1
00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:13,221
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Oh, that's great.
2
00:00:13,304 --> 00:00:15,556
Hey. Happy Halloween.
3
00:00:16,474 --> 00:00:17,850
Jan called.
4
00:00:19,018 --> 00:00:20,520
Okay.
5
00:00:21,604 --> 00:00:24,732
I know why she's calling.
6
00:00:25,274 --> 00:00:26,442
It's the end of the month,
7
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:30,321
and I was supposed to let
somebody go by the end of the month.
8
00:00:31,531 --> 00:00:34,951
And somehow I'm supposed
to put on a costume and smile.
9
00:00:36,619 --> 00:00:38,496
- Okay.
- Jan Levinson's office.
10
00:00:38,579 --> 00:00:40,915
Hey, Sherry,
Michael Scott returning.
11
00:00:40,998 --> 00:00:42,583
Oh, she's in a meeting.
12
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:45,336
She just wanted the name
of the employee you let go.
13
00:00:45,419 --> 00:00:47,213
Well, I'm gonna wait
until the end of the day,
14
00:00:47,296 --> 00:00:49,757
because the book said it's best
to wait until the end of the day.
15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,093
I just need the name of
who you're planning to let go.
16
00:00:52,176 --> 00:00:56,597
I don't know yet.
I will have to call her back.
17
00:00:57,848 --> 00:00:59,976
I know she wanted the name.
18
00:01:00,351 --> 00:01:02,436
Okay, Sherry?
Yeah.
19
00:01:02,770 --> 00:01:06,857
If you were getting fired,
how would you wanna be told
20
00:01:06,941 --> 00:01:10,820
so that you could still be
friends with the person firing you?
21
00:01:12,029 --> 00:01:14,282
Jan wants the name
as soon as possible, Michael.
22
00:01:14,365 --> 00:01:16,701
Thanks. I'll call her back.
23
00:01:18,619 --> 00:01:20,746
I wish I could fire Sherry.
24
00:01:21,706 --> 00:01:23,916
Hey, I'm still here.
Okay. I'm sorry.
25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,167
Yeah.
26
00:01:25,251 --> 00:01:26,419
Okay.
27
00:01:26,502 --> 00:01:28,004
Hanging up now.
28
00:02:04,665 --> 00:02:08,294
I mean, you hear
about layoffs in the news,
29
00:02:08,377 --> 00:02:12,757
but when you actually have to
do it yourself, it is heavy stuff. It's...
30
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:16,302
I mean, these are people's
lives you're talking about.
31
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:18,512
You wanted me?
Yes.
32
00:02:25,728 --> 00:02:28,731
Papier-maché?
Yes. Yes.
33
00:02:30,232 --> 00:02:31,233
Um...
34
00:02:31,609 --> 00:02:34,195
Pam, I have to let
somebody go today.
35
00:02:35,029 --> 00:02:37,615
This is the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.
36
00:02:37,698 --> 00:02:39,575
Why did you put it off
until Halloween?
37
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:42,119
Because it's very scary stuff.
38
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:44,580
I think it's gonna put a
damper on the party a little.
39
00:02:44,664 --> 00:02:47,500
You're worried about the party?
There's a man's life at stake here.
40
00:02:47,583 --> 00:02:49,293
So it's a man?
No.
41
00:02:50,211 --> 00:02:52,213
Or woman. A human life.
42
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,216
If you had to guess
who it would be
43
00:02:55,299 --> 00:02:58,469
based on their job performance
44
00:02:58,552 --> 00:03:02,181
and who you think deserves
to be fired, who would that be?
45
00:03:02,598 --> 00:03:04,558
I just answer the phone.
46
00:03:05,351 --> 00:03:08,354
And sometimes you
just let it go to voicemail.
47
00:03:14,735 --> 00:03:17,321
Your costume is fantastic.
48
00:03:18,948 --> 00:03:22,326
I know. I sent away for
it in July from a catalog.
49
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,372
Oh, no. Don't, don't,
don't, don't.
50
00:03:28,874 --> 00:03:30,000
Okay.
