Scene 01

28 lines

Dwight Schrute

(lights and power go off) Uh-Oh. Okay, okay, nobody panic. Listen Up, listen up. (Turns On Flashlight and holds it to his face) Everyone, follow me to the shelter. We've got enough food for 14 days. After that, we have a difficult conversation.

Michael Scott

(as the power and lights come back on) My Bad. Space Heater and Fan were both on high, plugged into the same outlet.

Jim Halpert

Uh, it's saying the server went down? Does Anybody know that password? 'Cause otherwise we can't do any work.

Michael Scott

Uh... try "password".

Jim Halpert

Nope.

Dwight Schrute

Try zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, zero, zero.

Jim Halpert

No.

Dwight Schrute

Okay, now try Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, zero, one.

Jim Halpert

Okay, I'm not doing every number.

Pam Beesly

Wait, um, does anyone remember when it was set up?

Michael Scott

Uh... it was like eight years ago?

Pam Beesly

Lord of the Ring stuff? I don't know, I'm just trying to think of things that were happening at the time.

Erin Hannon

Um, everyone was getting their driver's license.

Jim Halpert

Why don't we just call the I.T. Guy who set it up? What's the name of the guy in Glasses, again?

Michael Scott

Okay, moving backwards, our I.T. Guys have been... Glasses, Turban, Ear Hair, Fatty 3, Shorts, Fatty 2, Lozenge, and Fatso. I think Lozenge was the one who installed it.

Andy Bernard

I got it, try, um--(Coughs)

Michael Scott

You know what? It made me laugh when I heard it, but Pam got really offended.

Kevin Malone

Big Boobs.

Meridith

Drama Queen?

Angela Martin

Nosy?

Pam Beesly

You're typing "Big Boobs"?

Jim Halpert

I'm trying everything.

Dwight Schrute

Try "Big Boobs" with a "Z".

Jim Halpert

That's-- (ding) the password. We're in.

Dwight Schrute

All Right

Kevin Malone

Wow.

Dwight Schrute

Yes.

Michael Scott

The important thing is... this kept us secure people.

Scene 02

Michael Scott

Morning.

Ryan Howard

How's It Going?

Scene 03

10 lines

Ryan Howard

Hey, I'm WUPHF.

Michael Scott

(wearing Ryan's glasses) I'm Facebook.

Ryan Howard

What's up Facebook?

Michael Scott

I sent you a Facebook message yesterday, I still haven't heard anything back.

Ryan Howard

You should've sent me a WUPHF.

Michael Scott

A what?

Ryan Howard

(pulls out Blackberry) When you send a WUPHF, it goes to your home phone, Email, Facebook, Twitter and homescreen. All at the same time. (phone rings, computer chimes, printer starts up)

Robotic Voice

WUPHF.

Ryan & Michael

WUPHF!

Michael Scott

Dot com!

Scene 04

Ryan Howard

(getting copies from the color copier behind the receptionist desk) Thanks Erin.

Erin Hannon

Sure.

Erin Hannon

Pam.

Pam Beesly

Mm-Hmm?

Erin Hannon

I don't wanna be a lousy snitch.

Pam Beesly

Okay.

Erin Hannon

Ryan has been using the color printer for his business a lot, and as Office Administrator--

Pam Beesly

Oh, it's okay.

Erin Hannon

But it's not for--

Pam Beesly

Let it go.

Scene 05

1 line

Pam Beesly

Yes, I invested in WUPHF. It's actually a great idea and I can't believe it didn't exist before. And I know Ryan's kind of a sketchy guy, but hey, I married Jim. I've done my part for the nice guy. Now I want a bedroom set.

Scene 06

14 lines

Michael Scott

I think an investor's ski trip is the best idea. It will be a bonding experience.

Ryan Howard

I love it.

Michael Scott

I was looking at a trail map, and I was thinking that we should start on a bunny hill, because I've never actually been skiing. And then work our way up to death drop.

Ryan Howard

Great, so we got our first offer to buy the company.

Michael Scott

Your kidding?!

Ryan Howard

We could sell, but why think so small? We can just get a couple more people involved, really do this thing our way.

Michael Scott

You and me.

