Grief Counseling
Meme It!Michael:I don't understand. We have a day honoring Martin Luther King, but he didn't even work here.
Jan:[on speakerphone] I understand how you feel, Michael. I really do. So, would it be helpful to give everyone the day off?
Michael:You really don't get it, do you? You don't understand these people. That is the last thing that they would want is a day off.
Jan:Well, what would you suggest?
Michael:[thoughtfully] A statue.
Jan:Of Ed?
Michael:Yeah.
Jan:[scoffs] I'm not sure that's realistic.
Michael:Well, I think it would be very realistic, it would look just like him.
Jan:No, that's not---
Michael:We could have his eyes light up, we could have his arms move...
Dwight:That is not a statue, that is a robot.
Michael:I think that is a great way to honor Ed.
Dwight:And how big do you want this robot?
Michael:Life-size.
Dwight:Mm, no. Better make it two-thirds. Easier to stop if it turns on us.
Jan:What the hell are you two talking about?
Michael:Well, we are talking about how to properly honor a man who gave his life as regional manager of this company, Jan.
Jan:You know what, Michael? I've really tried with you today...
Michael:Mm hm.
Jan:...and I have to get back to work.
Michael:Oh do you? You know who wished they could get back to work is Ed Truck.
Jan:So call me when you feel like having a real conversation.
Michael:But Ed truck can't because he is---
Jan:Goodbye. [hangs up]
Michael:DEAD.
Dwight:Look [holding up sketch] I gave him a six foot extension cord so he can't chase us.
Michael:That's perfect.
