INT. THE OFFICE-RECEPTION AREA
It is quiet in the office. We see a young lady seated at reception. We see Jim is not at his desk as the camera pans to the main doors. Roy walks through and tentatively comes over to reception.
YOUNG LADY
May I help you?
ROY
Uh.. yeah. I was, um... looking for Jim Halpert?
YOUNG LADY
He's out on a sales call. He won't be back until
this afternoon.
ROY
Um.. ok. I just...
DWIGHT (OFFSCREEN)
ROY ANDERSON!
The camera pans and we see Dwight standing at his desk, sternly pointing at Roy.
DWIGHT
Please leave the premises immediately!
ROY
(rolling eyes)
Aw, come on...
DWIGHT
(to young lady)
Did you tell him where Jim was? Did you?
YOUNG LADY
No, no. I just.. said he was out on a sales call.
DWIGHT
Dammit, Tiffany! You just don't offer up such
information! You might have just murdered
Jim Halpert.
TIFFANY
(pulling back from Roy)
Wha.. what?
ROY
Jesus Christ, Dwight, I don't wanna kill
Halpert!
DWIGHT
Oh no? And the last time...?
ROY
Forget about that! I just came here
to talk to the guy, that's all.
(points at Dwight)
You're not helping any by acting like
a big douche bag, man.
DWIGHT
(taking a step back)
Tiffany, call the police!
ROY
Don't do that! Come on! Just cause I
called you a douche bag?
DWIGHT
No, because you made a threatening,
pointing motion... when you... called me a
douche bag.
ROY
(rubbing face)
Don't believe this. I just wanna talk
to Halpert. That's all.
Just then Michael comes out of his office and cringes when he sees Roy.
MICHAEL
Roy! What are you...? You can't be
here! The office has a..a...order of
protection against you!
ROY
You do not! Just stop it!
MICHAEL
(speaking slowly, hands up)
Listen to me. You can't have Pam
back, Roy. Killing Jim won't fix what's
broken.
ROY
(shaking head)
Oh my God. You people...
MICHAEL
Pam is a different person now.
She's finally happy, Roy.
ROY
I know that! I'm glad she's happy!
I just wanted to... Ah, forget it!
Roy turns and stalks out of the office as Michael, Dwight and Tiffany watch him go.
DWIGHT
I'm going to keep him under surveillance.
(glares at Tiffany)
HOPEFULLY Tiffany didn't get Jim shot to
death today.
TIFFANY
Aw, come on, I didn't know!
ROY TALKING HEAD
We see Roy in the parking lot standing next to the main entrance.
ROY
I called Pam last week... just wanted to see how
she was... and she told me she was in New York
doing the art thing. She' s got this going and that
going and she and Halpert are... (beat) I mean...
she sounded so happy. More happy than... (beat)
and... and I just wanted to talk to Halpert. Tell him that...
that I'm happy 'cause Pam is. I don't know.. I mean,
I don't have his number.And I can't just look in the
phone book and find Jim Halpert and call him up.
(beat) Well, yeah, I guess I could've. Didn't.. really
think of that.
(thinks for a second and then jerks a thumb towards the entrance)
But these idiots have to make a big deal out of it.
Boy. You try to kill a guy... ONCE... and you're branded
for life.
(shakes head)
