Creed

It's a beautiful morning at Dunder-Mifflin, or as I like to call it, Great Bratton. Keep it running.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45222

Creed

Do I love being manager?... I love my kids. I love real estate. I love ceramics. I love my job. I-I love wrestling.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45223

Creed

Find out what language this is.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45224

Creed

Okay, team building! On this side of the room, Stanley, Phyllis, Jim, Ted, Elroy, and this side of the room, Pam, Meredith, Phyllis, Creed...

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45225

Jim

He never called a meeting.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45226

Creed

BO-BODDY! BO-BODDY. What does the first 'B' stand for?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45227

Pam

What are we doing?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45228

Creed

We're making acronyms. Okay! What does the first 'B' stand for?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45229

Kevin

Um... Business!

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45230

Creed

I like it! Business! Good, Kevin! All right! The 'O'...

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45231

Pam

We need a new manager.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45232

Jim

Your paper experience is very interesting. Do you think you could use that experience to inform decisions here?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45233

Fred Henry

Absolutely--I, yes. In fact, I actually have a three-step plan that I believe could effectively double your profits.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45234

Jim

Really?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45235

Fred

Yeah.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45236

Jim

...What is it?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45237

Fred

Nice try.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45238

Toby

I'm sorry, what is your three-step plan?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45239

Fred

Well, I mean, I can't just hand you my plan. I mean, if you guys give me the job, then, then you'll get the plan.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45240

Gabe

Well... it's an interview, and we don't know that you really have the plan.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45241

Fred

Well, I'm not gonna just make up that I have a plan. I got a plan. Believe me, you guys want it. You're in paper, right?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45242

Gabe

How would we know that, if you don't...

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45243

Jim

You could just be saying it to get the job.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45244

Fred

I guess I could be, if I was... who would do that?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45245

Jim

How about this. Why don't you give us a part of the plan, and that way we know you have it.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45246

Fred

Tell you what. I'll give you part three of part two. Not gonna give you a whole part.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45247

Jim

Okay.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45248

Fred

Color-code sent documents, TM.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45249

Jim

Did you just trademark that...

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45250

Toby

W-What?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45251

Fred

That's a verbal trademark. That's an agreement.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45252

Jim

We are the Search Committee, hand-picked by our CEO, and tasked to find this branch's new manager. Not everyone we meet will be good, but someone's bound to be, right? And, to be honest, I think a lot of the decent candidates are right here in-house, so, I'm not too worried. But I'm really excited to spend a lot of time with Toby and Gabe. Did you know that Gabe's last name was Lewis? I had no idea.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45253

Stanley

Good morning.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45254

Darryl

Good morning.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45255

Phyllis

Good morning.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45256

Darryl

Good morning.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45257

Phyllis

Did you have a nice drive in?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45258

Darryl

I did.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45259

Darryl

I have a solid relationship with Jo, the company's owner. I have management experience. I have a good friendship with Jim, the head of the Search Committee, and it doesn't hurt that I'm... bla-aaack!

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45260

Andy

[puts up a poster in the break room with 'IF YOU ARE ON THE SEARCH COMMITTEE PLEASE CONSIDER ANDY' on it in bold lettering]

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45261

Erin

It's good. I really hope you get it!

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45262

Andy

The manager job? Nah, I'm barely interested. I just can't not go for it. You know, it's not the Bernard way. We give it the old college try, and then, in defeat, we show grace.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45263

Erin

Still, I'd really like to see this office with you in the boss's chair.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45264

Andy

Don't even... EEEHHHH!!!!

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45265

Erin

You in the boss's chair!

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45266

Andy

EEEHHH!! No. Hehe.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45267

Andy

In my family, you don't really go out and get things. If you want something, you write it on a list, and then the housekeeper goes out and gets it, on Wednesdays and Fridays. So, I don't know, I guess you could say this job is on my list, and... we'll see what Rosa comes back with.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45268

Erin

Did you hear anything?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45269

Phyllis

Oh, I'm sure they'll let us know when they get the results.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45270

Phyllis

It turns out that Erin was born in the basic time and region that I gave away a child.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45271

Erin

So, Phyllis might be my mom. I mean, the chances are tiny, but...

