Michael walks into the office holding a gym bag
MICHAEL: Hey, you ready? All right, all right, secret sign. Hey, Ryan. (Ryan holds up his bag) Very good. Excellent, excellent.
DWIGHT: Michael!
Cut to Michael's office
MICHAEL: Today at lunchtime we're going to be playing the warehouse staff at a friendly little game of basketball. My idea. Last time I was down there I noticed they'd put up a couple of hoops and I play basketball every weekend so I thought, "This might be kinda fun." And I started messing around and I'm sinking a few, you know. Swish, swish, swish. Nothing but net. And their jaws just dropped to the floor. African-Americans! So... you know, it's really just a good friendly game, a reason to get together.
Michael sneaks up to Pam's desk
MICHAEL: Pam, Pam, thank you, ma'am. Messages, please.
DWIGHT: Michael, can I talk to you, please? Privately? In your office? - I think I should be on the team.
MICHAEL: No. And that's not me being mean. That is based on your past behavior.
DWIGHT: Oh please.
MICHAEL: When I let him come to my pick-up game...
DWIGHT: I apologized for that.
MICHAEL: I vouched for you. I vouched for you in front of Todd Packer, Dwight. All right, here's what I'm gonna do. The hand strikes and gives a flower. You are not going to play basketball. But I need somebody to come in and take over the holiday and weekend work calendar.
DWIGHT: I can handle that.
MICHAEL: Hey, you ready? All right, all right, secret sign. Hey, Ryan. (Ryan holds up his bag) Very good. Excellent, excellent.
DWIGHT: Michael!
