Special Project - The Office (Season 8, Episode 14)

Just as Pam's maternity leave ends and Angela also returns, Dwight is assigned with the task of forming a team and traveling down to Florida for three weeks to help Sabre launch a chain of retail stores. He and Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) must select employees to accompany Dwight to Tallahassee. At first Dwight chooses Darryl, Phyllis, Toby, Angela, and Oscar, for varying reasons, but Andy refuses to let so many essential employees leave for three weeks. While letting Dwight have Darryl and Phyllis, Andy chooses Kelly, Kevin and Cathy to join the team instead, upsetting Dwight. Dwight then prematurely announces the picks and deliberately riles up the employees, hoping to change the team. Andy decides to let people convince him why they should go before making his final decision, further stressing Dwight.

Meanwhile, Jim receives a text from Robert California, which seems to invite him on the trip to Tallahassee. After unsuccessfully trying to back out via text, Jim and Pam both agree Jim should just go. During Jim's request session with Andy and Dwight, Jim shows the texts from California, shocking both Andy and Dwight, making it all but official that Jim will be going to Tallahassee. The final team includes Cathy, Ryan, Stanley, Erin and Jim, infuriating Dwight. At first he tries to convince the members to change their minds using various Florida stereotypes, at one point filling the conference room with 300 mosquitoes, but after realizing they all have excellent ideas for the project, he is content with the team.

Erin expresses frustration that Andy is still with Jessica. After Andy and Dwight jointly choose her for the project team, she admits in a talking head that she is not going to return to Scranton once she arrives in Florida. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that Cathy also has ulterior motives for the trip, intending to seduce Jim while the two are in Florida together, stating, during a cell phone conversation to a friend, that "... Definitely we will. It's three weeks in Tallahassee. What else is there to do?"

Darryl discovers warehouse worker Val has knitted him a beanie. Unsure if she intended it as a romantic gift or simply one of friendship, Darryl decides to find out by giving her a Valentine's Day gift of an expensive pair of cashmere ladies' gloves with a romantic card. Upon discovering that Val had knitted a beanie for everyone in the warehouse, an embarrassed Darryl passes the gloves off to warehouse worker Nate, who is moved by the gift, and later gives him personal coupons for repayment. Darryl is further disappointed when a man named Brandon calls asking for the address of the warehouse to send flowers to his girlfriend Val. He is intrigued, however, when she says the flowers were from her mother, despite him pointing out the caller had had a deep voice and gone by the name Brandon. Darryl decides Val's gift was "a love beanie".

Photo of Erin
Yeah. That’s cute. When I saw it in CVS it made me gag too. Andy laughs, walks away, Erin throws away her pin

For a while there I thought something would change. But nope. Andy’s still with Jessica, they even carpool together most days. I don’t know, I wouldn’t mind carpooling every day with Andy, but I wouldn’t want to spend that much time with Jessica.

What do we have here?

Val knit me a beanie. But I can’t if it’s a "we’re just friends" beanie or a "I’m hot, you’re hot, let’s get it poppin’" beanie. So I’m gonna up the ante, give her a clearly romantic gift, and we’ll get to the meaning of the beanie.

My first task as special project manager Dwight Shrute? Assembling a crack team. I need people who are loyal. People who’ll help me get an inroad with the gay Hispanic community. People who won’t be missed. We don’t need idiots, good for nothing’s, methheads or… What’s your name?

Photo of Pam Beesley

Photo of Andy Bernard
You wanna take Darryl, Phyllis, Toby, Angela and Oscar?
Yes.
Photo of Dwight Schrute

Can I interest you in someone less essential? Like uh a Creed or a Meredith perhaps?
Oh my god.

Oh god.
Photo of Dwight Schrute

You have your team.

Kevin!? Kelly!? Cathy!? Andy just gave me a chain with three weak links. Have you ever tried to use a chain with three weak links? I have. And now I no longer own an arctic wolf.

Your girlfriend? Is your girlfriend Val?

Yeah, do you know her?
We’re friends. We’re friends.
Photo of Darryl Phylbin

Cool. Um, so can I get that address or…?
Yeah sorry, I’m just looking for a pen.
Photo of Darryl Phylbin
Photo of Bob
Why do you need a pen?
Back off! I got my reasons.
Photo of Darryl Phylbin