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45272

Phyllis

But, probably not, I mean, it was a big year for babies. Porky's had come out.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45273

Erin

Yeah. I'm sure I was just another Porky's baby.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45274

Phyllis

Mm.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45275

Erin

But why not find out.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45276

Phyllis

Yeah.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45277

Pam

Should you really be so blatant about that?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45278

Dwight

They won't make me manager, and I won't settle for anything less. I've gone about as far as I can here. That's obvious. Time to take my talents elsewhere.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45279

Pam

Are you really going to apply for work at Scranton Breadworks?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45280

Dwight

Bread is the paper of the food industry. You write your sandwich on it.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45281

Warren Buffett

Can you do any better on salary?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45282

Jim

Unfortunately, that range is set at corporate.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45283

Warren

What about mileage when I use my car? I mean, gas ain't cheap, you know.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45284

Jim

Heh. We think that 25 cents a mile is pretty generous.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45285

Warren

How about 27? And uh, when I make long-distance calls, will they be monitored or is it on the honor system?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45286

Angela

Okay. How odd, a very unusual phone call from the Senator's office. The Senator wants me to have lunch with him at The Botanical Gardens.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45287

Kevin

The Botanical Gardens, Scranton's hidden gem. Don't eat any berries you don't recognize.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45288

Toby

How will your experience selling refinery equipment translate to our smaller scale here?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45289

Robert California

You don't work in sales, do you.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45290

Toby

Uh... Human Resources.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45291

Robert

You see, I sit across from a man. I see his face. I see his eyes. Now, does it matter if he wants a hundred dollars of paper or a hundred million dollars of deep-sea drilling equipment? Don't be a fool. He wants respect. He wants love. He wants to be younger. He wants to be attractive. There is no such thing as a product. Don't ever think there is. There is only... sex. Everything... is sex. You understand that what I'm telling you is a universal truth,... Toby.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45292

Toby

Yes.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45293

Gabe

Okay, I-I am, I'm almost a little concerned that you might be overqualified for the position. Do you, um, do you think that you are?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45294

Robert

Do I look like someone who would waste my own time?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45295

Gabe

No.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45296

Jim

Can you... You are a man of great confidence. Could you speak a little more to that, and, what the role of confidence... would be... in a dialogue with a subordinate?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45297

Robert

Will you be heard? Will you have a voice? Will I steamroll over you? Do you feel heard right now, Jim? Do you have a voice, right now? You can answer me.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45298

Jim

Yes.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45299

Robert

That was your choice, not mine. The fallacy is that it is up to the steamroller. It is up to the object... whether it will be flattened or not, and I can tell from the small interaction we've had already, you won't be flattened by anybody. Do you agree with me, Jim?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45300

Jim

Yes.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45301

Robert

Yes. You do.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45302

Jim

He creeps me out. But, I think he might be a genius.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45303

Andy

Good luck, Darryl.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45304

Darryl

Thank you.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45305

Darryl

Think about it! What other mammal, besides humans, drinks the milk of another mammal? I mean, you don't see a bear drinking raccoon milk.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45306

Jim

Oh.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45307

Darryl

So this is cool. I think we make a good fit.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45308

Gabe

Oh? Uh... we haven't started the interview yet. Were you--were you joking?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45309

Darryl

Uh... yes?! I was. Little joke!

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45310

Toby

So, how would you go about settling interpersonal conflicts within the office?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45311

Darryl

I thought that was your job.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45312

Toby

Well, it's one of my strengths, but it's the manager's job.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45313

Jim

Well, for instance, how did you deal with it when two warehouse guys got into a fight?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45314

Darryl

I'll answer that, Jim. I would use it as an opportunity to teach, uh, about actions... and consequences... of actions.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45315

Darryl

Who's that?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45316

Jim

So I think all we need is a resume, and we'll be good right?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45317

Darryl

I... I just thought you knew me.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45318

Jim

Yeah, it's no big deal, just something that looks like that. Cool?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45319

Darryl

Let me... Oh. Cool.

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45320

Merv Bronte

Did, uh, you just interview?

Season 7 · Episode 24 · Line 45321
