s05e22-Heavy Competition

Things are a little slow here, And there's only so much cold calling you can do in a day.
Turns out there's no limit to the number of cheese puffs Yocan throw at someone's face.
We're getting pretty good at it.
Proudly presents season5 episode22 Andy put down a bunch of deposits On stuff for his wedding with angela, But then she was sleeping with dwight Forseveral years.
Wait,no,that can't be right.
The timeline's messy.
Anyway,now we are going bargain hunting In the haunted graveyard of their love.
This is my solo.
Ba dum bum bum Ba dum bum bum Ba dum bum m Ba dum-- I'm confused.
Am i walking down the aisle toyou can call me al? Trust me,you will not be walking.
You will be boogie-Ing.
I am extremely interested.
So how much will all of this cost? Well,12 guys,airfare,three nights in a hotel, Food per diem,table up front for merch $9,000.
I don't know.
It-- It seems like a lot For an a cappella group From a college we never went to.
Did you even hear the music i just played for you? What's wrong with you? Seleeves are cutting off my circulation.
Not enough blood getting to my hands.
I think you look nice.
Doesn't charles know he's compromising my attack readiness? It'sot a dress code.
It's a death sentence.
- Looking good.
- 'Kay,thank you.
It's a straight jacket! Okay.
When michael was in charge, This place was like the roman empire.
And the wild west.
And war-Torn poland.
And poland.
There was just a lot going on, So what you wore to work Was the least of anybody's worries.
And in that chaos, I soared.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Ed's tires is thinking of making a change.
Is this good? They have some great kitchen ideas.
Oh.
Okay.
Ed's tires,huh? It's small,i know.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks,michael.
What-- Whats this? It's for your trouble.
Wh-- I don't need $6 to help a friend.
No,no,listen, As a friend,i want you to have it.
Michael,you know i can't take this.
Yes,i do.
But don't forget you owe me $10.
That was four years ago.
Why don't you let it go?Michael.
What was up with pam being all pushy and negative in there? I think she just didn't want a crucifix cake.
It scares me to see you going down a road that i went down.
Am i going down a road? When i see her bossing you around like that, It just makes me wonder If this thing really has the legs To go the distan.
It's so scary How right the things you're saying are, And you're coming at it with almost no knowledge, So of course i trust your opinion on this.
I know a few things about love-- Horrible,te awful,awfulthings.
I was gonna use today to purge my inbox, But now something much more pressing has come up.
Ed's tires.
Why don't you tell them That we have fewer clients, So that we can spend more me with each of them.
Also try to discuss it over indian food, And try to mention how you distrust women.
I'm not gonna do that.
That is smart.
That would not seem genuine.
- Ryan? - I can get there.
Good.
You take the lead on this one.
Also,dnoforget that he has just gone through a messy divorce.
Oh,awesome.
Bring it in.
Morning cheer.
U-G-L-Y You ain't got no alibi you ugly You ugly You mama says you ugly Go michael scott paper company! I'm here.
I'm part of this now.
You needed to speak to me? Dwight,take a seat.
I prefer to stand.
Less blood clots.
Nah,that's weird.
You're gonna sit.
Great.
You know,dwight, It has been quite a transition for all of us.
Are you happy with the way things have been runnin' lately? Why do you ask? Do you mean compared to the way things ran with other bosses? Comparisons arhard.
I've just been impressed with your performance, And i wanted to make sure good work doesn't go unnoticed.
Your concern is noted.
Yeah,i like your work ethic.
You're sofocused.
Like a wolf.
Thank you.
And i wanna start givin' you more responsibility.
What do you say you and i go out for a dri this week? Really? Definitely.
It's firm.
I need you to get me the prices That you're charging ed's tires, So i can undercut dunder mifflin.
I don't know that i can do that now.
You know,uh,something's come up.
Oh,n-- Is it mose? Did you put the cover on that well? No,mose is fine.
I-- I roped it off.
It's not about mose.
Listen,things are changing here,michael.
They're changing fast.
I'm not following you.
Imagine Someone has a personal hero they really wanna help, But then there's this new guy, Very cool,very will smith-Esque, Who would not like it if he helped his hero.
Personal hero,cool new guy.
Okay,i think i'm getting your drift.
Good,so you see what i'm saying? Crystal clear.
So is this for a movie that you're writing? - No.
- Can i use it? No.
Dwight,are you talking about us? It is possible that i could be talking about us.
Someone could say It is like the situation that we are in now? Itisthe situation we are in now.
So,i would say That the old boss has always been good to dwight, And he was there first, So he has dibs.
You respect dibs,don't you? I'm not a barbarian.
Good.
Will you et me in I will.
- Dwight.
- Yes? Is the cool new guy charles? I've said too much.
Is it stanley? Hey,andy.
You know,i been thinkin' about what you said,and "Noishe.
" i just don't know if i can do it.
That's interesting,because what i hear you saying Is that you do want to do it,which means you can do it.
Believe me,i broke up with angela, And i'm,like,the happiest guy ever.
I mean,i'm so happy.
I'm so happy.
Like,total freedom,you know? It's just that pam gets me through the day,you know? I really rely on her.
I'm pretty emotionally needy.
And you know what? I am here for you.
Let me be your traveling pants.
Ah,what'd you do that for? You know that i was doin' this.
Totally.
Okay.
Hello,dwight.