51
00:03:30,292 --> 00:03:34,046
Oh, man.
Okay, I have to fire somebody.
52
00:03:38,634 --> 00:03:41,512
What is that? What
are you supposed to be?
53
00:03:42,722 --> 00:03:44,890
I'm the three-hole
punch version of Jim,
54
00:03:44,974 --> 00:03:48,519
'cause you can have me either way,
plain white Jim or three-hole punch.
55
00:03:48,602 --> 00:03:51,105
- That's great. I like it.
- Oh? Yeah.
56
00:03:51,188 --> 00:03:53,482
Yeah, well, look.
What about me?
57
00:03:53,774 --> 00:03:55,151
What are...
58
00:03:56,235 --> 00:03:58,446
What are you? A monk?
59
00:04:00,489 --> 00:04:02,074
I'm a Sith lord.
60
00:04:04,368 --> 00:04:05,828
Oh, big deal.
61
00:04:06,078 --> 00:04:09,081
Three round pieces of paper
taped to a shirt.
62
00:04:09,832 --> 00:04:11,834
This cost me $129.
63
00:04:12,668 --> 00:04:13,794
ASS.
64
00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:20,593
Hey, you guys
excited about the party?
65
00:04:20,676 --> 00:04:22,261
It's gonna be fun.
66
00:04:22,344 --> 00:04:23,429
Yeah.
Yes.
67
00:04:23,512 --> 00:04:27,141
Oh, and look at you.
Showing your colors.
68
00:04:27,516 --> 00:04:30,352
Don't you wish you wore a dress
every day. What are you implying?
69
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:32,855
All good. Happy Halloween.
70
00:04:33,022 --> 00:04:36,066
What happened to all of those
spooky decorations that we had,
71
00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:37,693
the cobwebs and such?
72
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:40,613
Yeah, I don't know.
We put them all up last night.
73
00:04:44,658 --> 00:04:47,912
Well, you know what? Go buy
some more. I'll approve the overages.
74
00:04:47,995 --> 00:04:49,163
Sound good?
Yeah.
75
00:04:49,246 --> 00:04:50,331
Good.
76
00:04:50,915 --> 00:04:53,918
Oh, yeah, also,
about budget stuff...
77
00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:55,211
Um...
78
00:04:55,294 --> 00:04:59,089
I'm gonna need you to find, like, a
full employee salary plus benefits.
79
00:04:59,173 --> 00:05:00,716
Like 50 grand.
80
00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:04,011
I'm gonna need you to find
50 grand in the numbers.
81
00:05:04,094 --> 00:05:05,846
But we don't keep
two sets of books.
82
00:05:05,930 --> 00:05:08,307
Well, that's not what I'm
saying. Just, you know, find it.
83
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:10,851
Pretend that your jobs
depend on it.
84
00:05:18,818 --> 00:05:21,904
Interesting take on Dorothy.
I love it.
85
00:05:21,987 --> 00:05:25,533
Hey, you know what would even
be better? A soccer ball and cleats.
86
00:05:25,616 --> 00:05:28,202
Why is that?
Bend It Like Beckham.
87
00:05:28,452 --> 00:05:31,580
Oh, like the movie about the
Indian girl who plays soccer?
88
00:05:31,664 --> 00:05:34,083
Yeah, that would be perfect.
89
00:05:35,251 --> 00:05:38,170
Yeah, I mean,
I guess I could do that.
90
00:05:38,254 --> 00:05:40,339
It'd be funny. I don't really
play soccer or anything.
91
00:05:40,422 --> 00:05:43,133
Well, I don't really
have two heads. So...
92
00:05:43,217 --> 00:05:47,263
Wait, what are you again?
Oh, right. Three-hole punch!
93
00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:54,144
Okay, greatest strength.
Okay, okay.
94
00:05:55,062 --> 00:05:57,857
A dog-like obedience
to authority. Nice.
95
00:05:58,816 --> 00:06:01,151
But that doesn't sound good.
Okay, okay.
