JENNA [00:00:41] Wow. Well, I reached out to our line producer Kent Zbornak. And it was-. ANGELA [00:25:47] OK. And I had a fan question from Madeline Ethington. ANGELA [00:46:15] Not true. But I did, you know, we did a lot of it just online. JENNA [00:10:41] So in the United States. In the Mediterranean Italy is allied with a friendly Spain. Aww, hes so cute. "0I2m-Y(,|s0Y@nX({Pevs&l ewN Zc= k[fk~G@p{{sHwnB{4WATfU9~~}Q(_4?c`WG|b;5p2RH(VDbE}AwKyd;f-nt:;& ~/q3%J!uJ6FyO+e~0Ehb=] Mnh'?QNfr`V2:CJ(Lp\5,?o@ oCsk`P"iu,]jxgZ[ RqtvS2'qF?U]v1z+bSl]tI>Aulr >hV(-a6'~/f~ebWc6\bub6mQNHcZ;Id ANGELA [00:15:27] Who is standing by accounting. And I misspelled in front of the entire school the word failure.. << /Length 8 0 R /Type /XObject /Subtype /Form /FormType 1 /BBox [0 0 612 792] And if my memory serves, they had the dummies sort of way towards the back. JENNA [00:25:01] He also puts himself in this position of expert. I was wrong. It made me laugh on the day. And as a result, he has to give a speech in front of a thousand people. ANGELA [00:49:16] We're watching the music video. ANGELA [00:33:58] And he's gonna show him an example of that. I don't think it doesn't even mean anything. And what is playing as they walk through? JENNA [00:59:22] Oh, I know why. The Greek successes do not go out of the tactical field and only megalomania has magnified them. She sees through their charade. ANGELA [01:02:37] Super charming. ANGELA [00:32:34] We're always in suits and the lights do like warm up the stage but they cranked the air down so the guys wouldn't get sweaty in their suits. I don't know. ANGELA [01:03:25] I mean, this is so telling. Pam looks at the camera. That's what he's saying in Mandarin. 9'``A(n)6)lJ7_ All right. JENNA [00:40:09] Creed says he should go to Hong Kong. The paper in front of him does have a copy of the speech, because Wilson believed that's what Dwight would have done. Michael: Two years in a row. Dwight: Is that an insult, or is that part of the public speaking advice? Sometimes they would have us do that. But there's more. JENNA [00:13:19] This is fascinating. Basically, Rainn was sick. Then Pam goes on about how its obvious that Kelly likes him, so show some sympathy. On the first take, the crowd reacted too enthusiastically to Dwight's speech. They can't, how can they be? He leaves. JENNA [00:08:44] And I was suddenly had to work. And it is I don't know how to describe it. Sixth, Great Britain is alone. (Both nights!). Dwight later reveals that he will be going to New Zealand to "walk the Lord of the Rings trail to Mordor and I will hike Mount Doom. JENNA [00:55:46] This is how you're going to be most authentic. JENNA [01:04:48] What's next week's episode? He also brought it up in a deleted scene from "The Client" where he says his worst first date took place at Cugino's Pizza. This is our duty to change their perception. JENNA [00:39:49] I don't know. I'll give you advice. And we stayed there as well. JENNA [00:58:39] "At 20 minutes and 25 seconds when Michael and Dwight are sitting at the bar, you can see a man in the background dressed like a wizard. So, yes, they do have irons and ironing boards. Blackshirts of Rome! ANGELA [00:44:11] How do you describe the Eye of Sauron? ANGELA [00:45:27] No. I mean. Have you ever asked yourselves in an hour of meditation, which every one finds during the day, how long we have been at war. And then I think because the ball's going so slow, I usually there's like one or two left. The lie is that the Axis powers, after they finish Great Britain, want to attack America. Great Britain cannot win the war. I didn't find him. It has been a lifetime struggle, a never-ending fight, I say to you and you will understand that it is a privilege to fight. Notable cut scenes include Dwight coming to work wearing sunglasses, Michael criticizing Dwight's speaking skills, Dwight trying to tell another joke to the office, Ryan bringing the wrong type of stamps for Pam's wedding invitations, and an extended scene of Michael's unfunny and very awkward speech.[6]. JENNA [00:56:54] He really is. So Jim steals the ball. Where are we filming? And uh get out of town for awhile, and go someplace not here. To state as they do that their losses in the battle of sixty days in Cyrenaica are not above 2,000 dead and wounded means adding a grotesque note to the drama. ANGELA [00:53:57] Michael's like, "Oh my God, they like it". This is also when Oscar tells Jim that his time in Key West might be available. ANGELA [00:45:44] 11 minutes, 3 seconds, Jim does a prank on Dwight. We'll bleep this out, this is what I wrote my note, "He ***s the bed". "[5], During the earlier scenes when Dwight is in Michael's office, Pam can be seen in the background talking to Meredith. So next, we cut to Pam's desk and she is on the phone with her mom and she says, "Mom, I don't. Doom. Not only the years we've been at war - the war of work - but from the moment as a child, when we realize that the world could be conquered. And this was due to a scheduling conflict with the season finale of "Skating with Celebrities". ", "I say, and you all feel, that it is a privilege to fight with them. Let it be said once for all that the Italian soldiers in Albania combated superbly. :]. yeah, i dont know, i didnt think it was a great episode, some parts, but not the great overall episodes like i felt the ones before the break were. And I remember that the audience, the the extras, the 400 extras kept getting tickled at Steve. The folks at TiVo said the audience reaction charts looked like an electrocardiogram. Gotta agree that this episode didnt rank very highly among my favs. You could be a little bit more sensitive. ANGELA [00:38:21] Well, thank you for that. Ryan talking about the monotony of Jims life ANGELA [00:25:44] He saved it for ta bit. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. This episode may not be up to standerd, but it was the episode that got my into the office. So that's the hat that we went with. We are finally in the kitchen with Jim and Pam, and they are finally bantering again like old times. The Universal Studios Sheraton Hotel stood in for the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton. Eventually Dwight comes out and he finds him and he starts telling him a story about. Stop public interrupting me". ANGELA [00:03:00] They hated our corner. Dwight announces that there has been a major car accident on the interstate. I love that.

