Weight Loss - The Office (Season 5 - Episode 01/02)

Dunder Mifflin is running a company-wide weight loss competition with a prize of extra vacation days for whichever branch loses the most weight. Everyone is initially enthusiastic, but the competition takes its toll on them... with Kelly trying so hard to she passes out during one weigh in. Creed sells Kelly a tapeworm to help her weight loss, but Creed privately admits that it "wasn't a tapeworm."

Dwight tricks Phyllis into going somewhere with him and abandons her miles away from the office with no phone or money to force her to exercise. While they collectively lose a lot of weight, the Scranton branch doesn't win the competition. Stanley, proud of his individual results, decides to take the vacation anyway.

Pam is off in New York City starting her graphic design class It's to last 3 months. Jim asks Pam to meet him for lunch at an interstate rest stop between Scranton and New York City and he FINALLY proposes to her... outside... in the pouring rain. She accepts! (nobody is surprised there).

Ryan, back at the office, apologizes to various people around the office for his past behavior, while keeping a list of people who wrong him to take revenge on them when he's back on top. He even apologies to Kelly and asks her out... but she's dating Darryl now so she declines.

Holly catches Angela chastising Kevin. Still believing Kevin is mentally challenged, she yells at Angela. Kevin awkwardly reveals he is not "retarded", and an embarrassed Holly apologizes and leaves. Holly's interest in Michael continues until she finds him talking to Jan (who is still pregnant). Holly goes out on a date with Oscar's yoga instructor. She buys Counting Crows tickets as a surprise for their next date but he never calls her. Michael calls the yoga instructor stupid and offers to buy the tickets... and when she accepts he takes them and tears them up.

Phyllis blackmails Angela with her knowledge of Dwight and Angela's secret affair. She's taking over the Party Planning Committee

Angela dislikes all of Andy's wedding ideas, especially that he's booked his a cappella band 'Here Comes Treble' to play at their wedding.

At the end of the episode, Toby is briefly seen in a Costa Rican hospital with a neck injury he received while zip-lining.

Cake? Who suggested cake? Angela points to Phyllis

We lost weight today. I think it’s OK to reward ourselves once in a while.

Are you kidding me? We only lost one pound, Phyllis.

And what is that?

Cake.

You know, we’re gonna have to try a little harder if we are going to win this thing.

Happy Birthday, Stanley! kicks cake onto Michael

It’s kind of a good news, bad news situation. The bad news is we’re not doing very well, so we really had to starve ourselves this whole week. But the good news is that all the other branches are doing just as bad as we are, so corporate upped the prize to five days. So if we stay fat long enough, we may actually get a whole month off.

That wasn’t a tapeworm.

Jim. I wanted to apologize… for how I treated you last year. I lost sight of myself and now that I’ve quit the rat race I’ve realized there’s so much more to life than being the youngest VP in the company’s history. I’ve even started volunteering. Giving back to the community.

Well that’s great. shakes Ryan’s hand You’re talking about your court ordered community service?

I’m gonna write you both up for not working.

I’m gonna write you up for not working.

Ok, well played. Neither of us’ll write the other up for not working.

Where?

The rest stop where that soda exploded on me. Exit 17, I think. 1 o’clock.

Alright. See you there.

Yeah, oh, hey. Did he call?

I just got off… Kendall? I just got off…

No no, did, I heard you talking to Oscar about that guy. What, what happened? Did he call?

Oh, no.

Really?

No.

Aach.

And you know what? I even got two tickets to see the Counting Crows tonight as a surprise. Why do guys not call when they say they are gonna call?

I dunno. I always call everybody back right away. He’ll call back though. Give him until the end of the day, he’ll call. If he doesn’t, he is loco.

Thanks. That’s sweet. Anyways, umm, seems like we lost to Utica by only eight pounds.

Ugh.

Well, at least everyone lost weight. That’s all that really matters.

Wait, do we have until the end of the day?

So we’re only eight pounds behind Utica. Now, I know it’s a stretch but we could weigh ourselves again at the end of the day and maybe win this thing after all.

Leave it to me, boss. I can get this whole office to make weight. turns up thermostat It’s gonna be a little toasty in here. Good old fashioned sweat lodge.

Andy Bernard does not lose contests. He wins them… or he quits them because they are unfair.

Kelly eating in the break room Hey, is that healthy food?

Nope.

We’re trying to win a contest here, Kelly. Please?

Hey, Michael. I just scheduled lunch with a client so I might be back a little late.

Ok, that is fine. Just water, and be back by weigh-in, ok?

Perfect.

I hate to even ask because you have been so accommodating about all the wedding stuff.

Your wish is my command.

Is there any way our first dance can be to my favorite song, The Little Drummer Boy?

Of course!

Really?

Yeah! I mean it’s a great song. I always thought it was bigger than Christmas anyway. You know?

Mmhmm.

And you know what? The guys already know it so it’s easy breezy.

The guys?

I didn’t tell you.

Mm-mm

Here Comes Treble, class of ’96 was available for our big day, so, I booked ’em.

I don’t think that…

And, they are collectively my best man. And they are crashing with us for three weeks, so… it totally works out.

I don’t know if I want your old college a capella group to be our wedding band.

Ok, I hear you, sweetheart, but this is a deal breaker. But you know what? You’re gonna love these guys. Carl 1, Carl 2, Broccoli Rob, Spare Rib, Doobie, Lunch Box, Boner Champ, that’s me, Pubie Lewis and the News, Hopscotch, Jingle Jangle, Sandwich. These are the best best-man a guy could ever hope for.

Angela dials the phone Let’s talk about this later. Dwight’s pager buzzes

Mm-wah! Angela walks away, Dwight follows

Hey! This is not half-way! I did the math. I had to drive way longer than you. Montclair would have been closer, so you have to buy lunch.

Jim gets down on one knee

What are you doing?

I just… couldn’t wait.

Oh my God!

Pam, will you marry me?

Oh my God!

So?

Yes! they embrace and kiss

God. Where is Jim?

I’m calling it. I guess that’s curtains for the yoga guy.

Aww, really?

Yeah.

I have to say, I think the problem with that whole thing…

Yeah?

…was that he was a complete stupid idiot.

Aww man, I really wanted to see them.

I know. I love Counting Crows.

Look at where my seats were.

Wow, really?

Yeah.

That’s a shame. A shame to waste these. I want to buy them from you.

Michael, you don’t have to buy them.

I do. No. I do. I, I want to. Trust me. I really do.

Ok.

Ok?

Yeah.

Alright. Alright! tears up tickets Just, I want you to just forget about him, ok? Case closed. Umm, can I pay you tomorrow? I have like a 60 dollar limit on my ATM, so…

Yeah.

Is that good?

Yeah.

Hey, sorry everybody.

What are you smiling about there smiley pants? You’re late.

Wet Tuna!

Hey Dwight.

OK.

What’s up, Meredith?

Nothing.

Dripping on me.

Darryl, would you do the honors?

Two thousand one hundred seventy-five. everyone moans Sorry guys.

Nonono, no, no, I don’t want to hear moaning. This is a good day. You guys accomplished something big. You lost a ton of weight, literally. A lot of weight. And I don’t care what any stupid scale says. You guys are all gigantic losers.

I don’t know about anyone else. But it was a good summer for me. I lost seven pounds. And you know what? I’m just gonna take five days off anyway.

in a hospital bed, watching Entourage in Spanish Oh, I went zip lining my third day in Costa Rica. I guess the harness wasn’t strapped in exactly right. I broke my neck. And, I’ve been in the hospital five weeks now. I still haven’t seen the beach. It’s nice to have visitors.