Ryan Howard

New Investors are key, though. That's actually why I came in today.

Michael Scott

Don't you work here full-time?

Ryan Howard

(chuckles) Today, I was thinking I would sit down with a few of the people who haven't invested yet.

Michael Scott

Mm-Hmm.

Ryan Howard

Or we could do that together, if that sounds fun to you.

Michael Scott

That does sound fun to me.

Ryan Howard

Awesome.

Scene 07

2 lines

Dwight Schrute

(out in the parking lot with a guy unloading hay bales while Dwight sifts through the hay) Ah, this is good hay. Yeah. This is the good stuff, mattress quality.

Dwight Schrute

Every fall, my Uncle Eldred used to build us a maze out of hay bales for us kids to play in. We called it "Hay Place". Eldred Called it "Hay World". Eventually lawyers were brought in. But that's all behind us. Hay Place lives on! (guy comes and sticks a Bale of Hay right behing Dwight and knocks it into Dwight) Watch it, watch it.

Scene 08

11 lines

Dwight Schrute

Hello! Welcome to Hay Place! A place for hay.

Guy

Don't forget to make a broom.

Dwight Schrute

Oh, and the Petting Zoo closes at 2:00, and the Goat Roast is at 3:00. Come on in, enjoy!

Angela Martin

Hey, I'm kind of in the mood for a roll in the hay.

Dwight Schrute

Roll in the hay, five dollars.

Angela Martin

No, I meant... (motions you and me)

Dwight Schrute

Oh, our contract.

Angela Martin

Mm-Hmm.

Dwight Schrute

Yes, why don't we meet at the usual spot. (looks at his watch) Uh... I've got a half an hour during lunch in-between the historical reenactment of the dunmore farm slaughters and the onion boil.

Angela Martin

Perfect!

Dwight Schrute

So, uh... (notices a kid walking on a bale of hay) Excuse me, get off of there! Those are show bales, not play bales.

Scene 09

1 line

Jim Halpert

(on phone) All right, Thank you, I will--I will send the contracts over right away. All Right. (hangs up the phone and rubs his eyes) Whoo! (Erin jumps in the background)

Scene 10

1 line

Jim Halpert

I am on the first hot sale streak of my life. I think it all comes from feeding Cece, because no matter how much she resists, I sell her those carrots. Let's be honest--if I can make mushed carrots seem better than a boob... I can pretty much sell anything. (laughs)

Scene 11

7 lines

Kevin Malone

Commission comes out to... dunh-duh-na-dah! Zero.

Jim Halpert

Mm-Kay, Well, it can't be zero, Kev.

Kevin Malone

I entered the sale, and I hit enter, and I said, "dunh-duh-na-dah!" I'm pretty sure I timesed it right.

Angela Martin

You met your commission cap last week. So from here until the end of the fiscal year, your commission will be zero.

Jim Halpert

What are you talking about? We--we have a commission cap?

Angela Martin

It's a new corporate policy.

Kevin Malone

Dunh-duh-na-dah!

Scene 12

7 lines

Gabe Lewis

Is this job really about the money for you, Jim? I mean, isn't this where you fell in love?

Jim Halpert

A commission cap takes away my incentive to sell. So you realize I now have no reason to work, right?

Gabe Lewis

When you're dealing with a large organization, sometimes you have to put up with policies you don't like. I wish my gym didn't allow full nudity in the locker room. Okay, seeing these old guys walking around naked feels almost passive-aggressive. But I deal with it. 'Cause it's policy. See what I mean?

Jim Halpert

Nope.

Gabe Lewis

Nudity makes me uncomfortable.

Jim Halpert

Okay.

Gabe Lewis

My gym allows it. I wish they didn't, but it's policy. So I respect it, and I just--(put's his hands cupped by his face and turns away) keep a low--you know, I look away. Think about your commission cap as a naked old man in a gym locker room.

Scene 13

13 lines

Michael Scott

Excuse me, everyone... SEX! Now that I have your attention...

Stanley Hudson

You don't have our attention.

Michael Scott

MONEY!

Stanley Hudson

I'm listening.

Kevin Malone

You had me at "Sex."

Michael Scott

Pervert.

