The Final Kiss and Episode Wrap Up

Hello and welcome to your second drink of The surplus This is the episode where Oscar explains to Michael that he has to spend the office surplus and it kicks off this big debate over what The bullpin wants to spend it on. chairs or a new copier This is also when Dwight takes Angela and Andy to shhroot farms. It was a very fun episode of the offffice, one of my favorite to shoot, and also one of my favorite episodes of offffice ladies. So listen, lady, I was revisiting this one and I did this deep dive on butter sculptures at the Iowa State Fair because when Angela is talking about planning her wedding, she says she wants a cat butter sculpture Mhm I remember when we did our stories, you sent me all of these pictures you found of butter sculpture. Yes. Well, guess what I have an update Okay, a butter sculpture update I want everyone to know that the Iowa State Fair will be going on this year from august thirteenth to twenty third. And yes, there will be a buttercow perer usual And it will be sculpted by Sarah Pratt, who has been making the butter cow since two thousand six Her two daughters, Hannah and Grace are now her apprentices And listen, I'm telling you, I got so interested in these sculptures again. I ended up watching some videos of Sarah and her daughters from last year's fair And they use their hands a lot to do the sculpting I don't know what I was expecting. Tools, I don't know. I totally envision it as like them using their hands, like almost like a clay like making pottery. That is what it was like I envisioned it like I don't know like an old timey like chisel and hammer No, they do. They use their hands to mold it and then it cools into the shape that they're going for. It's really fascinating. I want to watch it. One day, I need to see these butter sculptures in real life. Can we please do this lady? I mean it, I mean it. My bags are packed. Okay. I mean, I am in I love butter I know you do. And I love things sculpted out of other things, I guess This is a good match for us Mhm. Well, lady, this is also the episode where we finally gave you your first work birthday. Yeah, but your cake was late. It was a whole thing. You can listen to it in the episode. But when we put a call out to our listeners to tell us their favorite moment from the surplus, We got this letter from Jordan G in Orlando and Angela I had to share Jordan said ladies, this is more of a response to your episode of the podcast and less about the show itself. I'm currently listening to the surplus episode for the first time where Angela gets her first work birthday party I just want to say how touching that moment was when Angela was surprised with her cake. It literally made me tear up One of my favorite things about the podcast is being able to have a look into the friendship between you two It is so honest and special, and your obvious connection and love for one another is truly something so amazing to get to witness. You make me laugh, cry and everything in between. I feel like I'm right there with you I'm sure you've heard it a million times, so what's one time more Thank you for creating something so special for everyone. many blessings to both you and your family. Love always, Jordan. Jordan gosh, that just You know what just completely made my day. Thank you so much. I know. I thought that was so sweet. And she also had a PS, I guess, I M Jordan in Arizona. at the University of Arizona in twenty eighteen. I had done a book signing for the actor's life. She said I was literally one of the last people in line and you still took time to talk with me and sign my book. And as an actor who now gets paid full time to perform Way to go, Jordan. Yes. It was huge encouraging me through those tough times we all face Ah, Jordan. Yay, congratulations. Yeah. And thank you for writing in. Thank you so much, Jordan. Well, I have a letter here from Hannaby in Canada who says, first off, love you ladies so much I rewatched the surplus recently and love the scene where Michael calls in Hank the final decision, especially the moment when Hank realizes the power he's been given Was it scripted that he would take the jelly beans and Michael responds very seriously that he can take as many as he wants? Stehven Hugh's energy in this scene is hilarious I mean, it is so fantastic. Hannah, we mentioned in our breakdown that this is our favorite as well. Oh yes, so much. It's so good And Hannah, I went to the script and it was scripted that Hank takes some jellybeans, but that's all it said improvise the line, takeake as many as you want And Hugh improvised the thank you, thank you before his next scripted line that was You know, it's nice and warm up here And I actually think this little bit that Hannah points out is such a great example of improv on the show and because We weren't improvising whole scenes. We would have a scripted bit and then we'd do some little thing and then we'd go back to scripted. and we did it so seamlessly. Yeah, because we had really great writing when there were these little moments where we could sort of addd a little color We knew right where to do them. Do you know what I mean? It was just so Organic. Yes And lady, while I was poking around in the script looking for the answer to this question, oh my gosh, I found not one two cold opens for this episode We did not talk about this in our breakdown Oh, And this episode does not have a standalone cold open We just get right into the plot. Oscar just enters Michael's office and tells him about the surplus. But there were actually two standalone cold opens written for this episode we only ended up filming one of them. It got added back to the top of the Pacock Superfan episode, It is a prank that Jim pulls on Dwight. Let's hear it What is this thing you just sent me Oh, it's really cool. It's a picture of the most relaxing meadow you've ever seen. Idiot. I know what this is. It's supposed to low me into a sense of calm and then a ghoul pops up and scares me. Why would I do that? Tight, off all people I know that your own's terrible. Damn right, I am Oh, hello, relaxing meeadow. I'm so relaxed and calm looking at you right now Oh no, Scary goal just popped up. I'm so scared, I'm so scared, really? Is this the best you can? Jim? How are you? Okay Mhm That is the best I can do He got him, He got him lady. Yeah. So what he does because you can't see it, he is right over Dwight's shoulder in a scary mask. and that is what ends up scaring Dwight. So that is now at the top of this episode in the Superfan, but they wrote another cold open for this episode. where Michael and Dwight discover that it's snowing outside and we all run outside and have a snowball fight. but there's not a lot of snow. So the snow is kind of like filled with pebbles. You know, when you're like trying to make a snowman but there's not enough Yeah or snowball or When to get dirt and sticks and stuff. Yeah Well, anyway I bet they're glad they chose this one in the bullpen because then they didn't have to spend a bunch of money on fake snow just to have it get cut from the episode. That all I could think of when you shared that, I thought they were going to have to call snow businessusiness and get a bunch of fake snow. Yeah, but they didn't. I don't think we shot it. Well, I love a