When she goes to his office to admonish him over it, noting Serena Joy could have her sent to the colonies or worse, he replies that he finds that whole Ceremony thing so impersonal. \"You think!\" she fires back. He invites her to stay for a drink and dangles a magazine in front of her, asking if she misses the lists of made-up problems that filled their pages: Women were never rich enough, pretty enough, good enough. \"We had choices then,\" she says.
In this episode, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) and the office staff take on the workers in the warehouse in a basketball game. Owing to racist and sexist stereotypes, Michael chooses many less-skilled office workers for the team over their more athletically talented peers. Michael claims a \"flagrant personal intentional foul,\" stops the game, and declares his team as the winners. The warehouse finds the call unfair and Michael caves under pressure and concedes the victory to the warehouse staff.
Michael Scott (Steve Carell) comes into work prepared to pit the office staff against the warehouse in a game of basketball, with the losers having to work on Saturday. Michael picks Jim Halpert (John Krasinski), Ryan Howard (B. J. Novak), and Stanley Hudson (Leslie David Baker), the last of whom he believes possesses significant basketball skills based on a racial stereotype. In addition, he also reluctantly picks Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) and Phyllis Lapin (Phyllis Smith), but refuses to pick Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nunez) or Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner).
The game begins and Stanley proves to be a horrible player. Furthermore, Michael cannot make a shot, nor is he a fan of passing or defending. Upon gaining possession of the ball, Michael fools around and intentionally acts stupid to tease the opponents, which results in Roy Anderson (David Denman) snatching the ball and scoring against Michael's team. Despite the fact that Michael is the one who foolishly lost the ball, he blames the scoring on his teammates' ineptitude. Jim switches with Michael on defense and defends Roy. As Jim begins to show his prowess at the game, Roy and Jim gradually become aggressive toward each other, with Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) looking on. At a crucial point in the game, Michael is accidentally hit in the face and claims it is a \"flagrant personal intentional foul\". He pettily stops the game and declares the office winners since they were winning when the foul occurred. The warehouse finds the call unfair and Michael caves under pressure, conceding the victory to the warehouse staff. As everybody returns to work, Kevin demonstrates his excellent shooting skills.
Afterwards, Michael, in a rare moment of heart, tells the office that they do not have to come in on Saturday either. However, his justification does little to calm them: \"Like coming in an extra day is going to prevent us from being downsized.\"
\"Basketball\" was written and directed by producer Greg Daniels.[2] Although he wrote the episode, Daniels was not originally scheduled to direct \"Basketball.\"[3] Rainn Wilson remarked that he really pushed for Daniels to direct the episode.[3] John Krasinski applauded Daniels for being the first writer to \"take [the characters] out of the office\".[4] Daniels later said that his favorite shot from the episode was when Michael takes Ryan on a tour of the warehouse because \"you got to see the whole basketball [set]\".[2] The editors' cut for the episode was 40 minutes long.[2] During the commentary for the episode, Steve Carell argued that the American version of The Office was more difficult to shoot because the British version was 29 minutes long, whereas the American version could only be 22 minutes.[5]
When things pick up in episode 5, the family has settled into what narrator Elsa Dutton (Isabel May) calls a \"melancholy routine.\" Cara (Helen Mirren) spends her days dressing Jacob's (Harrison Ford) wounds and making futile trips to the post office in hopes of hearing from Spencer. Widow Emma (Marley Shelton) tends to the grave of her husband, John Dutton Sr. (James Badge Dale), shot and killed during the Banner attack, while their son Jack (Darren Mann) neglects his bride-to-be Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph) in favor of patrolling the ranch and plotting his revenge.
response, refusing to facilitate a sit-down with her husband. Whitfield arrogantly counters, suggesting he'll just stop by at his convenience. The bad taste of this disappointing detour is washed away when Cara's welcomed at the post office by Spencer's long-waited reply.
Whether or not to spank your child is a dilemma that I imagine all parents must face at some point in their child's life. Even those adamantly against it probably find themselves wavering from time to time. I don't have kids, but my parents were not spankers and my brothers and I turned out all right (and not weird or creepy like the guy in Dre's office who wasn't spanked).
