|

Phyllis|[dressed as Raggedy Ann] Shh. He wears that so he can sleep at his desk. Who are you?
|
||
Kelly|Oh, I’m Carrie Bradshaw from Sex And The City.
|
||
Phyllis|Mm. I like your shoes. [Kelly has 5-inch heels on]
|
||
Kelly|Thank you. Will you help walk me to the fax machine?
|
||
Phyllis|Sure.
|
||
Ryan|I got her, I got her. I can help you. You look amazing.
|
||
Kelly|Inappropriate. Thank you. Who are you, Larry King?
|
||
Ryan|Gordon Gekko.
|
||
Kelly|Oh, from the insurance commercials!
|
||
Ryan|… Yeah.

|

Oscar|[Creed dressed as the Joker enters] Whoa. Awesome.
|
||
Creed|Let’s put a smile on that face!
|
||
Kevin|[also dressed as the Joker] Dammit Creed! I’ve been up since four!

|
||
Andy|[dressed as a kitten] Meow. Sweet ‘stume, dude. Who are you supposed to be?
|
||
Jim|Dave.
|
||
Andy|Cool.
|
||
Jim|You are? [Andy hisses] A cat?
|
||
Andy|[buzzer noise] We were looking for “kitten.”
|
||
Jim|[phone] Oh, hang on one second. Jim Halpert.
|
||
Pam|Hey.
|
||
Jim|Hey New York, Happy Halloween!
|
||
Pam|Thanks. My costume’s getting a lot of attention. [Pam is dressed as Charlie Chaplin]
|
||
-
|
||
Pam|So apparently no one dresses up for Halloween here. I wish I had known that before I used greasepaint for my moustache. And I can’t even take off my hat, because then I’m Hitler.
|
||
-
|
||
Dwight|[dressed as the Joker] Hm mm mm mm. Want to see a magic trick? Heh heh heh! I’m gonna make a pencil disapp– oh! [elevator doors close, reopen.] Disappear.
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|Okay, I think we are set. We have puzzles, string for Cat’s Cradles. Burned this last night. A little road trip CD. Puppets.
|
||
Holly|Oh, look at all this stuff! It’s only seven hours.
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|When Corporate found out that we were dating, they decided they were going to transfer Holly back to her old branch, in Nashua, New Hampshire.
|
||
-
|
||
Holly|Michael is taking a personal day to move me up.
|
||
Michael|Road trip! Right?
|
||
Holly|Breaker one-nine, copy?
|
||
Michael|Oh, copy that breaker. Those Duke boys are at it again.
|
||
Darryl|Hey! Do Not Touch My Radio.
|
||
Michael|We’re not.
|
||
Holly|Kidding.
|
||
Michael|We’re not doing anything.
|
||
-
|
||
Holly|It’s been a weird week since we found out I had to transfer. Michael wanted me to quit and get some job here in Scranton, and I said “Well, why don’t you quit and get some job in Nashua?” And he said “I asked you first.” And I said “First!” at the same time he did. And then I said “Jinx.” And then we never talked about it again and haven’t been back to the conversation. So…
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|All right everybody. I’m out of here. Jim, you’re in charge.
|
||
Jim|Oh, I’ll walk you out.
|
||
Michael|Ah, you are quite the gentleman.
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|You can let people go a couple of minutes early if you want.
|
||
Jim|All right. We’ll see. [to camera] No.
|
||
-
|
||
Jim|I am off to New York. My brother Pete from Boston, and my brother Tom from New Jersey are taking Pam and I out for lunch, to celebrate the engagement. Or maybe to beat me up. I can never tell with those two.
|
||
-
|
||
Dwight|Good morning temp.
|
||
Ryan|‘Morning. [Dwight reveals Cornell sweatshirt] Wow. Good morning Dwight.
|
||
Dwight|Thought I’d go casual today. Morning everyone. Good morning. Hello. How are you Phyllis?
|
||
Andy|Ha ha ha. That’s funny. [angrily] Take that sweatshirt off! Hey buddy.
|
||
Dwight|Andy.
|
||
Andy|Remember when I jokingly yelled at you to take your sweatshirt off? Totally joking. But, you should know, those colors are sacred. Not that I care. But if you’re not a Cornell man, you probably shouldn’t wear them.
|
||
