In Florida, Robert California reveals to Jim that he’s going to kill the retail store program. Jim tries to warn Dwight not to accept the vice presidency, but Dwight finds an amazing variety of ways to ignore Jim.
In Scranton, Toby and Darryl are selling Girl Scout cookies for their daughters and they compete for the patronage of the office’s champion cookie consumer.
the writers really have no idea what they’re doing with cathy, do they? nice high-five gag with gabe though.
I don’t buy that Jim was so persistent about saving Dwight. It totally fits his character that he would try once to warn him, that’s fine. And then after talking to Pam, I believe he went back to try again. But after getting shot down and mocked mercilessly twice, he should have just gone home. Although it was kind of fun seeing Packer thrown under the bus.
I did like their part of the conversation that went “Your pranks have never worked before and they are not going to work now” “actually they almost always work”. But yeah, i don’t see why Jim would go through such effort to save Dwight.
They love eachother.
I mean it… I can see why Jim stopped Dwight.
"I AM THE GENTLEMAN!! SUCK IT!!"
Laughed until my girlfriend starting looking at me strangely over that one, I did…
The World’s Tallest Hobbit joke was funny. The guy who played Jim’s analogous character in the original series is, of course, Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming Hobbit movies.
I found that funny too.
I get the feeling the writers are completely winging it right now and have no idea where the show is going.
I missed part of it and was going to ask why Jim was so persistent in trying to save Dwight. I guess it was just his thing
Pam pressed him to…
I love that girl scout thing b/c it happens in my office to the point of supreme annoyance. I’ve taken to putting a tally on my door announcing how many boxes remaining I’m purchasing.
I liked it too, but it reminded me of how little of the comedy lately has been based in the corporate/office culture. Given that this show (both here and in the UK) was premised on the banalities on modern office life, I thought it highlighted thhow the show has drifted into more generic, character-relationship comedy.
What was the final resolution of the Girl Scout Cookie thing? I had to start fast forwarding through all the cookie parts it was so painful to watch.
I think both of them decided that they didn’t care if Kevin bought any cookies so they both walked away. Kevin then proceeded to beg for one of them to sell them to him.
And then, ummm, I can’t recall what happened then. It was a pretty boring subplot.
“I refuse to be another man’s horsie.”
(Second funniest line of the show; Hal Briston beat me to the funniest.)
Best part was when Dwight came out of the disastrous presentation realizing that Jim did save his butt … totally speechless for the rest of the episode. Not funny, but very touching. I just wish that they would’ve also fired that looney bin Nellie!
Kevin thought he could turn it around and curry favor with them the same way by performing dares, like singing “Hello, ma baby!” and kissing Meredith, which Meredith seemed to totally be into.
Well, if totally into it means “grabbing Kevin by the tie and pulling him in for more”, than, yeah, I think she was in to it.
Seeing how Dwight has treated everybody in the past, If I was Jim I wouldn’t have even warned him once. Especially after that E-mail dooms day program where everybody had to go to Schrute Farms and beg for him to turn it off.
Edit, oh, this is funny. While Googling to make sure I got the name of his farm right, I found out that it’s in trip advisor.
Schrute Farms Hotel
