    So... why don't we try this out, we'll see what would happen. Give it a little test drive, what do you say? You pretend to be Angela's father, you will play Angela, and uh, I will pretend to be you. That way you can see what it looks like when you're up here.

    Although born just minutes from here, he speaks only German. Closed society. So, now, after the readings by all of your sisters, we will arrive at the vows. So, Konrad... And away we go. This is a little taste of the ceremony, if you will. He's explaining why we're here, what we're doing here, making introductions, blah blah blah... Then he's gonna have Andy repeat a bunch of stuff. He's gonna ask Andy to produce a ring. I have uh, now just uh... just some twine for our purposes, and you will put the ring on her finger. Yadda yadda, then he's going to ask Andy, uh, if he would like to marry Angela. And you will reply, 'I do.'

    Hank, thank God you're here. The office is at a crossroads.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25760

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25761

  18. Michael

    Yes. I need your sage advice. And everyone, whatever Hank decides, that is the decision. That will resolve this issue. Yeah, take as many as you want.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25763

  20. Michael

    Yes.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25764

  21. Hank Doyle

    So what are we talking about?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25765

  22. Michael

    Okay. Well, we have a surplus. Imagine that your parents give you money for a lemonade stand-

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25766

  23. Hank Doyle

    I know what a surplus is.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25767

  24. Michael

    Oh, okay. Good. Good. Well, here's the thing. Some people want to use the surplus to buy a new copier. Other people are complaining about the chairs.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25768

  25. Hank Doyle

    Is that the copier?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25769

  26. Michael

    It is, yes.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25770

  27. Hank Doyle

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25771

  28. Michael

    What?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25772

  29. Hank Doyle

    I was just thinking. Let me see a chair.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25773

  30. Michael

    Okay.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25774

  31. Pam

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25775

  32. Michael

    Oh, there we go.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25776

  33. Hank Doyle

    Hmm, not much lumbar support.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25777

  34. Michael

    Now everyone, bear in mind once again that whatever Hank says goes. He is an impartial third party.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25778

  35. Hank Doyle

    On the one hand, this copier is very old. You should see some of the new copiers they have. You would not believe what they do.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25779

  36. Michael

    So, the copier.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25780

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25782

    Now the chairs. The chairs are very weak. Very weak chairs. I could not sit all day in this chair.

  40. Michael

    Well, what should I do?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25784

  41. Hank Doyle

    ...Let me see the copier again.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25785

  42. Michael

    All right, get out. Get out.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25786

  43. Angela

    Dwight, I thought I knew what I wanted. And then, being here with you and the German Mennonite minister... it just all felt right. I made a mistake picking Andy.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25787

  44. Dwight

    I know you did. And that's why I have taken care of everything.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25788

  45. Angela

    What do you mean?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25789

  46. Dwight

    Well Monkey, he's a real minister. And you said, 'I do.' And I said, 'I do.' And Andy wasn't signing a receipt; he was signing our marriage certificate as a witness.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25790

  47. Angela

    Dwight! That doesn't count!

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25791

  48. Dwight

    Yes, of course it does.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25792

  49. Angela

    No, it doesn't!

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25793

  50. Dwight

    It does in the state of Pennsylvania.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25794

  51. Angela

    I didn't-

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25795

  52. Dwight

    Haha, Mrs. Schrute.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25796

  53. Angela

    We are not married.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25797

  54. Dwight

    Wha...

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25798

  55. Angela

    Take this thing.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25799

  56. Dwight

    My... It's not my fault you don't understand German; I've been telling you to take it for years!

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25800

  57. Andy

    Are we, uh... are we leaving or what? Ow!

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25801

  58. David

    Michael.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25802

  59. Michael

    Hey David- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm eating tiramisu. Some of the chocolate powder just went down my throat. I'm stopping now.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25803

  60. David

    Is this why you're calling me?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25804

  61. Michael

    No, no, no, no, no. No. I'm calling- I'm sorry.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25805

  62. David

    Okay.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25806

  63. Michael

    Mm. I'm calling because, um, we have a stupid budget surplus, and people-everybody wants something different.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25807

  64. David

    You want me to weigh in on a minor budget issue?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25808

  65. Michael

    No, no, no. I want you to make the decision so I'm not the bad guy.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25809

  66. David

    Well if I were you, I would just return the surplus and take the bonus.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25810

  67. Michael

    The what now?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25811

  68. David

    Branch managers who come in under budget get 15% of the savings.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25812

  69. Michael

    ...Like a tip? $645?!

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25813

  70. Michael

    I hate disappointing just one person. And I really hate disappointing everyone. But I love Burlington Coat Factory. You go in there with $645, you are literally a king.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25814

  71. Jim

    We have that going out Tuesday... Okay? Sure, no, I can... I'll double-check that for you.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25815

  72. Michael

    All right, attention everyone.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25816

  73. Jim

    Let me call you right back. Okay.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25817

  74. Michael

    I have made my decision. We do not need a new copier. We do not need new chairs. This copier... is... working perfectly.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25818

  75. Oscar

    That's the original.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25819

  76. Michael

    Pam, would you stand up for a sec? Hmm. See how relaxed I am? I like this chair. Offers good support, it is urkelnomically correct... it's a good chair. I think we're spoiled because we don't appreciate the things that we have. You think kids in Africa have chairs? No. They sit in big piles of garbage. You think they have copiers? They don't have copiers. They don't even- Gah! They don't even have paper. And we are spoiled because we throw out perfectly good tiramisu because it has a little tiny hair on it. My point I this: I have seen the light in terms of what we need, and it is nothing.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25820

  77. Oscar

    Do you know?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25821

  78. Michael

    Do I know what?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25822

  79. Oscar

    I think you know.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25823

  80. Michael

    Mm, no...

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25824

  81. Phyllis

    Know what?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25825

  82. Pam

    Yeah, know what?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25826

  83. Oscar

    Does anyone happen to know what 15% of 4300 is?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25827

  84. Michael

    $645.00

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25828

  85. Kevin

    Michael's a genius.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25829

  86. Michael

    Right.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25830

  87. Oscar

    Why'd you say dollars?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25831

  88. Michael

    Because that is how my mind works.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25832

  89. Oscar

    What's 15% of 200? Thank you. Everyone, Michael is returning the surplus so he can keep 15% as a bonus.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25833

  90. Jim

    Wait, what?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25834

  91. Pam

    You can do that?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25835

  92. Kevin

    Hey Michael, what's 394 times 5,912?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25836

  93. Michael

    Let's see...

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25837

  94. Pam

    You're gonna give yourself a bonus of $645 instead of getting the entire office something it really needs?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25838

  95. Michael

    I don't need $645; I already have $645, more or less.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25839

  96. Oscar

    You're gonna get us a copier then?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25840

  97. Michael

    This is so stupid.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25841

  98. Pam

    Or chairs?

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25842

  99. Michael

    This is so, so stupid. And, God... that's my phone.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25843

  100. Stanley

    I didn't hear a phone.

    Season 5 · Episode 9 · Line 25844