96
00:06:01,861 --> 00:06:04,446
How about the ultimate
team player?
97
00:06:05,281 --> 00:06:07,283
Dwight is special.
98
00:06:07,658 --> 00:06:11,620
But I don't believe that his
talents are being used in this office.
99
00:06:11,704 --> 00:06:14,039
So Pam and I
have put his resume
100
00:06:14,123 --> 00:06:17,167
on Monster. com,
Google, Craig's List.
101
00:06:17,585 --> 00:06:21,755
We're really interested most in
jobs that take Dwight out of state.
102
00:06:22,715 --> 00:06:24,842
Preferably Alaska or India.
103
00:06:25,092 --> 00:06:26,635
He's a gun nut.
104
00:06:28,137 --> 00:06:29,889
Sticks to his guns.
105
00:06:31,432 --> 00:06:33,058
Well, I looked through
all the budgets
106
00:06:33,142 --> 00:06:34,768
and there is one
department... Yes.
107
00:06:34,852 --> 00:06:36,562
...that has three people...
Yeah.
108
00:06:36,645 --> 00:06:38,898
...doing the work
that could be done by two.
109
00:06:38,981 --> 00:06:40,482
This is great.
110
00:06:42,902 --> 00:06:43,903
Oh.
111
00:06:44,778 --> 00:06:45,863
Yeah.
112
00:06:47,156 --> 00:06:48,157
Oh.
113
00:06:48,657 --> 00:06:50,743
Who do you think it
should be? Jim, definitely.
114
00:06:50,826 --> 00:06:52,244
No, Jim brings in money.
115
00:06:52,328 --> 00:06:53,954
Phyllis?
116
00:06:54,038 --> 00:06:57,666
Stanley, Pam,
Oscar, Meredith,
117
00:06:58,375 --> 00:07:00,336
Kevin, Angela.
118
00:07:00,419 --> 00:07:02,129
It's not a popularity contest.
119
00:07:02,212 --> 00:07:05,466
Although it does make sense
to fire the least popular
120
00:07:05,549 --> 00:07:08,510
because that has
the least effect on morale.
121
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:11,513
One of the warehouse guys.
122
00:07:12,181 --> 00:07:13,265
What?
123
00:07:14,350 --> 00:07:18,145
There is someone left off that
list? Who? Who is he saying?
124
00:07:19,563 --> 00:07:22,358
You're right. I didn't
even think of him.
125
00:07:22,566 --> 00:07:23,943
No, Michael.
126
00:07:24,026 --> 00:07:26,070
Yeah, that's actually
a really good idea. No.
127
00:07:26,153 --> 00:07:29,031
No. Not me.
Yeah, I could.
128
00:07:29,114 --> 00:07:32,117
Not Dwight. I'm not
saying that's what he said.
129
00:07:32,201 --> 00:07:33,953
I know that's what he said.
130
00:07:34,036 --> 00:07:35,120
What?
131
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,831
Tell him not Dwight.
132
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:40,125
That is not a very nice thing
to say about him.
133
00:07:40,209 --> 00:07:41,293
Tell him to stop.
134
00:07:41,377 --> 00:07:43,045
Are you kidding?
Quiet, you!
135
00:07:43,128 --> 00:07:45,005
I agree.
He'd land on his feet.
136
00:07:45,089 --> 00:07:46,256
Make him be quiet.
137
00:07:49,843 --> 00:07:53,055
Those aren't chips and dip.
No, I made brownies.
138
00:07:55,599 --> 00:07:56,684
What?
139
00:07:56,767 --> 00:08:00,521
I'm just trying to figure out
why you're sabotaging things.
140
00:08:01,021 --> 00:08:04,942
I made brownies. And I
made cookies. Same category.
141
00:08:07,903 --> 00:08:11,198
I'm guessing Angela's
the one in the neighborhood
142
00:08:11,281 --> 00:08:15,369
who gives the trick-or-treaters
some toothbrushes,
143
00:08:16,745 --> 00:08:17,955
pennies,
144
00:08:19,248 --> 00:08:20,499
walnuts...