Dwight|No I get it. I totally understand. And uh, I just want to assure you, that I mean no disrespect. You see, I’m applying!
|
||
Andy|Come on, you think you can get into Cornell?
|
||
Dwight|Well if somebody who barely out-sells Phyllis, can get in, I should be fine.
|
||
Phyllis|I’m sitting right here Dwight.
|
||
Dwight|I meant that as a compliment to you Phyllis, as well as a slight to Andy.
|
||
-
|
||
Dwight|Cornell is a good school, and I want to better myself through higher education. If it makes Andy angry, so be it. [He sips from his Cornell mug]
|
||
-
|
||
Holly|I have to unpack this weekend but maybe next weekend we go to the outlets!
|
||
Michael|Cool!
|
||
Darryl|Mike you’ll drive this every weekend?
|
||
Michael|We’re gonna switch back and forth, the driving. Sometimes we’ll just meet in the middle. It’ll be fun. Wait a sec. Oh I love this song.
|
||
Michael and Holly|Life is a highway, I want to ride it all night long.
|
||
Michael, Holly, and Darryl|If you’re going my way, I wanna drive you all night long! If you’re going my way…
|
||
-
|
||
Dwight|Hey there. So uh, how do you think we’re gonna do against Penn this year? Nathan Ford’s arm looks pretty strong.
|
||
Andy|Well he’s had a pretty good season so far— Stop saying “we.” You did not go to Cornell. Okay, you’re just doing this to screw with me.
|
||
Dwight|Not so. Cornell is an excellent school. Without its agricultural program, we probably wouldn’t have cabbage. At least not modern cabbage.
|
||
Andy|I know it’s an excellent school, Dwight. I went there. My blood runs Big Red.
|
||
Dwight|Someday, we’ll both get together in Comstock Hall and just laugh about all of this.
|
||
-
|
||
Pam|Hey!
|
||
Tom|Hey, future baby sis!
|
||
Pam|How are you Tom. Nice to see you.
|
||
Tom|I’m good.
|
||
-
|
||
Pam|I asked Tom and Pete to come early so we could play a prank on Jim at lunch! Pretty awesome, right? I think they’re into the idea. They’re probably thinking, “That Pam Beasly, she’s the coolest sister-in-law on the planet. She’s the best! The absolute best.”
|
||
-
|
||
Pam|Okay, so here’s what I’m thinking. I’m gonna say that before ceramics class, I took off my ring, and then when I changed back out of my smock, it wasn’t in my pocket anymore, and I lost it.
|
||
Pete|That’s perfect. You know what would be even more hilarious? Remember that thing we did when Jim was in high school with his girlfriend?
|
||
Tom|Right! That would be hilarious! We should totally dog her, about being an artist, never making any money!
|
||
Pete|That, is awesome!
|
||
Tom|Like she basically has a hobby, for a job.
|
||
Pete|Oh yeah.
|
||
Pam|So, not the ring then? The- the- Not doing the ring?
|
||
Pete|I think this is better.
|
||
Tom|The other thing would “get” Jim.
|
||
Pete|This is nicer, it’s fun. It’s fun!
|
||
Pam|Okay, okay.
|
||
Tom|Oh, he hates it when we pick on his girlfriends.
|
||
Pam|Oookay….
|
||
-
|
||
Pam|They came up with that idea really fast.
|
||
-
|
||
Darryl|This trip was longer than I thought.
|
||
Holly|Yeah it did look shorter on the map-
|
||
Michael|Ah! Ah! Ahhhh! [waking up] Hey. Whew. Ow. I was having a nightmare.
|
||
Holly|You were sleeping? You were talking before.
|
||
Michael|Was I? Really? Was I saying anything interesting?
|
||
Darryl|Not really.
|
||
Michael|All right. What’s the scoop, how far?
|
||
Darryl|Four hours. Almost halfway there.
|
||
Holly|We’re only halfway?
|
||
Michael|Halfway! Okay, You know what I want to do, I want to pull over and find little bed and breakfast for when we meet in the middle. Emphasis on the bed. And the breakfast.
|
||
Darryl|Next exit isn’t for five miles.
|
||
Holly|Let’s check there.
|
||
-
|
||
Pam|Hey guys.
|
||
Jim|Hey, how are you?
|
||
Pam|Hi! [smooches]
|
||
Jim|Good to see you.
|
||
Pete|Nice to see you again, Pam.
|
||
Tom|Pam, I haven’t seen you in so, so long!