Photo of Dwight Schrute
May I have your attention please? Could Cathy, Darryl, Phyllis, Kevin and Kelly please join me in the conference room immediately?
Why?
Photo of Kelly Kapoor
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Oh, no big deal. It’s just that you five have been deemed most deserving of a three week all expenses paid business trip to Tallahassee, Florida.
Hell yeah.
Photo of Kelly Kapoor
Photo of Stanley Hudson
What?!
Oh, I’m sorry Stanley, I can’t share any more details with you. You see, Andy rejected you.
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Photo of Meredith Palmer
Wait. Cathy gets to go? Uh, why does she even still work here? Pam is back.
It just feels like a slap in the face.
Photo of Oscar Martinez
Photo of Dwight Schrute
I can understand your pain and your rage, but you know what? Andy is an honorable man, let us not question his choices. I’m sure he had his reasons.
We’re not questioning his reasons. I just wanna know what they are.
Photo of Oscar Martinez
Photo of Dwight Schrute
I know, you and me both, brother. It seemed kinda random to me, but he was pretty clear on who he thought truly deserved this boondoggle of a lifetime.
Well, he nailed it because I do deserve a vacation. Sometimes Batman’s gotta take off his cape.
Photo of Kevin Malone
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Good point. But we’re gonna be working pretty hard until five PM. After that it’s gonna be beach volleyball, trips to Cape Canaveral, and sea kayaking with Gloria Estefan.
What are the criteria for going?

Photo of Dwight Schrute
It might be innate goodness versus innate badness? But there’s an easy way to find out. knocks on Andy’s office door Oh Andy, gotta few questions for you.
Mooshie mooshie. Dwight laughs
Photo of Andy Bernard
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Uh, the Florida picks got out, and people were just kind of curious as to why they weren’t picked and maybe you could just clarify?
Well uh…well the deliberations were confidential so…I feel like we should respect that.
Photo of Andy Bernard
Photo of Stanley Hudson
Respect it? You’re trying to tell me Kevin Malone deserves more than Stanley Hudson.
Hey!
Photo of Kevin Malone
Photo of Angela Martin
Ok, it’s obvious Andy picked the people that are least important to the office.
Important? Oh because you and your enormous monster baby are so important to the branch.
Photo of Kelly Kapoor
Photo of Angela Martin
My baby is not a monster!
Hey. Be proud of your enormous monster baby. I was once an enormous monster baby.

Guys. Guys. Guys. Come on, seriously? We cannot let this trip cause this kind of rift, guys!
Stop calling us "guys".

Dudes…the dudes who are going to Florida were picked by Dwight and me.
OK hey. I specifically remember there were a lot of other people I thought should be considered.
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Photo of Andy Bernard
Wha-
If anybody’s going to Florida, it should be me. Every shirt I have that isn’t a work shirt is a Tommy Bahama. I’m the only person in this office who watches Burn Notice.
Photo of Stanley Hudson
Photo of Andy Bernard
OK, I did not realize that so many of you wanted to go so badly, so if you feel like you have a very good reason to go to Florida, I’m happy to hear you out.
Great idea! So why doesn’t everyone just take the next five to six hours, come up with a statement on why you feel you deserve to go to Florida and Andy and I will listen to it.
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Photo of Andy Bernard
No. That is a ridiculous waste of time.
For you maybe.
Photo of Kelly Kapoor
Photo of Andy Bernard
Five to six hours?
Three to four hours.
Photo of Dwight Schrute

No no no no.
Two to three hours…

Absolutely. Works for me.

I have already picked my team: Darryl, Oscar, Angela, Phyllis and Toby and that is the team that I am taking. What’s that? It’s not up to me? I only have influence? Well, that’s all Baltzer Gladfielder had and no one eats owls for Thanksgiving.

You have two young dynamic people in this office who know trends, who know youth. That’s myself and Kelly Kapoor, you need one of us there.
Photo of Ryan
Photo of Andy Bernard
Or both?
Not both. Just one, me. Or if not me, Kelly. Ideally me. Again, youth knowledge. That’s what you get when you put Ryan Howard on your special project team…or Kelly Kapoor. Again, not both. Thanks.

Very impressive. He put a lot of work into that.
Mm-hm. Powerpoints are the peacocks of the business world. All show, no meat.

Because I feel like that I’m in a place with my gambling rehab that I can finally start going to dog racing again. You know, just sitting, watching, enjoying the sport? Maybe putting down a few dollars if there’s like a crazy mismatch or something…

When do we leave?

Wow. Seasonal effective disorder, AKA: sad. That sounds like a very real thing, Toby.
It is real, thank you for saying that.

Maybe it’s what she does here…
Well…

Photo of Erin
Hey guys, any spots left?
Erin, you wanna go to Tallahassee?
Photo of Andy Bernard
Photo of Erin
I do. I really do. I think it would be a nice way to clear my head.
You know I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to clear your head any more than it has been already. I think you need a workplace where the burdens of everyday life keep you tethered to reality.
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Photo of Erin
Either or. But if you can find someone to fill in, I would love to go.
Well it wouldn’t be hard to find someone to fill in..
Photo of Andy Bernard

Really? Oh, great. Good, ahem, good.

