Scene 01

1 line
Oscar Martinez
(to camera crew) Can you guys come with me for a minute?

Scene 02

1 line
Oscar Martinez
I know you saw me with the Senator. I think I'm in love, possibly for the first time. So yes, Senator Lipton and I are having an affair. I hope that I can count on your sensitivity, maturity and discretion. (turns to see Kevin has overheard him)...Why?

Scene 03

3 lines
Andy Bernard
Alright, good. Yeah. Just sell it and get the best price you can, okay?
White
Or we can hope for a holiday rally?
Andy Bernard
White, I'm not a day trader, I'm just a first responder in a disaster.

Scene 04

5 lines
Pam Beesly
Andy's family had a total meltdown. His dad blew through all their money and took off to Argentina with a younger woman.
Jim Halpert
And his brother, Walt Jr., locked himself in the wine cellar.
Pam Beesly
The weirdest part is Andy. The aftermath got dumped on him and the way he's been handling it is just..so..
Jim Halpert
Competent.
Pam Beesly
Right?

Scene 05

1 line
Andy Bernard
Are the 'Nard's hurting? Yeah, you bet. Got kicked pretty hard. Family shattered, super sad. But, I'm kinda crushing it in the damage control department. So, that's cool. I wish my dad could see me now. Of course he caused this whole mess, so, (bleep) him.

Scene 06

5 lines
Oscar Martinez
Kevin, listen to me. I'm in love with the Senator. And I need time to sort this out in a responsible matter so I need your help in keeping it a secret because this means the world to me. Ok?
Kevin Malone
That's beautiful. No, I totally get that.
Oscar Martinez
Can you do this, Kevin?
Kevin Malone
I really want to. Whatever happens, always remember that.
Oscar Martinez
I don't know what that means. Hey, hey-

Scene 07

Pam Beesly
(On phone) Oh, great! Yeah, um, I'll get right back to you. (hangs up) Hey guys! Anyone ever heard of Iris Black on the radio?
Creed Bratton
Yeah, she hosts the Dr. Laura Show.
Pam Beesly
Nope, that's Dr. Laura. Well, her show Biz Whiz wants someone from Dunder Mifflin to come on the air today. Does anybody feel particularly passionate about local business issues? (Dwight raises hand)
Dwight Schrute
I do! I do. I do. I do. I do.

Scene 08

1 line
Dwight Schrute
The media can make you famous. And do you have any idea how easy it is to sell something when you're famous? (Pretends to be on phone) “Uh, yeah wow. 10 reams of 40 pound bond at only $690 after discount? Um, whatever you say, Brad Pitt.” It's that easy.

Scene 09

6 lines
Meredith Palmer
Hey, so that good looking single brother of yours? Heard he's on a downward spiral with booze.
Andy Bernard
Yeah. He's in rehab actually.
Meredith Palmer
Which place? The one right near Philly? I could be there in an hour.
Andy Bernard
No, it's in New Mexico.
Meredith Palmer
Oh...So..- how are you holding up?
Andy Bernard
We're done Meredith.

Dwight Schrute
(wagging tongue for voice exercises) blah blah blah, rat tat tat tittle tattled and prattled on about the little metal bottle, she spat a bit of spittle...(Group protests)
Jim Halpert
Dwight!
Dwight Schrute
...In a bitter battle..Hey, hey! Stop questioning my methods, OK? I was chosen for this task for a very good reason.
Jim Halpert
No, you chose yourself.
Dwight Schrute
(walking away) Tricky siskel spat a bit of wicked biscuit....