|
||
Jim|All right so now we can sit… and get comfortable.
|
||
-
|
||
Darryl|There’s nothing out here man.
|
||
Michael|Yeah. I don’t know I just- I imagined a hotel right here. Pool, over here. Really good breakfast place. With really good bacon.
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|Here we go, fourth time’s a charm. “Life’s like a road where you just… one day here, and the next day back…Sometimes you deal with it, today you don’t, sometimes you do, what you want… there’s a world out there…. [Holly sobs] Hey. Are you crying?
|
||
Holly|No.
|
||
Michael|Allergies?
|
||
Holly|No.
|
||
Michael|Did Darryl touch you?
|
||
Darryl|WHAT!?
|
||
Holly|No, Darryl did not touch me. Can we just keep going, please? [crying]
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|What’s the matter?
|
||
Holly|It’s not gonna work.
|
||
Michael|Sure it is.
|
||
Holly|There’s too much distance.
|
||
Michael|Oh no no no.. It’s gonna work, it’ll be fine.
|
||
Holly|Michael we’ve only been dating each other for a few weeks
|
||
Michael|Listen to me. I like you so much.
|
||
Holly|And I like you too.
|
||
Michael|And I’ve dated four women in the last–
|
||
Holly|I’ve dated four guys last year too.
|
||
Michael|Not last – no. In like the last ten years.
|
||
Holly|Oh.
|
||
Michael|I’ve dated almost four women, and you are so far above them, it is stupid.
|
||
Holly|Michael. Don’t. Don’t. Don’t make it harder than it has to be.
|
||
Michael|That’s what she said.
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|Holly thinks that this relationship is over. Well, you know what? I am not gonna give up that easy. I’m gonna make this way harder than it needs to be.
|
||
-
|
||
Andy|Take that down. [Dwight has hung a large red Cornell banner from the ceiling]
|
||
Dwight|Excuse me?
|
||
Andy|Take. That down.
|
||
Meredith|You know I once dated a couple of guys from Cornell. They were really nice. They gave me a ride home.
|
||
Andy|I seriously doubt that anyone from Cornell dated you.
|
||
Creed|It’s pronounced Ker-nell. It’s the highest rank in the military.
|
||
Andy|It’s pronounced “Corn-ell!” It’s the highest rank in the Ivy League!
|
||
Dwight|Andy, let’s just talk about this man-to-man, after work.
|
||
Andy|Fine.
|
||
Dwight|What do you say?
|
||
Andy|Yeah, good. Can we— [Dwight pulls out Cornell mascot bobble-head] Grr. Heh heh heh. That’s Big Red Bear! That’s a bobble Big Red Bear! God!!
|
||
-
|
||
Holly|If you leave on Friday, by five, you’ll be rolling in at… midnight? At best?
|
||
Michael|Yeah.
|
||
Holly|And then sleep in Saturday. That only leaves us less than 24 hours before you have to go back again.
|
||
Michael|Okay, okay. I will talk to you on the Bluetooth the entire trip. So we’re talking constantly all the way.
|
||
Holly|Oh.
|
||
Michael|I’ll tell you everything that I see. Everything that I pass by, things that I witness on the road.
|
||
Holly|Well-
|
||
Michael|Maybe I’ll see an accident one weekend?
|
||
Holly|How long could we keep that up?
|
||
Michael|Years!
|
||
Holly|Years?
|
||
Michael|Yeah.
|
||
Holly|Years? Of just a few hours every weekend?
|
||
Michael|Here’s my wish. I want you to meet a great guy, and I want you to be happy.
|
||
Holly|[kisses his temple] Thank you.
|
||
Michael|My wish has come true, incidentally, because, you’ve met me, and you are happy.
|
||
Darryl|Clever, Mike.
|
||
-
|
||
Tom|So Pam, how much does an artist make after they leave art school?
|
||
Pete|Yeah, not a lot of money in the arts, right?
|
||
Jim|That’s not really true. There’s a lot of things you can do with an art degree actually.
|
||
Tom|Maybe Pam should pay the check by drawing a picture on this napkin.
|
||
Jim|Wow, that’s- that’s a little rude. What’s your deal?
|
||
Pete|Hey, just having fun Jimmy.
|
||
Tom|Yeah. Right Pam?
|