Phyllis Vance

You have all of our attention just by screaming anything.

Michael Scott

That's good to know. (screams)

Pam Beesly

What do you want to say, Michael?

Michael Scott

Wuphf! All right, I've warmed them up for you. You have the floor, Ryan.

Ryan Howard

How's everybody doing?!

Michael Scott

Whoo!

Ryan Howard

Good! Now, a lot of you have already staked out your corner of the WUPHF empire. Raise your hand if I'm describing you. (Michael, Pam, Daryl, and Stanley raise their hands)

Scene 14

1 line

Stanley Hudson

Yes, I have a dream. And It's not some M.L.K. Dream for Equality. I want to own a decommissioned Lighthouse. And I want to live at the top. And nobody knows I live there. And there's a button that I can press, and it'll launch that lighthouse into space.

Scene 15

7 lines

Ryan Howard

For my current investors, things are going great.

Michael Scott

We already have a buyer.

Pam Beesly

Really?! Who?!

Ryan Howard

Washington University. I don't even want to think about selling until our numbers get into the billions.

Michael Scott

At least.

Ryan Howard

So I've decided to open up a second round of investment to friends and family.

Phyllis Vance

Oh, God. Hold on to your wallets, ladies.

Scene 16

13 lines

Oscar Martinez

Did you ever think of WUPHF as an emergency notification system, like, for college campuses with shooters or gas leaks?

Ryan Howard

No, no--Oscar, it's not--it's not a digital rape whistle. WUPHF is about fun.

Michael Scott

That's right!

Ryan Howard

Fun, communication, connection.

Oscar Martinez

What's your money situation?

Ryan Howard

Well, it's tight, as with any start-up.

Oscar Martinez

Sure, how long can you sustain this without a cash infusion?

Ryan Howard

We have nine solid days. I love these questions. Keep 'em coming.

Andy Bernard

I'm sorry, nine days until what?

Oscar Martinez

Bankruptcy?

Michael Scott

Wait, Ryan, so this could be over by the weekend?

Oscar Martinez

How long do you think a week is?

Michael Scott

No, not this weekend; next weekend. We were gonna go on the investors ski trip. I bought poles.

Scene 17

1 line

Jim Halpert

Well, since I have no incentive to sell, I've cleaned my car, organized my desk, and taken a multivitamin. So... what now?

Scene 18

7 lines

Jim Halpert

Pam. Okay, now I've tried everything.

Pam Beesly

Did you prank Dwight?

Jim Halpert

No.

Pam Beesly

Well, you like that.

Jim Halpert

Yeah, it's not as fun if I'm not blowing off work.

Pam Beesly

I love you, but I'm kinda busy. So I need you to figure this one out on your own.

Jim Halpert

(blows a raspberry, Erin looks shocked, Kevin chuckles)

Scene 19

13 lines

Pam Beesly

Oscar said WUPHF only has enough money for nine days.

Ryan Howard

(colorful poster with numbers) Check this out.

Erin Hannon

All that color.

Michael Scott

Look at that. Triple your investment by January.

Andy Bernard

Anyone can just throw numbes up on a chart. What are you doing to make it happen?

Ryan Howard

Well, earlier today, I was emailing someone by the name of John Legend.

Michael Scott

There you go.

Andy Bernard

You have his email?

Ryan Howard

A lot of these guys are just Mac.com, @ their website, whatever. We get that guy WUPHFing, it's all over.

Stanley Hudson

I want my money back.

Michael Scott

Do not talk like that, Stanley.

Pam Beesly

Ryan, just tell us your plan.

Ryan Howard

Okay, all right. I know what you wanna see. I'll be right back.

Scene 20

5 lines

Dwight Schrute

(hits the back of a Dunder-Mifflin Delivery Truck with his hand) Hey kids, was that fun?

Kids

Yeah!

Dwight Schrute

All Right!

Kid

I wanna go on it again.

Dwight Schrute

Oh, I bet you do. You know what? When I was a little kid, they couldn't get me off the hayride! But it's gonna cost you three more bucks. (kid gives him three more bucks)

Scene 21

1 line

Dwight Schrute

Wow! This brings back memories. Hay stacking, hay throwing... and at the end of it all, one lucky boy would be crowned Hay King. I always wanted to be Hay King. The world shines on Mose.

