Hello hello. Top of the morning to you! Ooh ooh! Green M&Ms! Nature's Viagra! [Grabs and pours Kevin-esque scoop of M&Ms into his coat pocket] Two of my favorite joke areas combined. It'll be a good day. Michael michael
I don't want to bring my friends, why can't it just be the two of us? Kelly kelly
Because it's St. Patrick's Day, people go out in groups. Ryan ryan
Well why don't you invite your friends? Kelly kelly
Why are you being so weird about this? Ryan ryan
Stop fighting. Just on St Patrick's Day, okay? Just one perfect day a year. No hassles, no problems, no kids. Meredith meredith
Why no kids? Ryan ryan
Yeah, where are your kids? Kelly kelly
Nope. Nuh -uh. Not today! Meredith meredith
It is St. Patrick's Day, and here in Scranton that is a huge deal. It is the closest that the Irish will ever get to Christmas. Michael michael
Welcome back, "Dad!" Erin erin
Oh, thank you! Jim jim
Hey! Phyllis phyllis
Hey! Stanley stanley
Welcome back Tuna! Andy andy
Hey... [reveal Dwight's Mega-Desk] Jim jim
Very good. Okay. Will get back to you right away on that, thanks. Dwight dwight
What do we got here? Jim jim
Mega-Desk. Dwight dwight
Of course. Jim jim
Command central. Dwight dwight
Hm hm. Jim jim
Surveillance, gaming- and business. Dwight dwight
Okay. [Pulls desks apart] Just gotta... Jim jim
Okay. Come on! Jim! Dwight dwight
Dweedle Dee and Dweedle Dumb-ass have been away on maternity leave. Now Dweedle Dumb-ass is back, and we have a problem. Yes, getting hooked on Mega-Desk was my own damn fault. But ... I don't care about assigning blame. All I care about is Mega-Desk. That is all I care about. Getting. More. Mega-Desk. Dwight dwight
Oh, I love this, so much fun! There's such team spirit in this room! 'Morning Darling! Jo jo
Morning! Jim jim
Well, this is my last day at the Scranton branch for a while. But I'm leaving it in the very capable hands of some of the loveliest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Oh I'm gonna miss this place. And the snow! Hoo, my dogs love peeing in that snow! Makes me think they're onto something. Jo jo
Oh good morning sweetheart. Jo jo
Morning, honey-pile. Michael michael
I'm sorry but is that a gift I see in your hands? Jo jo
It is. This is a little something for you to remember your time here in Scranton by. Michael michael
[pulls out glass cube with coal.] Is that a lump of coal? Jo jo
Yes it is! Michael michael
Have I been that naughty? Jo jo
No, no no- that is a good gift actually. Buildings here in Scranton are literally powered by coal. Michael michael
Err, thank you very much. We, we don't get to see much coal in Tallahassee, I'm used to alligators, and some of the worst Chinese food you've ever tasted. Jo jo
Mm, that sounds great, actually. Michael michael
Well, if you ever get down in my neck of the woods, you got a place to stay. Jo jo
When you work for Sabre, only one thing matters. And I don't care if you're a loser, or you practice bestiality, if Jo likes you, you are in. And I am in! Michael michael
Erin go braugh! Andy andy
Andy go braugh to you! Nice kilt! Erin erin
Thanks. It's actually my sister's old field hockey skirt. Andy andy
Erin and I have our first date tonight, and it has to be perfect. Why? Because according to "How I Met Your Mother" that's the date that your kids are going to wait patiently to hear about, and you better have a good story for them. Andy andy
No. [re-enters bullpen from kitchen.] Jim jim
Great. Dwight dwight
No. Jim jim
Thank you. [hangs up phone] Dwight dwight
No-no-no-no-no. Jim jim
Oh come on. Come on. Five more minutes? Five more minutes of Mega-Desk? Please? Dwight dwight
[swats over various photos and knickknacks, points at paperwork] Is this yours or mine? Jim jim
They say that no man is an island. False! I am an island and this island is volcanic. And it is about to erupt. With the molten hot lava of strategy! Dwight dwight
Good Lord! [Photo of Cece on Jim's desktop] I can't believe I'm missing this. Jim jim
It's kind of like that lip thing she did last night, like a half snarl, half smile? I get the sense that she's very ironic. Pam pam
