The Office: "The Duel" (open spoilers)

Awesome. It only took three posts. Well done, Borborygmi.

The need to make Dwight and Andy best pals from here on out. They can lamely gang up on Jim and make rude comments to Angela together. The two of them together would be way more annoying to everyone else then each of them alone.

Not sure “underused” is a term I’d ever use to describe Meredith…

Mmm, free steak.

Good point! :smiley:

Since we are talking about Oscar shouldn’t it be “That’s what HE said”?

That’s when I lost it.

And I too love Oscar ever since the Canada episode. In this one, the way he tried to compliment Kevin’s doublespeak.

This seasons actually been pretty solid if you ask me. I know for me it’s been a hell of a lot better than the first half of last season.

Compare this to Dwight’s characterization of Angela as “eager” and “flexible.” Are they sure they’re having sex with each other?

Yes…

Maybe I’m dense, but I don’t understand why Dwight threw out his bobblehead at the end.

Little help?

He, along with Andy, seems to be done with Angela. He didn’t like discovering that she had slept with Andy twice.

ETA: Oh, and in case you didn’t know, Angela was the one who had given Dwight the bobblehead, in the second season IIRC.

It was a gift from Angela.

We also saw earlier in the episode how he used it to signal her that he wanted to talk.

Learn your rules.
You’d better learn your rules.
If you don’t, you’ll be eaten in your sleep!

That was completely silly, but somehow, it cracked me up.

I forgot about that. I hope we eventually find out the rest of the Shrute rules.

“You can’t even protect her!”

“From what? Bears?! You idiot.”

I thought he often used it a signal for “let’s rendezvous for sex” by moving it to the edge of his desk. Then he did the fake out move it towards the edge then pull it back and throw it in the garbage as if to say “no more rendezvous with you”.

It’s a great deleted scene I wish this had made the cut. This could have been a good hour-long episode

Biffy the Elephant Shrew, you may want to look away for a moment.

You mean the “sheet with a hole in it” method is a Jewish thing???

I thought that hooker I met in Skokie two years ago just had modesty issues!

That was hilarious! I loved Stanley’s line. And it had Kelly and Toby, too! That definitely should have been aired.