145
00:08:20,582 --> 00:08:22,418
Dunder Mifflin, this is Pam.
146
00:08:24,211 --> 00:08:25,295
Yeah.
147
00:08:26,672 --> 00:08:30,801
Just one second. I will transfer
you to our manager, Michael Scott.
148
00:08:33,470 --> 00:08:34,555
Wow.
149
00:08:37,266 --> 00:08:39,018
Michael Scott here.
150
00:08:39,518 --> 00:08:42,980
Yes, I am regional manager
of this orifice.
151
00:08:43,647 --> 00:08:44,773
Hmm-hmm.
152
00:08:45,774 --> 00:08:48,736
Dwight Schrute is amazing.
153
00:08:49,528 --> 00:08:50,571
Yeah.
154
00:08:50,654 --> 00:08:54,783
No, he is actually the single
greatest employee of his generation.
155
00:08:55,784 --> 00:08:56,785
Hmm-hmm.
156
00:08:56,952 --> 00:08:58,495
You know what?
I'm gonna tell you what.
157
00:08:58,579 --> 00:09:02,624
You hire Dwight K. Schrute
and he does not meet,
158
00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:07,379
nay, exceed every one
of your wildest expectations,
159
00:09:07,463 --> 00:09:12,134
well, then, you can hold me,
Michael Gary Scott
160
00:09:12,342 --> 00:09:15,137
personally and
financially responsible.
161
00:09:15,220 --> 00:09:18,432
Okay. Okay. Okay.
162
00:09:19,141 --> 00:09:20,267
Okay.
163
00:09:26,732 --> 00:09:29,651
Stanley, could you come
with me, please? No.
164
00:09:32,821 --> 00:09:35,199
As Assistant Regional
Manager... To the?
165
00:09:35,282 --> 00:09:37,951
Look, I've got some bad news.
166
00:09:38,619 --> 00:09:41,789
You're fired. You need to
pack up your things and go.
167
00:09:42,414 --> 00:09:46,043
I'm serious, Stanley.
It's over. I'm sorry.
168
00:09:46,126 --> 00:09:47,669
"You're fired."
169
00:09:48,253 --> 00:09:50,506
Get your fingers off my phone.
170
00:09:56,261 --> 00:09:59,640
So, how did it go with
Stanley? How did he take it?
171
00:09:59,723 --> 00:10:01,767
He wouldn't listen to me.
Oh, come on.
172
00:10:01,850 --> 00:10:04,186
If you wanna fire him, you're
gonna have to tell him yourself.
173
00:10:04,269 --> 00:10:06,271
I don't wanna fire Stanley.
I never said that.
174
00:10:06,355 --> 00:10:09,149
I'm certainly not going
to do it myself.
175
00:10:09,316 --> 00:10:12,528
Get those big baleful
eyes staring at me.
176
00:10:12,611 --> 00:10:15,614
Yikes. Just... Okay, just...
177
00:10:17,282 --> 00:10:18,909
Cumberland Mills?
178
00:10:20,369 --> 00:10:22,621
And how did you get my résumé?
179
00:10:23,330 --> 00:10:25,666
Oh, no, no. I'm very
flattered. Don't get me wrong.
180
00:10:25,749 --> 00:10:29,002
I'm just not sure that
it's my official resume
181
00:10:29,086 --> 00:10:31,421
or if it's something
that maybe
182
00:10:32,005 --> 00:10:34,508
a satisfied customer
posted online.
183
00:10:35,884 --> 00:10:38,887
What does it say
under martial arts training?
184
00:10:39,930 --> 00:10:42,391
Oh, okay, I'm gonna
have to supplement that.
185
00:10:42,474 --> 00:10:44,685
Could I have your fax number?
186
00:10:44,852 --> 00:10:48,689
Would I ever leave this company?
Look, I'm all about loyalty.
187
00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:52,943
In fact, I feel like part of what I'm
getting paid for here is my loyalty.
