The Office 8x11

1. Oh, yeah.

2. - Aw! - Knew it! Knew it!

3. As soon as I heard that wrapper.

4. You really have to say "oh yeah,"

5. every time you eat a candy bar?

6. I can't help it, Oscar.

7. It's just really good.

8. Oh, yeah.

9. All right, not bad at all.

10. I think we can beat 20 minutes though.

11. So let's try again. Get it all out now if you have to.

12. It was a raccoon eating a hamburger like a person!

13. You need to stop banging your pen on your desk,

14. or it's going to drive me insane.

15. Okay, got it.

16. Does anyone have a first aid kit?

17. Check out this song I wrote,

18. I find it hard to believe that no one here...

19. Everybody get ready in three...

20. Two, good luck, one...

21. Love letters, yes!

22. I love it.

23. What else can be done with paper?

24. You can write a book about chairs.

25. Books! Excellent, Jim.

26. Andy, please!

27. Please, just stop. You can do infinite things with paper—

28. So we...

29. Shh! Did you hear that?

30. Infinity!

31. There is an infinity of things that you can do with paper!

32. Now, who wants to buy some paper?

33. Yeah!

34. Very nice. Very nice sales pitch

35. for our clients that don't know what paper is.

36. I'm talking about you guys!

37. Who, in this room, right now,

38. wants to buy some paper?

39. Yes!

40. Robert said that we needed to double our sales growth

41. to 8% by the end of the quarter.

42. That's today. And we are $830 short.

43. And I can't afford to keep buying paper from us.

44. So, today, we need to sell $830 of paper,

45. and, the next quarter, I need to sell the $2,200 of paper

46. that's in my garage.

47. Animals, machines, vast virtual armies.

48. All of these things I have successfully managed.

49. The only thing I haven't managed,

50. is people.

51. I saw in an ad on the Sabre website

52. for an open manager position in their printers division.

53. I spoke to Robert California about it,

54. and he said for me to come by and see him sometime.

55. So, like a Spanish conquistador,

56. I have come to Florida to claim what is rightfully mine.

57. Dwight Schrute for Robert California!

58. Hello, Mr. Schrute.

59. I'll tell him you're here. Can I get you anything at all?

60. I'm not here to be given anything.

61. I'm here to take what is mine.

62. Ooh. I'm glad you're on our team.

63. Here, please, have a seat.

64. Dwight?

65. What are you doing here?

66. Gabe?

67. You don't know?

68. Course I know.

69. Hmm. Impressive office you have here.

70. Surrounded by shrubbery,

71. like a squirrel's office.

72. Corporate says to me,

73. "Gabe, we need you in Scranton."

74. Scranton says, "Gabe, go back down to Florida.

75. You're needed there."

76. So, Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm up there.

77. Mondays, wednesdays, and Fridays, I'm down here.

78. I can think of no better way

79. to confront my deathly fear of flying.

80. - Dwight. - Robert.

81. - You made it. - Yes.

82. Impressive initiative. I don't know what's worse,

83. the trip or the destination.

84. Well, uh...

85. Let me settle in,

86. and I'll be with you shortly.

87. Very good.

88. - Hey, C-SPAN.

89. So my dad says an accountant can really help you out,

90. if they're willing to "play ball."

91. Those were his words.

92. Gosh, Andy, you had a great quarter.

93. Okay? Robert will understand.

94. $800 is, uh, a rounding error.

95. So make that error!

96. - Andy, no— - Hey!

97. I can make that error.

98. Well, it's just, I know that making errors

99. sounds like your kind of thing,

100. but it's a little more complicated than that.

101. - No, I— - I just,

102. I really need a real accountant on this.

103. What do you say?

104. I'm leaving early today because tonight,

105. I have a trivia contest in Philadelphia.

106. Oh.

107. Any other crunch time, I would love to stay in,

108. cook the books for you, so you can save face

109. in front of your ceo, but tonight

110. is Triviocalypse!

111. What?

112. It's only the biggest night of trivia of the year.

113. There's a $1,000 prize.

114. I'm committed to my friends, they're committed to me.

115. You know what? Go. Have fun.

116. There's a trivia contest at a bar in Philadelphia.

117. - Stop right there. I love it. - I'm in.