cold open surprise. Well, I also want to talk about this letter we got from Cassie Lll in Milton, Florida Cassie said I'm currently watching the Superfan episodes and there's a scene between Angel and Dwight that has been added back in where we find out Angela is very passionate about the Mayflower. And it seems that Dwight knows this by his reaction. So Cassie wants to know How many times have they had deep conversations about the Mflower? This scene made me laugh out loud. I went back and watched it three more times Yeah, it was really fun. And it just it's one of those scenes, lady I loved that wasn't in the original that just shows the history of a couple you know? There's all this assumed history that you carry around with you when you are in a relationship with someone and just a window into it is so delicious. It's like when we got to see Michael and Jan's condo, you know, I'm like, what? They've been living this all this time. But I thought it'd be fun to hear. It's after the scene in the kitchen where they are getting the directions to Sroot Fms Angela Dwight sneak out to the alleyway next to the warehouse. Let's listen I you were gonna put a muzzle on that singing idiot He's not a bad singer Pretty talented, I guess. Sanny went to Cornell. Yeah, well, I provide America with two of its most beloved staples, beadets and paper. His family is well connected in pockets of Connecticut. W. And his ancestors came over on the Mayflower. Oh big whoop. half my family came over on a U boat. It would have destroyed the Mayflower I to you destroyed the Mflower? Sorry. I can't believe I said that. Angela H. This is so fun. I so remember doing that scene. You know how some you hear and you're like,, I don't remember that. I remember saying deep pockets of Connecticut It's so good. She's so impressed. I also love that Twight has to admit he is a good singer. Yeah. Well, you know what's crazy is that in the background of this scene, lady, there's a little bit of snow on the dumpster and you guys are acting like you're really cold So I kind of wonder, when did we shoot this? Was this Before or after they decided to bail on that snow cold open They were like, we don't know what the cold openens going to be for this episode yet. So Just throw some snow out there so it matches just in case, just in case. Okay, everyone, well, thanks so much for sending in your letters about your favorite moments. We love them. You can submit your favorites at our website officladies d. com and now it's time for your second drink of the surplus. I name'm Jenn Fish and I'm Anla Kenzie.

I think I've been in denial because I've just been busy with life and kids and whatnot, but I am realizing now it feels big. You know what I mean? Like I realize I'm in a different survey group. like they're like Americans eighteen to thirty five surveyed. Americans thirty five to forty five surveyed. I'm like, oh my God, I'm not in the survey anymore I'm in the like senior citizens surveyed fifty to seventy five. You're gonna get surveyed about all like aches and pains things now, right? You know what? My grandmother lived to one hundred and I'll never forget when she was ninety six Her and I were hanging out. She was the best Her name was Lena May, and I said, Grandmother, you're about to turn ninety seven. How does it feel? And she said, Well, you know, when I'm sitting down, I feel like I'm twenty three It's when I stand up that I fill ninety seven. Oh, that's amazing. Isn't that amazing?

Eelson's tomorrow tonight to get it By God, you're getting a cake. Okay? Okay Okay. All right, done This week, we are talking about the surplus. It is season five episode ten. Written by Jean Stepnitsky and Lee Eisenberg and directed by Paul Feg Do you want to hear a fun little tidbit about the title? Yes. As you guys know, I am a digital hoarder and every once in a while it brings me a real nugget. I found an email from Randy Cordre saying that we were tentatively going to be shooting this episode in October of two thousand eight end of October. The title, the working title was Spend the surplus spin the surplus And then we just dropped the spend. Okay. So as you watch this know that we're filming end of october two thousand eight. I went on a website that tells you whether years past You guys, the high was eighty eight degrees in October. And if you watch us shivering outside, know that that's a fakey shiver Oh, I have some things to say about that when we get there. Okay I'm gonna to hitch you with a summary. Do it ker informs Michael there is a four thousand three hundred dollars budget surplus that must be spent today or it gets returned and taken out of next year's budget The office is then divided on what to spend it on. newew chairs or a new copier This creates tension between Jim and Pam who are on opposing sides Pam is team chairs, Jim is team copier. Andy and Angela visit Shrroot Farms to discuss their wedding with Dwight. Michael then learns of a third option for the surplus. He can return it in exchange for a fifteen percent bonus for himself What will he choose? Well, he doesn't like to make anyone mad. But he also wants the money Yeah. fact number one The character of Ryan does not appear in this episode Yeah, remember last week, he told Kelly he was going to go to Thailand? Well, this marks his first episode on his vacation And he will be gone for eleven weeks Because he was filming Inlorious Bastards, the Quentin Tarantino film This was such a big deal for BJ. We were so excited. He was working with Brad Pitt We really hit him up for Brad Pitt stories and he had nothing. He just said he was a nice guy. We're like, come on, give us something. I know. And then he would drop and do like a one arm pushed up BJ, we get it, You have to get in good shape. We get it.. Fast fact number two Our cinematographer. for this episode was Matt Sone. Yeah So this actually happened back on business trip because remember Randall, Einhorn, our usual cinematographer directed business trip. So while he was directing, Matt Sone, who was normally ourB camera operator, stepped in a cinematographer But This started a stretch where Matt served as our A camera operator and cinematographer for three weeks while Randall was doing post production on his episode of Business Trip And so these last three episodes, that's Matt Son y'all I love that. Medson was the best He is such a hiker, do you know that? Yeah, didn't he and David Denman used to hike a bunch. They hike a bunch. I saw him on a hike one time And I was like sucking air so hard And he like strode past me with his kid in one of those backpack things. Oh yeah. And I was like Shoot, he was really in good shape. He and Randall both were in good shape. I know. But I mean, they need to be because they're lugging those cameras on their shoulders. although now Matt directs. Yes. Now he just hikes for pleasure. Yeah This fact number three A very big portion of this episode takes place at Shrot Farms. And Angela, I know you will have a lot to share about that, but to kick things off, you have a location breakdown from Randy Cordre. I sure do, you guys. Randy Cordre is the best. Jenna has shared with you emails that he has sent to us. I reached out to him because I had questions about Shrot Fms. We have shared over the years that there were a