Doomsday

Vol. 8 · Issue 6Scranton, PA

Dwight's finally gone full Bond villain by installing a doomsday device to track every single office mistake. From Andy's repetitive 'Closing Time' tradition to Jim’s desperate squash match with Robert California, every line from the episode is documented here. You can look through the full script to see exactly how the branch narrowly survived Dwight's accountability booster.

Scene 01

3 lines
Andy Bernard
(Flickering Lights) Hey everybody it's closing time. You don't got to go home but you can't stay here. (Plays radio and the song is Closing Time by Semisonic)
Erin Hannon
(Laughs and shrieks)
Andy Bernard
Closing time.

Scene 02

1 line
Andy Bernard
Every office needs an end of the day tradition. Something to tell you the day is over. Otherwise, you go home and the night just feels like more day. It's weird.

Scene 03

6 lines
Andy Bernard
Closing time
Jim Halpert
(On phone) ...W R K.
Andy Bernard
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey and beer.
Jim Halpert
Uh no it's W R K, as in kitten. Oh my boss is singing Closing Time, maybe that's what you are hearing.
Andy Bernard
Come on pam!
Andy & Pam
(Singing, Pam mumbling lyrics) Closing time, time for you to go home to the places you will be from.

Scene 04

1 line
Pam Beesly
Let's see. Andy has been manager for a hundred and five days. Which means I've heard 'Closing Time' a hundred and five times. (nods and shakes head) Still don't know the words. Tah wa Ta way hm hm home and home and home.

Scene 05

2 lines
Andy Bernard
I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. (Pulls towel through legs) I know who I want to take me home. (Spins Meredith in chair) Take me hooo…hooome! You know what fine! I try to start fun traditions for you guys, but if you don't want to sing… no traditions!
Stanley Hudson
(singing) Closing time every new beginning…

Scene 06

1 line
Stanley Hudson
I've never heard that song before. And once I heard it, I did not care for it, but that song means it's time to go home. Now…it's my favorite song.

Scene 07

2 lines
Andy & Stanley
(singing) Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.
Stanley Hudson
Goodnight.

Scene 08

8 lines
Andy Bernard
Whose your favorite iron chef?
Robert California
(speaking at the same time as andy) This is atrocious.
Andy Bernard
You go first.
Robert California
The ticketing software paints a picture of a sloppy, careless, error prone office.
Andy Bernard
Well the monitoring software is a double edged sword. Sometimes…
Dwight Schrute
(runs in and interrupts) Sorry, go ahead.
Robert California
(to dwight) Did you need something from us?
Dwight Schrute
Wha…Yes. Your attention. Uh because… No that is all. (walks out)

Scene 09

1 line
Dwight Schrute
Last night I dreamed that the number two was the most valued number in the world. The vice president had all the power. Athletes fought for silver medals. Women were considered the best gender. And stadiums of fans shouted "We're number two!'. As with all my dreams, I'm guessing it was about my fear of immigrants.

Scene 10

11 lines
Robert California
Last week an accounting mistake resulted in a client getting their order for free.
Andy Bernard
Umpf…that's not good. Chalk that one up to Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb out there.
Robert California
Who are they?
Andy Bernard
They're both Kevin. Oscar is the Sex and the City gang and Angela, if you can picture…
Robert California
Andrew sometimes I feel like you don't know me at all.
Andy Bernard
I would agree with that.
Robert California
Simply…end the mistakes
Andy Bernard
End the mistakes, easy-
Robert California
When I come back next week and this report shows me no mistakes, we can talk about names, all day. Our favorite names, silly made up names, normal names said in a silly voice. Wouldn't that be nice?
Andy Bernard
I would like that.
Robert California
End the mistakes. That is all I ask. (gets up from chair) And you can't have a favorite Iron Chef. It depends entirely on the secret ingredient. Sometimes I feel you don't know food at all.

Scene 11

Jim Halpert
I'm just saying with the NBA lockout I think roller derby's in a really good place now. So…my pitch is…me, Pam, you and, someone else maybe Justine.
Darryl Philbin
Nahh! (shakes head) No. Not Justine. Never Justine.
Jim Halpert
Is that off again?
Darryl Philbin
Oh yeah.
Jim Halpert
Ok.
Val
Hey, mandatory warehouse safety meeting. Today.
Darryl Philbin
Ahh…We don't really do those. We just sign the thing.
Val
Are you really this lazy?
Darryl Philbin
I'll be there.

Scene 13

10 lines
Dwight Schrute
I may have a little solution to our mistakes problem. This is a project I've been working on for quite some time and today, might be the day to use it.
Andy Bernard
What do you got?
Dwight Schrute
(opens folder) Allow me. You're going to love this. (struggles opening folder) Ugh…should've used a shorter string. Never mind, I know it by heart. It is a system that holds people accountable for everyone else's work.
Andy Bernard
Sounds controversial.
Dwight Schrute
Have I not been worthy of your trust? Have I not been a reliable number two?
Andy Bernard
Do not go there! You're the deuce I never want to drop.
Dwight Schrute
Well, I can make this work. I'll set it up right now. Just need your go ahead.
Andy Bernard
Go do the voodoo that you do so well.
Dwight Schrute
I will do my voodoo.
Andy Bernard
Mmhmmm.