||
Pam|Yup! [Tom and Pete give Halpertian looks to camera]
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|You know what? I think we’re a great couple. I think we’re a classic couple. I think we’re like Romeo and Juliet. I think we… go together so well. We’re like peanut butter and jelly, don’t you think?
|
||
Holly|I do, I think so.
|
||
Michael|Then don’t do it. Please don’t do this. Please don’t do this. [they continue arguing]
|
||
Darryl|[leaving someone a message on his cell phone, looking very uncomfortable] Hey what’s up, I just thought I’d try you. I was thinking about that story where you ran into the girl you used to babysit.
|
||
Michael|I don’t know what I’m gonna do!
|
||
Darryl|Please call me back.
|
||
Michael|Please?
|
||
Holly|You’ll be okay
|
||
Michael|I’m not gonna be okay.
|
||
Darryl|Please…
|
||
Holly|You will.
|
||
Michael|No I won’t! I’m not strong! And I’ll go back to Jan, and I hate Jan! Oh God!
|
||
-
|
||
Andy|[outside men’s room] You might be interested- [stops when he sees Stanley come out]
|
||
Stanley|What?
|
||
Andy|Dwight!
|
||
Dwight|Andy, I’ve been meaning to ask you, which a cappella group should I join? The Harmoniacs, or the Do-Re-Mi-Go’s?
|
||
Andy|Hm. Assuming you had the voice to be in any of them, it’s irrelevant. Because I called admissions and it looks like I, will be conducting your university interview.
|
||
Dwight|That’s a conflict of interest.
|
||
Andy|Yeah. Big one. So, should I not let you in now, or do you want to do the interview, and then I won’t let you in?
|
||
Dwight|[thinks] Interview.
|
||
Andy|Excellent. When the hourglass strikes three, then in the room whence employees confer.
|
||
Dwight|What?
|
||
Andy|The conference room!
|
||
Dwight|Okay.
|
||
-
|
||
Andy|Who are your role models?
|
||
-
|
||
Andy|If I had to put Dwight’s chances into a percentage, I would say he has none percent chance.
|
||
-
|
||
Andy|So, Dane Cook, Jack Bauer, and Eli Whitney. You’re doing great.
|
||
-
|
||
Jim|Oh wow. This is my niece Vanessa. She’s a trumpeter. And, look at her.
|
||
Pam|Cute.
|
||
Jim|That must be really fun for you and Marci huh?
|
||
Tom|Yup. She only knows how to play “When the Saints go Marching In.”
|
||
Jim|Love that one.
|
||
Pete|Yeah but, she doesn’t think she’s gonna be like, career musician right?
|
||
Jim|Here you go again! What is your deal today?
|
||
Pete|Just saying. How many famous trumpeters can you name besides… Louis Armstrong?
|
||
Pam|Miles Davis.
|
||
Jim|One.
|
||
Pam|Chet …something.
|
||
Jim|Half.
|
||
Pete|The point is Pam, is there are jobs-
|
||
Pam|Dizzy Gillespie.
|
||
Jim|Also good.
|
||
Pete|And there are hobbies. I love baseball more than anything, but you don’t see me try to get on the Mets.
|
||
Tom|You don’t!
|
||
Jim|Pete couldn’t make the Mets. She’s at Pratt. You played JV baseball. Will you lighten up a little bit?
|
||
Pete|I’m just calling it like I see it.
|
||
Pam|I don’t know if I’m gonna make any money with art.
|
||
Jim|Pam, don’t worry about it.
|
||
Pam|I mean it’s a very competitive field. But I have a professor who says I have a lot of promise, and if I don’t try now, I never will. So…
|
||
Jim|Guys, what is going on?! [Pete and Tom burst out in laughter]
|
||
Tom|We pranked you!
|
||
Pete|It was Pam’s idea. Pam was the mastermind.
|
||
Pam|… Got you.
|
||
Pete|That was killer. I was so close to blowing it.
|
||
-
|
||
Andy|Let’s see how well you know your Big Red history.
|
||
Dwight|Bring it.
|
||
Andy|Who was Cornell’s eighth president?
|
||
Dwight|Dale Raymond Corson!
|
||
Andy|Mm, I’m sorry that’s incorrect. Cornell’s seventh president was in fact, James A. Perkins. [writes in a notebook] Comprehension skills, sub-par.
|
||
Dwight|Hmm, interviewing skills, sub-par. [writes in a notebook]
|
||
