“No. That wasn’t it. You did think Roy had changed. Because you always think he will. You’re constantly hooked on a drug of cautious optimism, thinking that this moment, this conversation will be the turning point for your relationship. Roy would abandon his dismissive, discouraging comments in favor of real support and genuine compromise.“
I think was such a perfect way to say why Pam has stayed with Roy for so long. Shes always just hoping he will change for her, that he’ll want to start putting in more effort and that he won’t be the guy who keeps pushing off their wedding and not listening to her and holding her back, but he wont. I loved this ending so much. Fancy New Beesly is on her way.

In an odd way the nice thing about the Dunder Mifflin office is that in between bits of Michael inspired insanity, there can be long stretches of boring which can lead to moments like this. Clearly Pam is having one of those days. I think here, it's telling that a lot of her thoughts are centered around what other people think of her. How they would perceive things. That feels very much like Pam. Always putting others before herself.
One last chance for Roy to get it right there at lunch. And he blows it. Again, he's just assuming she'll go along with what he wants rather than asking what she might want to do. Very much feels like the straw that breaks the camel's back there. And as always Jim is there to make sure she's ok. Good job Jim.

“Um, can I ask you your opinion on… something kind of personal?”
He rolls his eyes and sighs heavily. “You don’t look fat.”
All of this Dwight dialogue was superb, lol
"Maybe you can catch Meredith before she comes in and take a swig of her Big Gulp."
This made me chuckle.
"Go get 'em tiger" THE CUTEST

*“Wait,” you say, taking a small step in front of the door. “Um, can I ask you your opinion on… something kind of personal?”
He rolls his eyes and sighs heavily. “You don’t look fat.”* HAHAHA
*But you can’t move on from the head-on collision between your favorite relationship and your strongest relationship. You can only hold your breath as you watch it unfold.* Oooof this is brilliant.
*But you don’t. You find Roy and hand him the soda to indicate a reason for your being down here, because, you know, being his fianc?e isn’t enough for that.* WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD AT THIS
*“Will you say, ‘Go get ‘em, tiger?’”
He pauses just enough to grin from ear to ear. “Go get ‘em, tiger.”* Ughhhhhhh TPB.
I love me some confident, determined Pam and she definitely gives off that vibe here and I am here for it. I loveeeee this. Going back for more!! So good.

Fancy New Beesly is gracing us with her presence early I see?
I liked this! I loved the Dwight and Pam dialogue (as always), and how she comes to the conclusion that they need to break up.
SO WELL THOUGHT OUT AND EXECUTED, TPB! I loved this! So sad it's over so soon!

“In case I need them in a survival situation.” Now I want to know exactly what survival situation would require battery-operated calculators, because I'm sure Dwight's got a specific one in mind.
"“This is highly classified,” he says in a low voice. “But I have strong suspicions that Michael’s hecklers from last night were planted spies from a rival paper company.”" Oh, Dwight. NEver change. And you were like... on the way to being at least not actively horrifying, and you blew it.
"In your hurry, you don’t look where you’re going, and suddenly you find your face smack in the middle of Jim’s button-down shirt. With Jim inside it." LOL.
(For the record, I too have always wondered and may or may not have a fic in progress that will never get finished about how Pam managed to kiss Jim in front of like 30 people and no one ever followed up on it.)
"As unintentionally insightful as Dwight can be, you refuse to believe that men and women always want different things from a relationship, even though you know there’s some truth to that. Just look at you and Roy." Accidentally Helpful Dwight is the best Dwight.
Ugh. Roy. The combination of the Chili's disaster with the hockey game disaster... you are not a smart man.
"You did think Roy had changed. Because you always think he will." OUCH. Very interesting psychological take on Pam. And realizing that's her rationalization and it's just not working anymore does seem to be the sort of thing that might push an early Season 2 Pam over the edge. Fancy New Beesly arrives early!
