INT. THE OFFICE-JIM'S DESK
Jim is sitting quietly at his desk when Michael walks out of his office and over to him.
MICHAEL
Jimmy Neutron!
JIM
Haven't heard that one in awhile.
MICHAEL
Put it on the shelf. But I thought it was
time it came out of retirement. Like Brett
FAV-REE.
JIM
(pronouncing it correctly)
Favre.
MICHAEL
Not spelled like that.
JIM
(sighing)
We're gonna talk about this again?
MICHAEL
Sorry. Just don't get it.
(looks at Dwight's desk)
Where's Dwight?
JIM
Oh... uh...
(glances at camera)
I think he went out to let off some steam.
I think you hurt his feelings in the meeting.
MICHAEL
Oh, for..! He started it. I can't believe he's
upset! (beat) Well, that's his problem. I'm
the boss and he's the... guy... that works...
under the boss.
JIM
Employee.
MICHAEL
Right. Well.. he's gotta deal. Not my
problem.
Michael looks defiantly at the camera. Jim looks at him and leans back in his chair. Michael stands for a moment and then starts to shift.
MICHAEL
He was... really upset?
JIM
(practically not letting Michael finish his sentence)
Really upset, yes.
MIchael sighs and rolls his eyes.
MICHAEL
Well... I have to make a snack run anyway.
He likes the Hersheys without nuts right?
The female ones?
(smiles to camera)
JIM
Nope. With nuts.
MICHAEL
I thought it was without. I always
get that wrong.
JIM
Yep.
MICHAEL
(sighing again)
Alright... lemme go...
Michael walks towards the main door and leaves. Just then Dwight comes from the back and heads over to Michael's office. Seeing that he is not there he goes to his desk.
JIM
Take care of that problem?
DWIGHT
(rolling eyes)
Yes. ( beat) I think so. (beat)
With Kelly you can't be too sure.
(shakes head)
Where's Michael?
JIM
Oh, um... he was still kinda upset with
you... the meeting. You know. So he went
out for awhile.
DWIGHT
(alarmed)
He did? And he was aggravated with me?
JIM
Yep.
DWIGHT
(looking really alarmed now)
How... How would you categorize him?
Was he annoyed, really mad... or beyond
incensed?
JIM
Hm. I'd say he was.... 90% really mad
with a 10% chance of beyond incensed.
DWIGHT
Dammit.
(stares at his desk for a moment and then at Jim)
Wendy's frosty?
JIM
Reading my mind.
DWIGHT
On it.
Dwight leaps up and heads for the main doors as Jim smiles to the camera.
JIM TALKING HEAD
JIM
As the number two It's my job to... bring
warring factions in this office together...
(brings hands together until fingers are interlocking)
even if they don't know they were...
warring factions.
(smiles to camera)
INT. THE OFICE-JIM AND DWIGHT'S DESK
Jim is sitting at his desk when Michael enters holding a Walgreens bag. Dwight, who is seated at his desk, stands. He is holding a small Wendy's bag. Michael approaches slowly.
MICHAEL
Dwight.
DWIGHT
Michael.
MICHAEL
I, uh... picked up some.. Hershey's bars
for you. The big ones.
(gives bag to Dwight)
DWIGHT
(touched)
Oh! Thank you! I, um...
(handing Michael the Wendy's bag)
I got you a Wendy's frosty. Chocolate.
MICHAEL
(smiling)
Awesome! Wow.
(beat)
Um.. thanks.
DWIGHT
Yes. Thank YOU.
There is a slightly awkward pause as both men look at each other and then around. Jim leans back in his chair and looks at both men, clearly amused.
MICHAEL
Alright. Cool. Think I'll...dig in.
DWIGHT
Ok.
Michael goes into his office and shuts the door. Dwight sits back down and the holds the Walgreens bag aloft to JIm, looking triumphant.
JIM
Yeah, look at you.
DWIGHT
See, Jim? THESE are the spoils of being a
good worker.
JIM
They're spoiled? Wow, that's too bad.
DWIGHT
(rolling eyes)
Joke all you like. But I have a bag full of
chocolate for being an exemplary, model
employee and what do you have? Nothing.
JIM
Nope, I guess not.
DWIGHT
(chiding)
Being a slacker has it's disadvantages...
(looks in bag)
Oh, man. These have nuts in them.
I hate these.
JIM
(shaking head)
He never remembers that.
DWIGHT
(bummed)
What am I going to do with these?
JIM
Hey, uh... I'll take 'em off your hands.
No point in wasting them.
Dwight hands the bag over to Jim who pulls out a Hershey's bar and tears the paper off. He takes a bite.
JIM
Mmmmm. That's good.
DWIGHT
See? You work hard, you get rewarded.
JIM
(taking another bite while he looks at the camera)
Lesson learned, Dwight.