Scene 11

19 lines
Andy Bernard
Alright, guys. A lot of assets here that my dad couldn't steal. Now, first of all, there is the family boat. 43 foot Tartan Sloop. My lawyer has lined up a buyer in the Bahamas, the sale would cover the cost of a condo and living expenses for my mom.
Darryl Philbin
Sounds great.
Oscar Martinez
Perfect.
Andy Bernard
Totally, except it is a no go. This boat was the heart and soul of the family. So...what else we got? Non-boat ideas. (Oscar looks outside conference room at Kevin and Angela at the copier)
Kevin Malone
What happened?
Angela Martin
Jammed. This day couldn't get worse. (Kevin laughs)
Kevin Malone
Yeah, I think this day could get worse.
Angela Martin
What does that mean?
Oscar Martinez
Kevin!
Kevin Malone
(to Angela) I don't know what you're talking about. (Thumbs up Oscar)
Erin Hannon
She could get like sixty packages of Ramen noodles for five bucks. She could eat for a month.
Andy Bernard
Alright, what's the grand total? Did we make our nut?
Darryl Philbin
If we sell everything but the boat, your mom should be set for about six months.
Andy Bernard
Guys, you don't understand, this boat's been in our family since before I was born.
Erin Hannon
Don't you guys have that place where you used to spend your summers and have all those memories?
Darryl Philbin
I worked at a Jiffy Lube.
Erin Hannon
See? I bet you wouldn’t sell that Jiffy Lube for all the money in the world. Would you Darryl?
Darryl Philbin
I would if I owned it and I went broke.
Andy Bernard
Alright, uh...alright. I'm gonna tell the lawyer to pull the trigger on the boat.

Scene 12

1 line
Andy Bernard
Yes the boat means everything to my family, but we need the money. Got the memories, don't need the boat. Can't cry about it. What are you gonna do? Cry about it? (chokes up) Excuse me.

Scene 13

4 lines
Pam Beesly
(On phone) Oh, OK. No problem. Thanks. Hey guys, WPTU called. The interview's off. They're opening a new cupcake store at the Steamtown Mall and Iris wants to cover that, so...
Nellie Bertram
Well why don't I go and tell Dwight so he can stop being such a complete nipple.
Pam Beesly
He's gonna be disappointed.
Jim Halpert
Yes. He is. And you know what? We cannot let that happen.

Scene 14

Pete Miller
Fax?
Erin Hannon
Oh yeah, just. Watermelon teeth. This isn't how I would cheer up just anyone. But, it's a girlfriend's job to know her man and I know Andy. (laughs) He's seriously juvenile.
Pete Miller
Cool. He's like 40 though, right?
Erin Hannon
Oh no, he couldn't be more than late thirty's. Tops.
Pete Miller
Awesome. Have fun.

Erin Hannon
(muffled by watermelon teeth) Hey! My teeth are all this stuff in my mouth. (laughs)

Ok. (signs paper) thanks.

Scene 17

Angela Martin
Kevin, we're out of 11-38 forms. Did you order more?
Kevin Malone
I... did not.
Angela Martin
I don't know why I'm surprised. Literally nothing you do could surprise me anymore.
Kevin Malone
(laughing in Oscar's direction) Oh really, Angela? That's interesting. Cause I do think that I could surprise you. I think that I could surprise you..oh! (Oscar makes sound trying to get him to shut up) I have to go to the bathroom!
Angela Martin
That doesn't surprise me.

Andy Bernard
Look, it's not that I don't want-
Erin Hannon
Ok, come on. I got someone to cover the phones, I heard on the radio about a new cupcake place we could go for dessert...perfect.
Andy Bernard
All I ever wanted to do was sail the damn thing. But dad wouldn't let me. Said “You can't be a skipper until you're a man.” You know, I'd reach for the wheel and he'd smack my hand away. Well guess what? Now I'm the man of the family and... we're selling the damn thing. So I'm never gonna have the chance.
Erin Hannon
Well, when does the boat leave, exactly?
Andy Bernard
Tonight.
Erin Hannon
Then screw lunch. Let's go for a sunset sail.
Andy Bernard
Yeah right. It's in Stamford, Connecticut. We have to leave like right now.
Erin Hannon
Ok, well then let's leave like right now.
Andy Bernard
Yeah, ok.
Erin Hannon
Yeah! OK! Let's go.
Andy Bernard
Seriously?
Erin Hannon
Of course, seriously. Get your coat on.
Andy Bernard
Alright.
Erin Hannon
Alright.
Andy Bernard
Let's do it.
Erin Hannon
Let's do it!