118. I didn't even say what it is.

119. - It's trivia. - In Philadelphia.

120. But here's the best part. The prize is $1,000,

121. and, if we win, we can use that money to buy paper here,

122. close the gap on our 8% profit increase...

123. - That's a good idea. - That's a great plan.

124. - Yeah? You like it? - Yeah.

125. - All right. - All right, good stuff.

126. I'm so psyched you guys are into it because I thought,

127. I was like, "this sounds really stupid."

128. You just made a good idea a great idea.

129. There is one problem with this plan.

130. What?

131. We'd have to leave work, like, right now,

132. to do this.

133. You can reduce your prices by 10%,

134. or we're going to be finding a new source

135. for our morning bagels.

136. All right.

137. Gabe, I always wondered what it is you do around here.

138. Now I found out. You're the bagel guy.

139. Yeah, but not just bagels. All unwanted problems.

140. Question, what's the most important appliance

141. in your house?

142. - Meat grinder. - Too slow.

143. It's the toilet.

144. And, I am the toilet of this office.

145. I flush away annoying problems

146. so others can keep their hands clean,

147. and, just like a toilet, I am essential.

148. You know, Gabe? You could have gone with garbage disposal,

149. incinerator, or eraser, and instead,

150. you chose toilet. God bless you.

151. You're an American classic.

152. Dwight.

153. Today is not my day at all, I'm afraid,

154. I'm not going to be able to meet with you,

155. but I'm leaving you in the very capable hands of our COO.

156. But I can give you this pitch in one minute.

157. No, he's going to meet with you later. No, no, no.

158. I, I don't want you to rush it, okay?

159. Trust me. Meet with Bill. He's a great person to know.

160. I'll dialogue with him tonight.

161. CEO to COO, what a difference a letter makes.

162. Still an important position. Still a chief.

163. You're really going to like Bill.

164. He, uh, he has me toilet a lot of people for him.

165. Hallway phone, Gabe Lewis speaking.

166. Gabe, listen to me. Don't bother Bill with this.

167. He has to go put out a fire on the home front.

168. Just wait 20 minutes, and then

169. I want you to listen to Dwight's pitch.

170. Make him feel valued, make him feel heard.

171. - Your wish is my command. - It's a command.

172. I don't believe this.

173. What are you doing here, Andy?

174. You left us no choice,

175. but, this should put a smile on your face.

176. How would you like to be captain of the Dunder-Mifflin team?

177. Although I reserve the right to overrule you.

178. What? No!

179. I've got a quota to hit. I don't care how I hit it.

180. And you guys thought this was a good idea?

181. I thought it was a fun idea.

182. There were times on the 21/2 hour drive

183. when I experienced doubt.

184. That's the thing about long drives,

185. you know, you're always going to— this is a gay bar.

186. Wait, what?

187. - Everyone in here is gay? - Yes! It's a gay bar!

188. So you guys want to go home now?

189. Nah.

190. What does this say about you?

191. That you followed me here?

192. That you think you're going to win your sales quota?

193. At a gay bar's trivia night?

194. It says that I believe in my staff's intelligence,

195. and that I'm willing to try anything.

196. Not anything.

197. Good luck.

198. Uh, all right we need to divide up into teams,

199. but it's winner-take-all, so no need to divide evenly.

200. We need an A-team, a backup team,

201. and a just-have-fun team.

202. So, you guys all know yourselves.

203. Good-timers follow me.

204. Backups.

205. Go on, kid. You know you don't belong here.

206. A-team.

207. - Okay. - All right, everybody.

208. Nice self-awareness.

209. Except...

210. - Okay. - There's a table over here.

211. All right, first question everyone,

212. Ray Charles famously had this state on his mind.

213. What is its capital?

214. Oh, we got this!

215. Let's reverse engineer this. You're a black singer,

216. where do you go? Somewhere where you're a novelty.

217. - Alaska? - Atlanta.

218. Oh, I know you think that,

219. because that's where the Olympics were held.

220. My cousins were actually at those Olympics.

221. Keep talking all you want.

222. How am I supposed to know what was on his mind?

223. Oh, what do blind people think about?

224. Okay, dogs, canes, signs, manholes, stairs,

225. piano, darkness.

