The Erin/Andy scene was priceless, had me crying at Andy's reaction as he got closer & closer. "Are you sure??" Perfectly played.

Um, this is The Office. Why would people take Michael's shit all these years???

I really liked Jim in this episode. He's pretty much back to the old Jim, but not quite as willing to just put up with Michael's bullshit and humor him like he use to.

I dont like Phyllis when shes like that either, I think the thing that doesnt work is she isnt that good of an actress to pull it off

I never say anything bad about The Office, but this episode sucked.

Dwight licking the trash sack was pretty funny.

Agreed. She could barely keep the smirk off her face when she called Michael 'numb nuts.'

Because he's the boss.

And because Michael's shit isn't what Phyllis is like. Phyllis is just mean and it's not funny at all.

Kind of a weird episode, but funny nonetheless.

The Andy/Erin scene where she hid his leads was hilarious! Also liked her text to him. Because people DO like shiny shells from faraway places. :P

I thought that felt more like a season two episode of "The Office." Small problem gets blown out of proportion, appropriate level of Michael Stupidity, feel-good ending.

So what lame excuse will they come up with for Michael not being fired this time?

He should have been fired dozens of times in the past, but now he just lost $50,000 worth of company property. That equals no more job.

They only purchased a single hard copy of these leads? They'll call, beg forgiveness, and get another set overnighted.

Agreed about Phyllis. Her snarkiness really grates, and I think that *is* because the actress can't pull it off.

They paid $50,000 for all the leads. I know it doesn't matter much but only Dwights were lost. Like someone said, they will have copies and all that information saved at HQ

I suppose that's a good enough excuse in The Office universe.

It's 2010, I'm not sure why the leads were on cards in the first place.

It's the only way The McGuffin Marketing Research Co. delivers their leads.

I liked this episode. I actually lol'd at a few moments -- especially when Michael hid the leads in the can of non-Prego pizza sauce with the clue "Now That's Italian!" or the lead under the car with the clue "Find it under the 1st President" -- Lincoln was clearly not the first president

Since it became part of the hip culture lexicon, the popular image of the sales industry has pretty much been defined by everything in Glengarry Glen Ross. And will apparently continue to be well into the future.

Plenty of laughs, back to in-office hijinks again two weeks in a row, good episode.