Okay. Love you. We'll talk soon. [hangs up phone] Jim jim
Must be amazing being a father right, a miracle of life? Dwight dwight
It is. Big time. Jim jim
Ah, that baby is just discovering the whole wide world right now. Dwight dwight
Pretty amazing. Jim jim
What up is, what down is, who Mom is, who Dad is. Must be tough being here with all that going on. Dwight dwight
Oh it's tough being here for a lot of reasons. Jim jim
I mean, you're here at work, and the baby thinks that the refrigerator is its father. Dwight dwight
Is that what happened to you? Jim jim
I'll tell you what happened to me. I didn't see my father for the first two years of my life. I thought my mother was my father, and my wet-nurse was my mother. Dwight dwight
That's a common mistake. Jim jim
Turned out fine for me. But Mose? Oh. Same story, different ending. Dwight dwight
Hey! [Erin sneezing at desk] Are you sick? Angela angela
Oh, no I'm fine, I just have a little indigestion. Erin erin
In your nose? Angela angela
Yes. [Angela returns to desk and puts embroidered breathing mask on] Erin erin
I'm a little sick but I don't want to miss my date with Andy. I'll get better. Whenever I'm sick it goes away within a few hours. Except once, when I was in the hospital from age three to six. Erin erin
Now, after all the talking I've been doing. It's your turn. This is a town hall meeting. I want to hear what you all sound like. Jo jo
That is a great idea JB. Michael michael
Thank you. You know I get way too many ideas from the top. Now I want to hear your ideas. I mean, did you guys know that Liquid Paper? That wasn't invented by some fancy engineer. No, that was created by a lowly typist. Jo jo
Jo, I have an idea, for suntan lotion - soap. Kevin kevin
You know it doesn't have to be an invention. Jo jo
I have a question. Oscar oscar
Oscar, homosexual accountant. Michael michael
In the training manual it says, that there is a minority executive training program in Tallahassee? Oscar oscar
I am so proud of Sabre's "Print In All Colors" initiative. Any Sabre employee of color, is welcome to apply. [Kelly applauds] Daryl? Jo jo
Daryl. Mellow, soulful, smart for warehouse... Michael michael
Okay hush now. Jo jo
Okay. Michael michael
The Sabre shipping method could be more efficient. Combining inventory systems makes sense on paper, but printers and paper ship differently. It'll be faster to deliver them separately, instead of waiting on everything to come in. Darryl darryl
But you wouldn't need more trucks? Jo jo
Not at all. There's a way that it can be scheduled. I sketched this out downstairs. Darryl darryl
Oh look at you. Jo jo
Look at that picture that you drew. Nice job! We're very proud of you. You know what, we're gonna tape that up on the refrigerator in the kitchen. Michael michael
[Looks over his proposal] I like this Daryl. I like this a lot. Maybe you should be doing your sketching upstairs. Would you like an office up here? Jo jo
Are you serious? Darryl darryl
Yeah. Take Jim's old office. Jo jo
Um. I set my stuff up in there. So... just give me a few minutes to clean that out for you. Gabe gabe
Yeah, I want to hear more from you. Jo jo
Absolutely. Darryl darryl
All right. Jo jo
Thank you. Darryl darryl
Okay. Any questions? Anything on anybody's mind? I'm leaving tonight, this is your last chance for a while! Jo jo
Oh no! Say it's not so, Jo, we're gonna miss you, we're gonna miss you so much! Michael michael
Yes, well okay. Florida ain't that far away. Jo jo
Well, I am heading down there. Michael michael
Well, anytime now. Jo jo
How about July 4th weekend? [Reveals paper ticket] Michael michael
Oh honey you didn't buy a ticket? Jo jo
I did! Michael michael
Oh honey. I'm not home, very often. And uh, me and my relatives, they take up the guesthouse. I think you should check with my office, before you book any dates, okay? Jo jo
You know what, in the spirit of full disclosure, I have actually reserved a bunch of different seats on a bunch of different flights, but there are a couple of flights that only have two tickets left, so I think we should pull the trigger and - Michael michael