Dwight Schrute
(On speakerphone) Iris, let me tell you. David Wallace is the CEO, but he's not hands on.
Nellie Bertram
(As Iris) So the day-to-day operations are entirely under your command?
Dwight Schrute
Entirely is the perfect way to describe it, Iris.
Nellie Bertram
Uh, excuse me. (reading card held up by Jim) I'm being told by my sound engineer, Steve that uh there is a clinking sound coming from your end. Does your shirt have buttons?
Dwight Schrute
Yes..?
Nellie Bertram
(Jim mimes taking shirt off) I'm so sorry we're going to have to ask you to remove the shirt all together.
Dwight Schrute
(Takes shirt off) Now then, we were saying. When my workers-gather-
Nellie Bertram
Oh, I'm so sorry. I am told we are still having problems Mr. Shrute. (Jim holds up card that says “Now Pants”) Your voice, it's sounding a little feminine.
Dwight Schrute
That's impossible.
Nellie Bertram
Are you by any chance wearing pants with a metallic zipper?

Scene 24

Angela Martin
The Senator is exhausted. This campaign is wearing him out.
Oscar Martinez
That's a tough one.
Angela Martin
That man he's up against is so dirty. And the senator's just pushing back as hard as he can.
Kevin Malone
Please, stop.
Angela Martin
What?
Kevin Malone
Please, stop.
Angela Martin
Anyways, last night he was tired and just wanted a little Mexican brought in. (Kevin laughs)
Kevin Malone
(Getting up to leave) I can't, it's too much! (laughing)

Scene 28

Oscar Martinez
(looking at folder he brought Toby)It's clearly not an accounting mistake.
Toby Flenderson
Yeah.
Oscar Martinez

Toby Flenderson

Oscar Martinez
Well, you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

Scene 29

Dwight Schrute
This is slander, Ms. Black. Slander I say! (Pam tells Jim to leave the conference room) I dare you to produce one credible source about this.
Nellie Bertram
Well, as it happens we have with us the foreman of your upstate New York paper mill, Sandra Mc...Sandra Mick (points to Pam)
Pam Beesly
(changing voice) Good afternoon Iris, it's a pleasure.
Nellie Bertram
Let's get straight to the point. Is your paper toxic?
Pam Beesly
No the paper's not toxic.
Dwight Schrute
Thank you Sandra!
Pam Beesly
Unless it's exposed to oxygen. Then it becomes extremely toxic!
Dwight Schrute
Do not listen to her! This employee is obviously disgruntled! (Jim runs panicked into break room)
Jim Halpert
What the heck is going on?! The stock prices are plummeting! Are you gonna take control of the message or do I have to send in someone who understands the media?!
Dwight Schrute
Get out of here moron! (Jim leaves)
Nellie Bertram
Excuse me, Mr. Dwight, who are you talking to?
Dwight Schrute
uhhhh....no one.
Nellie Bertram
Did you just call Ms. Mick a moron?
Dwight Schrute
No, everything's fine.
Nellie Bertram
Are you insulting my guests?
Dwight Schrute
(chokes up)

Kevin Malone
(on phone) Yeah, I will be right there. Hey Oscar, what if I'm getting a promotion?
Oscar Martinez
I hope that's it, Kevin.

Oh, you're right I'm so sorry. Snack machine on me. (gives Kevin money)

Oscar Martinez
Those figures I gave you? They're false.
Toby Flenderson
How?
Oscar Martinez
I was mad at Kevin, we had a fight and I acted vindictively.
Toby Flenderson
So you set him up.
Oscar Martinez
Yes, he's innocent.
Toby Flenderson
I knew it. I knew it from the beginning it was possible.
Oscar Martinez
What are you talking about? I just did this now.
Toby Flenderson
A few years ago, when I was on the jury of the Scranton Strangler..
Oscar Martinez
Sure.
Toby Flenderson
I always thought he might have been set up but I felt pressured to convict.
Oscar Martinez
That's gotta be tough.
Toby Flenderson
Tough? I put an innocent man on death row.

Scene 33

Nellie Bertram
The fallout from this morning's revelation continues to mount, since Mr. Dwight Shrute began speaking, Dunder Mifflin share prices fell 73%. Mr. Shrute, shareholders demand accountability from corporate leadership. Can we announce your resignation at this time?

My resignation? What are you talking about? No! I was just following orders! Listen, the person responsible for this catastrophe is the CEO and chairman, David Wallace!

