Michael

After three years of writing, one year of shooting, four years of re-shooting and two years of editing, I have finally completed my movie, Threat Level: Midnight.

Michael

Erin... what are you doing?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43191

Erin

Guys! Guys. Did you guys know that our own Michael Scott has made a movie, and that he maybe will let us watch it, but only if everybody's dying to see it.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43192

Michael

That's... That's. Well, don't put words in my mouth.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43193

Jim

Threat Level: Midnight is the great lost film of Michael Scott.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43194

Pam

We're all in it, from like years and years ago. It's like a home movie.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43195

Jim

Yeah, if Michael Scott did your home movie!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43196

Pam

Michael screened a work in progress for us, years ago, and it didn't go well. We thought it was a comedy. Everything pointed to it being a comedy.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43197

Pam

We'd love to see it!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43198

Michael

Sweet, I will go invite Holly.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43199

Pam

Okay everyone, I know we're really excited to see this movie that everybody's in, but we have to remember that Michael is sensitive, so let's stay positive! And no laughing, no comments, just positive energy and we'll have a pure fun day! Okay?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43200

Creed

Thanks mom.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43201

Holly

You never told me you made a movie.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43202

Michael

Mhmm! It's got action, it's got heart, it's got some bosom.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43203

Holly

It's got you.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43204

Michael

It's got a lot of me.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43205

Holly

I can't wait.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43206

Michael

Ladies and gentleman, Threat Level: Midnight.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43207

Dwight

I play Samuel, Michael Scarn's robot butler. I wanted Samuel's voice- to be like this! But Michael thought that Samuel should be a very advance android, almost indistinguishable from a real person.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43208

Michael

Dwight does not play a robot.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43209

Darryl

I gave up a lot of weekends because I thought it'd be good for my daughter to see a black man as president. Even in a silly home movie. What a stupid waste of time.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43210

Jim

I did not love the dialogue. Or the character. I took the role to impress a receptionist who will remain nameless.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43211

Dwight

He cut the part where my circuit board malfunctioned! What was the point of spilling the drink on me?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43212

Jan

He finished his movie? No kidding. Wow, that's great. Yeah that's good for him.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43213

Michael

By far and away, the most expensive shot in the movie. But, it was integral to the story.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43214

Michael

That was not scripted.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43215

Karen

Why are you singling my line out, like, a million years later?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43216

Jim

Sorry.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43217

Michael

[turns off the movie from the remote, the office complains]

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43218

Jim

I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry. I think I was just relieved, to see that Michael Scarn got his confidence back.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43219

Kelly

Yeah Michael the movie is amazing!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43220

Kevin

It's like one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43221

Ryan

You should enter it in festivals!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43222

Kevin

Or carnivals!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43223

Michael

Well that's a... pretty good reaction. Pretty cool, right? Did you like it? Did you like that?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43224

Holly

Uh... which part?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43225

Michael

Okay. No, it's not good enough. It's not good enough...

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43226

Andy

Some people are really popping on screen!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43227

Michael

Hey.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43228

Holly

Hey! Good movie.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43229

Michael

Mmmm, good? Everybody out there says it's great!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43230

Holly

I loved it.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43231

Michael

Did you? What did you love about it?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43232

Holly

Uhm, I loved that you got to work together with all your friends. Isn't that great when you can all work together like that?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43233

Michael

No, no. Holly, this isn't Ocean's Eleven, where you get together with all your friends and just have fun and don't care about how it turns out. What'd you really think, honestly.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43234

Holly

Uhm...

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43235

Michael

Is it, is it because you're afraid of where this is gonna take me? See, because I need you... to keep me grounded.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43236

Holly

Not worried about that.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43237

Michael

It was eleven years, okay? This has been my dream for eleven years, and if you don't think it's great than you're basically saying that you don't believe in my dream.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43238

Holly

Wha- It's your dream and you never even mentioned it before!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43239

Michael

I talk about a lot of things, Holly! I was eventually gonna get around to my dream! Obviously! Eleven years I could've been working on the Scarn Nebulus.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43240

Holly

Well why do you have to make a movie at all?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43241

Michael

Because, if I don't have this, what do I have? I have nothing.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43242

Holly

Really, you can't think of anything else that you might have?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43243

Michael

I have my book on business, Somehow I Manage. I have my HBO comedy special, Here I Go Again dot-dot-dot. But you know what? When I think about it, when I really think about it, none of those things are as real to me as my movie.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43244

Holly

I'm real.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43245

Michael

Yeah, you're a real pain in the ass. And I'm gonna go watch the movie with people who think it's great! And I'm sorry I called you a pain in the ass, I'm angry, and I love you.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43246

Holly

I love you too.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43247

Michael

I am a huge Woody Allen fan. Although I've only seen Antz, but I'll tell you something. What I respect about that man, is that when he was going through all that stuff that came out in the press, about how Antz was just a rip-off of A Bug's Life, he stayed true to his films. Or at least the film that I saw which again was Antz. The thing is... I thought Bug's Life was better, much better. Than Ants. The point is, don't listen to your critics, listen to your fans.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43248

Michael

Who likes Threat Level: Midnight? Okay then who wants to watch the rest?!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43249

Michael

We filmed this during an actual Scranton High School Hockey Game, trying to qualify for states.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43250

Jim

That's fine, it's great!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43251

Michael

No, no! Actually it's really screwed up because they, they were trying to qualify, they were disqualified, they had to forfeit the game. Undefeated season. That's why there were so many people there.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43252

Michael

Hey...

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43253

Holly

Hey, I'm sorry. It is good.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43254

Michael

No it's not. It's not. But, they really seem to be enjoying it.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43255

Michael

[laughs at the stupidity]

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43256

Michael

Oh yeah, I guess I did let him be a robot.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43257

Andy

Whoa Whoa Whoa! Isn't the president evil?

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43258

Michael

Oh yeah! Yes he is!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43259

Dwight

No no, he's doing it to catch the president!

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43260

Michael

No, no Dwight. He's just being stupid.

Season 7 · Episode 16 · Line 43261
