I loved Pam’s enthusiastic “That’s what she said” response to “Get out of my nook.” Was this a TWSS that the writers have been trying to work in for awhile, or did you come up with that one specifically for this episode? Thanks Lester!
I was very confused about whether Jim is buying his parents a house or if he is buying his parent’s house for him and Pam?
The official pictures from this episode show Dwight and Phyllis talking about a newspaper. What happened in that scene?
I’ve noticed that in this season, the show is more about drama and plot development than it used to be. More time within each episode is spent on conflicts, and less one liners. Why the dynamic change?
Thanks so much for your time!
Loved the episode!!! Michael displayed admirable restraint and normalcy this episode. I really like professional Michael. Is this Holly’s influence or will he return to his obnoxious antics next week?
Who is the person Dwight is selling paper to? The man that Dwight tells to shut up and he says sadly “I need paper…” It sounded kind of like Paul Lieberstein.
Hey Lester!
This was such a great episode, I enjoyed it so much.
I loved the Bluetooth idea and I was just wondering, did Jenna and John actually speak to each other the whole time or did they just have cues in the script as to when to say their lines to each other?
I thought the line “I was raped!” was hilarious! Funniest Kelly line ever. Did you come up with that?
What Pam’s new friend said to her about chasing her dreams and staying in NYC had the same vibe as what Jim said to Pam in the “Boys and Girls” episode of season 2. Was this on purpose?
First, kudos for such a “classic” episode of The Office. I agree with some previous readers that this took us back to earlier seasons and it was refreshing.
My question is this:
When Dwight and Jim went running back to Kelly’s nook, was Kelly really putting on makeup or was she looking in the mirror to see over her shoulder to see if anyone was coming? Am I correct in sensing that Kelly’s “smart” side came through in this episode?
Thanks!
Was Michael invited to Kelly’s party?
Does Alex want Pam to stay in NY for the reasons he gave her? Or does he have ulterior motives, such as romantic feelings for her?
Hi
here are my questions:
What was the thought process behind Michael explaining his engagement/breakup with Holly? I also noticed that it seemed as if people in the office are more excited about Michael getting engaged than when Angela/Andy and Jim/Pam got engaged, is there a reason why?
Edit: OOPS! I meant to say America’s Got Talent not American Idol.
I was wondering why Angela would have gone to Kelly’s American Idol party?
I thought that Angela always hated Kelly. Like when she thought she was going to be in charge of the women in the office, Kelly would be the first person she would get rid of. In the words of Angela herself, “Goodbye Kelly Kapoor.”
This was such a wonderful episode! Thanks so much!
I can’t stop laughing at Dwight’s line, “You juked the stats, cupcake!” as well as, “Jim is smudge and arrogant,” Bill Buttlicker, etc. Throughout the normal course of the day, (you know, at the gym, at a coffee stand, walking the dog, as you’re falling asleep, etc.) do these kinds of lines just pop into your head? Or do they mostly come out when you’re really getting into the character and writing his/her lines?
The bluetooth device Jim and Pam were using, is it real?
And if so where can I find one :)
I’ve noticed that different characters on the show seem to have different relationships with the documentary crew. The characters who are very comfortable with the camera crew tend to reveal much more, like when Jim showed the cameras Pam’s engagement ring before he proposed.
My question is, does the camera crew look down on Andy more than the other characters? Dwight and Angela look like they’re plotting something behind Andy’s back, and the camera crew is in on it. Do they think the situation is funny? Do they prefer Dwight to Andy? Did they take sides?
Who came up with the idea to put Pam and Jim on those bluetooth phones? It was an innovative way to include Pam in the Dunder Mifflin drama without actually having her in Scranton.
Why was there so little Steve Carrell? Was it because last week’s ep was so Michael/Holly-centric?
The rape line that Kelly says is pretty daring, and pretty funny. That wasn’t really a question, but that was a great example of humor that’s edgy but not going over the edge.
So now are the Michael/Kelly shippers going to show their faces? Are there going to be more mysteries to solve at Dunder Mifflin? And where’s Jan and her baby? Is Michael going to be a part of their lives at all?
did jim and pam keep their bluetooths on when they went to the bathroom?
why did kelly invite ryan to her party?
is alex in love with pam?
how did mindy feel about doing so much acting in this episode. she did a great job!
