TV- The Office: Broke

air date- 4/23

Missed Thursday's episode "Broke" so Rob and I watched it using the DVR last night. Genius comedy, Dunder-Mifflin style. The Michael Scott Paper Co. is broke. Watching Michael, Ryan, and Pam face the imbroglio of their situation is comedic, more so when Dunder Mifflin executive, David Wallace, decides they can't lose any more clients to Michael's gang and decides to offer them a buy-out.

Turns out the dysfunctional personalities at the Scranton branch actually thrive under the dysfunctional leadership of the one and only Michael Scott (Steve Carrell is genius as that character). Instead of the buy-out, Michael bargains for his job back and jobs for Pam and Ryan letting Wallace know "our balls are in your court." Oh my.

Last week's quote that has stuck with me, in reference to the color-coding on Michael's rolodex: "Green. Green means go ahead and shut-up about it. Orange. Orange means orange you glad you didn't say that." The quote ended with something about the fact that mostly the colors generally mean you don't talk about that information." Dwight's card in the box says, "tall, beets". Love it.
