Really nice spec script.

Pam’s voice was a bit off, and even Jim’s voice was off sometimes.

And there were a couple things that seemed to serve only as bridges from one joke/scene to the next without any real purpose or motivation.

Overall, though, this is a superb Office spec script.

Definitely the best I’ve found online.

I really enjoyed that– coincidentally I had fallen behind on the show (stopped watching as Michael was travelling to the other D-M branches to give his motivational talk), and so this had no spoilers for me.

Spot on, I really enjoyed it. What you shouldn’t do is send it to NBC– their lawyers will make sure they round-file it unread, because they don’t want to get tied up with “you stole my idea” lawsuit.

If you could get it in the hands of an Office writer, though, with a personal recommendation, that would be great, evne to share writing credit with some of the heads. Great job!

I thought the script was outstanding. It’s unfortunate that the nature of network TV means it won’t become an actual part of the series (the timing for when it would have to air has passed and the networks are so reluctant to accept non-commissioned scripts, understandably.) But it was a real treat for fans of you and the Office.
My two minor quibbles are: 1) For some reason, Dwight’s comment about “indie rock” didn’t feel right. 2) I agree with the previous commenter who said the documentary crew shouldn’t be heard from. But I think it’s even funnier if the talking head is just five seconds of silence with no comment.
Thanks Matthew, great job.

I like that you minimized the Michael Scott antics and focused on the funny characters instead

I had a dream last night that this was a real episode, and it was amazing.

Just read the cold open and I was CRACKING UP. Well done! It’s obvious that you know the characters and their unique relationships with each other very well. Can’t wait to read the whole thing. Can’t print it out yet. Must be mindful of paper and ink costs. Oh recession woes…

OK. That was weird. I don’t even like that show and I couldn’t stop reading your script. I just meant to look at it and see what it looked like…and then I couldn’t stop reading it.

Don’t you think they would make this script? Will you get tons of money?
