"I feel like this big rhinoceros" "Anyway, I wanted to thank you guys for covering for me, so I made some treats" "I've got brownies and magic cookie bars" "Mm-mm-mm" "Angela, those brownies have walnuts in them and I think Kevin's allergic to walnuts." "You're allergic to walnuts right, Kevin?" "Extremely, but I'm going to fight through it" "It's okay, Angela." "I have mommy brain, too what that is, Pam special for you, Kevin." "Right here." "When did you find time to do all this?" "Babies sleep a lot, Pam if you feed them enough" "Brownie, Pam?" "Thank you" "Oh, my gosh It's really good" "I'm watching my weight" "Say, guys, you know what's an even more useful treat is cash." "So" "Nope." "It's over."

"Just" "(CHUCKLING)" "For a while there, I thought something would change, but nope." "Andy's still with Jessica" "They even carpool together most days." "I don't know." "I wouldn't mind carpooling every day with Andy, but I wouldn't want to spend that much time with Jessica" "What do we have here?" "Val knit me a beanie." "But I can't tell if it's a "We're just friends" beanie or a "I'm hot, you're hot, let's get it popping" beanie" "So I'm going to up the ante" "Give her a clearly romantic gift." "And we'll get to the meaning of the beanie." "Pam, pack up your post-natal swimwear make it a one piece or this offer is rescinded and join me for a fantastic barbeque one week from today in Tallahassee, Florida where I'm going to be living for the next three weeks."

"Sabre is footing the bill" "Does this have anything to do with what you were talking to Andy about?" "God, you're such a spy." "(CLEARING THROAT)" "Notice anything different about me?" "You're wearing the beanie." "You like it?" "Super comfortable Like sweatpants for my head." "It's really itchy uh, but to be fair, my head is constantly itching so I can't really peg it on the hat" "Wow." "It's like the Nation of Islam down here." "don't hate." "Who's that for?" "Oh." "This is a gift for my man Nate here." "What?" "Yeah" "Darryl, you shouldn't have" "Can I open it?" "No, no, no maybe just later" "Ah, I can't wait I'm sorry." "I'm too excited." "Darryl" "Wow."

"Does he think you're going to Florida?" "I hope not." "Because I am not going." "Two question marks?" "No, just do one." "Two question marks is kind of aggressive" "You know, it's like "Well, what?"" "Just do one" "You want to take Darryl Phyllis, Toby, Angela and Oscar?" "Yes" "Can I interest you in someone less essential?" "Like a Creed or a Meredith perhaps?" "Oh, my God They're not expendable exactly" "I can't think of the word I'm trying to find" "Are you kidding me?" "I'm supposed to get on an airplane with those nincompoops?" "We'd never make it off the runway" "All right, look, I got to keep this office functioning somehow so I have put together a list" "Here's your team" "Darryl and Phyllis you can have" "You're also taking Cathy Kelly and Kevin." "Oh, God." "You have your team" "Kevin?" "Kelly?" "Cathy?" "Andy just gave me a chain with three weak links" "Have you ever tried to use a chain with three weak links?" "I have" "And now I no longer own an Arctic Wolf" "Well, let's hear it" ""Robert, hey," exclamation point I like it so far" ""Got your text Awesome idea" ""Let's hit the links the next time you're in PA." "J.H.'" "It's perfect." "You emphasize the golf, completely omit the Florida" "Yeah, it's a golf text" "Total golf text." "Send it" "Done." "Wait, I just feel weird I should just call him" "You want to call someone that texted you?" "Do you want to drive them away?" "I mean" "(PHONE RINGING)" "This is Darryl" "DEEP VOICE:" "Sorry, I asked for the main shipment number." "I just need the address for the warehouse." "my girlfriend some flowers." "Your girlfriend?" "Is your girlfriend Val?" "Yeah." "Do you know her?" "We're friends We're friends" "Cool." "So can I get that address or..." "Yeah, yeah." "Sorry I'm just looking for a pen" "Why do you need a pen?" "Back off I got my reasons" "May I have your attention, please?" "Could Cathy, Phyllis, Darryl, Kevin and Kelly please join me in the conference room immediately?" "Why?" "No big deal" "It's just that you five have been deemed most deserving of a three-week all expenses paid business trip to Tallahassee, Florida" "Hell, yeah What?" "I'm sorry, Stanley." "I can't share any more details with you" "You see Andy rejected you" "MEREDITH:" "Wait Cathy gets to go?" "Why does she even still work here?" "Pam is back." "It just feels like a slap in the face" "I can understand your pain." "And your rage." "But you know what?" "Andy is an honorable man" "Let us not question his choices." "I'm sure he had his reasons." "We're not questioning his reasons." "I just want to know what they are" "I know." "You and me both, brother." "It seemed kind of random to me but he was pretty clear on who he thought truly deserved this boondoggle of a lifetime." "Well, he nailed it because I do deserve a vacation" "Sometimes Batman's got to take off his cape" "Good point." "But we're going to be working pretty hard until 5:00 p.m" "After that, it's going to be beach volleyball trips