This is a transcript of The Newlywed Show, taped in December 2009.
10 OMG this is such a funny idea - I love the Newlywed Game. :-D the couples are just perfect too. And I love the question that Jim and Pam got wrong. :-)
and definitely another whoopie question for the wives! Something along the lines of "Wives, answer this question. 'If I were to compare my husband's style of making whoopie with an animal, he would be a: a tiger, a bear, an English sheepdog, or a kitten...."
I'll leave the rest to you!!
10 awww......just lovely! I totally agree there is much fun to be had with together Jam in season 4!!!
Author's Response: Let's hope! Here's to season 4!
10 Well, well done! I could read this chapter over and over and over again..... Ha, actually I have! And I will do so again - I love your Jim/Pam fluff - that's why I'm always trying to find a reason to get you to write more of it!!!
Nicely done, my dear!
10 Aiiii!!! And that's when she should have packed an overnight bag and drove immediately to Stamford. But who listens to me??
Looking forward to 2 and 3!!
LOL! How I wish she would have - but even FNB moves at a snail's pace.
Soon!!!
10 I don't know whether it's the juxtaposition of images or what, but the dream descriptions are just totally awesome. Really. I can feel the sense of panic Pam would be feeling when she was having them.
And Angela was perfect. And hysterical.
I just wish I'd heard what Pam finally said to Jim!!!!! (tease!)
She said, "Listen you stupid schmuck. I know I said the wrong thing last May but I was about to get married for God's sake. And then you came back with the pantsuit queen so what was I gonna do?? Moron. Even Roy knows we belong together. How's that for irony?? Now. Hop to it and flash me, Paper Boy. I've seriously been waiting for eons to see the goods."
Was that what you expected? No? LOL!
She had to finish this conversation now that she’d started it. Pam finally speaks up. No spoilers; takes place sometime after Product Recall, season 3.
10 Do not apologize for this 'variation on a theme' - it's just lovely!
A Jim Pov. A little spoilery, as I used the Official Title at NBC, to assume one small point. It's fluffy and sugary. My official warning is:It May Cause Cavities. Proceed at your own risk
10 Very nice. Your fanfic to GD's ears!!!
Author's Response: Wow! A review from Moxie, awesome. And Thank you, if only I had an audience with GD!!
"Can’t we just take a moment to celebrate the fact that we’ve reached the six month mark rather than analyzing how we got here?" A nice quiet anniversary dinner turns into something more than that.10 You rock as hard as a very hard, rocky thing. :-)
oh, and you left out the part where she crosses the alley to get to her car and is hit by a fast-moving crosstown bus.
Just sayin'.
(and I'm glad to see you posting stuff again - you are awesome!)
Wow! High praise indeed! Hard as a rock (TWSS!) - niiiccce! As for the bus, somebody else beat me to it, so I thought I'd go with something kinder and gentler but as long as the end result is "B'bye Ms. Fillipelli, thanks for playing and we have some lovely parting gifts for you...", does it really matter? :-)
Thanks, Mox. You rule like a, um, really long ruler!
The title pretty much says it all: the fantasies of Jim and Pam and the naughty actings out of those fantasies.
This story will go as long as you, the readers, want it to.
10 nice dialogue/email. I have no suggestions at this point, but I am enjoying what you've done so far.
10 I could actually see a version of your ending showing - it is the office, after all. Nicely done!!
Author's Response:
As long as their version includes shirtless!Jim. ;)
Thanks for reading.
I needed some cheering up, so in that vein, here is an incredibly un-angsty little piece of fluff. It's only three parts long and it's almost all done.
Pam and Jim reconnect in the most unlikely of all places...
10 No, don't leave it at this! Please :-)
Kelly, Pam, and Karen find different meanings in a romantic comedy. Takes place sometime after Women's Appreciation (season three). Spoilers for the movie "My Best Friend's Wedding"
10 Oh, if only GD would gift Karen with that much sense. You give me reasons to keep hoping, nqllisi - thanks!
Author's Response: There is hope! Don't give up! And if our hope proves in vain...there's always fic! (thanks Moxie!)
. . . comes from some other beginning's end. Post-Beach Games. Based around the finale (but no spoilers).
I guess this is kind of AU now ;)
10 That was a very nice alternative ending. Well done!
I love that he wanted her there to see him change desks. Definitely an "actions speak louder than words" moment.
Inspired by the finale and the seasons that preceeded it. Enough said.
10 Nice. Almost too nice, if you know what I mean. And I think you. ;-)
Thank you for such an inappropriate work read, dear. :-D
Moxie, I must tell you: When we went on vacation, I happened to be taking pictures of the gorgeous California cliffs at the beach when this adorable little squirrel came marching up (swear to god). So of course I instantly got a picture of him -- and it is now framed on my kitchen counter!! Heh, ostensibly it's because he's a cute little thing, all up on his back legs...but secretly, I get this silly little grin whenever I look at it. :o) (So thank YOU.)