Scene 22

Angela Martin

(waiting for Dwight at their meeting place, slams the door shut)

Scene 23

8 lines

Angela Martin

Where have you been?! I've been waiting.

Dwight Schrute

Uh, can we move this to the end of the day?

Angela Martin

No, I--I think you should make time for it.

Little Girl

I found the needle in the haystack!

Dwight Schrute

Hey, congratulations! Do you know what your prize is?

Little Girl

I don't know!

Dwight Schrute

Nothing. Life Lesson? Some tasks are not worth doing.

Angela Martin

Dwight?

Scene 24

13 lines

Ryan Howard

WUPHF T-Shirts. Who wants one? Just imagine that you're at spring break, Daytona Beach.

Michael Scott

Here we go.

Ryan Howard

Everyone's like, "Hey Dude, whats up with all the hotties in the WUPHF shirts?" Or, Uh, "Hey, what's up with that helicopter? It's Ry from WUPHF!"

Michael Scott

"It's Ryan the WUPHF guy!"

Ryan Howard

"Yo, Ry from WUPHF!"

Michael Scott

"He's up there."

Ryan Howard

"What's he dropping?! Wow, what's falling on us, man?!" WUPHF condoms! 50,000 condoms out of the sky!

Michael Scott

Look at that! He threw 'em on the ground!

Darryl Philbin

Look, this is a marketing campgain. You got nine days. Let's say you do get the money. What are you going to do with it?

Ryan Howard

The first lesson of Silicon Valley, actually, is that you only think about the user, the experience. You actually don't think about the money. Ever.

Andy Bernard

That sounds weird.

Michael Scott

No, it's not weird, Andy, and you know what else? We have an offer from Washington University. So monetize that.

Kelly Kapoor

(walks in) Are you guys meeting about WUPHF? You know that that was my idea, right?

Scene 25

25 lines

Kelly Kapoor

I said to Ryan, "I try to call you, and you don't have your phone. I try to I.M. You, and you're not online. I wish there was a way that I could do everything all at once, and I could just be like this little dog going, 'Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!'"

Ryan Howard

Baby, Baby, Baby--

Kelly Kapoor

I think I'm gonna stay here.

Ryan Howard

No, no, no, no, no.

Kelly Kapoor

I do, I do. This isn't right.

Ryan Howard

I help you with your things and you help me with my things.

Kelly Kapoor

But I--it's not right.

Ryan Howard

(whispering) I got this, it's okay. Don't worry about this.

Darryl Philbin

Is it any particular branch of Washington University?

Ryan Howard

The Washington University Public Health Fund.

Darryl Philbin

W.U.P.H.F.

Pam Beesly

Oh, God!

Darryl Philbin

They only want it for the initials.

Ryan Howard

The domain name. Yeah, they do.

Pam Beesly

I move we sell!

Michael Scott

What?

Darryl Philbin

Yeah, sell!

Andy Bernard

Yeah, sell.

Pam Beesly

Sell.

Stanley Hudson

Get us out of this!

Ryan Howard

Have some faith in this idea!

Darryl Philbin

If everybody wants to sell, we sell, right?

Michael Scott

I won't sell. And you know what? Ryan and I have the majority of shares. Isn't that right?

Ryan Howard

Yes. You alone do, actually.

Michael Scott

I--yes. We're not selling. I will not sell.

Scene 26

Kevin Malone

(runs to and inside the Hay Place maze) Awesome!

Scene 27

15 lines

Angela Martin

Sure.

Man

There's no charge to sit on the hay, is there?

Angela Martin

Probably.

Man

I mean, wouldn't you think the ten dollars to build your own broom would include the hay and not just the instructions?

Angela Martin

Mm-Hmm.

Man

I mean, I'm starting to think this guy is just trying to make money off the holiday.

Angela Martin

Yeah, instead of Hay Place, it should be pay place. (man laughs) Don't laugh at me.

Man

No, no, no, I wasn't--I was just laughing at your joke.

Angela Martin

Oh.

Man

Pay Place.

