The Fight
Michael:[singing and tapping on his coffee mug] I don't want to work, I just want to bang on this mug all day.
Ryan:Did you ask me here for any specific reason?
Michael:Uhh, yes, I did, here's the dizzle. I have a very top secret mission for you. I want you to update all the emergency contact information.
Ryan:Why is that secret? [Pam knocks and walks into Michael's office]
Michael:[to Pam] Hello, oh God, busy work. Ahh, get away, cretin.
Pam:Umm, I put stickers so you know where to sign.
Michael:Yes, thank you. I know where to sign.
Pam:It's just last year you...
Michael:Last year they were out of order, weren't they Pam?
Pam:Well, the last pick-up for overnight deliveries is at seven. So you need to have them signed by then. Or much earlier.
Michael:Chillax, Pam. Stop Pam-M-S-ing. That's pretty good. Um, actually, I'm sending Ryan on a top secret mission. Tell her what it is.
Ryan:Updating emergency contacts.
Pam:Well, is that really a priority?
Michael:Is it a priority? Oh I don't know, um, what if there is a tornado, Pam? People's legs are crushed under rubble. 'Please, would you be so kind as to call my wife? No, I can't because we don't have any emergency contact information because Pam said it wasn't a priority.' Think. Think with your head, Pam. Ok, well. She walks out. That's the problem with being a boss is that when you are tough they resent you and when you are cool they walk all over you.
Ryan:Catch-22.
Michael:Catch-22. Yes. Why don't you give me your contact information to start with, ok, what's your cell?
