   The elevator black and white shot reminded me of many scenes from The Wire. Considering that much of the writing staff are fans of The Wire, what is it like working with Amy Ryan, especially seeing her in a non-serious role?

   Dwight was nice but also super nasty to Phyllis during this episode. Did Bob Vance kick Dwights A$$ when he saw Phyllis’ tires?

   Charlie- Were you a big fan of The Office before writing for it?

   Ryan tried to hide when David Wallace arrived, and we all understand why. However, does Wallace know that Michael has hired Ryan again?

   Charlie, congrats for writing one of the best episodes ever! And by ever I mean all 5 seasons of the Office.

   Also, Is Kelly wearing a red pant suit and a sparkly hat and if so, why?

   Whose idea was it to have David Wallace come to the auction? Yours or a different writer?

   Regarding #76:

   Joseph, if you are referring to Michael’s relationship with Jan, this was disclosed. There is a scene in “Cocktails” where Jan has Michael to sign it and he refers to it as a “love document.”

    Not exactly related to this episode, but I’m confused on the time line for Pam being at art school. I guess I assumed she went at the beginning of the summer. Did she go in August, and will then be coming back in November?

    A related question. Were the writers trying to suggest there’s trouble in JAM land with the voice mail Pam left for Jim? Is their relationship just as strong as ever, or is it on the rocks?

    Do we ever find out who robbed Dunder Mifflin? And any hints as to whether it was someone we might know who has a score to settle or whether it was just a random crime?

    Are there any other meanings of Roy’s “I thought you were a friend” instead of an attempt to make Jim jealous or suspicious? Could it have been surprise to learn that Jim and Pam were a couple?

    In season 2 Angela is insulted when Pam hand delivers her a save-the-date. Why is she allowing Andy to hand them out to coworkers for her own wedding?

    Great episode! I noticed that Jen Celotta directed for the first time. Was there anything in particular that she did with your script that surprised you or enhanced any of the fantastically written scenes/lines?

    Not an episode-specific question. Has the lack of Pam while she is at Pratt been to take advantage of the time the fantastic Amy Ryan is available, a writers’ decision that filming at Pratt would not be acceptable or some other reason?

    A lot of LOL moments for me, thanks. By the way, why “Vitamin World” for Roy?

    Jennifer Ann Burton is listed in the credits of this episode. Any relation to Ursula Burton? No?

    The man who was on a date at Benihana in “A Benihana Christmas” appeared in this episode. Did he appear as Scranton local at the auction, or at the Bar with Jim and Darryl? Played by Stephen Saux.

    Not sure if mentioned, but was it your idea to bring back Roy, or was there talk of bringing him back and then writing around that?

    Why is Hank’s last name “Tate” in Season 2, but “Doyle” in this episode? Sorry for being nitpicky.
