I love this third one! Now that feels like a real married couple.
I couldn’t make out the lines that angered Pam in the 3rd scene. What did Jim say? It sounded like “the delivery wasn’t so bad” and something else I couldn’t hear?
I have no idea what’s strapped into the back of the car…it might be part of the stroller?
Liked how they were typical new parents, and Pam’s feistiness was hysterical…
Jim was being obnoxious(and Pam was testy), but that’s what made it so funny to me. I don’t blame Pam for being angry, but I can’t fault Jim too much either. He wouldn’t be the first husband to stick his foot in his mouth.
I love how worn out Pam looks in all these scenes — kudos to the makeup and costume folks. They got it just right.
Hated the third deleted scene, Jim was obnoxious, if this is the future Jim & Pam I’m outta here.
I thought the idea of Pam telling Jim off was funny exactly because it was out character – that’s the point. It’s funny because 17 hours of labour can turn even the nicest person into a barracuda.
Love these deleted scenes! I can absolutely relate to Pam’s crankiness. The sleep deprivation involved in giving birth, and the week leading up to it, is really brutal and Jim’s comments weren’t helpful, but typical for The Office. I thought the conversation with the nurse was dead-on accurate. You just want someone to tell you what to do at that point! Please, just tell me what’s best! The whole “well, it’s your choice, we won’t tell you what to do” is infuriating when you are desperate to do the right thing for this amazing new life which is now your responsibility. Great job writers! Loved it.
I know this is comedy, but honestly, every new parent knows that getting the car seat installed is a big one on the “ready for baby” check-off list. I had a hard time laughing at this because for intelligent people like Pam and Jim, it seemed a little implausible that Jim would be so clueless about this.
Oh, no, they were definitely not out of character — as anyone who has gone through a long labor can tell you, especially if it’s your first child, you are exhausted, stressed, filled with worry that you’re not doing things right, you have no idea how to swaddle a baby who refuses to be swaddled, and you are not only sleep-deprived but emotionally drained. And the hospital staff usually treats you exactly like the nurse — they are there to do their jobs, not teach you how to be parents, even though you think they are there to teach you how to parent.
I think this third scene was particularly on point — and I’m generally a very nice person and I love my husband dearly, but I treated him worse in those first few days after having a baby than during labor!
It’s a bold move for a husband to say in front of his wife that the labor “wasn’t too bad.” Is bold the right word?
Jim and Pam VERY realistic after 19 hours of labour. VERY.
I agree with Claire, it’s not always sweet after they’re in labor for that long.
I loved how Jim just unswaddled the baby after the nurse leaves!
yeah… never mess with a woman who has just given birth.
and yes jim, that car seat does come with a stroller. it’s the graco quattro tour travel system – nouvelle pattern. that bottom part is the base. it stays in the car. the car seat goes in the base, and can also in the stroller.
i work at babies r us. :oD
I don’t think Jim or Pam were out of character. We haven’t seen Pam go through labour before, now we know how she reacts in that situation. I really wouldn’t expect her to be all cherry and sweet after 19 hours of labour. Her reactions didn’t seem too crazy out there. I wouldn’t call Jim mean either – he was just joking around. I loved the scenes! The baby is too cute for words! Bring on more deleted scenes please!
I. Love. That. Nurse!
“Well that’s what we do in the hospital.”
Great deleted scenes. Creed’s moment was hilarious.
I think Jim/Pam were “mean” to each other because they were exhausted and cranky. Since Pam was obviously in pain, I can’t blame her for losing her patience with Jim. He kind of asked for it.
I was greatly amused by the third deleted scene. Jim rocking his brand new baby. Can’t beat that. Some Jim/Pam snark, come on, that was amusing after all they had been through (19 hours of labor plus however long they were up before that). Their inability to swaddle, then Jim undoing the swaddling. That teeny, tiny baby. Guh. And then the broad humor at the end with the car seat. I didn’t necessarily need to see any of those scenes in the episode,but I did need to see them as deleted scenes. Thanks NBC!
I am really glad they cut out the first part of the third deleted scene. Since when are Jim and Pam so mean to each other? Even if Jim was just kidding and Pam had just given birth, I don’t think they would act like that. But the rest of the scenes were sooo funny, with the carseat and the swaddle.
I feel like that was totally not Jim, either. I personally feel he was uncharacteristically mean in that scene. She was in pain.
