ANGELA huffs. Sure, she’s getting what she wanted, but it’d be nice if he felt that strongly about not hurting other people’s pets, too.
LOL!!!!!
I loved the Michael/Dwight vs Toby argument. That was so good.
Author's Response: Poor Angela. Rough season for her, really.
Lol, thank you. I'm always nervous about how these talking-over-each-other moments are going to translate written.

Chapter titles - they often get overlooked but not this one - I thought it was brilliant - so so funny.
How Michael turns this against Toby well that seemed about right.
Pam and Jim are just enjoying this so much too. Field day for Jim - although since it's maybe a little too easy for him- wouldn't that negate some of the enjoyment -nah - still fun.
Oh popcorn a nice touch too.
Author's Response: One of the fun things about breaking this up into beats was the chance to do a whole separate line of jokes with the chapter titles. This was neat.
Oh, Toby. You'd feel bad for him, except this is Season 4, and also he's just blatantly giving up on doing his job.
I do think there's not much sport in this one for Jim... but he does get the fun bonus of Dwight being completely unable to respond, so that helps.
Popcarn.

Michael and Dwight talking over each other! It takes both of them to complete one side of a two way conversation.
Toby making sure his butt is covered and evidence is maintained to assign legal liability. Toby has such high hopes his testimony will eventually end up in a SCOTUS decision.
Author's Response: Glad you felt like that worked! I can always hear those really clearly in my head, but I'm not sure it translates on paper.
Oh, Toby. He was truly checked out during this season.

I LOVE that Jim and Pam are sitting there eating popcorn. Also that Jim keeps grabbing things from Dwight's pockets and such. Such a classic Jim thing to do. Kind of like when he "pranked" Dwight by pushing him over when Dwight had a cane hidden in his trousers during the standing desk phase. Simple but effective.
So much great fun with this one.
Author's Response: Oh, yeah. This one doesn't require much creativity on this part, I think. Dwight's pranked himself, Jim's just picking low hanging fruit. Like his attempt to train his feet.