ANGELA [00:11:14] I don't. stream Rainn Wilson tried to improvise Dwight's speech but was advised to stick to the script. Ping Angela feigns illness so she can take a sick day to record Dwight's speech. Michael: But seriously, whats the difference between a salesman and a saleswoman? ANGELA [00:55:50] He kills it. I took Ryans response to Pam at face value; simply, that he was annoyed at Kelly and wanted to shut her down. ANGELA [01:01:18] So I guess I guess then Rainn and Steve improvised this whole thing that it was like a cosplay convention. Why waste time watch many show when one show do trick? Jim eats the same ham and cheese sandwich every day for lunch. Then the blockade was a terrible weapon in the hands of Great Britain. I was like, "Yeah. Dwight: They are either going to say yes. I wrote that in my diary. It is highly ridiculous to count on the eventual moral breakdown of the Italian people. JENNA [01:05:29] For ad-free versions of the show and our bonus episodes, "Candy bag". Michael hurls the football all the way to accounting, whereKevincatches it and tosses it back.

Dwight: What was the ninth place prize again? Young people, TiVo was like a VCR. Dwight: What if I give a really long extended thank you? JENNA [00:22:21] Oh, thats from Jim's talking head. You get some great quotes out of those scenes. OK. There were a lot of extras. And Michael's like and really, really just brings the room totally down but really earnest and Michael's like, "Oh, OK. All right. Audience: FOR IT IS TOGETHER THAT WE PREVAIL! Creeds shout out in Mandarin (I made out friend and how are you and not much else) ANGELA [00:19:56] But we didn't have that.

He said, "When I was in Germany in 1964, I conversed in a rudimentary fashion because I'd studied a year in college". JENNA [00:28:35] They were the most fun to me. Blackshirts of Rome!

It's very interesting to me that you take the time to line it up and you do the thing.