Speaking of the office scene, Dre's coworkers all putting in their two cents about being spanked and the severity of it (a rolling pin sounds pretty harsh) was a great way to introduce some comedy outside of the family. We really haven't spent too much time with Dre's coworkers and I enjoyed getting their inputs this week.
As for Beth, she's continuing her single-minded crusade against Dan Jenkins, sitting in a Yellowstone Club-type bar and talking with her Salt Lake boss, Bob Schwartz (Michael Nouri). He wants her back and working in the office, but she tells him her sabbatical is indefinitely extended and that, besides, there are plenty of companies to gut right here in the Paradise Valley. In a speech that may have the ring of truth to it, she tells Bob, \"Look where you are. It's the Mecca of dumb money. I'm half surprised I don't see trust fund babies walking here on I-90, flogging themselves. It's the greatest concentration of wealth in the United States. Not New York, not LA, right here. I could throw a boomerang across the room and hit five billionaires.\"
Bob then offers her a job running an office in Bozeman, and Beth tells him that if she did, she'd start with dismantling Dan Jenkins' company. All rich people know each other, so naturally Bob is friends with Jenkins. But being friends doesn't mean that Bob wouldn't let Beth eviscerate him. Beth tells Bob that if only he was a little younger, she might want him. The way to Beth's heart, evidently, is ruthlessness.
At her office, Duke finds himself consulting Henry's ghost the same way Eliza does when she sits at her desk. He also sees the casebook and finds the imprint of the page Eliza tore out: \"Woolwich Prison, Cell 99.\" The prison was closed for years, but there's a voice yelling for help even before Duke arrives. It's Eliza, of course, locked into Cell 98. Cell 99 doesn't exist here; it's in another wing, one she hasn't found. Duke attempts to break her out. But their bickering gets to him, especially faced with missing his dinner with Stirling.
Nick: Absolutely, today we're going to talk about bugs and glitches in video games, which is a sensitive topic near and dear to all of our hearts, and we're really excited today to have with us Jack Clabby, who's a shareholder in Carlton Fields' Tampa office. He's with us to help explain some of the legal issues that are involved when there are bugs and glitches in games. So, today were going to first talk about bugs, were going to talk about the good, the bad, and the surprising, and then we'll talk a little bit with Jack about what happens when there are bugs in games.
We're now going to interview Jack Clabby, a veteran litigator here at Carlton Fields in our Tampa office, who does a lot of work in cyber security and securities litigation. He's also a long time gamer himself, you don't want to face him off in Golden Eye, probably not with the golden gun. Without further ado, Jack, welcome to the podcast.
Episode five begins with Cara (Helen Mirren) visiting the post office, anxiously awaiting news from Spencer. She confesses she likes to make the trip in the mornings so she can remove hope early and get on with her day.
Jesse starts applying for jobs, with his latest attempt at finding employment leading him to a realty office. Jesse soon learns that the job he was interviewing for was as a costumed sign dancer. As he storms off, he finds that his old friend Brandon \"Badger\" Mayhew was working at the realty office as a sign dancer. The two catch up during Badger's break over a joint of marijuana, and Badger asks about Jesse's meth. Jesse claims he's retiring from the meth business, but Badger offers to help him with his cooks if he ever gets back in the game.
One evening, Junior's friends try to convince him into asking a gentleman at a convenience store to purchase alcohol for them. His efforts fail when the gentleman reveals himself to be an off-duty police officer, who calls Junior's \"Dad\", Hank. Hank is less than pleased with Junior calling him instead of his father, and theorizes to Skyler and Marie that Junior may be acting out, asking for beer and smoking pot, as a result of his father's cancer. Skyler realizes Marie mistakenly thought Junior was smoking weed and clarifies it was Walt, whom she thinks hasn't been right since his diagnosis.
Propaganda: Nobody told me I could do that. I mean, I didn't go to the resource center. I got a job, I got to work. I'm working through college, so I don't know nothing about that. I don't know about this, I didn't know about office hours, I didn't know about any of it. Had I had somebody go, \"No, do this, do this, do this.\"
Sara Barton: Think for your children what it's going to be like, this is the same for me. Telling my kids all this secret world of higher education because now I've done it. They know about office hours, they know, but it's part of the systemic privilege.
For once Winston's complaint to the social office is genuine, and now has a foot that can stun even the most heartless of people into abjec
