I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

OMG TOBY NO. Poor Toby!

I know!! Ack, ack, that was just too painful to watch -- everyone's reactions to his hand on her knee, and then his sudden outburst, and *jumping the fence* and running away, oh god!

Jim's phone call to the security guard was also painful, although funnier. Love that his name turned out to be Hank after all. Why wouldn't Jim call him again, though, to let him know that they finally got out? I suppose he could have been on his way already.

I think my favorite moment of the night, though, was Michael's bewildered reaction to Ryan's hugs at the bar: "It's... it's Michael and Dwight." "I know!!"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Of course CREED would know; the dude frickin' lives in the office.

Because he had convinced himself that Hank was not ever going to come and also forgot? Poor Hank. He should get one hell of a tip this year.

Punishingly Intricate

Because he had convinced himself that Hank was not ever going to come and also forgot?

I think the whole thing about that storyline was that Pam & Jim not such the golden couple of the office as one might assume. Remember Pam hitting Meredith in the face with the football?

Yup. That "who thinks we're a better couple?" made that pretty clear.

Also, wasn't Jim using Toby's, who had since fled to Costa Rica (poor Toby), cell phone to call Hank?

Yes, he was. Did he give him his phone back? Heh.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I know!! Ack, ack, that was just too painful to watch -- everyone's reactions to his hand on her knee, and then his sudden outburst, and *jumping the fence* and running away, oh god!

I actually had to close my eyes for that bit. BRILLIANT.