few different locations for shrot Fms And I just wanted to ask Randy which location it was and I had a question about the barn He responded to my email, Jenna with so many details It was so wonderful and photos I'm going to share. hereere we go. Are you ready for Randy Cordre's location brereakdown of Shrot Farms? Yes. These scenes were shot in New Hall at the Disney Ranch It was originally known as the Golden Oak Ranch And Jenna. Randy gives us a deep dive on the origin of the Golden Oak Ranch. Lay it on me. He did a deep dive. This is what he said. It was land owned by the famous singing cowboy movie star, Gene Auty Geaudry also owned the California Angels Baseball team. And the Los Angeles news station, KTLA, Channel five, which was the first TV station on the West cooast Randy also shared that the Walt Disney Comany purchased the property in nineteen fifty nine and established a movie location on a still working horse and cattle ranch. There's more He shared that just beyond the boundary of the property, to the south, in Plac Aita Canyon State Park, is the site of the very first gold discovery in California In eighteen forty two, a cowh named Francisco Lopez was sitting under an oak tree and pulled up some wild onions. He found gold nuggets clinging to the roots His discovery led to a mini gold rush six years before the more famous discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill He pulled onions out of the ground and there was gold clinging to like the onion or the root of the onion. Yeah Gold nuggets clinging to the root of this onion And it happened right there and that is why it's called the Golden Oak Ranch. It should be called the Glden onion ranch. He was sitting under an oak tree. It should be called a golden oak Oion ranch B an Ogunian ranch. roll rolls out of the tank So there's the background on the origin of the Golden Oak Ranch, which then became the Disney Ranch. So we spent a lot of time at this Disney ranch filming this episode. There's tons more scenes that didn't make it in. We were there the whole week.. This was weird for me, Jenna, 'cause I was the one not in the office and you were there. Y? Yes When we shot there, the facilities were just limited to a few buildings, a farmhouse, some barns and stables, right Randy shared with us that in the corner of the ranch, there was a very run down western street that was really in disrepair. and it was. It looked like a set that had been forgotten about because no one was making those spaghetti Westerns anymore. It probably had its heyday, but it was really falling apart. But Randy shared that since then Disney has invested a ton of money and has completely modernized the grounds. He said I wouldn't even recognize it There are six state of the art sound stages There's also a fake residential street and a business district And there's a full feature backlot movie location now None of that was there when we were there. It was like a rund down old like Western set when we were there. I've been there because I was there for the bed and breakfast. Yeah. when Jim and Pam. That's right. That's right to you know stay at S shhot Farms And there was nothing. There was really just these rickety farmhouses and barns that were basically falling apart. Right. And there was only a handful of them, and then just sort of fields. Yeah. Well, now it's a full studio Wow, I know I asked him a little bit about the barn we filmed in, and he said the very first scene you see of us walking into the barn, that stable was called the Ragwing Barn. And Randy negotiated a rate to include the horses and mules and the horse that you see in the stalls. Oh. And then the other barn, which was like the fancy barn where Dwight you made it to look like a wedding ceremony. Yes barn was known as peewies because it was the former location used in Paul Rubin's Pew's Playhouse So they all had names and the actual Srut farmhouse was an old farmhouse on the property known as Olivia's It's really cool I know. and he sent me pictures of the mules. he took that day. And he sent me like the map of the location, which it doesn't look anything like that anymore. It's so wild. It's completely different. That's so cool. Thank you, Randy Corday. I know. He's the best. He really came through. I know Well, listen, should we take a break while I run to the store and buy you a cake and you go to the bathroom and we'll be back to break down this episode. Are you gonna go get me a guitar? Yeah, I'm gonna go get the guitar out of my car now. All right, Aesome. I'm gonna need about twenty minutes.

He says, explain it to me like I'm eight years old Then he says, explain it to me like I'm fine. I know So Oscar does this great lemonade stand analogy Michael seems like he's getting it. Ultimately, in the end, we're not sure he totally got it. No But Oscar says You need to spend this money today and you should really spend it on a new copier Because we need it. We desperately need it We had a fan question from Lauren Kay When Oscar is explaining the surplus to Michael and Michael says, explain it to me like I'm five, there's this great line when Oscar says the next summer and Michael says, I'll be six me laugh so hard, so hard Lauren wanted to know was that scripted or was it improvised? It was scripted. Yeah that be Steve threw it away so perfectly. It was so cute. It was so innocent. I know Oh, Michael. Well, he's very excited. He knows it's something good, right? He grasped at least that and he's gonna to announce to the whole Bullpin. Yes. They've got a surplus And he thinks maybe we'll get a new copy. And Pam's like, no, no, no, wait, wait, hold up We need new chairs Toby. It feels like they really need a good air quality inspection for some of the silent killers. Here's Toby again. He's worried about the radon gas. He's worried about the asbestos. This is the runner that the writers loved for Toby And this is the scene where we realize that Jyim is not team chairs. Hm. He wants a copier It really made me laugh hard when Creed goes. The ball's on you, man Treat's delivery was so good And Jenna, there was a Pam talking head that would have gone here And it's about her chair and you delivered it from reception. It's a talking head from reception. In my chair, standanding next to your chair Oh, what is it? Sam play it This is the chair that was here when I was hired It was crappy then and it's even worse now To give myself a break, sometimes I go outside and sit on the ground Yeah, I remember that now. That's how bad that chair is. Pam made a really strong argument. She made me want to be team chair because she was like, I make the copies to deal with a copi here, that should tell you how bad these chairs are. Also, everyone would get a new chair Right?. So it really is something for everyone. But the other thing I thought was just, what about the copier and the annex There's another copier. No one wants to walk to the annex. It's icky back there. Well, then they should swapem I know. Maybe Kelly needs to make a lot of copies. It feels like there's a simple solution to the copier problem that no one's realizing Well, Michael's gonna to digest all of their ideas and see what comes out the other end Coming up at three minutes fifty six seconds is a scene, Jenna that I didn't think I was gonna get through. I