INT. THE BREAKROOM
Jim and Pam are sitting at one of the tables. The room is unoccupied except for them. Pam is looking at a magazine as Jim eats his sandwich.
PAM
(pointing at magazine)
Boy, this dress is hardly there, is it?
JIM
Hm. Actually, I think that's pretty nice looking.
PAM
(teasingly)
I don't think it's the dress you're staring at.
Pam laughs.
JIM
Aw, see now...
Just then Dwight enters. He looks nervous. He comes over to stand in front of the seated pair.
DWIGHT
(monotone)
Hello, Jim and Pam. (beat) How are you two?
Jim and Pam look at each other and then Dwight.
PAM
Hey... Dwight.
JIM
What's going on?
DWIGHT
Oh, nothing... I just.. I was just walking
through on my way to....
Dwight, not looking, motions towards the wall, then corrects and points at the vending machine.
JIM
Ok.
DWIGHT
May i... sit?
Jim and Pam both look at the camera and then back to Dwight.
PAM
Um... sure.
JIM
Yeah, um... grab a seat.
Dwight sits and forces a smile. Then he looks at Pam's magazine, which is upside down to him.
DWIGHT
Oh, this is one of those, uh...
entertainment periodicals. Very...
informative.
JIM
Uh huh.
DWIGHT
(craning neck to see)
Oh and look. An ad for a new CD.
Wow, that David Duchovny is... very
talented. The X-files and now a musical
career.
Jim and Pam look in confusion at the magazine and then back at Dwight.
PAM
Um.. that's not David Duchovny, that's...
K.D. Lang.
Dwight cranes his neck again to look closer. Pam spins it around for him.
DWIGHT
Oh. So it is... Um... She's very...
(beat) manly in that picture.
There is a pause as the three look at each other.
JIM
So, uh... what's on your mind,
Dwight?
DWIGHT
Oh.. um.. well. You remember my
Cousin Mose?
JIM
Been trying not to but...
Pam puts her hand over Jim's.
PAM
Yes, we do. How, um... how is he?
DWIGHT
Oh, he is... well. Um... he was asking
me last night about, um... the possibility
of you two... staying with us again.
JIM
Oh! That, um...
PAM
I don't think...
DWIGHT
He really enjoyed having you as
our guests.
JIM
See.. the thing is...
PAM
JIm got VERY sick the last time...
JIM
Pam had terrible allergies when...
(stops when he realizes what Pam just said)
Um...
(to Pam)
Me?
Pam nods quickly.
JIM
Um... yeah, I got.. wow, it
was bad.
PAM
A hay fever thing, I think.
JIM
Yeah, I got all... I had swollen, inflamed...
uh... nostrils?
PAM
Sinuses.
JIM
YEAH, sinuses.
(looks at Pam, almost smiling)
Nostrils?
DWIGHT
Mose didn't get along too well with our
last guests. It's a good thing we're friendly
with our local police. Those sort of charges
can be very serious.
Jim and Pam look at each other again.
JIM
Um... Yeah, I got really sick. That bed...
PAM
How many guests have you had since
we were there?
DWIGHT
Um... not counting the couple I just
mentioned...(beat) none.
PAM
(sadly)
Oh.
JIM
And the milking... can't. Me and udders...
(shakes head)
DWIGHT
But he would love to see you! And...
(very quietly)
I would not entirely... mind... (beat)
having you two... stay again.
PAM
(touched)
Oh!
JIM
So, I'm sorry man... but.. I
don't think...
PAM
How about next weekend?
Would that be good?
Dwight brightens immeasurably. Jim looks at the camera and then Pam, in shock.
DWIGHT
Yes! That would be... Mose
will be pleased!
PAM
Good!
Dwight rises and heads to the door.
DWIGHT
(happy)
Next weekend then!
PAM
Yes!
He leaves. Pam looks slowly at Jim and forces a smile that becomes a grimace. Jim just looks at her, shaking his head
JIM
(chuckling softly)
You have GOT to stop doing that.