to Cape Canaveral and sea kayaking with Gloria Estefan" "What were the criteria for going?" "It might be innate goodness versus innate badness" "But there's an easy way to find out" "Oh, Andy, got a few questions for you" "Moshi moshi." "(LAUGHING)" "Uh, the Florida picks got out, and people were just kind of curious as to why they weren't picked, and maybe you could just clarify" "Uh." "Well, the deliberations were confidential, so I feel like we should respect that." "Respect it?" "You're trying to tell me" "Kevin Malone deserves more than Stanley Hudson?" "Hey Okay, it's obvious that Andy picked the people that are least important to the office." "Important?" "Because you and your enormous monster baby are so important to the branch?" "My baby is not a monster" "Hey, be proud of your enormous monster baby an enormous monster baby" "Guys!" "Guys!" "Guys" "Come on, seriously, we cannot let this trip cause this kind of rift, guys" "Stop calling us "guys"" "when I'm nervous, guys" "Guys, guys, guys." "Guys." "ALL:" "Stop it" "ALL:" "Stop!" "Stop it!" "Andy" "Dudes" "The dudes who are going to Florida were picked by Dwight and me" "Okay, hey, I specifically remember that there were a lot of other people I thought should be considered." "Uh." "If anybody's going to Florida, it should be me." "Every shirt that I have that isn't a work shirt is a Tommy Bahama." "I'm the only person in this office who watches Burn Notice." "Okay." "I did not realize that so many of you wanted to go so badly so if you feel like you have a very good reason to go to Florida," "I'm happy to hear you out." "Great idea" "So why doesn't everyone just take the next five to six hours come up with a statement on why you feel you deserve to go to Florida, and Andy and I will listen to it." "No, that is a ridiculous waste of time." "For you maybe" "Five to six hours?" "Three to four hours" "No, no, no, no." "No." "Just two to three hours" "Come up with a statement over the next hour." "Thirty minutes" "I'm out" "Okay, read it back to me" ""Robert, great offer." "Wish I could hit the links with you in Florida," ""but a father of a newborn really should be helping out his wife any chance he gets.'" "Good." "Doesn't sound pushy You're just stating a fact" "Absolutely Works for me" "Okay." "Sending." "(CELL PHONE WHOOSHING)" "Well done." "And we managed to kill the entire morning" "We really did (CELL PHONE CHIMING)" "He responded, "L.O.L.'" "(ERIN LAUGHING)" "I am already..." "DWIGHT:" "I already picked my team, Darryl, Oscar, Angela, Phyllis and Toby." "And that is the team that I am taking." "What's that?" "It's not up to me?" "I only have influence?" "Well, that's all Baltzer Glattfuelder had and now no one eats owls for Thanksgiving" "You have two young dynamic people in this office who know trends who know youth." "That's myself and Kelly Kapoor you need one of us there" "Or both?" "Not both." "Just one." "Me" "Or if not me, Kelly Ideally me" "Again, youth knowledge that's what you get when you put Ryan Howard on your special project team" "Or Kelly Kapoor." "Again, not both." "Thanks" "Very impressive" "He put a lot of work into that." "Mm-hmm" "PowerPoints are the peacocks of the business world" "All show, no meat" "Because I feel like that I am in a place with my gambling rehab that I can finally start going to dog racing again" "You know, just sitting watching, enjoying the sport" "Maybe putting down a few dollars if there's like a crazy mismatch or something" "Okay." "Thank you Kevin, we'll let you know." "Thank you." "When do we leave?" "Thank you" "It really has been a long, lonely winter" "Wow." "Seasonal affective disorder, a.k.a. SAD." "That sounds like a very real thing, Toby" "It is real." "Thank you for saying that" "Yeah, wow, it's almost like we're not all experiencing the same winter" "Florida Stanley smiles Florida Stanley is happy to go to work" "Florida Stanley is who you want on your Florida team" "(STIFLED LAUGHTER)" "It's still..." "Well ...she does here" "Hey, guys." "Any spots left?" "Erin, you want to go to Tallahassee?" "I think it would be a nice way to clear my head" "You know, I don't think it's a good idea for you to clear your head any more than it has been already a workplace where the burdens of everyday life keep you tethered to reality" "Either or" "But if you can find someone to fill in, I would love to go" "Well, it wouldn't be hard to find someone to fill in" "Really?" "Oh, great." "Good" "Now, is it too dark to say that Cece's having an operation?" "I think you need to go to Florida." "It's only for three weeks" "You know, with my mom and sister at the house, it'll be" "A total nightmare because I'll have all the help I need" "Yeah, that's what I'm saying They're incredibly helpful." "You're lucky to have them" "With them there, you probably won't even know I'm gone" "Exactly" "ANDY:" "Well" "No." "No!" "Absolutely not You are not going!" "Over my dead body, no." "Andy" "Toons, I'm really sorry" "You're too essential to the operation here I can't let you go." "I wouldn't say that That's a bit much" "You know, Dwight if you didn't