didn't think we would have any usable takes. Last week you talked about that clown painting on the wall in Jim's parents house that you guys could not get through it. You were laughing. Yes. scene Dwight giving directions to Andy and Angela, that was it for me. Ed and I could not get through it. like truly, we could not stop laughing. It's in the bloopers and I think we got to hear it. You know, lady, last week, I looked at the bloopers to see if I could find any clown painting outtakes. Yeah. I couldn't find them, but I did see this. It is so good. Just I feel like some of these directions to shhroot Fms are a little Weird. I mean, like one hundred and fifty six paces from the light red mailbox make a left Walk until you hear the beehive. And Make a rightite if you are attttacked by territorial crows I had this is really these if you smell bear pea, turn the other way. If you smell bear pea at any point, abort, wait in your car for further instructions. What's the problem exactly This. The other thing that's so great about this blooper is that you're hearing all those candy bag alt directions. Yes, because in the script, the only directions were one hundred fifty six paces from the light red mailbox and then the one about the Bear. All the rest are candy bag alts. So were they just because in the clip, you can see that Ed is reading. Were they just handing him pieces of paper with like funny directions? They literally did. They handed him a whole paper that were extra directions. And that's why he was like, I almost had it If you guys watch the bloopers, you'll see that I'm sniffling I have sniffling because it was so cold on set that day that my nose was running and I had a tissue in my hand that I was hiding under the table. It was that cold That used to happen to me all the time. my nose would run on set. I know. I had my sneezing from the allergies and the runny nose from the cold. Well, I rewatched the scene and all I can see is me sniffling and trying not to laugh Well, you laughed a lot. I did Well, Jenna, we had a fan question about this scene. Allie Joe H wrote in and said, When Angela and Andy are talking to Dwight, Andy says something about a three way and it looks like Dwight mouths something to Angela. Do you remember what he said I can tell you in the script, Rain had this stage direction. It says Dwight rolls his eyes to Angela like ugh, check out the dummy And Angela doesn't give him anything So I think Rain was sort of mocking Andy in that moment L looking at me like, o, this guy Coming up we have a scene that was really, really fun for me. It's the scene in the kitchen between Pam and Jim whereere Pam is kind of low key threatening Jim. Yeah. on her side. Not low key. Full key. Is that an expression We had a fan question from Jessica Kay. She would very much like us to discuss Pam's You're on Dangerous Ground moment saying, quote, I was like, damn, Jenna. Well, Jessica, we came up with this little moment while we rehearse the scene. So this idea of Pam going over to Jyim and going in for a kiss but then pulling back That was something that we did in rehearsal. It was not in the script and we just were so tickled. You know those moments when you're rehearsing a scene or you're doing a scene and you come up with this idea that just opens it up in this new way. It's so fun and it's so fun to see everyone else realize it too, because I have to imagine that when Paul Feig saw it, he was like, oh, yes, you have to do that Yeah, it was really, really cool. And then we knew we shot this scene first. We were going to mirror it in the tag at the end with Jim. Oh, it's so good. And I love Jim's talalking head after where he was like, U, spooky. You guys were about to head out to Shrope Farms. There was a deleted driving scene. It was so good. There's actually two. I'll get to the other one. Wait, there's a scene of you and Andy and Dwight driving in a car together? Two. Oh, They are boos, one going there and then one when we leave Stop it. Yes. The one on the way there, Dwight and Angela get into a fight. Also, Angela's driving me Angela's driving and her car is filthy. It's like covered in mud. It's so funny Oh, I know. Is that because maybe? she's been going out to out farms recently? Yeah. So she's driving, Dwight's in the front, and Andy's in the back poking his head through. Amazing. For both scenes, these scenes were so much fun to film On the way there, Angel and Dwight are arguing about cinner pieces at the reception. Angela wants a fish bowl with a fish in it Dwight's like, let's put a piranha in it and that will kill the fish and there'll be blood. And she's like, I don't want blood on my wedding day. And then he's like, well, I guess I have to reorder the cake And Andy's like, you too That is on the DVD The other one isn't on the DVD, but I'm gonna to share it later because it's when they're leaving Srot farms When Dwight is giving Andy and Angela a tour of Srot farms They get into another discussion about I guess on theme with blood, they're talking about the slaughter. Do they really have to slaughter the entrees on the day of the wedding? Yeah, I mean, yeah I know. And Andy gets twight to not do it the day of the wedding. And then Andy's like, what's that smell Oh my gosh, I'm so southern Did you hear that? Smail. What's that smail? It's a vowel before an L. I can't do it And Angela goes, manure, get rid of it We had a lot of fan questions about the manure. Oh yeah, like a lot. Everybody wanted to know, was it real manure? No, it was not. It was made by Phil Ce. That was Philche's job that day, make fakey manure and how did he do it? He mixed mostly oatmeal, little bit of sand and some food coloring. Well, it looks like manure. It does. Good job, Pil Shee. Lee Isisenberg shared with me that his most vivid memory of shooting this episode was how hot it was at Srot Farms and that you guys had to walk around in coats pretending it was cold. I noticed my forehead was glistening. Yeah. I'm not one to sweat, guys I'm not a big sweater because I'm always cold. So if it tells you anything about how hot it was, I was sweating Also, real random side note, sorry if this is an overshare When we were filming this, I had a five month old and I would have to go and pump. You were pumping at shrot farms. I pumped at shrroot farms. Where They had like first of all, our trailers were a little bit of a car right away. Yeah. and they just helped me get there because I would have to go pump. You pumped at shrot farms. I pumped at shrroot farms in the heat. Wow. Things you do for your baby Lucked under Miflin, Pam is trying to get Michael on her side with the chairs, but she gets interrupted by Oscar who suddenly wants to go to lunch with Michael. Oh, Oscar knows exactly what he's doing. All Michael ever wants is lunch with the guys, and Jim's in on it. Yeah Oh, this is a bold move. Oh Yeah. this is Michael's happiest day. Pam says It is on It is so on And then she puts on lipstick and she Apostles are haare What What is the outcome of this just to like flirt with Michael and make him feel good I dont know what she is planning except maybe just to look at Michael with some happy eyes to pay attention to him laugh at his jokes But Jim, Michael, and Oscar get back from lunch and they are hysterically laughing I mean, they've