[Erin]

Dunder Mifflin, this is Erin. He's not available right now. Uh-huh. Yes. Sure, I'll give him the message when he gets up— Gets back!


[Jim]

Michael had chicken pot pie for lunch. Actually, let me rephrase that. Michael had an entire chicken pot pie for lunch. Let me be more specific. Michael ate an entire, family-sized chicken pot pie for lunch and then he promptly fell asleep. So we're all trying to be very quiet so as to not wake him up before five PM, which actually should be in about... Ten minutes.


Okay, I'm gonna go in there and change the computer. Are you sure you can change his watch?


[Pam]

I can do it.


[Dwight]

What do you need from me?


Normally I don't condone leaving early, but I have an appointment with the horse doctor. How that horse became a doctor, I don't know. No, I'm kidding. He's just a regular doctor who shoots your horse in the head when its leg is broken.


Like clockwork.


[Michael]

What's so funny?


[Pam]

You had to be there.


[Michael]

Oh okay, geography joke. Oh my—oh wow, okay. Alright, let's all go home. Come on. See you all tamale.*


See you later!


[Dwight]

Goodbye, Michael!


*This is a play on words. He is saying 'see you all tomorrow' and playfully replaced 'tomorrow' with the Spanish word 'tamale'.
