The Office episode 19 season 2. Michael's Birthday is such a great episode (like every episode of The Office), remember you can click the camera button next to any quote to generate an image of the quote to share on social media. Michael is very excited because he shares a birthday with Eva Longoria.

The mood changes when Kevin reveals he might have skin cancer. He is waiting for a phone call with his test results. Michael feels annoyed that Kevin’s news is stealing his spotlight.

Jim and Pam decide to cheer Kevin up. They sneak away to a grocery store to buy him a care package. They buy him M&Ms, Cup of Noodles, and a DVD of American Pie 2.

Michael tries to win back the office's attention with a large lunch. He buys eight one-foot subs instead of one eight-foot sub. All the sandwiches only have bologna, tomato, and ketchup on them.

The staff eventually goes to an ice skating rink to celebrate. Michael shows off his skating skills to impress his realtor, Carol. He even wears full hockey gear to look like a professional.

Kevin finally gets the call from his doctor while at the rink. The results are negative, which means he does not have cancer. Michael is confused at first because he thinks "negative" means something bad.

The episode ends with the staff giving Michael his gifts. Dwight gives him a custom hockey jersey with the name "Scott" and the number one. Michael smells like "Nightswept" cologne and feels happy again.