Andy|What are you writing? Can’t even give Cornell your full attention?
|
||
Dwight|On the contrary, I’m helping Cornell. By evaluating their interviewers.
|
||
Andy|Nobody wants …that, to happen.
|
||
Dwight|Well, when they get my evaluation we’ll see if they’re interested.
|
||
Andy|“Applicant is attempting to blackmail interviewer, showing low moral character.”
|
||
Dwight|“Interviewer is threatening applicant with an arbitrary review process.”
|
||
Andy|“Applicant is wasting everyone’s time with stupid and inane accusations.”
|
||
Dwight|“Interviewer has suspect motives.”
|
||
Andy|“Applicant has a head shaped like a trapezoid.”
|
||
Dwight|“Interviewer has turned off applicant’s interest in Cornell, and they are going to go to the vastly superior Dartmouth.” Ever heard of it? I think I have everything I need.
|
||
Andy|I have everything I need- [talking over each other]
|
||
Dwight|And you will be hearing from the –
|
||
Andy|And you will be hearing from –
|
||
Dwight|-Cornell Application Department,
|
||
Andy|which I will not be a part of-
|
||
Dwight|And you will not be pleased with the result. [pulls table away from Andy]
|
||
Andy|And YOU will not be pleased with the result!
|
||
Dwight|And your affiliation with Cornell –
|
||
Andy|And your affiliation with Cornell –
|
||
Dwight|Will end completely!
|
||
Andy|Will end completely!
|
||
Dwight|[has won the table war] That is all sir, you may go.
|
||
-
|
||
Darryl|[Michael and Holly cautiously pass each other] There’s another dolly in the truck, Mike. You could take more than that lamp.
|
||
-
|
||
Pam|For the record, I wanted go another direction. Which was way better.
|
||
Jim|Well, I’ll be the judge of that. What do you got?
|
||
Pam|Okay. I lost my engagement ring in ceramics class. Left it in my smock. I had this whole thing where I go back to class, wrongly accuse another girl. Look I even used makeup to put a ring around my finger, you can hardly see it, it’s very subtle.
|
||
Jim|That is good.
|
||
Pam|Thank you.
|
||
Jim|Truthfully anything would have been better than that prank. [laughs] Oh, text message from my brother. “Pam cool. Welcome to the family.”
|
||
Pam|Oh. Hey how about at Thanksgiving we prank Tom about being bald?
|
||
-
|
||
Darryl|This is the last of it.
|
||
Michael|Oh that’s mine actually. Um, maybe put it back in the truck.
|
||
Darryl|You’re not staying?
|
||
Michael|You know I have some things I need to do this weekend. I just remembered, so, I’ll just ride back with you.
|
||
Darryl|But you want me to put it back in the truck.
|
||
Michael|I’ll be down in just a second. [into house] Holly?
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|So um… I think I’m gonna go back with Darryl [Holly hugs Michael] Okay. [they kiss goodbye.] Goodbye.
|
||
Holly|Okay. Bye.
|
||
-
|
||
Darryl|I know it’s hard Mike. Break-ups hurt.
|
||
Michael|We didn’t break up.
|
||
Darryl|Looked like it. Sometimes when I’m down like this, it helps to sing the blues.
|
||
Michael|Okay.
|
||
Darryl|[bluesy] Da na na na na… da na na na na…
|
||
Michael|That’s a really pretty song.
|
||
Darryl|Da na na na na. No, no, check it out, look. Da na na na na… want to do that?
|
||
Michael|Okay.
|
||
Darryl|That’s when you hit me with what’s getting you down, okay?
|
||
Michael|Okay.
|
||
Darryl|Da na na na na.
|
||
Michael|Da na na na na.
|
||
Darryl|Da na na na na.
|
||
Michael|Da na na na na.
|
||
Darryl|No, wait. You’re, you’re supposed to… Never mind. Da na na na na.
|
||
Michael|Da na na na na.
|
||
Darryl|Da na na na na.
|
||
Michael|Da na na na na.
|
||
Darryl|Da na na na na!!
|
||
Michael|Da na na na na!!
|
||
Darryl|Da na na na na .
|
||
Michael|[deeper] Da na na na na.
|
||
Darryl|Yeah! Da na na na na.
|
||
Michael|[deeper] Da na na na na.
|
||
Darryl|YEAH! Da na na na na.
|
||
Michael|[blues singer] Da na na na na…
|