had the best time. Yeah I mean, how is Pam going to compete with this She tries She goes into his office. She compliments his pants. She compliments his Thaie, hot Thaie guy Tie guy Tie guy. And I love how excited Michael is to share that he got his tie for four dollars and his pants for nine dollars at TJ Max. Oh my gosh, that reminds me of my mom. Does it? Yes. So my mom and my sister, they love to go to the outlets at Lake Ozark, Missouri. all growing up We would go to this cabin like the Ozarks in the summer and they would head out to the outlets. I'm not a shopper person. I'm like, I'm gonna stay back. I'm gonna sit on the dock and read a book. Oh, I would be hitting those outlets with them. I know you would. Especially if there was like one of those pretzel shops and I could get a pretzel while we shopped. Of course there's a com off shop. Of course. Give me that cinnamon pretzel. Yes. So you know how nowadays they have those haul videos whereere on YouTube where people go shopping and they just take things out of their bag and they show you their hall. H A U L. Yeah. I thought you said you know those hall videos. I'm like, why do they film themselves walking down a hall store. No, like haul, like here's my haul. Here's what I got. Yes. They would come home and they would get their stuff out of their bags. Yeah. And it was sort of like the haul videos because they would show every item, but part of the showing of the item would have to include how much money they saved.. The retail, I got this purse that retails for forty five dollars, I got it for twelve. Yeah This shirt, this was seventy percent off at Ralph Laurent. I got it for twelve bucks. Yeah. So the whole like description was always saying the price with the savings. I think it was a big show for my dad, you know, so that he would feel better about any. Well, your dad loves a deal. He loves a deal. This is what I know about him. Oh yeah. He wouldn't want my mom to buy a twelve dollars shirt unless she could get it for seven. That's right. you know. So we would always have to make a big show of all the money that was saved. Michael's right there with your family. He sure is. He could get in on it with my mom and my sister. Wh Pam really did lay it on thick. there is a Michael talking head in the script Right after all of this, right? He's been taking a lunch, Pam has just complimented him It didn't make it in and Jenna, I loved it. Here it is. Michael's talking head in the script. When people kiss up to you, it's very easy to get an inflated ego You can start to believe the hype that people are saying about you pointint yet but I'm going to get there I'm going to get there pretty amazing. I know. Back at Shrroot Farms, they are inside the farmhouse and Angela and Dwight are arguing over what kind of butter sculpture she should have at the wedding. Lady, this scene was so much longer. It actually started with Andy signing a ton of paperwork Because he was actually signing as a witness to the wedding, but he didn't know. Oh. Dwight said it was all these insurance forms so that they could get married at shroot Fms And during the scene, Moose enters And there's a really awkward moment with Moose where Angela hisses at him And then Dwight goes, Why do you have to do that? It's not necessary. He loves you And then Andy's like, how does he love her? How does he know her? And thenight's like, Ohh, Mos loves everybody. He's a people person. And it's so much longer And then it ends with us arguing about the butter sculptures And once again, we could not get through it We were laughing so hard. It's in the deleted scenes on the DVD put it in sties, Jenna because I had to cover my face. I pull a Mindy. You can see me laughing with my hands over my face. But yes, then they get into this ridiculous argument about the sculpture and that's what made it in the actual episode We got a fan question from Gabriella T. who said, Angela tells Dwight she wants a cat sculpture made out of cow butter for her wedding I'm from Iowa And every year at the Iowa State Fair, there is a cow butter sculpture on display. The very first cow butter was sculpted in nineteen eleven and it has grown to be a famous tradition at the Iowa State Fair. Love it I did a deep dive on cow butter sculptures. I wantan to hear it He, so at the Iowa State Fair every year, they make a life size cow out of butter. A whole cow? Yeah, that's huge. Yeah. It starts with a frame of wood, metal, wire, and steel mesh, okay? And then they add six hundred pounds of low moisture, pure cream, Iowa butter It sits in a forty degree cooler And then layers of butter are applied until it is full sized. It measures five and a half feet high and eight feet long Yeah I saw pictures It's a cow, but it's butter. I need to see the picture. I'll send it to you So a real dairy cow weighs like one thousand pounds. The butter version weighs about six hundred pounds This butter cow. Butter about nineteen thousand two hundred pieces of toast And this part I'm unsure about, but every year most of the butter from the butter cow is recycled and it can be used for up to ten years. I hope so. That's a lot of butter It is. Would you not use the recycled cow sculpture butter Well, I mean what you? I don't know. Five second rule Kind of Not really. They also do a companion butter sculpture every year. To the cow? The cow has a buddy? Yes. that stands next to it? Correct. What is it? Well, one year it was Elvis Presley. What? A butter Elvis madeade out of bx Another year it was Harry Potter Oh' get out. Another year, they did Star Trek And in twenty eighteen, they did a celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of John Deere. And tractor? Yes. Oh, my dad would have loved that. I did a replica of the Waterloo Boy tractor. I took a picture and it's a tractor are next to the cow. Wow I wonder if you could climb up in it. Probably not. Well, I'm not eating that recycled butter. Okay. start to interrupt you guys. I gota catch I caught one thing from the start of the podcast. Hold on real quick. Okay. I've gotta fix. Okay. No, it's fine J just give me one second. I can repair it. Okay All right, Angela, how do you feel? This is your first work birthday. You guys so got me. You so got me. I was so surprised. I really thought when I got here that the guitar was code for cake. and then when it wasn't, I was like, o, well, maybe they've just all been busy and oh okay. feel better rant? Well, what happened, Angela was that we were gonna surprise you at the top of the podcast with a cookie pus K car Pus K? Yes And there was a problem that happened. The cake got lost in transit Cse has been hiding out here since like nine thirty this morning waiting for this cake delivery S by This first time we've all been in person and it's amazing to see you. Cassie, say hi everyone. Hey everybody Well, I saw a few times you had to check your phone and text, but I thought it was all about the guitar. No, it was a panic threat about your cake. Oh no. And then you called us out and we were like We had a cake in its's gy But Also, Cassie put together this amazing board for you. It is all of these cards that people sent in because they heard that you did not get your birthday celebrated properly. And so people from the Office ladady' Facebook page sent you cards.