188
00:10:53,485 --> 00:10:57,447
But if there were somewhere else
that valued that loyalty more highly,
189
00:10:57,948 --> 00:11:01,368
I'm going wherever
they value loyalty the most.
190
00:11:04,496 --> 00:11:05,747
Oh, hey.
191
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:10,169
Oh, your dress is stuck
in the back. Gotta just...
192
00:11:10,252 --> 00:11:11,253
Oh.
193
00:11:14,965 --> 00:11:16,675
So you got the fax.
194
00:11:16,758 --> 00:11:19,052
So why didn't you add it
to the résumé?
195
00:11:19,136 --> 00:11:22,055
What do you mean? Of course,
martial arts training is relevant.
196
00:11:22,139 --> 00:11:23,265
Oh, excuse me,
197
00:11:23,348 --> 00:11:26,393
I know about a billion Asians
that would beg to differ.
198
00:11:27,686 --> 00:11:30,731
Yeah, I get a little frustrated when
I'm dealing with incompetence!
199
00:11:30,814 --> 00:11:32,524
Well, you know what?
You can go to hell, too,
200
00:11:32,608 --> 00:11:34,860
and I will see you there
burning.
201
00:11:34,943 --> 00:11:39,114
Fine. Oh, wait, so you'll let me
know when you've made a decision...
202
00:11:43,410 --> 00:11:45,287
Jim is really talented.
203
00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:49,249
And he should be the one
who's getting a better job offer.
204
00:11:49,333 --> 00:11:50,834
Like, for real.
205
00:11:50,918 --> 00:11:55,547
Don't take this the wrong way,
but you should go for that job.
206
00:11:58,675 --> 00:11:59,843
Um...
207
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:03,805
It's in Maryland.
Yeah.
208
00:12:04,348 --> 00:12:06,141
But, I mean,
look at the salary,
209
00:12:06,225 --> 00:12:10,604
and it's definitely
a step up and a challenge.
210
00:12:12,981 --> 00:12:14,107
Yeah.
211
00:12:17,277 --> 00:12:19,488
Yeah. You know what, maybe...
212
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:22,532
Maybe I will.
213
00:12:25,744 --> 00:12:26,954
Jim.
214
00:12:28,455 --> 00:12:31,333
This is called
leveraging an offer.
215
00:12:32,834 --> 00:12:36,171
Michael, can I talk to you
for a moment? Oh, God.
216
00:12:36,255 --> 00:12:40,467
I just thought you should know
that I was just offered a job
217
00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:42,844
with better pay,
better benefits,
218
00:12:42,928 --> 00:12:45,931
and a better title
at Cumberland Mills.
219
00:12:46,014 --> 00:12:48,058
Fantastic.
And I turned it down.
220
00:12:48,141 --> 00:12:50,519
What? That would have
solved all my problems.
221
00:12:50,602 --> 00:12:54,690
Out of loyalty to this
company. Oh, you idiot. Go.
222
00:12:54,773 --> 00:12:57,776
So I was hoping to be made
Assistant Regional Manager officially.
223
00:12:57,859 --> 00:13:00,445
If you left, I wouldn't
have to fire anybody.
224
00:13:00,529 --> 00:13:02,739
But then you wouldn't
have me here. Big deal.
225
00:13:02,823 --> 00:13:05,784
Oh, it would have worked out
so well. Can you get it back?
226
00:13:05,867 --> 00:13:07,953
It's in Maryland. You could
call. Can you call them?
227
00:13:08,036 --> 00:13:10,747
I can't... I suppose I... No.
228
00:13:11,248 --> 00:13:13,750
They never really
made me an offer anyway.
229
00:13:13,917 --> 00:13:16,878
Why are you torturing me?
God.
230
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:23,969
Honestly, I don't think Michael has
the slightest clue of who he's gonna fire.
231
00:13:24,052 --> 00:13:26,930
I think he keeps hoping that
someone's gonna volunteer,
232
00:13:27,014 --> 00:13:29,933
or be run over by a bus
before the deadline.
