Michael, Pam, and Ryan start their day at 4:30 in the morning. Michael drinks a cup of milk and sugar for his morning coffee. They soon realize their new business is running out of money.

Their low prices stole many clients away from Dunder Mifflin. However, those same low prices are now ruining their own company. An accountant tells Michael they will fail in only one month.

David Wallace visits the Scranton branch to fix the sales problem. He does not know that Michael is actually going broke. Jim finds out the truth but decides to help Michael.

Jim convinces David to buy out the Michael Scott Paper Company. He tells David it is the cheapest way to end the war. David agrees and invites Michael to come in for a meeting.

Michael enters the room and says the famous line, "How the turntables." David offers him $12,000 right away to walk away from the company. Michael rejects it and asks for a much better offer.

David raises the offer to $60,000 for the small paper company. Michael knows they need long-term safety instead of a quick check. He demands his old job back and a sales job for Pam.

Michael also insists that Dunder Mifflin hires Ryan back for a job. He bluffs David by acting like his company is doing great. David agrees to the deal and sends Charles Miner away from Scranton.