Now that I think of it -- will email it to you in a second. :o)
Jim is nervous about their first date. Spoilers through "The Job".10 Sweet. and. Perfect!!! :-D
Author's Response: Thank you so mcuh! Perfect is...that's a nice thing to say.
Three years have passed since Pam left Scranton for New York, and Jim is still very much on her mind. Will a work-related trip to Rome, Italy be the catalyst that reunites Pam with Jim once and for all?
10 This story has really be fabulous - I'm sorry I haven't review before, but it's just so sweet. I'm enjoying it so much!!
Author's Response: Aww!! Thanks Moxie. I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying the story. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing- I really, really appreciate it. :)
26 Begun out of hiatus frustration as an exploration of what we might miss of Jim and Pam's newfound romance, this has grown into something unique and cool, a multi-authored exercise in creativity and obsession.
By the way, we talk about it here if you're interested in saying hi.
10 Yay for happy breakfasts! A great transition chapter, Brian!
Oooh! What a tease, just leaving us there!! I'm all excited for more!
You better be taking the slow train to Philly to get this written faster!!!
10 They're never going to make it to dinner, are they? And what about those poor, thirsty lilies!!!
Think about the flowers, woman!!!
Very nice. And I do mean VERRRY. :-)
Damn! She forgot all about the flowers! What with the kissy face and the sexy couch time... But I think all in all, Pam has her priorities straight and they'll get to dinner because they'll need to keep up their stamina. Thanks Moxie!
10 yay! I can totally believe dips into all those unpleasant feelings regarding Pantsuit Queen. But good for Pam for not dwelling on it, and on realizing they both are slightly wounded from their time apart.
This is definitely one of my favourite first date stories so far! :-)
Aw, thanks! You're making my day over here. There definitely will be some hurt feelings and awkwardness but honest new Pam will get over it with love therapy from Dr. Halpert. You're the best, Ms. Moxie!
10 OMG - it totally sounds like Pam and Jim ended up here: http://www.kahiki.com/about-us/supper-club.aspx
The Kahiki was a landmark restaurant in columbus - I was fortunate enough to get there before it closed. And it looks like Pam and Jim were too!
I like that he asked her why she did the coal walk. :-)
Now I'm wishing my weekend away looking forward to the next chapter! Good Job, as always!
I didn't plan on it being this restaurant (and yes, your link probably nails it on the head!) I think I just wanted Pam to have a drink in a pineapple for some reason. I LOVE me some funky retro tiki a la Trader Vic's and that sort of thing and I thought it might be kind of fun for them to have a low key dinner. There's probably not one within miles of Scranton but that's why they call it fiction!
Thanks much and I hope your weekend doesn't pass by TOO quickly! You can let your imagination fill in the rest of the date for a few days and then see how close you are to my version after! Or you could just keep writing your own wonderful fics to pass the time. I seem to remember you have 17 ideas going! ;-)
10 There is a sense of "manic" in their conversation - especially in Pam, and I think that rings exceptionally true to how they would be the first night they are back to being "the way they were" (sorta!). I mean, there's an abrupt shifting of gears conversation-wise from light and fun to reflective to downright deadly serious and back to fluff again. And it's a bit winding to keep up with, but it rings as very, very true to me. Like there is some much Pam's been keeping inside to tell him "one day" and now that "one day" has finally arrived, she doesn't know where to start and she's probably not yet had it sunk in that he's not going anyway again. Does that make sense?
I'm sure an evening of making out on her couch with Jim will certainly help calm her down. (or not...) :-)
Nicely done, as always.
I'm glad that sense of "manic" comes through. Think of Pam sitting there waiting for Jim to return after the Merger, dying to tell him so many things and then she gets shut down for months. And then thinking he's moving to NYC never to be seen again. Ouch. All those things she has bottled up inside and she doesn't want to wait any longer because he's here now and it's spilling out in uneven batches! I know that's how I'd feel - wanting to try out this new flirty thing, wanting to tell him the serious stuff that he needed to hear after CN, and wanting to just hang with her best friend. It's going to take a while to define the relationship but they're already laying down the foundation. That's probably what makes this so fun to write!
Thanks for your continuous love and feedback! And thanks for a new DL installment!
10 awwwww....all that mutual adoration just takes it out of you, doesn't it? That was definitely some gooey, delicious fluff. I need a glass of water. ;-)
More, please!! And will Pam leave drool marks all over Jim's shirt? Inquiring minds must know!!!
If Pam does leave drool marks on his shirt, of course he'll think it's the most adorable thing ever! Also, not sure if it was the mutual admiration on the large rum pineapple drinks, but surely all that adrenaline flowing means a crash sooner or later.
The fluff is all for you, baby! You know left to me, Pam would dress in black, never leave the house and write bad poetry while listening to the Cure night after night. J/K! Love me some fluff too. Good times...
Sometimes a cheeseburger is worth waiting for. Based on "His Cheeseburger" over at YouTube.
10 haha - loved it!
and now....it's lunchtime!!!! ;-)
10 It was really nice to read "the date" from a Jim point of view. Well done.