233
00:13:30,851 --> 00:13:32,644
But in the end, really,
what's gonna happen is
234
00:13:32,728 --> 00:13:36,315
it's gonna be the first person to
give him a dirty look in the hall.
235
00:13:36,398 --> 00:13:39,318
And therein lies the true
essence of his charisma.
236
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:44,573
Can I speak to you a minute?
Yes.
237
00:14:10,682 --> 00:14:13,685
Michael, I really didn't
mean to... Help me.
238
00:14:14,603 --> 00:14:17,689
I'm sorry? I want you
to role-play firing me.
239
00:14:17,773 --> 00:14:20,275
I want you to fire me,
and I will take it.
240
00:14:20,984 --> 00:14:22,402
Oh, you want me to be you.
Yes.
241
00:14:22,486 --> 00:14:24,446
Okay. I want you to be
me and I will be Creed.
242
00:14:24,529 --> 00:14:26,531
Oh, are you firing Creed?
No, no, no.
243
00:14:26,615 --> 00:14:30,077
That's just first thing...
Came... Can't... That head...
244
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,538
We should switch seats in
order to... Yes, that's a good idea.
245
00:14:33,622 --> 00:14:34,956
All right?
246
00:14:35,874 --> 00:14:37,209
Excuse me.
247
00:14:42,172 --> 00:14:44,466
I'm really sorry,
but I have to let you go.
248
00:14:44,549 --> 00:14:48,011
And it's purely budgetary.
It's not personal...
249
00:14:49,429 --> 00:14:52,307
I'm gonna kill myself!
Wow.
250
00:14:52,391 --> 00:14:55,227
I'm going to kill myself
and it's your fault!
251
00:14:55,310 --> 00:14:56,895
That's an overreaction.
252
00:14:56,978 --> 00:14:59,439
Corporate is really
breathing down my neck
253
00:14:59,523 --> 00:15:02,109
and they're saying this has to
be done by the end of the month...
254
00:15:02,192 --> 00:15:04,528
Is this you? Are you being
you? Or is this Creed?
255
00:15:04,611 --> 00:15:06,363
Are you...
I am...
256
00:15:07,489 --> 00:15:09,324
This is Creed.
Okay.
257
00:15:09,408 --> 00:15:12,244
I'm improvising.
So just try to keep up.
258
00:15:12,327 --> 00:15:13,829
And I'm very angry.
Hold that thought.
259
00:15:13,912 --> 00:15:15,956
And I want... I'm gonna
kill you. Michael Scott here.
260
00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:18,166
I'm gonna kill you
for firing me. Toby.
261
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:19,334
I really have to take this,
Creed,
262
00:15:19,418 --> 00:15:21,378
so it was really a pleasure
working with you, okay?
263
00:15:21,461 --> 00:15:24,131
Get off. Get off.
No, no. Just get up.
264
00:15:29,094 --> 00:15:30,846
Just, just... Yeah.
265
00:15:33,598 --> 00:15:36,143
What happened?
It wasn't me.
266
00:15:36,226 --> 00:15:40,230
Oh, that was, like, crazy,
because I was... Yeah, I know.
267
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:50,824
Hey, Creed?
268
00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:54,536
Could I talk to you
for a second?
269
00:15:58,707 --> 00:16:02,627
You are great
and very ambitious,
270
00:16:03,795 --> 00:16:07,340
and I feel like you want more
than this little office has to offer.
271
00:16:07,424 --> 00:16:10,635
And I understand that you'd
want to just spread your wings
272
00:16:10,927 --> 00:16:13,805
and fly the coop.
What are you telling me?
273
00:16:13,889 --> 00:16:17,559
We're gonna have to...
You want something better.
274
00:16:17,642 --> 00:16:20,020
No, I don't.
I wanna stay right here.
275
00:16:20,103 --> 00:16:23,440
No, you wanna leave.
No, I wanna stay here.
276
00:16:23,523 --> 00:16:26,067
Now, why are you
making this so hard?
277
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:27,944
I think there's a
misunderstanding about this.
278
00:16:28,028 --> 00:16:29,237
I think you're right.