Enough! Jo jo
All right, everybody, just try to put a brave face on. Michael michael
Let's follow the chain of events. Jo likes Michael. Jo invites Michael to house. Jo doesn't like Michael anymore. Hmmm. Michael michael
[singing] Moving on up, to the East Side, to the deluxe apartment in the sky... Darryl darryl
Hello. I want you to stop what you're doing right now. You are stressed, and I'm taking you to lunch. Michael michael
No, that's very generous of you, but I'm all set. Jo jo
No is not an option. Michael michael
Yes it is. Jo jo
All right. Well if you need me, I'll be on the other side of that wall. Knock once for yes, twice for no. Michael michael
How many knocks does it take to get you to do some work? Jo jo
[laughs] I'll be over there. Michael michael
And I'm actually pleased to be able to offer you printer cartridges and toner now. Jim jim
[Whispers] Oh Jim, Jim! Sorry to bother you. Dwight dwight
What? Jim jim
My headphones are broken. Dwight dwight
Right. Jim jim
Can I listen to my music at a low volume? Dwight dwight
Yeah that's great. Great. Jim jim
Okay? [Unplugs cord, sings] "The cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue-" Dwight dwight
[Overlapping] When's the last time you upgraded your printer? Jim jim
"- and the man in the moon. When you coming home Dad? I don't know when-" Dwight dwight
[Whispers] Please stop that! Jim jim
"-But we'll be together then-" Dwight dwight
Can you grow up? Jim jim
"-Dad, you know we'll have a good time then." Dwight dwight
[Turns off Dwight's music] Whether it's this time or next time. Jim jim
[Vocalizes and continues song] "The cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon" Andy andy
[On business call] Yeah. Jim jim
[Singing, Dwight supplies beats] "Little boy blue and the man in the moon." {Andy} and {Dwight} andy dwight
No, we definitely can talk about it in the next- Jim jim
"When you coming home Dad? {Andy} and {Dwight} andy dwight
You know, can I call you back? Jim jim
"I don't know when-" {Andy} and {Dwight} andy dwight
That would be great, thank you. Jim jim
"But we'll get together then, we're gonna have a good time-" {Andy} and {Dwight} andy dwight
[On phone in hallway] No, I know I need to work, I just- I feel weird not being home. Jim jim
I am not surprised that Dwight's using my baby to steal my desk. I'm a little surprised that it's working. Jim jim
This fax came for you. [Coughs] Erin erin
Oh no no no! Are you feeling ill? Jo jo
Uh... Erin erin
Oh no honey, if you got a bug, I want you to go on home. I can't have you getting Callie and Jo Jr. sick. These dogs have got to be in a commercial with Dwight Howard next week. Jo jo
Oh! No. I feel like I could lift a car. Erin erin
Yeah, but you sound like death, girl. Now why don't you go on home and take care of yourself and get in bed. And shred that and have them send me a clean fax, okay? Jo jo
Well... [Jo closes door on her] Erin erin
She should go home. It's not the end of the world. We'll go on our date next week. She's still gonna like me in a week. Right? Andy andy
Yes? Jo jo
I was just working at my desk and I wanted to run some new leads by you. [Turns feint] Andy andy
Oh! You're sick! [Andy coughs] Dangit! That's exactly why I sent that receptionist home. Jo jo
No, no, no, no, no. Andy andy
Get everybody sick in the office. Jo jo
I have some good ideas... Andy andy
We don't need any heroes here honey. It's time for you to get on home now. Jo jo
You sure? Andy andy
You'll probably feel better once you get some pants on. Come on. Jo jo
Very nice. Michael michael
Not bad, huh? Darryl darryl
A real Hoop Dreams story you got there. Oh man, you seem to have caught Jo's eye. How'd you make that happen? Michael michael
I impressed her with my good ideas. Darryl darryl
Hm mm. Seriously, how did you do it? Michael michael
I made a suggestion at the meeting that was good. You were there. Darryl darryl
