The Office - S02E07 "The Client"

Hey, have they left for the big meeting yet? I got Michael's lucky tie.
No, they're in the conference room.
Okay.
Wait. Are those Michael's Levi's?
Yeah. Who dry-cleans jeans?
Michael and his jeans.
He gets in them, and I'm not exactly sure what happens,
but I can tell you he loves the way he looks in those jeans.
I know that's why he started Casual Fridays.
I'll take those. Thanks.
This is a projection of the county's needs.
Wow. Graphs and charts.
So...
Somebody's really been doing their homework.
Looks like USA Today.
Thirteen schools, two hospitals...
So, this possible client they're talking about, actually a big deal.
It's Lackawanna County, our whole county.
And if we get this, they might not have to downsize our branch.
And I could work here for years.
And years.
And years.
So when we get to the Radisson,
I would like to... Oh, I changed it to Chili's.
Excuse me?
Radisson, it just gives out this vibe.
It's like, "Oh, I'm doing business at the Radisson. "
It's kind of snooty. So...
You had no right to do that, Michael.
Here's the thing. "Chili's is the new golf course.
"It's where business happens. "
Small Businessman Magazine.
It said that?
It will. I sent it in. Letter to the editor.
All right. But you will let me run this meeting.
Power trip.
What?
She had done a background check on me. She had it printed out.
No. Yeah.
And she was asking me about stuff, line by line, while we were having dinner.
That is unbelievable.
What's going on?
We are doing worst first dates.
Oh, my God, I win.
Okay, it was a minor league hockey game,
he brought his brother,
and when I went to the bathroom,
the game ended and they forgot about me.
Okay, that's a joke.
No, they had to come back for me.
Wait, when was this?
Um...
It was not that long ago.
Wait, not Roy. Say it's not your fiance.
I always knew Pam has refused to go to sports games with Roy,
but I never knew why.
Interesting.
Okay, let's do this thing. Wish us luck.
Good luck, Michael. Good luck, Jan.
Thank you. Kiss ass.
Okay, probably going to go late tonight, burning the midnight tequila.
So, I think you all could just take off now.
Michael, this shouldn't take more than an hour.
Well... Do you always shut down the entire office
when you leave for an hour?
No, no. That would not be efficient.
Actually, they just don't get very much work done when I'm not here.
That's not true, I know how to delegate.
And they do more work when I'm not here.
Not more.
The same amount of work is done, whether I'm here or not.
Hey, everybody, listen up!
This is what we're gonna do. You sit tight until I return.
Sound good? Doesn't matter, it's an order.
Follow it blindly.
Okay.
All right, ciao. Adios!
So which way is Chili's?
I'll drive.
No, that's all right. I wanna leave straight from there.
It is just a couple blocks away, so...
Boy, you really don't know Scranton, do you?
I know Scranton. At all!
All right... Have you ever been to Scranton, Jan?
If it's a couple of blocks away, we can go together.
Okay.
Jan Levinson-Gould. Jan is cold.
If she was sitting across from you on a train and she wasn't moving,
you might think she was dead.
We should come up with a signal of some sort.
Why would we need a signal?
Well, in case one of us gets into trouble, the other one can signal...
What kind of trouble are you planning on getting in, Michael?
Well, it could be either of us.