want me to go the smart move would be to tell Andy that I actually am essential to the operation" "That way, I couldn't go" "Jim is essential Hold on." "I just want to get it on camera." "(CAMERA BEEPING ON)" "Andy, Jim is just too" "Essential" "This is stupid!" "Cut" "All right." "I'm going to pack my trunks" "He doesn't even want to go." "Well, I got a text from R.C." "inviting me to come down so I think that's going to make us roommates." "Oh, my God" "Hey, quick question, do you shower at night?" "Or do you shower in the morning?" "Because I want to shower when you're showering to save some water" "Okay, listen up, everyone Here's who's going to Florida" "Cathy What?" "Stanley." "No" "Ryan." "No" "Erin." "(BLEEPING)" "And Jim" "You got to be (BLEEP) kidding me." "Okay" "Okay" "Florida group, welcome to the team" "(SIGHING)" "(DWIGHT SCREAMING)" "Let's go" "Step it up, you runts." "You infants." "Let's move" "Why is it so hot in here?" "Hot?" "What are you talking about?" "This is a nice, temperate Florida morning" "Eighty-five degrees 73% humidity." "This is the exact environment that you will be facing for the next three weeks of your life." "Welcome to Special Projects orientation." "The next three weeks of your life are going to be the most miserable you've ever faced." "They're going to be hard They're going to be dirty" "You're going to wish you were dead" "But?" ""But?" There's no "buts.'" "That's it." "You'll wish you were dead." "You seem a little disturbed" "Do you want to stay here?" "No." "No." "I want to go." "Because if any of you would prefer to stay here all you need to do is ring this bell" "Is that the buzzer from Taboo?" "Shut up, maggot It is." "You don't want to go ring the be" "Ring it." "Ring it" "How many of you have seen the documentary Deliverance?" "How did a mosquito get in here?" "I released 300 mosquitoes into the conference room." "Just temporarily" "When I'm done, the frogs will take care of the mosquitoes." "(CROAKING)" "Yes." "And then he brushes your soft supple cheeks with his worn leathery hands and says" ""I'm going to make you the seventh Mrs. Rosenblat!" "'" "Unless you ring the bell." "Ring it" "No." "Ring the bell" "You want to spend the rest of your life changing your husband's colostomy bags?" "Huh?" "Do you?" "Ring it What?" "Ah." "(BUZZER RINGING)" "What was that?" "Mosquito" "(GROANING)" "Orientation's over" "Darryl, hey" "Hey, what's up?" "You called?" "Yeah, you know, I felt really terrible that you got me these lovely gloves, and I didn't get you anything" "It's cool, really" "No, it's anything but cool." "Now, I haven't really had time to go out and buy you anything, but here goes" ""This coupon entitles you to one free tickle monster attack."" "Yeah." "They're Nate coupons or Nate-pons And they're all different" "Cash that one in and I will bring you a stick of gum any time, any place I'll find you." "Thanks" "Nice flowers" "Thanks." "They're from my mom." "Your mom?" "Yeah" "Oh" "So I guess that was your mom who called me earlier looking for the address." "Real deep-voiced woman" "Yeah, that's her" "She said her name was Brandon, I think" "Your mom's name is Brandon?" "Yeah, Darryl." "My mom's name is Brandon" "out where I stand" "This is a love beanie" "(SIGHING)" "Okay, Florida team let's reconvene." "I'm going to Florida And I'm not coming back" "So Sabre has set up a conference room for our use while we're at corporate." "So what is this special project?" "Basically, Sabre has tasked us with helping them branch into the retail market place" "They want to set up their own version of an Apple store." "That sounds awesome" "It did." "It did" "You know what might be great?" "Is if instead of a genius bar, we have a lounge area where people can ask questions about the product with other customers who liked it" "Yeah, and they should have a place where people can check their computers or printers before they see you, so you don't have to carry it around like a dope" "Like a coat check" "Oh, don't write it down unless you like it" "Oh, I like it" "It seems to me that the Apple store is kind of like a party so I think our question is how do we make this a better party?" "No." "We sell business tools and the stores need to reflect that." "They need to be all business Let all the other stores look like a toy store." "Right." "Think different From Apple." "Dwight, is now a good time to go over what you expect of us?" "Yes" "What are my expectations for the group?" "I have been given the responsibility to manage Stanley, a solid player." "Ryan, who is capable of surprises." "Erin, an excellent follower." "And Cathy, a probably not totally useless enigma." "And, well, Jim." "Under the right manager that's not a bad team." "Perfektenschlag" "I'm going to live here without you" "Me neither." "Hey, will you put this coat on my chair?" "I just realized I'm not going to need it down there" "Yes, I will take your coat." "And I will keep it with me and I will sleep with it because it smells like you" "No, no, no, no, no." "Just put it on my chair" "All right Bye" "Bye." "Call me when you land I will."