Wcan't help you if you don't just tell us what happened.
I got hit in the face with a pee-Filled water balloon, Pam,okay? I don't know how they did it.
They filled the balloon with pee.
A funnel? I don't know.

I was just calling to see if michael scott paper Was meeting all of your paper needs, And how is brenda,age four,ponytail, And simon,age seven? Oh,you don't say.

And on the back he wrote, "Great salesman,better friend.
" "Tall" and "beets.
" And say hello to cheri, Who is your black wife.
I see you're begging for mercy,huh? Well,you will find none here.
Dwight,do you mind if we talk? Sure.
That'd be fine.
If you keep coming after us, The michael scott paper company cannot succeed.
This is war,and that is what happens.
Oh,one more thing.
I'm going to have you listen While i ea your biggest client.

Good to see you.
Mr.
Schofield,good to see you.
And i'm closing the door.
Now,when dwight tells you That he will keep prices steady for a year, I think he is speaking out of turn.
- Really? - Yes.
He does not have the authority to say that.
I,on the other hand, Am the president,the owner,and the founder.
It is like you are buying software from bill ges.
Are you saying you invented paper? Okay,okay.
Oh,god.
Okay,tuna.
- Hey,guys.
- Hey.
Hello.
Excuse me,can i have your attention,everyone? He's the deal,everybody.
Jim halpert is very upset and disturbed.
I don't know if it was something you did, Something you said,a look you have him.
Maybe it was nothing at all, But here's the deal,okay? It stops now.
I guess i could be nicer.
Andy,i think jim is messing with you.
Oh,really? - Okay.
- Yeah,okay, What the heck is happenin' here? Two things i need you to understand.
One,pam and i are very happy together, - Uh,that's not what was - And two, That stuff that happened with you and angela is a bummer, Ani ow that you don't think you're ever gonna find someone else, But you will.
I promise you.
You will.
Oh,man.
He got me so good.
I learned something about myself today.
I wish this was a sofa, 'Cause i feel like i could sit here and talk for hours.
What is that thing that dwight always says? Paper is the soil in which the seeds of business grow? It's not the soil! It's the manur paper is the manure! On-Time delivery is the soil! - Uh,hel,dwight.
- Spin move.
April 13th,2002.
Dwight,i'm in a meeting.
That's very rude.
I barge because i care.
April 13th,2002, That is the date when you tried to switch paper providers Foan obscure sociology textbook, But were hung out to dry When the price of glossy stock increased.
Maybe we should schedule a meeting on our-- La,la,la.
Continuing.
Notice my persistence and recall.
Continuing! You called dunder mifflin, And your order was filled Within an hour! I'm going to pull a date ouof the air right now.
April 13th,2002.
That is the last day That you evaluated your paper needs.
Is it not? We all know that the economy is bad, And bloated companies like dunder mifflin - Come on.
- are going to fall by the wayside.
Two of their branches have closed within the last year.
The michael scott paper company however, Has opened a new branch this very month.
What he's not telling you is that he will abandon you.
Why don't you guys just email me your best offers, And we can finish it up that way.
That sounds like a fantastic idea.
I will see you this weekend for the penguins.
Box seats as usual.
Uh,okay.
Sure.
- Good,good,good.
- I will see you.
Thank you,mr.
Schofield,for your time.
Much appreciated.
Oh,and tell me,um, How's your gay son? Excuse me? I color code all my info.
I wrote "gay son" in green.
Green means go, So i know to go ahead and shut up about it.
Orange means "orange you glad you didn't bring it up?" Most colors mean "don't say it.
" How is tom,the homosexual sophomore? I wanted to start a company,not a war, Because in a war, You always fight those you are closest to.
And the great tragedy of the civil war Is that brother fought ainst brother.
For what? What purpose did that serve? Apart from abolishing slavery? In that case,war was the right choice.
This doesn't feel as important,though.
That's just how the world works,i guess.