279
00:16:29,321 --> 00:16:31,740
Can 1 go?
No, of course you can't go!
280
00:16:31,823 --> 00:16:35,494
We haven't even started
this horrible process of...
281
00:16:35,994 --> 00:16:38,038
Okay, Creed.
282
00:16:38,413 --> 00:16:41,917
I need to let
somebody go today.
283
00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:45,921
They told me I need to
let somebody go.
284
00:16:46,004 --> 00:16:48,715
And as much as I think you're
a great guy, and I like you,
285
00:16:48,798 --> 00:16:51,134
you're... Goodbye.
286
00:16:52,427 --> 00:16:53,970
Let's fight it.
287
00:16:54,262 --> 00:16:57,307
Let's call Jan and fight this
thing together like the old days.
288
00:16:57,390 --> 00:16:58,975
What old days?
What are you talking about?
289
00:16:59,059 --> 00:17:00,685
Did you start
the paperwork yet?
290
00:17:00,769 --> 00:17:02,062
It's right here
on the desk, yeah.
291
00:17:02,145 --> 00:17:04,648
You don't have to do this,
Michael. I can't, though.
292
00:17:04,731 --> 00:17:06,983
Undo it!
I can't change anything.
293
00:17:07,067 --> 00:17:09,069
This is the way it... No. You
have the power to undo it.
294
00:17:09,152 --> 00:17:11,446
I don't. Okay, just let's
not... You can undo it.
295
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:12,906
Michael, undo it!
296
00:17:13,031 --> 00:17:16,076
Yeah, I went hunting once.
Shot the deer in the leg.
297
00:17:16,576 --> 00:17:19,204
Had to kill it with a shovel,
took about an hour.
298
00:17:19,287 --> 00:17:20,497
Why do you ask?
299
00:17:20,580 --> 00:17:23,500
I have to fire someone
today. Okay?
300
00:17:23,583 --> 00:17:28,129
Fine. Fire someone else.
Fire Devon. He's terrible.
301
00:17:28,213 --> 00:17:30,840
I am so much better
at my job than Devon.
302
00:17:30,924 --> 00:17:33,843
Okay, well, I already
picked you and you know that,
303
00:17:33,927 --> 00:17:36,846
So, unless I just
go through with this,
304
00:17:36,930 --> 00:17:39,558
you're always gonna look at me
as the guy who almost fired you.
305
00:17:39,641 --> 00:17:43,812
No, no, no, no, no, no. I will
forget so fast. You will be my savior.
306
00:17:43,895 --> 00:17:47,107
You're the guy
who gave me my life back.
307
00:17:47,732 --> 00:17:50,277
Thank you. I knew
you'd see it my way, Michael.
308
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:51,403
God bless you.
309
00:17:51,486 --> 00:17:53,029
You're a fine man.
Don't...
310
00:17:53,113 --> 00:17:54,739
Listen, you will not
regret this, either.
311
00:17:54,823 --> 00:17:57,367
Devon is terrible.
No one's gonna miss him.
312
00:17:58,410 --> 00:18:00,328
Good, good, good, good.
313
00:18:16,511 --> 00:18:19,222
Devon, could I
talk to you for a second?
314
00:18:20,098 --> 00:18:22,142
Creed's an idiot. You
know that. Well, he...
315
00:18:22,225 --> 00:18:25,145
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You had it right the first time!
316
00:18:25,228 --> 00:18:29,107
Well, maybe I did. Exactly,
you gotta go with your gut, man.
317
00:18:31,234 --> 00:18:33,111
No, I can't...
318
00:18:33,194 --> 00:18:36,156
No, I can't go back.
I would look like an idiot.
319
00:18:36,239 --> 00:18:37,907
That's why I'm being fired?
No.
320
00:18:37,991 --> 00:18:39,451
So you might not look
like an idiot?
321
00:18:39,534 --> 00:18:41,036
No, it was all the stuff
that I said.
322
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,580
It was the business downturn
and cutbacks, and...
323
00:18:43,663 --> 00:18:45,957
You...
