The Office

This is ridiculous.

Do you have any idea what time we'll get out of here?

- I don't know, Phyllis. I'm upset about it, too.

I had tickets to see Tom Petty.

Yeah, well Friday nights are the nights

that I pick out my outfits for Saturday nights.

Well, I had to give the tickets to my ex-wife

and her boyfriend.

Took a big loss. Not that anybody cares.

- There's a perception out there that working in the paper

industry is glamorous.

But here's what the media doesn't show you.

Sometimes we have to stay late on a Friday night.

Did I just blow your mind?

This sucks.

Nobody likes to work late.

Least of all me.

You have plans tonight?

- Nope, I don't. Remember when you told us

not to make plans because we were working?

Yes, I remember.

Mm, this is B.S. This is B.S. Why are we here?

I am going to call corporate.

Enough is enough.

I'm... God, I'm so mad!

This is Michael Scott, Scranton.

Well, we don't want to work.

No, we don't!

It's not fair to these people!

These people are my friends and I care about them!

We're not going to do it.

Everybody, I just got off the horn with corporate,

and basically I told them where they could

stick their little overtime assignment.

Where's that?

- Where the sun don't shine, Jim!

But we just ordered pizza.

So they just canceled it?

Yeah.

Did they say why?

- No. You never know with these clowns so...

So do we pick it up on Monday?

- You know what that's, that doesn't even matter.

Don't even worry about it. This is my gift to you.

Okay? Go enjoy your Friday.

Thank you, Michael.

Alright.

- Happy Friday. Well, I think we dodged a bullet there.

I think you did.

- I think we should celebrate. How about you, Pam,

mi casa, little dinner, dancing, drinks?

I-

- You said you didn't have plans.

That's what you said.

- Michael has asked Pam and me to dinner

at least nine times.

And every time, we've been able to get out of it.

But I got to give him credit.

He got me.

Because I'm starting to suspect that there was

no assignment from Corporate.

Michael.

Hm?

- What time should I be arriving?

Dwight, it's couples only.

And besides I only have six wine glasses.

So it will be me and Jan and Pam and Jim.

And Angela and Andy.

- Michael, it is really hard when you mess with

the schedule like that. I had tickets to see Tom Petty.

- Hmm. Well I'm sure the Heartbreakers will be heartbroken.

No one even heard me.

- Does it bother me that I wasn't invited

to Michael's dinner party?

- We can turn back. It's not too late.

We eat and we're out.

We have to wake up early tomorrow.

Yes, because it is Saturday.

Hi!

Hello!

How are you?

Come on in.

Good to see you.

Chilly, huh?

I'm so glad we finally got to do this with you guys.

This is great.

- You want to, you want to take their coats, babe?

Yes, I would.

Okay.

Alright, thank you.

So, what have you been doing?

- Let's see, since I saw you an hour ago?

Yeah.

- I have been getting ready and then driving over here so-

- Well, we've been doing pretty much the same thing.

Really?

Except driving.

- We got you this.

- Oh Pam, thank you! - Oh, Pinot. Thanks.

- This will be great to cook with.

Really?

- Well have a seat or come on in or I don't know,

make yourself to home. This is our casa.

Really nice.

So what do you guys think?

Should we do the tour first?

Should we have appetizers first?

Tour. Let's do the tour first.

Okay.

- You have a preference, babe? Upstairs first?

Totally your call, babe.

- Alright, well, let's go then. Let's sneak upstairs.

Oh.

- Oh, you guys doing a little construction?

- Oh, just redoing the sliding glass door.

- Yeah. So sorry about this God-awful carpet.

We are still a work in progress here.

Well, that's-

- Do you like living in Scranton, Jan?

- Well, you know, it's, it's an adjustment.

It's certainly not the Upper West Side.

- You really haven't given it a chance, though.

She's never been to the Anthracite Museum.

She hasn't had a hot dog at the new hot dog place.

- Oh well, babe, I'm pacing myself.

So-

Follow me.

- This is pictures of Jan wearing different masks.

Call that Mask Wall.

Jan and I are like one of the all-time great

romantic comedy couples.

Like "When Harry Met Sally".

I'm Harry and she is Sally.

Like "Annie Hall".

I am Woody Allen.

And she is Diane Keaton's character in "Annie Hall".

This is my office.

Yep, never been used.

Not super exciting.

No.

This is my workspace.

- This is it. Check that out. You smell that?

As you can smell, there's a lot of different odors

going on in here.

- So you have an office and a workspace?

- I do. You know, I just, I cannot create

in the same space that I conduct business.

I'm sure that you're the same with your doodles. Smell.

It's fire.

Uh-huh, Bond-fire.

Bond-

- Men love this one, yeah. - James Bond-fire.

I'm Bond-fire, James Bond-fire.

Michael Scott!

- When I get frustrated or irritated or angry,

I come up here and I just smell all my candles.

And it just, "Poof!" goes away.

Just like that.

Just like that.

- It's been a rough couple of weeks.

- Well. I just got into a little trouble

with the neighbors.

- (laughs) A little trouble. Yes.

Well, Jan fell asleep during her neighborhood watch shift.

- Wow, you do neighborhood watch?

Yes.

- I did. And I had a very late shift

and I had a little bit of wine and I fell asleep.

- So she passed out and some kids spray paint

a swear word on the neighbors' dog

and the neighbors blamed Jan.

- Yeah. But you know, it was my fault.

It's like, you know,

the dog shouldn't have been outside in the first place.

Anyway. It's a tragedy, really,

because the paint is not going to come off the dog until it

sheds, so-

Mm-hm, yeah.

- These are going to be party favors later.

Get them as you go out.

When we're done,

- Oh we'll have a whole box of them.

Close that so we don't have to smell it.

- So this is the master bedroom and these walls,

they used to be like white, like an asylum.

So I wanted it to be softer.

So I had it painted an eggshell white.

- Guess what? White and eggshell white are exactly

the same color.

- (laughs) Exactly. - Babe.

I thought you said you you were going to tidy things up.

Well, I-

Shame on you. (laughs)

What a cute bench.

- Thanks. That's my bed.

Jan has some space issues, so I curl up on that puppy.

- Really? Because it seems pretty narrow.

And short.

- It's actually a lot bigger than it seems.

Look at this (grunts).
