Michael Acts Like “Baby” for Office Staff
Hannah (Breast Pump Lady) is holding her baby by her desk. Pam approaches.
Pam: Oh, she’s absolutely adorable!
Hannah: He.
Pam: Oh, sorry. He’s — he’s dressed all in pink.
Hannah: That’s his favorite color.
Pam: Oh. That’s fun for him.
Stanley walks by and mutters something I can’t understand. Michael approaches.
Michael: Oh, wow, look at that! How cute!
Hannah: Thank you.
Michael: Oh, may I?
Hannah (smiling): Oh, sure.
Michael walks past the baby and gets under Hannah’s desk.
Michael (entertainer voice): Hey, look at me, I’m a baby! I’m one of those babies from Look Who’s Talking. What am I thinking? (laughs) Look at all those staplers! What’s a stapler? I don’t even know, I’m a baby!
Pam, Phyllis, and Martin walk away in disgust.
Michael (continued): Hey, Mom, I’m thirsty! I’m thirsty, Mama! I want some milk.
Hannah walks away.
Michael (continued): And you know where milk comes from! Breasts. (laughs)
Michael Gets Some Bad News
Angela, Kevin, Pam, and Michael are in the conference room on speaker phone with Jan.
Angela: We have a rebate from the Federal Work Opportunity Program and no one knows what that means.
Jan: We get that money for hiring an ex-convict.
Michael: I didn’t hire an ex-convict. Unless they mean Toby.
Andy Asks Jim to Rate “Office” Ladies
Andy calls Jim from his desk by Angela. Jim answers.
Jim: Jim Halpert.
Andy: I am so horny.
Jim turns and looks at Andy.
Jim: Okay, I can’t help you with that.
Andy: Oh, I think you can, Big Tuna. Tell me about that Indian chick, Kelly. She seems pretty slutty. Good for a romp in the sack.
Jim (without looking at Kelly): She is dating Ryan, I think.
Andy: Oh, and I care why?
Jim: She’s high-maintenance.
Andy: Next. How about … (tilts his head toward Angela and mouths her name) Blondes are more fun. C’mon, trust me on that.
Jim (without looking at Angela): Yeah, trust me, that would be fun for no one.
Andy: Okay, fine.
Jim: Okay.
Andy: Pam, the receptionist. Pam. Should I go for it?
Jim turns in his chair and looks at Pam. Pam notices and smiles at him. Jim turns back around with a tight smile on his face and the clip abruptly ends.
Dwight Not a Fan of Ex-Cons
Michael and Dwight are talking in the hallway right outside the office’s interior front door.
Michael: Try to be cool.
Dwight: I am cool.
Michael: Okay, are you cool, really?
Dwight: I’m cool, I’m cool, I’m so cool. Tell me what is going on.
Michael lets out a breath.
Michael (slowly): Um … Martin from Stamford was at one time in prison.
Dwight pauses, then lunges into the office. Michael pulls him back.
Michael: No, Dwight! Be cool.
Dwight (talking head in the hallway): I am greatly concerned about having a convict in the office. And I do not care if that convict is white, black, Asian, German, or some kind of halfsy. I do not like criminals.
Dwight walks to the shelves by Martin’s desk with dollar bills prominently hanging out of his left back pocket. He bends down with his rear to him pretending to look at a binder from a lower shelf while Martin looks on, confused.
Meredith, I often feel the same way when after I’ve watched the clips (like I’ve seen the whole show), but then I’m delightfully surprised that there are so many scenes that show up in the episode that aren’t made into clips!
Yahoo shows us enough so that we can get a feel of what’s going to happen, but not so much that we’re completely spoiled.
63 | Shannon Thu. Nov. 30, 2006 at 11:37amMan, I think this is gonna be a good one. I’ve watched a few episodes of the British version, and it’s too bad they can’t have an extended version of the Gervais-Merchant episode. It sucks how short the show seems. These previews make me feel like I’ve already seen the entire episode! I can’t wait until tonight!
62 | Meredith Thu. Nov. 30, 2006 at 9:52amIt cracks me up that Andy actually believes that Pam likes hunting! Umm … yeah right!! I love Andy, but I swear, he is such a doofus!!
61 | Shannon Thu. Nov. 30, 2006 at 8:44amI didn’t think there was anything else like that in the world. That man is creeped out. I dont like how he resembles a turtle out of its shell, only for some reason he’s wearing a suit and dancing. That’s just wrong.
60 | Angie Thu. Nov. 30, 2006 at 8:15amHe’s certainly the one I’m thinking of (and the only one I know of), Angie.
59 | Shannon Thu. Nov. 30, 2006 at 6:27amAside from feeling as though I’ve seen the whole shebang for this week and have little to anticipate (but that’s what “spoilers” are about I guess), the “Jim sabotages Andy” clip was great. Ditto the clip of Martin in the break room telling the gang about prison…
58 | rachel (2) Thu. Nov. 30, 2006 at 2:01amMaldoror, I agree; that Gervais-Merchant wit rises to the top in this one.
Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but is this not the same six flags old guy that Jim speaks of?
57 | Angie Wed. Nov. 29, 2006 at 11:40pmA. I love Jim
B. How random of a thing to hate such as “frisbee based competition”
C. I can understand the hate of six flags comms. I once had it out for the Olive Garden, if your Italian grandfather comes from Italin why the eff would you take him to the Olive Garden, you people are killing me.
4. I’m still swooning from Jim’s smile.
That is all.
56 | Angie Wed. Nov. 29, 2006 at 11:28pmgrrr…can’t see anything! Gotta go to bed soon…::sigh::
55 | Brandy Wed. Nov. 29, 2006 at 11:10pm“Also, do you speak pig latin?” My love for Pam increases! She hates what I hate!
54 | AAL Wed. Nov. 29, 2006 at 10:12pmJust to let all of you know there are two more clips posted now for tomorrow night’s episode.
53 | Shannon Wed. Nov. 29, 2006 at 7:46pmI love the first one when Martin is telling his prison stories. “I would so rather be in prison!”
52 | Allie Wed. Nov. 29, 2006 at 7:16pmI still cant see anything!!!!!!! Says I cant see it right now.
any suggestions????
thanks :)
51 | Deanna Wed. Nov. 29, 2006 at 7:33amTHANKS LAUREN! You are awesome blossum.
50 | dlo Tue. Nov. 28, 2006 at 6:43pmLauren,
49 | Tammi Tue. Nov. 28, 2006 at 5:31pmThanks for your link. It worked with IE. I think the trick is to play them in order.
Lauren, thanks for the link…I finally got the clips to play! I am so excited for the Gervais/Merchant episode!!
48 | Jenny Tue. Nov. 28, 2006 at 5:31pmThe website is still not working……..
47 | Deanna Tue. Nov. 28, 2006 at 9:14am:( keeps saying its loading.
yahoo Stinks. Just thought it was worth saying. The clips are working just as “wonderfully” as ever.
46 | that1guypictures Tue. Nov. 28, 2006 at 8:54amWhy doesn’t everyone just use quicktime, fer godsakes. Nothing is better.
I did manage to view the clips and I can really detect Gervais and Merchant in them. Oh, the anticipation!
45 | Maldoror Tue. Nov. 28, 2006 at 7:23amFound a new link to the clips on the NBC boards. In the lower left hand corner, scroll to “The Office,” wait for the 4 clips to appear, then select the first one, they’ll play in order from there.