God, this is unbelievable!
324
00:18:46,041 --> 00:18:49,044
I just hope that you
and I can remain friends.
325
00:18:51,588 --> 00:18:54,049
Devon, wait. Please.
What?
326
00:18:54,132 --> 00:18:55,592
Look, look.
327
00:18:57,260 --> 00:18:59,929
In addition to severance
and everything,
328
00:19:00,013 --> 00:19:02,891
I want to give you
329
00:19:04,517 --> 00:19:07,562
this gift certificate
to Chili's from me.
330
00:19:09,356 --> 00:19:11,232
Okay? No hard feelings.
331
00:19:14,986 --> 00:19:19,491
Kevin, Jim, Pam, Kelly,
Toby, Oscar, Meredith,
332
00:19:19,741 --> 00:19:21,993
Phyllis, Stanley, or the temp.
333
00:19:22,369 --> 00:19:25,413
If any of you wanna meet me for a
drink, I'm gonna be at Poor Richard's.
334
00:19:25,497 --> 00:19:27,957
And the rest of you
can go to hell.
335
00:19:35,006 --> 00:19:37,300
What about
the Halloween party?
336
00:19:40,887 --> 00:19:43,306
Oh, hey, Jim. Wait, stop.
337
00:19:45,517 --> 00:19:48,395
I'm sorry for pushing you
toward Cumberland.
338
00:19:49,938 --> 00:19:53,483
Seriously, if you left here,
I would blow my brains out.
339
00:19:55,568 --> 00:19:56,820
Come on.
340
00:19:57,737 --> 00:19:59,906
That's just
a figure of speech, you know.
341
00:19:59,989 --> 00:20:02,158
Blow your brains out? Come on.
342
00:20:02,242 --> 00:20:04,202
All it really means is
that we're friends.
343
00:20:04,285 --> 00:20:07,956
And who else is she gonna
talk to if I'm gone? Right?
344
00:20:08,581 --> 00:20:11,543
I mean, if she left,
I wouldn't blow my brains out.
345
00:20:11,626 --> 00:20:15,213
Of course, I would take that job in
Maryland because it's double the pay
346
00:20:15,296 --> 00:20:18,842
and soft-shell crab just
happens to be my favorite food.
347
00:20:26,808 --> 00:20:27,892
!/ love Halloween.
348
00:20:27,976 --> 00:20:31,604
You know, it's just... But it's
just fun. Every year, it's just fun.
349
00:20:31,688 --> 00:20:34,858
Last Halloween, I came
as Janet Jackson's boob.
350
00:20:36,401 --> 00:20:39,279
It was topical. People
got a big kick out of it.
351
00:20:39,362 --> 00:20:42,365
The year before that
I came as Monica Lewinsky,
352
00:20:42,991 --> 00:20:45,076
and I wore a stained dress.
353
00:20:45,618 --> 00:20:48,455
The year before that, I also
came as Monica Lewinsky,
354
00:20:48,538 --> 00:20:52,459
and before that I was O.J.
It was pretty funny.
355
00:20:52,542 --> 00:20:54,669
Oh, I wish you were
here last year.
356
00:21:03,678 --> 00:21:05,513
Trick-or-treat!
357
00:21:05,597 --> 00:21:07,474
Hey. How you doing?
358
00:21:07,557 --> 00:21:09,642
Wow, you guys look great!
359
00:21:09,726 --> 00:21:12,854
I'm a bumble bee.
You look great.
360
00:21:13,062 --> 00:21:15,231
And you're a princess?
A fairy princess.
361
00:21:15,315 --> 00:21:17,442
A fairy princess.
You're very... I'm a lion!
362
00:21:17,525 --> 00:21:19,611
You're a lion. Wow.
I wanna hear your...
363
00:21:19,694 --> 00:21:22,739
Oh! Okay, that's all yours.
That's all yours. Okay!
364
00:21:22,822 --> 00:21:23,907
Grab it. Grab it.
365
00:21:23,990 --> 00:21:25,825
You know what? You
guys are getting all of these.