226. Okay, time's up. Let's get the boards up.

227. "Atlanta, Georgia" is the correct answer.

228. Hey, man, uh, look. Unfortunately,

229. Bill had to go fight a fire, so, your appointment got...

230. There're no fires within eight miles of here.

231. Well, it's nine miles away.

232. I'm going to be meeting with you on his behalf.

233. What? No, no. Excuse me!

234. Lady! Get anyone from the COO's office on the phone

235. this instant!

236. This must be very frustrating.

237. I can see you in the jungle now.

238. Hey now, you're not an All-Star of the NBA,

239. but you did get your game on when you won

240. the NBA's sixth man of the year award in 2011.

241. Who are you?

242. Jim, Darryl. Your time to shine.

243. - Shawn Marion. - Yes, Shawn Marion.

244. That doesn't sound right. I want to say,

245. Ladameon Washington.

246. Wrong, for so many reasons.

247. Well, I know Elizabeth Taylor's sixth man

248. was Richard Burton. Is that helpful?

249. That's it, I'm going to go watch the boats on the river.

250. - Ron Artest, Kelly. - No, it's Lamar Odom.

251. If it'd been Ron Artest, it would have come up

252. in Dancing With The Stars, when they pan over

253. his trophy case when he's at home with his family.

254. Lamar winning sixth man was a big storyline

255. on Chloe And Lamar.

256. All right, boards up. Let's see who got it.

257. "Lamar Odom" is what we were looking for.

258. "Lamar Odom." Thank you.

259. Lamar Odom, yes.

260. You're my sports guys! You're ESPN, you're ESPN classic.

261. Ryan is MSNBC.I'm E! TLC, and Oxygen.

262. Chill, man. This plan is airtight.

263. So it's a very simple argument of why

264. I should be put in charge of southeast printer sales.

265. Nobody has sold more printers in the northeast than me.

266. Bottom line, I know the product. I get it!

267. Well, you got my vote.

268. - Oh, my God. - I know.

269. Most of all, I believe that character is destiny.

270. And my character is one that— Wait, why are you smiling?

271. - What? - What's with the smile?

272. You're doing great. You know, so good.

273. And my character is one that will never give up

274. until greatness is on the horizon, behind us.

275. Dwight? That was a fantastic presentation.

276. Put your hand on my hand.

277. Flush!

278. Ow! Take me to Robert.

279. - Ow! He went home. - Take me to his house.

280. Uh, it's a condo and it's long-term business housing.

281. You know where it is. Lead me there.

282. Ow! Ow! Stephanie, help!

283. Listen, you're a perfectly fine toilet.

284. I'm just an extraordinary piece of crap.

285. Let's go.

286. Excuse me, sir, on the Dunder-Mifflin A-team?

287. Excuse me, sir?

288. I'm sure you're just checking your Grindr account.

289. But,

290. you can't check smart phones during trivia,

291. it's against the rules.

292. Okay, I'm turning it off.

293. Okay, you're not turning it off.

294. I, I won't look at it.

295. - Sir? - I can't—

296. I can't not... touch it.

297. Okay, then we're going to have to take it away.

298. Thank you.

299. Look I can't, I can't not have my phone. I'm sorry.

300. I want to be with my phone.

301. All right, guys. After nine rounds, let's check the scores.

302. In first place, with nine points, it's Aesop's Foibles.

303. The Queerenstein Bears have seven points.

304. Dunder-Mifflin A-team has four points.

305. - All right. - D.M. Backup team has 3 points.

306. The Einsteins have eight points.

307. Ladies Gaga have five points.

308. So, the best chance of hitting our mark is now in the hands,

309. and brains, of Kevin, Meredith, Erin, and Kelly.

310. Do I like these odds?

311. My answer is no.

312. - Which one is it? - I don't know!

313. All I know is the building.

314. Robert!

315. Robert California! Robert!

316. Dwight!

317. How nice of Gabe to show you where I live.

318. Come around. 102.

319. All right guys, time's up.

320. Who was the relatively unknown patent clerk

321. who discovered that energy equals mass times

322. the speed of light squared?

323. Looks like everyone gets a point for Albert Einstein.

324. Oh, wait. Except for the Einsteins. That's all right.

325. The top three teams are going to finish it off in the speed round

326. so, let's get everyone some bells.

