Saving the Branch

It was just like any other day at Dunder Mifflin Scranton Branch. It was September 26, 2005. Michael Scott is the Regional Manager of the branch. Michael liked to start off his day with a quick conversation with all of his friends, but every time Michael talked, everyone cringed. As Michael was walking to his office, he stopped to talk to Jim Halpert. “Hey, Jim your quarterlies are looking really good,” Michael stated.
“Thanks, Michael,” Jim responded.
“Yep.”
“So, why’d you come over here?” Jim asked.
“Uh alright I will talk to you later,” replied Michael as he walked away. Michael then walked over to Stanley, and shouted, “Stanley the manly! What’s up?”
“Leave me alone, Michael,” scolded Stanley as he tried to keep working. Michael then decided to chat with Phyllis.
“Phyllis Vance, Vance Refrigeration, how’s work going?” Michael asked.
“Good. Can you stop interrupting me?” Phyllis replied. Michael then walked over to see Pam, but he was cut off by Dwight K. Schrute.
“Michael! As Assistant to the Regional Manager, I should be the one to tell you that Corporate called earlier and they’re shutting down the branch,” Dwight yelled.

The bench was Phyllis, Kevin, and Oscar. Michael and his team began intense training with some of the greatest Dunder Mifflin basketball players ever, Darryl and Roy. Michael knew that the training would be rough, but they needed it. They had shoulders and abs, biceps and triceps, quads and hips, and chest and back all in the same day.

The first time I noticed Mike Newton, I was at the campus dining hall completing my community service. Miss Porter’s School required all students to do ten hours of volunteer work each week. According to the program director, Mr. Banner, it gave us the opportunity not only to prepare for college but also, experience firsthand the joy and sense of purpose that comes from serving others. I had undoubtedly won the placement lottery and been given the prestigious job of kitchen duty at our school’s cafeteria. Ten hours each week, I scrubbed tables, filled salt shakers, helped take inventory, and completed any other menial tasks that needed doing.

One of the all-time, greatest shows to ever grace my television screen is, none other than, The Office. Michael Scott, played by Steve Carrell, is every embodiment of how one should NOT talk and act in American society. His language and communicative style completely opposes that which is acceptable. Consequently, I thought what better for me to use in this assignment then a scene from The Office that makes me burst out into laughter time and time again – Season 3, episode 1: “Gay Witch Hunt” (17:00 – 19:45).

Another reason Michael is the best basketball player in the N.B.A is because he was a hard working player. Michael was constantly trying to find ways to improve his game he would practice until it was perfect. Michael was working on a signature shot. As the story stated, “...he spent the summer in Hollywood making the movie ‘Space Jam,’ but he demanded that the producers build a basketball court where he could work out every day. Old friends dropping by the Warner lot noticed that he was working particularly hard on a shot that was already a minor part of his repertoire but which he was now making a signature shot––a jumper where he held the ball, and then, at the last minute, when he finally jumped, fell back slightly, giving himself almost perfect separation from the defensive player. ”

When she informs Michael, he tells her that if she leaves then they will only have two. Whether he means that there will only be two minorities left to participate or two women is unclear, but either way it was inappropriate. After this, he says “Namaste” and attempts to interpret an Indian accent. During this scene, Michael commits three offenses in his stereotype.
