The Meeting
Meme It!Michael:[on phone] Hello.
David Wallace:Hey Michael, you got Jim there with you?
Michael:No, it's just us.
David Wallace:Actually, can you call Jim in? I want him on, please.
Michael:Oh, oh, well here he is right now. [Michael knocks on desk] Come in. [Makes sound effects for door opening and footsteps and points to Jim to answer]
Jim:Hi David.
David Wallace:Hey guys, so I spoke to Alan, we had kind of an unconventional idea, which I think is pretty cool. But it only works if everyone's on board.
Michael:Well just as long as it means Jim becomes a manager.
David Wallace:We were thinking of having two branch managers in Scranton. Both of you guys working as co-managers. Jim would handle the day to day and Michael you would focus on clients and big picture stuff.
Jim:Wow, that sounds pretty cool.
Michael:I like that, so manager and co-manager.
David Wallace:Co-manager and Co-manager. See, there are a lot of moving pieces and this is the only way I can sell it upstairs.
Michael:Well that might be a little confusing for people because they know me as manager.
David Wallace:Alright, hey Michael can you pick up for one second. [Michael picks up phone] Okay look, I'm not going to force you into anything. If you're willing to lose Jim, fine, you just say so and we'll find another solution, okay. Is that what you want to do?