327. In third place we have the Einsteins.

328. - Oh, yeah! - What?

329. In second place, we have the Queerenstein Bears.

330. Whoo! Let's go!

331. And, in first place, is Aesop's Foibles.

332. Whoo!

333. We're going to get clobbered.

334. Ring it in when you know it. First question,

335. this man had a fatwa declared on him, when—

336. Einsteins?

337. - What? - What is it?

338. - What? - I did my part, babe.

339. I'm just the bell girl.

340. Aesop's?

341. Salman Rushdie.

342. Salman Rushdie is correct.

343. Heading out to sea, sailors.

344. On a square-rigged ship, the sail set furthest forward

345. is called what?

346. Princess ding-dong, do not hit

347. - that bell unless— - Flying jib.

348. Flying jib is correct for the Einsteins.

349. Shalom.

350. Give us just a minute.

351. Stu and I are just finishing up our lesson.

352. Trust me. One nine-minute bout is a cardiovascular equivalent

353. of running uphill for three hours.

354. I could go to this gym three times a week,

355. or I can wrestle Stu once a month.

356. Grab my knee!

357. Yay, Robert!

358. Guys, please help yourself to some drinks from the fridge.

359. According to a recent survey,

360. this is the most common learning disability

361. among American adolescents.

362. - Boom! ADHD. - No.

363. Wrong. The answer is dyslexia!

364. That's correct for the Einsteins.

365. Whoo! Yeah! Go Einsteins!

366. Dial it back, this isn't tail feathers, okay?

367. They haven't really improved on the Oreo, have they?

368. No, thank you.

369. Sit down, Dwight.

370. Let me tell you why I should be the next manager

371. with a riddle...

372. A manager, a salesman, a leader,

373. and a warrior walk into a restaurant.

374. The hostess says, "table for one?"

375. How is this possible?

376. You were dining alone? All those people are you?

377. Yes, exactly. Riddle number two...

378. - Who is going— - Your drive,

379. your ambition. It would be wasted on a manager's job,

380. and Florida, you don't want to live here.

381. Even I don't want to live here.

382. That's why I'm always at my place in Scranton.

383. Florida is America's basement... It's wet, it's filled with mold,

384. strange insects, alligators.

385. Alligators are dinosaurs, Dwight.

386. You know that, right?

387. N... it's complicated.

388. This medal was my grandfather's.

389. He received it for acts of courage. For excellence.

390. It's a tribute one man gives another.

391. I could give you a job, Dwight. Why not let me give you

392. something even better?

393. It's a job interview, not a flea market.

394. Dwight, the job is not right for you.

395. Now, when something comes along that is right for you,

396. I'll try you out.

397. Now get the hell out of my place.

398. Yes.

399. Final round. Last two teams squaring off.

400. I hope you're ready to play doctor.

401. Our question is about the health and the human body.

402. Oh, come on!

403. The standard American analog scale has a maximum capacity

404. of what weight?

405. 300 pounds!

406. Point for the Einsteins!

407. Here's your final question.

408. Cinephiles, put on your memory berets...

409. This 2001 masterpiece, from Gilles Paquet-Brenner,

410. explores the intricate dynamics of a family in disarray.

411. It's the film Le Scaphandre Et Le Papillon.

412. I'm sorry, no. Over to the Einsteins.

413. Les Jolies Choses.

414. - Are you sure? - Marion Cotillard

415. exposes herself a number of times in that film.

416. The Einsteins win it.

417. No! Come on!

418. Look, I know it's easy to say tonight was just a fluke,

419. and maybe it was, but here's a piece of trivia...

420. A fluke is one of the most common fish in the sea.

421. So, if you go fishing for a fluke, chances are,

422. you just might catch one.

423. It's good for our bottom line if you keep watching the office.

424. There is more coming up next.

425. Welcome to Stonewall Alliance trivia championships!

426. First prize is $2,500 dollars!

427. Let's just do our thing, collect our hardware

428. and get the hell home.

429. - Riboflavin. - Riboflavin?

430. Michigan.

431. The President of the United States is...

432. POTUS.

433. John Steinbeck wrote The Grapes Of Wrath.