Gabe Lewis
Hey. I need you to get the paperwork rolling on a new workplace relationship.
Toby Flenderson
For you?
Gabe Lewis
Yes. For Gabe.
Toby Flenderson
Who are you seeing? That's gr…
Gabe Lewis
Whom I'm seeing is Val from down in the warehouse.
Toby Flenderson
Oh.
Gabe Lewis
I'm not technically seeing her, but uh I've seen her, with the eyes and uh there was attraction. In at least one direction. So..(holds up fist)
Toby Flenderson
You know I don't have to do the paperwork unless you're actually dating.
Gabe Lewis
Ok, but once this starts, it's going to be moving fast. It's going to be hot and heavy and I don't want a bunch of bureaucratic red tape wrapped around my jock. You know?
Toby Flenderson
But I mean…uh have you talked to her? Is sh…
Gabe Lewis
Yeah we had a whole conversation about Mondays…
Toby Flenderson
Do you know her last name, yet?
Gabe Lewis
Toby I'm going to tell you her last name tomorrow because she's going to be screaming it tonight.
Toby Flenderson
She's going to be screaming her own last name?
Gabe Lewis
Hey! Watch it.
Toby Flenderson
Good luck Gabe.

Andy Bernard
Hi guys. I just wanted to say that, you all have been doing amazing work., really.
Kevin Malone
Thank you.
Andy Bernard
And I'd like to add that your work has been a little sloppy. So, Dwight and I have implemented a new program that we like to call…Dwight…
Dwight Schrute
The accountability booster. It registers every time a mistake has been made in the office. From a late delivery to an accounting error. Five strikes in a day equals a home run. One home run and you're out.
Andy Bernard
If we as a group make five mistakes in a day, something bad happens like we block Minesweeper.
Dwight Schrute
Or in this case an email gets sent to Robert California containing the consultants report from last year. Remember the one that recommended the branch be shutdown? And as a fail-safe also every negative email you've ever written about him to the group will also be forwarded to him.
Kelly Kapoor
What emails are you talking about?
Dwight Schrute
Robert's favorite songs: Creep by TLC, Creep by Radio Head. You remember that one Jim? There is no way he hasn't strangled at least one stripper. Oscar. He eats his yogurt like he is punishing it for disappointing him. Kelly.
Kelly Kapoor
That's not that bad actually.
Dwight Schrute
P.S. We should should kill him.
Jim Halpert
Wait, so you installed a doomsday device?
Dwight Schrute
No, it's an accountability booster.
Jim Halpert
Which when it goes off it destroys everything. Very similar to a doomsday device.
Dwight Schrute
Jim, you're trying to make me sound like some kind of evil maniac. Now the point is that we are now working in an environment where we have accountability to each other. I am confident that you guys are equal to the task.
Kelly Kapoor
Um, no we're not and you are a psycho who is ruining our lives.
Ryan Howard
We can't do this Dwight.
Dwight Schrute
(Everyone angrily disagreeing)Smile…nod. Smile and nod.

Scene 16

1 line
Dwight Schrute
They are making me out to be a Bond villian. I like to think of myself as a brilliant scientist who will stop at nothing to remake the world. Like…not Doctor Moreau someone good. Doctor Frankenstein, Doctor Jekyll, not them. Doctor…

Scene 17

2 lines
Andy Bernard
Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean the thing about this office is, we make a lot of mistakes.
Dwight Schrute
But the device will change that. Without a safety net, people will improve.

Scene 18

7 lines
Andy Bernard
Alright everybody, looks like we need to be getting to work. Be extra careful. Double check everything or the accountability booster will getcha.
Stanley Hudson
This doomsdays device sounds like a scare tactic to me.
Oscar Martinez
There's an easy way to tell if this device is a sham. We just make a mistake. I'll send an order down to shipping before we've received payment.
Dwight Schrute
(alert goes off) Oh, there's one mistake.
Erin Hannon
Now we only have four strikes left until a home run.
Andy Bernard
Dwight's our co-worker and he worked really hard on this doomsday device so I…
Dwight Schrute
It's not a doomsday device, gosh. (Erin makes red strike on desk) We can do this you guys.

Warehouse Crew

Darryl Philbin

Gabe Lewis
It's for protecting my ass. When you suckers lift more than you can handle. Sup, I'm Gabe. Corporate. Continue. Don't be nervous.
Darryl Philbin
Apparently we have a visitor. Gabe, everyone.
Warehouse Crew
Hi, gabe.
Darryl Philbin
All right so the support belt. Now this one is mine. Doesn't get much use nowadays.
Gabe Lewis
Look at this, this is enormous.

Dwight Schrute
Well, I wouldn't say that. Three mistakes already is pretty terrible, but I do see improvement. Meredith kept someone on hold for thirty minutes and now look she's hard at work. (Meredith gives dwight the finger)
Jim Halpert
Dwight, question.
Dwight Schrute
No questions.
Jim Halpert
If this doomsday device goes off...
Dwight Schrute
Accountability booster.
Jim Halpert
If this bad idea goes off and we all lose our jobs. Are you going to feel good about that?
Dwight Schrute
I haven't even considered it. That's how sure I am that this accountability booster is going to work.

Jim Halpert
Nope.
Dwight Schrute
No. Oh shoot. Ha ha ha…You guys are never gonna shut down the machine, ok? But I appreciate your energy and your team work. If you applied this to your regular work, You won't even notice that the device is there, watching you ready to strike.
Kelly Kapoor

Darryl Philbin

Dwight Schrute

Andy Bernard
Ok! Dwight you may now enter your password.
Dwight Schrute

Andy Bernard

Dwight Schrute
You don't deserve to have this branch. Five mistakes in less than a day.
Phyllis Vance
We did our best.
Dwight Schrute
No you didn't, Phyllis. You complained the whole time. You yelled at me. You tried to break into the machine. (everyone interjects) What?!
Erin Hannon
You're a real crumb bum, you know that?
Dwight Schrute
Hey, you can't just change the rules because you don't like the outcome. What about you, Kevin? What about you and your fake task? Can you tell me now where paper comes from?
