Never mind, answered above. But you’re painting with a broad brush and are also just plain wrong. People on coke can indeed by annoyingly outgoing and dance manically. For proof, see, oh, American Culture from 1978-1990.
Besides, he was probably drunk on top of being coked-up.
I thought I remembered Toby mentioning Costa Rica before. I think that time he was trying to impress Pam by saying it. Like maybe she’d express interest and he could invite her to run away with him.
I loved that moment with the camera zooming in on Toby with his hand on Pam’s knee, and then he starts rubbing her knee. Such a fine line between a friendly pat on the knee and a career-ending sexual harassment suit! And everyone in the room looking at it, and going dead quiet. That was just fantastic. And him jumping up and running away - perfect.
I don’t know why they have to make Jim out to be an incompetent dickhead now. Offices can have someone working there who is perfectly normal and competent, and no one knows why they stay at that place. Jim used to be that guy; they’re turning him into the same joke as everyone else.
Ladies, gentlemen, please! Can we not simply wait for the toxicology report?

Unless you mean, “Outside of Inwood,” there is no way that place rents for under $1000 in Manhattan. At least $1500, probably more.
Maybe the Hobbit is his roommate. Dealers usually have lots of cash.
That made perfect sense to me. He wasn’t ecstasy friendly with Michael and Dwight. He was drunk friendly with them. The energy was from the coke, as far as I could see.
Oh, how could I have forgotten - when Michael was hugging Ryan, saying how horny he was. Can we forget about what drug/s Ryan was on and concentrate on the important minutia, like this? 
I like watching the show after reading what you all have to say…then I know what to look out for! I think everyone is being too hard on Jim. He had a great idea, and why would he even know that the lot gets locked at night? And with all their cars there, why did Hank lock them in? A decent security guard would have noticed which company was working late and called and warned them. And yes…Hank’s number was on Toby’s cell phone, so when he leapt over the fence, they had no way of calling Hank, though maybe they should have called Toby! Or one of them should have stayed and waited. And as for asking Oscar to talk to the cleaning crew…well, Jim was right, wasn’t he? How is that racist?
Not only that, but he’s her husband.
It does seem odd that she didn’t at least call him to tell him what was happening…he may not have a key to the padlock, but he could surely get Hank to move a little faster…
Would a combination of Coke and Ecstasy be called Pepsi?
I am pretty sure that any office building would let the employees know the building policy on locking up.
Well, to be strictly realistic –
-
No security guard would chain a property shut when it’s obvious that there are still people in the building. The guards would do at least one round before locking up
-
If the situation is such that the gate actually has to be chained shut, then there would be a night watchman on the premises who could open it if necessary.
Watching the deleted scenes on Hulu, I found it interesting that they actually shot on location in New York. Aside from a couple traffic shots (which didn’t have any actors in them), everything that was left in the episode could have easily been shot in L.A.
Yeah – what if there was an emergency, like a fire? This part of the plot has some pretty big holes.
I figured there was probably some place they could get out on foot, but their cars were locked up. Of course, that would mean Toby didn’t need to hop the fence, but maybe it was his quickest means of escape.
But how would emergency vehicles get in? A fire truck or ambulance would probably have tools to break the lock, but it’d take some time.
I’ve paid as much as $1700 in a slightly “off” section of NYC for an apartment about that size, but without the view. The lowest was $1400, again, for about the same space.
Don’t for get Ryan was also moshing on the dance floor… a good indicator of drug use.
Jim just kept tripping over his pragmatic nature, and his tongue when it came to the race card.
That studio appartment easily costs over $2000 a month. People in Manhattan tend to not have appartments like Friends or even Seinfeld.
I’m not an expert on drugs, but I thought Ryan was on ecstacy, not coke.
Ryan is successful by Scranton standards, he merely does ok by NYC standards. He’s a junior executive at a minor paper company, not a trader for Goldman Sachs making half a million a year. There were certain cues - having to wait in line at the club because his friend wasn’t at the door, pretending he’s in finance, grabbing a bunch of random girls out of line to get in faster, going home to his studio apt with no girl, his newfound drug problem (although it’s hinted in earlier episodes that he’s at least experimented with light drugs).
Clearly your information is incorrect.
