Crime Aid - The Office (Season 5, Episode 05)

Pam realizes that living in New York is expensive... and she's run out of money. Michael helps her get a job at the Dunder Mifflin corporate office, but now Michael knows where she is and annoys her with random calls several times a day.

Michael and Holly are now dating. They have sex in the office building but forget to door on their way out. The next morning they arrive to a ransacked office - thieves broke into the building and stole various other belongings. Realizing the robbery was their fault, Michael and Holly decide to set up an auction in the warehouse to raise money to match the value of items stolen.

Michael allows the staff to auction off any item they choose.

• Holly - Yoga Lesson
• Phyllis - A hug
• Darryl - The opportunity to join him and the rest of the warehouse workers at a bard at that exact moment.
• Kevin - "I'll do your taxes."
• Creed - Creed "all-inclusive"
• Michael - Bruce Springstein tickets (which he "can't find")
• David Wallace - A weekend at his place in Martha's Vineyard
• Hank - CD's of him performing

Angela and Andy have set a date for their wedding... Dwight is upset. Phyllis suggests that Dwight give Angela an ultimatum: call off the wedding or lose out on him. Angela ultimately says no to Dwight, so he asks Phyllis for more advice - her advice - Move On. Dwight doesn't want to hear it.

At the bar, Jim runs into Pam's ex Roy, who joins him and the warehouse workers for some beers. Jim reveals to Roy that he is engaged to Pam, which Roy congratulates him on, and also mentions that Pam is at art school in New York.

David Wallace notices Michael and Holly kissing at the end of the auction and says he didn't know they were romantically involved.

Yeah?

Yeah.

cockney accent Consider yourself… at home!

Dwight groans Ugh.

Get in.

Where are we going?

I know she loves me, Phyllis. I am sure of it. She practically told me so.

Then you need to give her an ultimatum. Tell her she needs to make a choice. You or Andy. If she pick you, great. If not, you can move on.

Are you sure that’s going to work?

It did when Bob said I had to stop talking to my sister on the phone so much.

Wait, this isn’t our floor. Dwight…

How’s everyone doing? My door is always open if anyone wants to talk.

I don’t want to talk. I want my laptop back.

Nobody steals from Creed Bratton and gets away with it. The last person to do this disappeared. His name? whispering Creed Bratton.

To recoup their losses, I am planning a little charity auction, where people from all over Scranton can come and bid on our goods and services. I’m calling it crime-aid. It’s like farm aid, but instead of farms fighting against AIDS, it is us fighting against our own poverty.

I think it’s a fun idea.

Thank you.

We could auction off things we do for each other like cleaning or tennis lessons. My sorority did it all the time.

Okay, I’m gonna have to stop you right there. Was this a sorority that you didn’t get into a real sorority so you had to kind of form your own?

Move on, Michael.

Okay. Okay! Well, come on, let’s have an auction. Let’s do this. We’ll auction off people like in the olden days.

So, in order to recoup the value of items we liked, we have to spend more money on things we don’t want. Who would ever come to this?

I don’t know, it could be any number of people. It could be a pedestrian. It could be an old person. It could be a lookie-loo. Or, it could be… a Bruce Springsteen fan – what? Who said that? I did. Why did I say that? Oh, I think you know why I said that. I think it is very apparent. I think it goes without saying. Bear with me. There’s a point there. But what is the point? I don’t understand what he’s saying. It seems a little shady. It seems a little foggy. Well, it’s not a little foggy there’s actually something going on here-

Do you need us for any of this?

Do I?

Michael scored the big ticket item. Springsteen tickets! The boss scored the boss.

Yeah, I think that’s pretty boss.

He knows how to get things. He got me.

Whoa!

giggles Sorry.