I was truly surprised and I cannot wait to read all of these cards that you guys sent in. It's so lovely. I'm going to sit down and read every single one. And thank you for my. It happened Oh my gosh. Well before we did your birthday, we were talking about butter sculptures. I know. it's really hard, you guys now I'm like, okay, we gotta work. We we still have work to do. I know. We were talking about cat butter sculptures And y'all I Googled butter sculptures. and let me tell you, it does not disappoint Google image Cat butter sculptures Can I tell you the very first one that came up Yeah, I'm going to show it to you. I'm going to put it in stories How do I describe this to you guys? This is the first one that came up for me. There's more than one It is a Cat made out of butter pooping butter poop next to a block of butter Yeah, I guess it's a thing. There was more than one by different people. What's that about? I don't know. I have to think this is not the cat butter sculpture Angela Martin would want. There's also some majestic cats out there made of butter. It was amazing. People do really weird things with butter. They do weird things with cats. There's the whole like litter box birthday cake. Have you seen those? Yes. Where it's a cake and it looks like litter and then you make like tootsie rolls into poopoo Yeah. for the cat lover in your life. putut that next to the butter cat thing ter. Happy birthday year Next year, that's it. That's my cake next year. I want the cat litter box cake All right, there was also a deleted Andy talking head after the scene because this would have been if you're keeping manure count, the second pile of manure he steps in. Yes. It's really funny. You guys, he's outside by the barn hosing off his shoes and he's sobbing and he says This just isn't how I imagined it. There's just so much shot on the DVD Oh At the office, Jim is watching Pam struggle with the copier Everyone's really laying it on thick with Michael. They're making him hot chocolate, they're opening doors for him. It's the best day of his life It really is We had a fan question from Stephanie M In ten minutes, twenty five seconds, Michael walks into his office and off camera, we hear him say, I almost choked Was that a line that was scripted or did Steve Carerell actually almost choke on his drink It was neither. It was an improvisation. He's doing that as Michael. He was not choking He's going to choke later n some tiramasu powder. It's the funniest choking scene I've ever seen. Ever seen. I want to study. I wna study it. I so believed it att first I thought, was that scripted? I had to go look. I had to look too. It was so brilliant. And then he did that thing and we're jumping ahead, you guys, but after two bites that were failed attempts ' he's choking, he goes for a third and then with his hands he's like, no No Yeah. yes, he talk of himself. So good Wh Wh why is gonna to take Angela to a new barn. It's beautiful. It's gorgeous. He's decorated it like how it will be on her wedding day with chairs and sparkly lights. Yeah, And Andy's like, hell. because he's happy too Yeah There's a priest and no manure. It's perfect Dwight is going to suggest that they sort of role play the ceremony. He wants Andy to get a bird's eye view. So he says, you know, you walk her down as if you're her father and she'll marry me, but you know so you can see what it looks like. Yes. And you know the priest doesn't speak any English. He only speaks German. so they don't know what he's saying In the script it says Angela Martin is moved to tears by this moment Mh I think because it is really playing out what's in her true heart Which would be what it would be like to marry Dwight. Yeah We had a fan question from LEB In the scene where Dwight and Angela are getting married at troop farms is the minister actually speaking German Yes, Mhm All of the German in the scene is accurate The actor who played the priest was Postboyid and he was cast because he was fluent in German. And also because he was comfortable riding horses. Yes, because he rides a horse at the end Randy said that the actor arrived early to set that day so that he could select one of the horses and practice on it Randy also said that they had to submit a translated version of the priest script to the NBC Legal Department of Standards and Practices because we had to prove that we weren't trying to sneak in any dialogue that would be considered unacceptable to the censors It feels like they don't trust us. I wonder why. Well, here is the translation The priest is saying Groom and bride You come here voluntarily with hearts prepared to receive each other in marriage Will you love each other Respect and be loyal to one another until death separates you Are you ready to fulfill your obligation to raise your children as Christian parents should So that is what Dwight and Angela are agreeing to in their marriage vows. I guess Dwight is going to forego standing in his own grave to marry her just so he can make it happen Yes because that is truly the shp tradition and would tip off Andy This whole thing is going to lead into Angela getting pretty sentimental Yeah, and she realizes I made a mistake with Andy. She says she made a mistake. I know. She tells Dwight I picked the wrong guy white man, he just messed it up does because he gets real arrogant. He's like, I know, and I took care of it, I fixed it And he sneakily had them married without her consent, and she does not like that and does not appreciate it. No He almost had her back Yeah in that moment. Yep But no, no. She's furious with him that he would do such a huge life moment in this sneaky way. We got a fan question from Rebecca M. Does Dwight's secret marriage actually count in the state of Pennsylvania? Or did the writers make this up? Good question. Well Pennsylvania is actually one of the only states where you can do something called self unite So Colorado also allows this el to the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania The tradition of self uniting in marriage dates back to sixteen eighty one It has its roots in the state's Quaker population And because the religious sect does not have any ministers, members of the Quaker faith traditionally self unite in marriage So these are often referred to as Quaker licenses self uniting licenses do not require the applicants to practice any specific religion or any religion at all So U Pennsylvania marriage law couples wishing to marry without an efficient P can obtain a self uniting license, they can perform their own ceremony. The only rule is there have to be at least two witnesses who are required to sign the documents. Which Angela and Andy signed this insurance document, and I guess the priest would have signed something. Yes. in this scenario, the priest and Andy were the the witnesses So, this marriage was legal How about that? this would have led to a delicious deleted car ride home scene Lady It's a rough one. It's right up there with a Jan Michael car right All right, this was in the shooting script It's not on the DVD. It's out there somewhere in the world, you guys. It was so amazing Angela is driving home, furious, Dwight's in the front passenger seat Andy is in the back leaning between the two of them. And they start out the car ride Andy's like, we did He's so happy and he