The Surplus
Meme It!Hank:Got a call about a problem up here.
Pam:Did somebody call Hank?
Michael:Hank, thank God you're here. The office is at a crossroads.
Hank:So, there's no security problem? You know, I hustled up the stairs.
Michael:Yes. I need your sage advice. And everyone, whatever Hank decides, that is the decision. That will resolve this issue. [Hank takes some jellybeans from Pam's jar] Yeah, take as many as you want.
Hank:Thank you. Thank you. You know, it's nice and warm up here.
Michael:Yes.
Hank:So what are we talking about?
Michael:Okay. Well, we have a surplus. Imagine that your parents give you money for a lemonade stand-
Hank:I know what a surplus is.
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.
Hank:Is that the copier?
Michael:It is, yes.
Hank:[inspects the copier] Hmm.
Michael:What?
Hank:I was just thinking. Let me see a chair.
Michael:Okay.
Pam:You can try mine.
Michael:Oh, there we go.
Hank:Hmm, not much lumbar support.
Michael:Now everyone, bear in mind once again that whatever Hank says goes. He is an impartial third party.
Hank: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.
Michael:So, the copier.
Hank:Well, let me finish.
Michael:All right, yes.
Hank:Now the chairs. The chairs are very weak. Very weak chairs. I could not sit all day in this chair.
Michael:Well, what should I do?
Hank:...Let me see the copier again.
Michael:All right, get out. Get out.
