shows off $100 bill to Ryan] You know, Ryan, it's all about the Benjamins. Michael michael
[reading checklist] Fun jeans. Ryan ryan
[points to door] Right there. Michael michael
Fourth quarter projections for Jan? Ryan ryan
Yes. What? Oh, yeah, have Pam give those to me. Michael michael
Will do. Ryan ryan
Sure you don't want to come? Michael michael
Yeah. Ryan ryan
Gonna be fun! Change your mind we can get you a cot. Michael michael
[shakes his head] Ryan ryan
A couple of years ago, I went to one in Hartford. "Connecticut." And Todd Packer and I went to this bar and met a girl. And [laugh] Packer decides to make out with her. Turns out that her boyfriend is the bouncer at the bar. [laugh] I love this. The bouncer chases us out to Packer's Vette, jump in the Vette, he peels out, and I [laugh] I don't make it to the car. [turns serious] Um, and the other bouncers caught up with me and really did a number on me... It was in the paper... [brightens] But to answer your question, yeah, I'm really excited about this weekend. Michael michael
See that factory? Michael michael
Mm-hm. Dwight dwight
I almost worked there. Michael michael
No! Dwight dwight
Yup. Yeah, I applied for a job there. Michael michael
What would you have done? Been manager? Dwight dwight
I was going to be a bottle capper. Michael michael
You? A bottle capper?! [laughs in disbelief] Dwight dwight
I know, I know. Crazy world. Crazy, crazy world. Michael michael
Yes, I'm aware of Jan and Michael's... history. Um, I don't really like to talk about it 'cause it's unprofessional. Kind of gross. Josh josh
Josh reminds me of a guy I went to high school with. Big football star, girls loved him. Whatever. Guess what he's doing now. He's a TV announcer for the Eagles. Up in the... [laughs] He doesn't even get to play in the game, I mean. Michael michael
So, you ever been convicted of a felony? Dwight dwight
What? Uh, no. [to Jim] Uh, I want you to make sure you call Karen and get her to fax that vendor list over. Josh josh
Misdemeanor? Dwight dwight
Um... When I was in the Coast Guard, a couple of us broke into the women's barracks and we got arrested for trespassing. Josh josh
Coast Guard? So you know how to fight underwater? Dwight dwight
[stunned] Josh josh
[Jim, Josh, and Jan walk in the hotel lobby] Josh, um... [Jim continues walking ahead] Why don't you come up to my room for a couple of minutes and we can just go over the schedule for tomorrow together. Jan jan
Can we do it over breakfast? It'll be... Josh josh
A quick drink? Jan jan
Thanks, but maybe another time. Josh josh
[putting on a good face] Great! [walks off] Jan jan
