Casual Friday - The Office (Season 5, Episode 26)

Kevin arrives early to work has brought in an enormous pot of chili for the staff to enjoy. Unfortunately, he drops the pot and spills the contents all over the floor and uses nearby binders to shovel it back into the pot while still getting it all over himself.

Michael, now back at his old job as regional manager, announces that Pam and Ryan have joined the sales team and that they will retain their old clients from the Michael Scott Paper Company. Dwight, Andy, Phyllis and Stanley are upset because most of those clients used to be theirs (and Michael stole them). They are also upset that Michael treats Pam and Ryan with more respect because they were the only people to follow him to his new company. Michael believes his company operates within the branch despite the buyout. Dwight calls a secret meeting in the warehouse with the salespeople, minus Pam and Ryan, to think of a way to get their clients back.

Jim is trying to be impartial, but informs Michael of the potential mutiny and heads to the break room to play board games with Creed until the conflict is resolved. In retaliation, Michael, Pam and Ryan eat the rest of the sale's staff lunch after they explain their disappearance by stating they went out to lunch together. Things take a turn for the worse when Dwight interrupts a sale call Ryan is having with one of his former clients. Ryan has made a mistake which results in the client's first complaint in 10 years. Ryan loses the client and Pam blames Dwight.

Having finally had it, Dwight calls the two of them out for their inexperience as salespeople and Michael steps in and demands that Dwight make up with Ryan. Dwight refuses and he, Andy, Phyllis and Stanley threaten to quit and start their own paper company unless they get their clients back. When Michael calls their bluff and starts rudely throwing "seed money" at them and demands an apology from them for having not followed him when he quit, Phyllis breaks down and says that they were the real victims of Michael's company, not corporate, and that they were hurt since Michael had treated them like family.

It is Casual Friday and most take the dress code too loosely. Angela complains to Toby about Oscar wearing sandals to work and having to look at his feet. Meredith disgusts the rest of the employees by wearing a very short dress without any panties or a bra, thus exposing herself to the rest of the office as she tries to adjust it to meet Toby's requests. Toby calls a meeting with everyone regarding Casual Friday. When Dwight tries to take charge of the meeting, Toby cancels Casual Friday, much to everyone's disappointment.

Michael calls a meeting with Dwight, Andy, Phyllis and Stanley to give them a formal apology, but they do not accept it since all they want is their clients back. Michael reluctantly agrees to give back their clients. In doing so, however, there are not enough clients to keep both Pam and Ryan on the sales team, leaving Michael to decide which one to keep. He talks it over with Jim, who suggests Pam would be better suited, but Michael argues that Jim is biased since Pam is his fiancée. Michael calls a meeting with Pam and tells her she did not get the sales job. Pam is visibly disappointed, but Michael starts laughing and tells her that she did get it, having offered Ryan a temp position again. Pam tells him he should stop with the "fake-firing" joke, but Michael decides to pull the joke on the new receptionist, Erin.

Best Funny Quotes From The Office - Casual Friday

Photo of Kevin Malone
At least once a year, I like to bring in some of my Kevin’s Famous Chili. The trick is to undercook the onions. Everybody is going to get to know each other in the pot. I’m serious about this stuff. I’m up the night before pressing garlic and dicing whole tomatoes. I toast my own Ancho chilies. It’s a recipe passed down from Malone’s for generations. It’s probably the thing I do best.

Someone is returning! He started his own company, and now he’s back. Who could it be? I’ll give you a hint. He is a man. A man you have missed with all your heart. A man who has ruined all other men for you. Who is it?

What I want to do right now is try something a little different. I’m going to throw it out there, starting with this meeting. I want you guys to run it. I want you to say whatever you want, take it away. Your meeting.

Can you give us a hint?

When I needed salespeople for my new paper company, everyone here turned their back on me. Am I going to ask them to beg for forgiveness? No. Am I going to ask for big, crying apology? No. Am I going to ask them to slit their wrists for me? No. I just want a tiny, microscopic version of that.

We’re in crisis mode here, do you understand? The two unqualified so-called salespeople are being favored because they all failed together. And frankly, I’m not convinced that Michael and Pam didn’t have a thing going while they were gone.

Oh. Well, that–that’s a great idea, Jim. Oh, I totally see your point. Okay, we’ll talk to Michael directly. So uh, meeting is over, I guess. I’ll see everyone upstairs.
