Stanley: “So do they bring food or do you have to go out?”Ĭourtesy Stanley, this conversation then brings in, by far, my favorite and most painfully honest line: “I have been trying to get on jury duty every year since I was 18 years old. Perhaps, one of the best parts of this episode involves Stanley and Toby. I can see how Jim would start to be paranoid. A naïve Jim opens a present, thinking it came from Pam. The staff moves on from the Michael-Holly drama, and the focus returns to Dwight and Jim’s snowball fight.
It’s rather ironic, considering that she is with Gabe and not Andy. Erin finally asks, “Is she an amazing cook or something.” She still can’t see why Michael is upset over losing Holly. The father-daughter relationship can be seen as Erin comforts distraught Michael. Kevin screams (and I was rather scared), “Nothing is ever your fault, just like when you ate those maple candies that you brought for us.” You tell her, Kevin! These are moments when you are pleasantly surprised by the multiple layers of each character. When Holly tries to make an excuse for herself, Kevin really let’s her have it – he lets her know that she isn’t as innocent as she plays. This is when you know that everyone is more than just co-workers they are, in a sense, a dysfunctional yet lovable family.
As Holly goes towards Michael, Erin (who won’t let her go through) and the rest of the staff glare at Holly, blocking her. He also lets her know that everyone did the entire party for her. He is distraught that she gave up on their relationship because of distance, and yet, she is willing to continue her long-distance relationship with A.J. When Holly asks Michael what is wrong with him, he finally lays it down for her. Michael admits that it was accident born out of jealousy, and he also admits that he made up a fake girlfriend to see if Holly would get jealous. Eventually, Michael caves and admits that he ruined the doll, telling Holly, “Someday we will laugh about this when we tell our kids.” Major awkward moment – that’s all I can say. In any case, everyone else thinks that Michael is behind it. You don’t think that Woody did this to himself?” Remember when Holly that that Kevin was actually stupid? Well, I doubt that he changed her mind. Kevin thinks, “Wait guys, Toy Story is all about toys that come to life when people aren’t looking. Kevin has a revelation – by far, one of my favorite moments of this episode.
Michael blames Toby, who points out that it looks like something Michael would do. A very angry Holly comes into the room and asks everyone about who defaced her Woody doll. Money problems, is that what this is about?” So, all in all, it looks like Phyllis isn’t the biggest fan of Pam’s present either. The first thing that comes out of Phyllis’s mouth, “So, you went homemade this year. I (along with Erin) don’t see the big deal anymore.Īfter failing to impress Ryan with her comic book for Jim, Pam shows it to Phyllis. Sometimes, I wonder why Michael goes through such great lengths (making up a fake girlfriend) to win Holly back. Say what? She left me, Dwight, Jim and tons of viewers quite confused. She remembers how they were such good friends the last time she was there. Regardless, Holly yells at Jim because she is troubled by the fighting. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m actually worried for Jim’s safety. He’s so sinister and evil that even I’m worried about what he might do next. You know what would have happened? The shards of glass would have shaved her face right off, and yes, it might have been funny, but also, it would have been incredibly tragic.”ĭwight, in fact, wants to sue Jim for “acute psychological distress.” When Jim tries to throw it back at Dwight, Dwight retorts, “with snowballs Jim, fluffly little snowballs? I though we were just playing.” All I can say is, Dwight is good. Michael shares his own input, and points out the following possible scenario: “What if Meredith was taking her smoking break below that window. This results in a peer mediation counseling session with Jim, Dwight, Holly and Michael. Yup, the snowball fight continues for these two. The second part of the episode begins with everyone, shivering in the cold, after Jim accidently broke the window while throwing a snowball at Dwight.