-
|
||
Andy|[Whistling, enters office in farmer overalls] I thought I’d come in casual today. Man, I’m hungry. Anyone else feel like a beet?
|
||
Dwight|Where did you get those?
|
||
Andy|What, these? Bernard Farms. Best beets in the state.
|
||
Dwight|I see what you are doing. But I do not know where you are going with this.
|
||
Andy|Well you will. Soon as you visit, my new beet farm. [attempts to bite into a raw beet, beet is too hard] You’re supposed to cook these, aren’t you?
|
||
Dwight|[scoffs] Cornell. [easily bites into a beet]
|
||
-
|
||
Oscar|We’ll miss you.
|
||
Holly|Well, I’ll be around.
|
||
Oscar|[chuckling] Isn’t it a seven-hour drive?
|
||
Holly|It’s not that bad. But if I’m really jonesing to see you guys, I can always fly.
|
||
Oscar|I don’t know if it’ll be shorter to fly. [Holly gasps] You have to drive to Boston, right? That’s an hour and a half. Get there an hour before the flight. Now you’re up two and a half hours. The flight to Philadelphia is an hour fifteen. It’s another two and a half hour drive to Scranton, assuming there’s no traffic, because….
|
||
Holly|[interrupting Oscar] Well, I just want to say goodbye. [hugs Oscar]
|
||
Oscar|Okay.
|
||
Holly|Okay.
|
||
Oscar|Bye.
|
||
Kevin|Well, Hol, this is it.
|
||
Holly|Yeah, okay. [extends hand to Kevin]
|
||
Kevin|[outstretches arms for a hug, Holly reluctantly complies]
|
||
Kevin|[whispers in Holly’s ear, Holly reacts with horrified look]
|
||
Holly|[pushing Kevin away] Um, yeah, that’s not gonna happen.
|
||
Kevin|Yeah, but you have to admit it would be wild.
|
||
Kelly|So, you’re dumping Michael? Smart.
|
||
Holly|No, we’re gonna do the long-distance thing.
|
||
Kelly|Oh! You guys are gonna keep dating? That’s so romantic!
|
||
Holly|Yeah, thanks.
|
||
Phyllis|I almost quit my job so I could be closer to Bob, and we’re in the same building.
|
||
Holly|Oh, well….look, we could always call, or email, or write. I should get all your email addresses.
|
||
Angela|Yes, we’ll email you, and then you’ll have our addresses.

