'I still can't believe you won 7,000 dollars Michael.'

'Well you can't see why your wife left you, when it's a no brainer to the rest of us.'

'That's a little inappropriate. Anyways do you not think the others deserve some of the money since they all participated in Threat Level Midnight?'

'Oh you would say that Toby. I bet you were that kid in class who believed in participation medals whilst the rest of us jocks went for the gold.'

'You were a jock?' 
'I am many things - like an international award winning movie maker.' 
'I don't think winning the Scranton film festival really counts Michael. But hey, I really appreciate you coming along with me for moral support. I must say I was really surprised.' 
'Well although you work for HR, I still see you as one of the Scranton family, and I want to be here for when you begin your journey in publishing your detective novel.' 
'Well myself and Chad Flenderman thank you. I am so nervous, this publisher could pretty much change my entire life.' 
Toby starts to get teary eyed. Michael looks at him in disgust. Gabe Lewis walks into the room. 
'Gabe, you work here?' 
'I do indeed, the universe can never keep this guy down. Now please come to my office. Oh hi Michael, nice to see you again.' 
Toby walks into Gabe's office. He notices Gabe still has a picture of himself and Erin in a picture frame.  
'So please, tell me the premise of your story.'
'It's a detective novel. The protagonist is just an easygoing black guy who knows the streets. Just as comfortable on a motorcycle as he -'
'In Air Force One?' 
'Yes, you heard of my Chad Flenderman detective novel?' 
'Not exactly. I have already accepted to publish a novel titled T.G.I.F with a very similar character.'
'Thank God it's Friday?' 
Gabe takes out a book from his top desk draw and shows it to Toby. 
'Thick Grizzly Iradicates Flenderman by Michael Scott.'
Toby looks shocked. 
'I mean, eradicates is spelt wrong on here.'
'I know, but Michael has funded 7,000 dollars to get this out in bookstores everywhere.' 
'But there's only two pages in this.'


First page -
In tribute to Toby Flenderson. You suck ass. Second page -
Michael Scarn's arch nemesis Chad Flenderman breaks into his house whilst he's making sweet love to his wife Holly. Before Scarn can shoot him dead, a bear breaks through a window and eats Flenderman. The end. 
Michael Scott walks in laughing whilst he hands Toby a signed copy of the book. He then turns to the camera and says - 
'Michael Scarn always wins'. Original link