Angela Martin

Mm. Yeah, so we can celebrate Thanksgiving-Me-Your-Money Day. (both laugh)

Man

That's humorous.

Angela Martin

Thank You.

Kevin Malone

(stuck in the maze, says to some kids running around in the maze) You guys know how to get out? (kids run away screaming)

Scene 28

20 lines

Pam Beesly

Hi, Michael.

Michael Scott

Can't talk, saving the planet.

Pam Beesly

Oh, we don't recycle.

Michael Scott

We Don't? Well, why have I been separating the trash into whites and colors?

Pam Beesly

I'm sure no one asked you to do that.

Michael Scott

(throws the sack of garbage onto the floor) Eight Years.

Pam Beesly

Listen, I know you really like Ryan--

Michael Scott

No, I won't even consider it.

Pam Beesly

Michael, I... (sits down) I hate to say this, but... you know this special bond that you've always felt with Ryan, where, like, you're best friends or you're his mentor or something?

Michael Scott

Right, Yes, yeah. Best friend/mentor.

Pam Beesly

Michael, I think that feeling only goes one way. And I think that Ryan knows that, and he's taking advantage of you.

Michael Scott

I think you are wrong.

Pam Beesly

And there are a lot of other people in this office who have money at stake. Other people you care about.

Michael Scott

You may be right. I may be crazy.

Pam Beesly

Don't.

Michael Scott

I'm just saying that I think I agree with your point.

Pam Beesly

Yeah, but in a jokey way where you're gonna start singing.

Michael Scott

I thought it might make me feel better.

Pam Beesly

Okay. Go Ahead.

Michael Scott

(singing) But it just may be a lunatic... (stops singing) No.

Jim Halpert

(hovering over Meredith's desk) Oh, nice, wasting time, here we go.

Meridith

Hey, back off. It's Solitare.

Creed Bratton

Hey, kid--hear you're looking for work.

Jim Halpert

Talk to me.

Creed Bratton

How far can you reach those Lovely long arms of yours? (Jim reaching his arms out as far as he can go) Eh, put 'em down. How long can you hold that pretty little breath of yours? (Jim inhales) Good.

Gabe Lewis

Hey, Jim? Are you distracting these people?

Creed Bratton

We're working. (Jim still holding his breath)

Gabe Lewis

Can you at least try to look busy? (Jim Exhales)

Scene 30

Jim Halpert

(listening to and editing Jo's book on tape)

Jo Bennett

"The moment Darla put the cupcake in her mouth, her daddy pulled her aside and said, "You're Too Fat. No one's gonna like you if you're too fat." The next time I saw David Geffen was at the buffalo club. "I love you, you Gay Bastard," I said. "You Gay Bastard," I s--. "Gay Ba--" "Gay B--""

Ryan Howard

Michael, how's it going, bro?

Michael Scott

Good, good, bro.

Ryan Howard

Hey, thanks so much for having my back out there.

Michael Scott

Always have your back. So, any ideas on how we can get over this nine-day hump here?

Ryan Howard

I have nothing but ideas. The thing is, they all require money.

Michael Scott

Nine days, though. That's, like...

Ryan Howard

Look, I know I've tapped you so hard.

Michael Scott

Yes, you have tapped this. Hard.

Ryan Howard

(laughs) Oh, you are funny, Michael. You--people, people don't give you enough credit.

Michael Scott

Maybe I could take a second mortgage on my condo.

Ryan Howard

Well, a lot of people are doing that. And there don't seem to be any consequences. And they say the rates have never been lower.

Michael Scott

So you would think that's a good idea for me to do?

Ryan Howard

Think about this. You and me on a private plane flown by our private pilot--

Michael Scott

Mm-Hmm.

Ryan Howard

Eating our private meal cooked by our private chef.

Michael Scott

Yeah, well, we never even have dinner now, so...

Ryan Howard

We totally should.

Michael Scott

Tonight?

Ryan Howard

I gotta work on this.

Michael Scott

Oh right. What am I saying? Rain Check.