Holly|[talking head] It’s a little sad. Michael and I just started dating. He wants me to stay and get a job around here as a baker. Or a baker’s helper.
|
||
Michael|[talking head] This is gonna be awesome. This is gonna be awesome. I’ve decided that on my drives to Nashua, I am going to learn French, the language of love. And on my drives back, I am going to learn Spanish; what the cleaning crew speaks.
|
||
Darryl|[talking head] I’m driving them up for five times what I would’ve made at work. I thought I made a good deal. [expression changes from smiling to downcast] Then I realized I’m gonna be trapped in a truck with Mike all day.

Michael|[playing cat’s cradle with Holly] Okay, am I grabbing this one?
|
||
Holly|[chuckling] No, that’s not what you’re grabbing.
|
||
Michael|[laughs]
|
||
Holly|Put….okay….
|
||
Darryl|[driving truck] Hey, y’all are not gonna be playing these little private games all the way.
|
||
Holly|Sorry, Darryl.
|
||
Darryl|It’s like Driving Miss Daisy, you know?
|
||
Holly|All right.
|
||
Darryl|You gotta include me in the conversation.
|
||
Michael|Fair enough.
|
||
Darryl|If you don’t mind.
|
||
Michael|Okay, okay. What kind of car games did you play in the ‘hood?
|
||
Darryl|I got a game. Cow surfing.
|
||
Michael|Cow surfing?
|
||
Darryl|Spot a cow, last person to say “Jackson Five” has to get on its back and ride it.
|
||
Michael|Really?
|
||
Holly|Were there even cows where you grew up?
|
||
Darryl|Everybody got a government cow.
|
||
Michael|Cow surfing. [spots a cow out the window] Okay, here we go, there’s a cow.
|
||
Holly & Darryl|[in unison] Jackson Five!
|
||
Michael|Oh, shoot! Okay. All right. All right. [throws up hands] Pull it over. Here we go.
|
||
Darryl|Here we go. Go get him, Mike!
|
||
Michael|[reaching to open door] I’m gonna do it.
|
||
Holly|[grabs Michael’s arm] No, Michael. It’s not a real game.
|
||
Darryl|Then why did you say “Jackson Five?”
|
||
Michael|The man has a point.
|
||
Holly|Darryl….
|
||
Darryl|All right, I made it up.
|
||
Michael|[visibly shocked] What? Why?
|
||
Darryl|Because I wanted you to like me.
|
||
Michael|[gasps] I do! Hey, come on!
|
||
Darryl|[trying not to laugh] Okay.
|
||
Michael|Jackson Five.

