1. Wikipedia is like dropping an A-bomb of knowledge on someone.
2. How do I feel about this party? Do you mean the part where Kwanzaa is forced upon the virtue of the birth of baby Jesus? or the part where Pam makes it into a stripper-nightclub whore party?
3. I’m not trying to romance Oscar, Jim.
These three lines alone automatically make this funnier than "Dunder Mifflin Infinity" and "Launch Party" in my book! I usually stray away from script-format stories, but this is absolutely fabulous and oh-so in character!! I can't wait for more!! --CH
Author's Response: First let me say that I'm a big fan of yours Becky215! So with that out of the way....rnrnI'm glad that you liked those lines, and it's funny but I actually usually stay away from script-format stories as well. I like to delve into the thoughts and feelings of the characters (see my 50,000 opus 'Devil and Angel' for further proof) but when I thought of this idea, I just saw it as an episode. So, I decided to write it that way. I'm glad that you gave it a chance, and that you thought it was funny. Thanks for the review Becky215.

Wow. This is great. You really have their voices down... I mean, I can see this happening. Great work.
Author's Response: Again, thank you for the kind words about getting the voices. I try to do that above everything else, so I'm glad that you thought I succeeded. You being able to see it happening is exactly what I'm trying to do. Thanks for the review tv_dream.

I really liked it! You captured everyone's voices so well. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: I have to...write...that is probably the highest compliment a review can have for me. Of course it's important to be funny, and to, you know, spell words correctly, but I think the most important thing is to get the voices down. So, I'm glad that you found them realistic, and thank you for the review NanReg.

I'm calling Greg Daniels and telling him you stole this script from the season 4 files. :)
This is BRILLIANT! I'm dying of laughter over here.
Author's Response: Haha, well we can call it even if The Office has a Christmas episode this year. I figure its tradition...and an excuse to do another episode with a party. Thank you for the kind words, and the review Cousin Mose!

Yay for Jim helping Dwight! Also, your cold open was fantastic. And of course... Pam + Wikipedia + Michael = unbeatable. There should be more of that.
Author's Response: I'm glad that you liked the Cold Open, it was actually an idea I had for an entirely different fic that I decided not to write and so I used it for this story instead. Yes, Jim helping Dwight is the B Plot of the episode, and I hope a lot of fun. I really like their weirdly helpful/aggressive interactions, so hopefully I'll capture a bit of that. Thanks for the review mirrorkate.

LOL!!! You have such a great Michael voice- well, such a great Entire Office voice really!! I love how Michael turns Ryan's annoyance with him into "Ryan is a racist." And "Wikipedia is like dropping an A bomb of knowledge"!!! LOL!! Seriously, are you sure Greg Daniels doesn't have you on staff somewhere?
Can't wait for Act 2!
Author's Response: Oh, how I wish that Greg Daniels had me on staff! No, sadly, it's just me and my laptop. I'm glad that you liked some of the lines, the "Wikipedia is like dropping an A-bomb on someone" is one of my favorites too (if I do say so myself). Thanks for the review missmargaret.
