The Office

- I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry!

Sorry everybody. My apologies.

Okay.

Well, that is a surprise.

Michael's almost never late.

And he hasn't worked here in four weeks.

Hey, how're you doing?

Overslept.

Do you think anybody noticed I was late?

- I think they're just surprised you're here at all.

Huh.

That's him.

Michael.

Gentlemen.

Was I supposed to stop him?

He seemed so confident.

No.

You did good.

Sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Where's Ryan?

He's late.

Dammit!

It's 4:30 in the morning.

Do you know where your kids are?

If you are Ryan's parents or Pam's parents or my parents,

you do.

They're gonna be in this van with me.

Who am I?

Nothing to fear.

I am just a 44-year-old guy with a paper route.

Time to make the donuts.

Come on.

Whoa!

No, I promise I won't do it again.

Come on.

I lied!

- We've been making 5:00 AM deliveries

for a couple weeks now.

Ever since I've gotten clean,

there's something about fresh morning air

that just really makes me sick.

Hello!

Time to make the donuts!

Oh, Halpert, wow!

Boner patrol.

Arrest that man.

Your donuts make me go nuts.

Hey Pam.

- We got the van at a used car lot.

We think it says "Hallelujah Church of Scranton" in Korean.

It was either this or an old school bus

with an owl living in it.

You didn't happen to bring any coffee, did you Michael?

Milk and sugar.

Oh, awesome.

You're a lifesaver.

Wait, is this just milk and sugar?

That's what I said.

Do you drink this every day?

Every morning.

I consider myself someone who likes to work with his hands.

I type and I file and I will use a telephone,

but I have found that one of the things I really enjoy

about making my own deliveries is the ability

to work with my feet as well.

I get to use the accelerator and the brake of the van

and I walk from the van and I walk back to the van.

And so, even though I consider myself a hands-on guy,

I guess I'm also kind of a foots-on guy.

We're doing okay.

A couple weeks in and we're having fun.

Uhh...

Yep.

We have 20 of those.

Oh, oh, excuse me!

Sorry!

Sorry, no.

It's a paper company now.

It's not for the church.

Okay.

Who covers Bans Pet Grooming?

Oh, they're my client.

No, they were your client.

They just called,

said they're switching over to Michael Scott Paper Company.

Shame, Jim.

I expected more.

- In the last month we have lost 10 major clients

to Michael Scott.

What are we supposed to do?

They keep undercutting us on price.

- I don't want to hear excuses. I wanna see improvements.

This is unacceptable.

Hey, boss.

I'd just like to point out

that I have been here less time than these guys.

Why are you telling me this?

- I just think the bar should be lower for a newbie.

- Is this something you really want to have said?

- I don't want to have said that.

But I think it's important that you know it.

- I don't know what to do to inspire these people.

Okay.

Maybe it's my fault.

It's not your fault.

Some people just don't want to be inspired.

- I wrote a memo to all departments asking them

to find ways to save money.

But--

Charles, I got your memo.

Thank you.

I want you to know I'm putting my foot down

when it comes to expense reports.

Waste not, want not.

Well said, Angela.

Been there, done that.

Okay.

Five minute power nap.

And then we're up and running again.

Pam, are you asleep?

Not yet.

Me neither.

Okay.

Ryan, turn on the lights.

Ryan.

Pam, wake up Ryan, turn on the lights.

I'm up.

You know what we need?

We need some couches in here.

Michael.

We should really consider getting a delivery guy.

- Oh, you know what you would love?

Is if we built a loft.

Why would I love that?

Can we afford a delivery guy?

Like in a dorm room.

You put your desk underneath.

You have your loft up top.

You can sleep up top.

Yeah, I know what a loft is.

- Most dorms don't even have that.

Most do in the magazines.

- Let's see what a delivery guy costs.

We should look into that.

Or we just go for the loft.

Dammit!

Where is my Andy mug?

What's wrong?

Two things.

Can't find my Andy mug and I lost another client

to the Michael Scott Paper Company.

- Tell me about it. I lost two this week.

I'm sorry.

I thought it was a cute mug.

You're making a funny expression.

Oh.

Then I decree that you lady Erin of reception

enjoy the Andy mug.

I'm really just mad about losing a client.

- I heard that Michael is hand delivering the paper himself

and Ryan's a blonde now.

I heard they get sausage.

Sorry.

This is really bothering me.

Oh.

- This isn't yours, is it? - No.

- Can you let Charles know that David is here, please?

Jim, hey.

Hey David.

David Wallace.

Hello, we've been expecting you, David Wallace.

Charles and I were waiting for you.

There he is. There he is.

How was the trip up?

A lot better than a month

at the Scranton Radisson, I'm sure.

- Oh, you know what? Hasn't been that bad.

Hasn't been that bad.

These people are salt of the earth down here.

You couldn't ask for a better way to learn a company.

I feel like I should be thanking you.

Ah.

- The conference room is ready if we want to get started.

- You know, I just wanna address everyone first.

- Oh yes. Take your time. Stanley, pay attention.

Hi everyone.

- Hi. - Hi.

Look, it's no secret--

Hi.

Hello.

It is no secret that Michael Scott Paper has siphoned off

a large chunk of our core business.

And I'm here, I just wanna reassure everyone

that we think this is just a temporary setback.

Right.

Okay?

Maybe, and I don't know,