Total nightmare.
Photo of Jim Halpert
Photo of Pam Beesley
I was going to say good because I’ll have all the help I need?
Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. They’re incredibly helpful, you’re lucky to have them. I mean with them there, you probably won’t even know I’m gone.
Photo of Jim Halpert
Photo of Pam Beesley
Exactly.

Well, Jim enters No! No! Absolutely not! You are not going. Over my dead body, no. Andy?
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Photo of Andy Bernard
Tuns, I’m really sorry. You’re too essential to the operation here, I can’t let you go.
I wouldn’t say that…it’s a bit much.
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Photo of Jim Halpert
You know Dwight, if you didn’t want me to go the smart move would be to tell Andy that I actually am essential to the operation. That way I couldn’t go.

Hot? What are you talking about? This is a nice temperate Florida morning. Eighty-five degrees, seventy-five percent humidity. This is the exact environment you will be facing for the next three weeks of your life. Welcome to special projects orientation. The next three weeks of your life are gonna be the most miserable you’ve ever faced. They’re gonna be hard, they’re gonna be dirty. You’re gonna wish you were dead.

But…
But? There’s not buts. That’s it. You’ll wish you were dead. You seem a little disturbed, you wanna stay here?

No no, I want to go.

I released three hundred mosquitoes in the conference room, just temporarily. When I’m done, the frogs will take care of the mosquitoes. Frog in plastic cage ribbits

Yes, when he brushes your soft supple cheeks with his worn leathery hands and says "I’m gonna make you the seventh Mrs. Rosenblatt" unless you ring this bell. Ring it! Ring the bell. You wanna spend the rest of your life changing your husband’s colostomy bags? Huh? Do you? Ring it! Wha-, Jim slaps Dwight’s forehead oh. What was that?

Oh Darryl, hey.
Hey what’s up? You called?

Yeah, you know I, I felt really terrible that you got me these lovely gloves and I didn’t get you anything…
It’s cool really.
Photo of Darryl Phylbin
Photo of Nate
No, it’s anything but cool. Now I haven’t really had time to go out and buy you anything, but uh, here goes. Hands Darryl pink slips of paper
"This coupon entitles you to one free tickle monster attack"
Photo of Darryl Phylbin
Photo of Nate
Yeah, they’re Nate coupons. Or Nate-pons. And they’re all different. Cash that one in and I will bring you a stick of gum, anytime, any place. I’ll find you.
Thanks. to Val Nice flowers.
Photo of Darryl Phylbin
Photo of Val
Thanks, they’re from my mom.
Your mom?
Photo of Darryl Phylbin
Photo of Val
Yeah.
Uh. So I guess that was your mom who called me earlier looking for the address? Real deep voiced woman?
Photo of Darryl Phylbin
Photo of Val
Yeah, that’s her.
She said her name was Brandon, I think. Your mom’s name is Brandon?
Photo of Darryl Phylbin

Then I guess I figured out where I stand. This is a love beanie.

So Sabre has set up a conference room for our use while we’re at corporate.
So, what is this special project?
Photo of Jim Halpert
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Basically Sabre has tasked us with helping them branch into the retail marketplace. They want to set up their own version of an Apple store.
That sounds awesome.
Photo of Jim Halpert
Photo of Dwight Schrute
It did, it did.
You know what might be great? Is if instead of a genius bar we have a lounge area where people can ask questions about the product with other customers who liked it.
Photo of Ryan
Photo of Erin
Yeah. And they should have a place where people can check their computers or printers before they see you so you don’t have to carry it around like a dope. Like a coat check. Dwight writes on whiteboard Oh, don’t write it down unless you like it.
Oh, I like it.
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Photo of Ryan
It seems to me that the Apple store is kind of like a party. So I think our question is: How do we make this a better party?
No. We sell business tools and the stores need to reflect that. They need to be all business. Let all the other stores look like a toy store.
Photo of Dwight Schrute
Photo of Ryan
Right. Think different, from Apple.
Dwight, is now a good time to go over what you expect of us?
Photo of Jim Halpert
Photo of Dwight Schrute
long pause Yes. What are my expectations for the group?

I have been given the responsibility to manage Stanley, a solid player, Ryan, who is capable of surprises, Erin, an excellent follower and Cathy, a probably not totally useless enigma. And, well, Jim. Under the right manager, that’s not a bad team. Perfectinschlag.

I don’t know how I’m going to live here without you.
Me neither. Hey, will you put this coat on my chair? I just realized I’m not going to need it down there.

Yes, I will take your coat. And I will keep it with me, and I will sleep with it because it smells like you.
No, no, no, no. Just put it on my chair.