How do I put this delicately? Does her family owe your family something, in terms of a past injustice? Michael michael
Now Mike, I have to ask you to leave, so that I can learn about this tiny television. Darryl darryl
Okay. All right. Michael michael
Hey there. Jo jo
Hey there. So I think I'm done. Gonna head out. Unless you want to chat. Like we were doing earlier. Michael michael
Well there's chatting time and there's working time. I'm still on working time. Jo jo
Mm? Well, the clock says chatting time, so. Michael michael
Well, if you feel like you've done a solid days work... Jo jo
Right. What? Michael michael
Well I mean, if you can put your name on this day, and be proud of the amount of work you've done, then, by all means, you should toodle on home. Jo jo
Mm. mm. Oh well. Michael michael
Anything else I can help you with? Jo jo
No, no, no. That's super-clear-ish. [Exits, closes door, takes off coat.] Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Michael michael
Just because Jo has no life, does not mean that the rest of us don't have lives. Oscar has a life. I think Ryan has a life. This is outrageous. Kevin kevin
Hey Pack-man. Michael michael
Hey what's up, Butt-plug? Todd Packer todd-packer
How you doing stud? You already there? Michael michael
Dude, I've been here since three! I've boot and rallied twice. Todd Packer todd-packer
How's the lady situation? Michael michael
Fat and ugly. You might actually have a chance. Todd Packer todd-packer
Ah damn. That sounds great. Unfortunately I am stuck here, because my boss is making us work late. Michael michael
Oh here's what you do. Hike up your skirt and pull out your tampon, borrow some balls and come meet me! Todd Packer todd-packer
Yeah. Maybe next year. Michael michael
Maybe next "queer." Hey ladies, who wants some bangers and mash? Todd Packer todd-packer
[Opens door, surprised] Oh! Andy! Erin erin
Hi! Andy andy
I'm in my jammy-jams! Erin erin
That's okay, I'm in my "worky-works." You look amazing! Andy andy
Oh, thanks. Come in! Erin erin
Hey! Me and Creed are in. Are you guys in? Meredith meredith
Oh I'm in. Kevin kevin
I'm in. Oscar oscar
All right. [The four of them get out of chairs to run out, Jo exits her office. They retreat.] Meredith meredith
Oh, you don't become the most powerful woman in Tallahassee by slacking off. [Scoffs] You do it by working hard. Or marrying rich. I did both! Jo jo
Ah. Got a little client meeting at Shanny O'Gannigan's tonight. It shouldn't go all night long, so if you'd like me to, I could swing by your house so the baby can experience a strong male presence. [Jim is silent] No? Nothing? Okay. Have fun working. [Whistles "Cat's in the Cradle" song] Dwight dwight
Hi there Jo. Sorry to interrupt. Um, this evening [phone rings] I have... Dwight dwight
Hello? Jo jo
Hey Jo, it's Jim Halpert. I actually scheduled a meeting at 7:30 with a very important client. And it's so weird, because we never have meetings after 5pm. But I was hoping that maybe just this once, it would be okay. Jim jim
Well sure. You know, you go ahead and push some printers. Jo jo
You know I will. And by the way, seriously, we never, never do this! Jim jim
Okay. Jo jo
Okay. Jim jim
Sorry Sugar. What'd you want? Jo jo
Well, you see, I actually do have a meeting. With a client. I'm just gonna reschedule for next week. Dwight dwight
Thank you. Jo jo
[pops back into Jo's doorway] Thanks again by the way. Jim jim
Hey! What are you fellas doing up here? Darryl darryl
We're here to bust you out! Warehouse Guy #1 warehouse-guy
I wish, but uh- Darryl darryl
Dude! Your shirt tucked in? Warehouse Guy #1 warehouse-guy
Oh. Yeah, um, I must have did that when I was in the bathroom. All right then, uh, let me get to it. Darryl darryl
All right. Warehouse Guy #1 warehouse-guy
See you later. Warehouse Guy #2 warehouse-guy
Your hand's cold. Erin erin
It is? I'm sorry. Andy andy
Yeah, have some more blanket. Erin erin
Okay, thanks. Andy andy
What's up? Reid reid
Whoa! Andy andy
You're awake. Andy, this is my brother, Reid. Erin erin
I didn't know you had a brother. Andy andy