starts singing at the top of his lungs This song And so I w Take a diger and I can real You from the top of my lung swat going. what he's singing in the back seat That exact part of the song is in the script. What you just heard, it's four non blondes. And Angela is so annoyed that Andy is singing. so she turns off the radio And Andy keeps singing and comes in with this part It awam I say he That sounds like Andy to me. rightight? Yeah. In the script, it says, Angela looks like she might drive the car into a tree Dwight is stealing glances at Angela. Andy, oblivious is singing for non bllence Wow. How did you get through that with Ed singing in the back seat though? How did you keep a straight face? I'm telling you we laughed through this whole episode. A Every single thing was funny to me This next scene is the one that I could not get through. I don't know how you did. It's one of my favorite scenes of the whole episode. It's one of my favorite scenes of the whole series. Yes, it's my favorite hank scene. Oh yeah So Michael, who can't make a decision has decided to call Hank from security. Yeah who, as he explains, hustled up the stairs because he thought it was an actual emergency. Well, you know, Michael texts people nine hundred eleven to get their attention So Hank arrives. And I just want to say, this was one of those scenes that was set at the reception desk And I'm in the shot and I wanted to edge myself out of the shot because I was ruining it because I was laughing. From the minute Hugh walks in The minute he takes a few of the candies and starts eating them, I was like, I wouldn't make it. That was an improvisation and the first time he did it, I laughed., because it was so brilliant. It's so brilliant So Michael is going to ask Hank, what do we do? He makes a big announcement. He's like, listen Hank is gonna decide Yeaher or chairs. And Hank's like Can I see the copi here opens up doors and stuff, looks at it and he's like, Now let me see the chair. And the room is riveted. They're hanging on his every word But the scene ends amazing My favorite is the ending of the scene. My favorite First of all, he sort of like explains his theory why the office would need both. There's new copiers. they're amazing. Yeah. Although those chairs he could not sit in. Yes. And Michael's like, so and everyone's waiting and he goes Let me look at the cop here again. Michael's like, get out, get out, get out Funny Angela, this was the first time for offffice ladies that I have watched the show with my kids. Oh, really? Yes. Oh, I watch them all the time with my kids. I know. I know, but my kids are older. I know, I know. It was a pinch and I said, guys, I have to watch this. I have to watch it. You can watch it with me or you can go outside and scoot her or something So I turned it on First of all, my son was just giggling through the whole thing. He's a little older, so I think he got more of a humor humor. Yeah. But this moment When he says, let me see the copier again, and Michael said, G out. they were dying. And then they started doing it as a bit It good. It was so fun. Gosh, I'm so excited as my kids get older for them to discover it. Yeah. I know Well, my kids love the office and, you know, every once in a while, we'll watch an episode and Isabel will go, M because Angela Martin is so mean And you know, Jack My stepson loves offffice ladies. I know. Whenever I see him, he'll tell me some fun thing he heard on offffice ladies, which I love. And he was like, I'm so excited that you guys are going to talk to Stephen Merchant. they watched it with you. So we kind of already talked about this scene where Michael is eating Teram Masu while talking to David Wallace, but what we did not mention is that David gives him some new information. Yeah He's like any boss that comes in under budget gets fifteen percent of that surplus. Michael whips out his calculator and he discovers that means he could get six hundred forty five dollars Do you know how far that can go at Burlington Cofactory? You're literally a king.. You walk in there with six hundred and forty five dollars. Well, Michael's got dollar signs now on the brain Pul walks out of his office and he announces that he doesn't think they need a new copier or new chairs He demonstrates that the copier works perfectly, and then he's going to demonstrate greatreat Pam's chair really is. Two things, first of all In the bloopers, Jenna when Steve tries to use the copier That coper actually was really crappy. It was awful. It was really old and crappy and half the time would not work in real life. When we needed When we needed it to. And it would eat paper, it would like make noises. and he says, this copier works fine. And he hits the button. and in real life, it went an. And you guys all started laughing It was so funny. Paul Feig sent us an audio clip because this was one of his favorite memories from shooting this episode. Here's what he had to say There were so many fun things in season five, but weirdly one of my favorite episodes that we did was The surplus. And it's an episode that people don't talk about as much. And I just think it's got some of the funniest stuff in it. I think I laughed harder during that. My favorite gag One of my favorite gags that I ever got to do on the office was when Michael's trying to convince everybody that they don't need a new copier and all the chairs are good. And we have that gag, Jenner where he comes behind the desk and just tries to prove that your chair iss not broken. and I had them rig up this thing. So because a whole joke is supposed be he sits on your chair and it just sinks down below below the desk. And so worked really hard to have them rig this chair up that sunk so slowly Steve just got in it and's just talking like, S seeee, there'shing wrong with this and you just it takes you a few seconds to realize that he's just very slowly sinking down behind the desk. And then just Steve just destroyed me when notot only is he down low, but he won't admit it. and then way he has to stand up' like, I'd like it take such effort for him to get out of the very low chair. So that was a real favorite gag of mine Well, every time he would get out of the chair, he would make some other different grunting noise and it would doom me in If you watch my face in the scene, I have this really like over exaggerated furrowed brow. I was having to make a very strong acting choice. because I couldn't do blank I couldn't pay it. I had to do something with my faith. Right. I had completely forgotten about this scene And when I rewatched it, it's been a long time since I've seen this episode And when I rewatched it this week I was like Watching it ns a Is this chair sining? Oh my God, it's chairsinking. it was so funny. It was so funny and it's so subtle. It's such a small moment. And in order to make it work, I could not be sitting on the chair at the beginning of the scene So it looks like I'm sitting and then he comes over and tays you have squat? I had to squat. Sy work out and hold my butt and hover And you can tell a little bit because in order to do it, I kind of had to like, you know, really like spread my legs to get like a good solid squat on the chair Above the chair. Yeah It's like going to the bathroom in a portter potty. Yes. halfway through your pee, like your legs