Holly & Michael|[both laugh hysterically at portable DVD player on dashboard while Darryl drives, looking miserable]

|
||
Michael|[rubbing noses with Holly] You’re the one.
|
||
Holly|No, you.
|
||
Michael|You are.
|
||
Holly|You are.
|
||
Michael|No, you are.
|
||
Holly|You are more.
|
||
Darryl|[rubs face in exasperation]
|
||
Michael|You’re the best.
|

Holly|You’re better.
|
||
Michael|You’re better. You’re better than my best.

Holly|You’re better than betterest.

Michael|Here we go.
|
||
Holly|Hold your breath!

Michael|Okay, Ready?
|
||
Darryl|[setting stopwatch] Go.

Michael & Holly|[both inhale deeply and lock lips while holding their breath]
|
||
Darryl|[looks to camera for several seconds] At least it’s quiet.
|
||
Michael|Watch this. Darryl, watch this.
|
||
Holly|Look, Darryl, lip up.
|
||
Michael & Holly|[kiss each other while puffing their cheeks and mumbling]
|
||
Holly|Down, and give me 50!
|
||
Michael & Holly|[in unison while kissing with mouths closed] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
|

Darryl|Hey, you know what would be fun? Like, sleeping.

Michael|Yeah

Holly|[hugging Michael] Oh, snuggles!
|
||
Michael|Yeah. Right, snuggle time.

||
Darryl|There you go.
|
||
Michael|[makes squeaking sounds]
|
||
Holly|Spooning.
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|Here’s what I was thinking. The following weekend, I drive up.
|
||
Holly|Mmm hmm.
|
||
Michael|We get right in the car, we pop up to Montreal. It’s like another seven hours.
|
||
Holly|Ooh!
|
||
Michael|Speak.
|
||
Holly|We could stay in a cozy B&B with a fireplace?
|
||
Michael|Absolutely. Oh, and you know what, Darryl? You are invited to go as well.
|
||
Darryl|Oh, thanks. Thanks. No.
|
||
Michael|Come on, it’ll be fun.
|
||
Darryl|Thank you. Thank you. No.

|
||
Michael|[emerging from convenience store with two ice cream sundaes] Hey, look at that. Fun, right?
|
||
Holly|Mmm.
|
||
Michael|Mmm mmm! Remember the 15-scooper we had last week? Wasn’t that good? I was Scooperman, you were Scoopy-Doo. Remember what you said? You were laughing.
|
||
Holly|Yeah.
|
||
Michael|Say what you said.
|
||
Holly|No, Michael. I don’t….[mimicking Scooby-Doo] I’m gonna puke!
|
||
Michael|[laughs] I’ll save you! I’m Superman! Scooperman!
|
||
Holly|Darryl didn’t want any?
|
||
Michael|I didn’t ask.
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|We want the same things.
|
||
Holly|I know, but from seven hours away.
|
||
Michael|That is a lucky number. Seven. 7-Up. Seven dwarfs.
|
||
Holly|Michael….
|
||
Michael|Seven deadly sins. It’s a sign.
|
||
Darryl|Hey, y’all wanna hear some loud music or something?
|
||
Holly|I’m an atheist. Did you know that? I don’t know your religion. There are so many conversations that we haven’t even had yet.
|
||
Darryl|Hey, look, Pennsylvania license plate! That’s crazy! All the way out here! Who can name all the states?
|
||
-
|
||
Michael|[standing with Holly next to “Welcome to New Hampshire” sign] Oh, it’s really cold here.
|
||
Holly|Oh, it’s just later.
|
||
Michael|Yeah.
|
||
Darryl|[holding camera] Here we go.
|
||
Michael|[starts to cry] Can we have another? I think I blinked.
|
||
-
|
||
Holly|[unlocking front door] This is me here.
|
||
Michael|Oh, you have your own entrance. That’s nice.

Angela|He’s just trying to push your buttons.
|
||
Andy|I don’t care, so it doesn’t matter.
|
||
Angela|Great, then it doesn’t matter.
|
||
Andy|You don’t think he could get in, though….right? I mean, I don’t care, but I just don’t see how he could. I doubt he could get in.
|
||
Angela|[reverently] He is fiercely intelligent.
|
||
Andy|I don’t care either way, so….shut up.
|
||
Angela|He’s just….
|
||
-
|
||
Andy|[in parking lot on cell phone] Don’t tell me to calm down, Dad! [grunts] Don’t do that! Oh, God, of all people, I thought you would understand. You’re an alum. This guy, he’s….he’s poking the bear! [listens briefly] Yeah, okay, I’ll see you at Thanksgiving. Hi to Mom. Bye.
|
||
-
|
||
Angela|Why are you doing this to Andy?
|
||
Dwight|You once told me that Andy and I had different strengths. Well, he can’t do what I can do. I can get into Cornell, but he doesn’t know how to make food and shelter from a golden retriever.
|
||
Angela|[looks at Dwight disgustedly and sighs] Even if you do somehow get in, that’s not going to make me leave Andy.
|
||
Dwight|No, but it’ll make you respect him less.
|
||
Angela|[sighs] Yes, that’s true.