He's my foster brother. Erin erin
Well, any brother of Erin's is a friend of mine. Nice to meet you. Andy Bernard. [They shake hands] Andy andy
Cold hands. [Takes spot next to Erin on love seat] Reid reid
Are we rotating seats, or? Andy andy
Oh yeah, you're the guest. Take the easy chair, best seat in the house. Plus, you don't have to sit next to this big dork and her smelly feet. Reid reid
Hey! My feet aren't smelly, they smell like roses. Smell them! [puts her feet in his face] Erin erin
Ooh! [Erin giggles] Reid reid
So, how does the whole foster sibling thing work? Do you guys share one parent or-? Andy andy
None. We were in the same house from ages ten to twelve. And then from fifteen to eighteen. Erin erin
All right. Formative years. [She laughs] Andy andy
Nice skirt. Reid reid
Yeah, it's a kilt. Andy andy
Oh! Sorry! Sorry, sorry. [They retreat. Pan around office still full with staff.] Night Cleaning Crew night-cleaning-crew
Yes, I'm anxious to get off work. But let me be clear. It's not to celebrate St Patrick's Day. It's so I can protest St. Patrick's Day. Angela angela
Overnight all my damn bags home. I'm carrying nothing but my Sable gloves. I've had it with Homeland Security. And I want you to put all those tracking numbers in my Blackberry. Jo jo
How late do we have to work tonight? Michael michael
You never know with Jo. Sometimes we're here til midnight. Sometimes she doesn't show up for three days. Gabe gabe
Why does she do that? Why doesn't she just tell you what your schedule is? Michael michael
Yeah, that would be awesome. I could get a girlfriend. Wouldn't have to go to Amsterdam seven times a year. But uh, I'm young, right? I will date when I'm dead! [Laughs] Gabe gabe
Do I really want to turn out like Gabe? Twenty-six. Single. Tied to my desk. No life, no family. I want to have been married by the time I would've turned thirty. That's just - that's just depressing. Michael michael
Hello Jo. Michael michael
Anything I can do for you Puddin'? Jo jo
There is, as a matter of fact. It's getting sorta late. It's 8:30. And it's St. Patrick's Day, which is a world ethnic holiday. So I have decided I'm going to dismiss my employees. Michael michael
Hmm. Jo jo
I'm thrilled with the work they've done today, both quality and the quantity. Great performance, Very, very solid all the way around. Michael michael
All right then. Jo jo
Okay. Happy St. Patrick's Day. [Starts to leave office] And also, I would like to say that I will be canceling my trip down to Tallahassee. Although I do look forward to our professional relationship. Michael michael
Michael? Jo jo
Yes. Michael michael
I look forward to that too. Jo jo
Ooh. It's coming down out there. Andy andy
Yes. Thank you, for coming all the way here. Erin erin
No, I- Andy andy
I'm so sorry I was so sick. [Andy leans in. She leans in. Reid appears in background. Erin kisses Andy on the cheek.] Erin erin
Ah. Oh great, now I'm gonna get sick. [They both laugh] Andy andy
Excuse me, excuse me. Hey guys! Michael michael
[cheering Michael] {Meredith}, {Creed}, {Oscar} and {Matt} meredith creed oscar matt
Drinks are on me! Michael michael
No! No, no no! Put your credit cards away. Drinks are on us! Oscar oscar
Oh -hoh! All right. Michael michael
Did I mess up my career today? My future prospects at Sabre? I don't know. There is a chance. Yes. I tell you I love my job. But Jo wants me to put on a show for her, and pretend to work late? Nah. I spent all day, trying to make her like me, and I forgot to ask myself something: Michael michael
Yeah. We should be able to have that right over to you by Monday. Yeah no problem. [Reveal Jim behind Quad-Desk] Thank you. Jim jim
What the hell is this? Dwight dwight
Oh! Jim jim
This is not Mega-Desk. Dwight dwight
No, it's not. They call it Quad-Desk. Jim jim
That's ridiculous, this is made up of three desks. Dwight dwight
Oh my God. We're going to have to re-name it then aren't we? [Dwight's phone rings. He crawls into nook under Jim's Quad-Desk] Jim jim
Hello, Dwight Schrute? Dwight dwight