start shaking your head. Oh crap, I need to work out more. This was a workout day for me. Oh my gosh. That's how we pulled off that gag. Also in this moment, everyone starts to realize that Michael knows about the bonus. Oscar calls him out. He's like think you know. And he's like, what's fifteen percent of four thousand three hundred That's the surplus, and Michael immediately goes six hundred and forty five dollars And he's like, whyy'd you say dollars? And he's like, I wases like, that's just how my brain No He's a genius. says Okay, Michael, what's fifteen percent of two hundred, and then Michael dumped doesn't know. Yeah. That little bit of Kevin thinking that Michael is a math genius in that moment. Paul Fek said him and his wife Laurie love that little bit and that they do that bit that If someone says something, they'd be like, He's a genius. Oh, they do Kevin. That's their little bit. this leads to A very big smooch Andy and Dwight and Angela have returned to the office Yeah. And once you piss Angela off, she's going to dig in her heels. And she's going to make a very public show to Dwight that she has chosen once again Andy over him Yeah So Andy is eating a tuna sandwich that he's real proud of. He wants Jim to know tuna, I'm eating tuna Angela marches across the bullpin and kisses him M. He's leaning back in his chair. She lays on his lap and grabs his face Do you know what the stage direction was for this kiss? Read it. Angela kisses Andy with a passion we haven't seen since Jim and Pam in Casino Night. I know I read that We had a lot of questions about this scene though, Angela. Oh, well, I bet I have some stories for you. Dory C and Amanday both want to know, did Ed actually have tuna in his mouth when you kissed him Yes, that That was part of the joke. Leee and Jean, who wrote this episode, they thought it would be very funny if Andy was eating something gross when I had to go kiss him. And that's why he has that line, Look tuna, tuna fish sandwich just like you because they really wanted to make sure the audience knew he was eating this smelly tuna fish sandwich. And I was supposed to go over and we're supposed to have this huge kiss while he's has tuna fish in his mouth. And then you see me get up and I wipe my mouth. Yeah Ed was so sweet. He said, Angela I am going to hold my lips together. I'm going to take a deep breath I'm going to take a bite of the tun of your sandwich, and then I am going to purse my lips together and not open them at all becausecause I don't want you to get any of this tuna fish. And I was like, oh, Ed, that is so sweet And so we literally did, you know, what we call like grandparent kissing where you just like, h He did not open his lips for a second. and they really wanted me to sort of have this long kiss, right? Yeah. And I was in control. I was the one that grabbed him, and then I was the one that released him. And I remember one time they were like, can you sell it a little bit more? Can you make it a little bit bigger of a moment? And poor Ed, the minute we broke apart, he went Gz he hadn't been breathing? He was holding his breath with a big bite of tuna forish sandwich in his mouth. Here's my question. Couldn't Phil have made fakey tuna fish I don't know. Would that have been better I don't know. I mean, what could it have been? I don't know. You could have maybe, I mean, whatever it is What look going to be mayo based But it could have been chopped up chicken I would have b gross, but it's not as stinky True Ed was a true gentleman. He kept his mouth closed I didn't get any tuna fish on my person And you guys, when my character stands up and says and now I have a legal issue to attend to. I actually had a big speech that got deleted. Really? Yes. And I was so nervous to do it because it was one of those moments where I had a speech in the bullpin with everyone looking at me This is how the script described everyveryone reacting to the kiss and my speech after. Okay. Everyone watches with disgust. Dreit's eyes go wide Angela pulls away. Andy continues to chew and then swallows the bite Angela wipes her mouth And here's the speech. I would marry you during an earthquake in the middle of a tornado I would marry you in the front row of an Elton John concert. I don't care how terrible a place it is. I just want to be with you. Now. I have a legal matter to clear up Not an Elton John fan. Clearly, clelearly not. But yeah, so I had that speech I had to do. And they gave me a few alts, you know, and I was really nervous. but all that made it in was now I have a legal matter to clear up. And I actually think that was a good edit because the kiss was enough. Yeah, right? That was enough of like shoving it in Dwight's face. I didn't need to make this speech But yes No tuna. Thank you, Ed. Very different from a kiss with Rain who she was eating tuna in real life backstage For no reason at all. Kning for a kissing s. Yes, that are drinking coffee while eating like an everything bagel that had onions on it. Yeah. Different, very different approaches This whole copier chair thing is gonna wrap up. The employees are going to confront Michael in his office, and he basically tells them, you know what? you decide All have to agree O else I'm taking the bonus because he kind of thinks like there's no way that's gonna happen, right? Of course he thinks there's no way. He thinks he gotem They very quickly decide to get the chairs. He was like, Son of a. He actually says Mother. Yeah, he does F Was he putting sugar in his diet coode? He was. Yeah, he wanted to sweeten it. Oh my Lord The whole thing kind of ends with Michael. He has a talking head. He wants you to know what he learned What did learn? He learned that his team is faster at making a decision than he thought. He also learned you should never buy a fur coat with a credit card until you actually have the money to pay for it. Michael, why in the world are you buying a fur coat? You are never going to wear it It's ridiculous looking. Yes. He's just like a kid that gets money and doesn't know what to do with it. In his mind, that's, I don't know fancy luxury or something. Yeah. Fancy people have those or something. I guess so. The third thing he learned is that people think it's cool to throw fake blood on you as you leave Burlington Coat Factory So he has a ruined fur coat that he bought on credit that he can't afford. That's how his day ended. Yeah. Jim and Pam's Day is going to end with a truce But oh, can you make me three copies of this? I'm just kidding, I need four. Is this Jim Sass? Oh, that's some Jim Sas I have one final question for you. Yes Would you be team copier or team chair team chair. What would you be T team chair. Yeah, Team copier doesn't even make any sense to me, frankly. I mean, I would just suffer through a crappy machine. How many times have you worked in an office where either the fax machine, I know I'm a dinosaur Or the copier didn't work great, but a chair, that's like your tailbone, That's your spine, that's your butt. Is any one team copier, can we put a poll in office ladadyies pod tonight? Yes. I'm so curious. I'll put a poll. We'll see. We wanna see. Well, you guys, that was spend the surplus and also Angela's birthday W woo! Yay, Angela! Yay! nexte time I talk to you guys, I'll be American sururveyed fifty to seventy five.