Ryan Howard

Yeah. (Michael closes the door)

Dwight Schrute

And now, by show of applause, We will crown this year's hay king. All in favor of Purebred. (crowd applauds) Put your hands together for... Mixed Bread. (crowd applauds) And let's hear it for... Purebred. (crowd applauds) Mm. It appears we have a three-way tie. I have no choice but to pick the Hay King myself. I pick... (all three contestants begging for Dwight to pick them) Me! I am your Hay King! All Hail your Hay King! (drowd leaves disgusted, as Dwight's worker claps)

Dwight Schrute

Did I truck 300 bales of hay to a parking lot to rectify some childhood disappointment? Yes.

Man

So, if I were to call Dunder Mifflin and ask for Miss Angela Martin, would I get through to you?

Angela Martin

You would. And if I were to call your house and ask for your wife, would I get through to you?

Man

My wife passed away a few years ago.

Angela Martin

How tragic. Very sorry to hear that.

Man

Thank You.

Kevin Malone

(still stuck in maze) Help! Hello?! Oh! Help!(runs around the maze)

Darryl Philbin

(opens the door the Ryan's office, grabs him by the shirt, pulls him out of his chair) Consider it a WUPHF in person. (shoves Ryan down to a chair)

Andy Bernard

Your doing the wrong thing. You're gonna lose Michael's investment. You're gonna lose ours.

Darryl Philbin

You got this crazy opportunity to get our money back. Tell Mike To Sell.

Andy Bernard

If you tell Michael to sell, he'll sell.

Ryan Howard

I'm betting on myself.

Stanley Hudson

It's a bad bet.

Michael Scott

Hello.

Ryan Howard

Hey. It's an ambush here. Nobody here believes in this company. Will you tell them they're wrong?

Darryl Philbin

It's not that we don't believe in the company, We don't believe in you.

Andy Bernard

All those in favor of selling, say aye. (all say "aye")

Michael Scott

I. Do not agree to sell, which is to say nay.

Darryl Philbin

What is wrong with you? What happened to you in High School?

Andy Bernard

You're gonna lose all of our money.

Michael Scott

Only if he fails. And you know what? Ryan, I believe in you. Just like I believe in all of you. You have nine days to save everybody's money.

Ryan Howard

Oh... Uh, That's a lot of pressure. I--I'm gonna need some more time.

Michael Scott

You can't have it.

Ryan Howard

Okay. I won't let you down. (Ryan goes back into his office and shuts the door)

Angela? (slides open the door) Angela! (see's a note on the door, reads it, and then crumples it up)

Scene 37

Michael Scott

The world sends people your way... Ryan came to me through a temp agency. Andy was transferred here. No idea where Creed came from. The point is you just have to play with the cards that you're dealt. (camera pans to different people in the office) Jim, that guy is an ace. Dwight is my King up my sleeve. Phyllis is my old maid. Oscar is my queen. That's easy. Gimme a hard one. That's what Oscar said. Toby is the instruction card you throw away. Pam's a solid seven. And yeah, you know what? Ryan is probably, like, a two. But sometimes twos can be wild. So watch out. And I am obviously the joker. So... (phone rings, computer chimes, etc.) That's Uh...

Robotic Voice

WUPHF, from Ryan Howard. Decided to sell company. Thanks, bro. Hell of a ride.

Michael Scott

Thank God.

Jim Halpert

(puts his phone in his coffee mug and calls Gabe)

Gabe Lewis

Gabe Lewis.

Jo Bennett

(Jim's edited version of her book on tape): Now listen here, Gabe, you're too fat. No one's gonna like you if you're too fat. I made some changes to my book. See if you like them.

Gabe Lewis

Well, Jo--

Jo Bennett

Now, I love reading, and I hate being interrupted. Shut up and listen, you gay bastard. Chapter One. I was born, not into luxary, nor poverty. (Gabe looks through Jo's book) But into adversity, and for that, I thank the Lord. My Father was a man. That's all we can know. After I learned to ride a bike, there was no stopping me. I would ride up Magnolia Stree and down Azalea Lane. Which would later become my--

Jim Halpert

(opens door to Gabe's office) All right, good night, Gabe. Just wanted to say thanks again. (Gabe motions that he's on the phone) 'Cause I really think I made good use of my day, oh! Sorry.

Jo Bennett

I've always been a fighter. And Fate has obliged me with plenty of battles, the first being a hard--