Andy Bernard
Ok.
Erin Hannon

It raises the main sail. That was my job when we went sailing.
Erin Hannon
I wish I had seen you do it.
Andy Bernard
Really?
Erin Hannon
Yeah.
Andy Bernard
(Begins raising sail) Up she goes!
Boat Guy
Don't do that. Don't do that.
Andy Bernard
Oh, it's OK. My girlfriend and I were actually gonna take her for a little spin and a picnic before you guys head out tonight. You know what? Get some dinner on me.
Boat Guy
Nope. Can't do that.
Andy Bernard
You got it. You know what then, we'll just take it for a quick little spin around the harbor. (begins raising sail, boat guy slaps his hand)
Boat Guy
We've already started boarding. And no one is insured to rig her up right now except us.
Andy Bernard
You know what? Chill, ok? I own the boat. Not gonna sue myself. Alright, so just- (Raises sail, guys slaps hand again) wow.

OK.
Andy Bernard

Well, we're doing it. We're finally having a picnic on the boat.
Andy Bernard
I've had a thousand picnics on this boat. The point was for me to sail it.
Erin Hannon
Andy, you never had to sail the boat to be a man.
Andy Bernard
Fine. But I could have.
Erin Hannon
As long as we're on this boat, as far as I'm concerned, you're the captain.
Andy Bernard
I am the captain.
Erin Hannon
Yeah.
Andy Bernard
Right?
Erin Hannon
Yeah.
Andy Bernard
I'm the captain. (to boat guy) Hey, charm school.

Andy Bernard
I'm taking it over from here.
Erin Hannon
Nice!
Boat Guy
I hate to uh, ruin this moment...or breakdown, but you already signed the papers. So, if you want your boat back, you can pick it up there in the Bahamas in 10 days.
Andy Bernard
Yeah, I know cause I'm sailing it there.
Boat Guy
OK, no. I already said, you're not getting back your deposit.
Andy Bernard
Fine. Good. Keep it. Just leave the supplies, I paid for those. But how much for that cool fisherman sweater?

Jim Halpert
(using black voice) Good afternoon! (Darryl smacks his arm)
Dwight Schrute
Please sir! Spare him. Please.
Jim Halpert
Uh, this Wallace guy is lookin' at hard time. And we only know this because of what Dwight Snoot said on record!
Dwight Schrute
Ok, everyone. Everyone, hold on! I've got a solution. I know Wallace's phone number, everyone hold, I'll conference him in.

Walt Jr.
Oh god, thank goodness you're here. I was having a little trouble with this door. Yesterday. I um, I think it was yesterday.
Andy Bernard
I thought you were in rehab.
Walt Jr.
Yeah, uh, I just, I figured I'd get that first relapse out of the way. God, what's happened to our family? Everything is so messed up! How did you even know I was in here?
Andy Bernard
I didn't. I, I just came to say goodbye to the boat. But I've decided to sail it to Bermuda.
Erin Hannon
Bahamas, Andy.

Dwight Schrute
You're welcome, sir. But David, listen to me carefully. I'm gonna need you to let the mailman go. Ok?
David Wallace
Dwight?
Dwight Schrute
Walk out of the house...
David Wallace
What?
Dwight Schrute
...with your hands on top of your head, everything is going to be fine. Dunder Mifflin will be in good hands while you're away in prison.

Angela Martin
Why on earth would you think you were getting a promotion?
Kevin Malone
You know what Angela? I- Oh my god. (Senator enters)
Angela Martin
Honey! What are you doing here?
The Senator
I just had a little intuition that someone I loved needed a little bit of attention today. Oscar, you're looking very healthy. Getting lots of vigorous exercise? (touches Oscar's shoulder. Oscar jumps away quickly)
Oscar Martinez
No.
Angela Martin
Oscar? What is going on? What was that?
The Senator
What was that? I'm sorry, I didn't mean any offense. I was just trying to be friendly.
Oscar Martinez
You know what? I'm sorry. I overreacted. Because I'm stressed out. Why am I stressed out? Who's not stressed out? Who's not stressed out? Who-
Kevin Malone
Come on Oscar, we're not just gonna sit here and ignore the obvious. Senator Lipton has a big election next week. We all need to give him our support. (claps, group joins)
