Michael Scott took charge & changed the game. No golf course, no stuffy country club — just Chili’s, an Awesome Blossom & somehow a closed deal.
It’s not my first day watching The Office & this remains one of his finest moments.
Chili’s is the New Golf Course: How Dunder Mifflin Paper Company Makes Sales
Believe it or not, Michael Scott & Jan once became a dynamic & productive duo, landing a new client.
Initially, Jan is not so much on board. She had planned this high-level meeting for another location. Without clearing it with Jan, Michael decides to change the location to what (by him at least) is considered the new golf course… Chili’s.
Not long after this party of 3 gets seated, 2 of the 3 get a cocktail & decide to order an Awesome Blossom.
Michael Scott tells a joke that is SO funny, that their prospect almost blows Awesome Blossom out of his nose.
The next thing we know, Jan gives in & gets a cocktail & now it’s time for Baby Back Ribs…
It turns out that Michael taking the lead on this sales meeting worked out. Like it really worked out.
Michael & Jan landed the client at Chili’s…
…& Michael Scott landed Jan in the Chili’s Parking Lot…
Yep. Jan ended up taking the lead on this deal. She initiated the kiss, & she initiated the overnight.
Dunder Mifflin Paper Company employees end up noticing Jan being dropped off at her car at The Office the following morning.
The Dundies at Chili’s: Pam Gets Drunk & Kicked Out
It’s not Pam’s 1st Day disappointing us & others. Many would say it all starts as she continues to be involved in one of the longest relationships ever… with Roy Anderson (David Denman).
Speaking of Roy, it ends up being time for the annual Dundie awards & until Pam’s endgame guy Jim got involved, the annual Dundie for the Longest Engagement was awarded to Pam Beesley.
After managing to get hammered just by drinking a couple of her own drinks & somehow a bunch of everyone else’s drinks at the Dundies, she is awarded the Whitest Sneakers Dundie.
Apparently, The Whitest Sneakers Dundie warrants a speech… & ultimately Pam Beeley getting kicked out of Chili’s restaurants nationwide…
It ended up being a full night for not-so-innocent Pam Beesley.
1) Still Engaged with Roy.
2) Getting Hammered as She Drinks Everyone Elses Drinks.
3) Has the Whitest Sneakers??
4) Gives Lame Speech.
5) Getting Kicked out of Chili’s.
6) Kisses Jim on The Lips.
While The Office is awesome, getting the employees of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company out of The Office is sometimes even more awesome.
Getting Dunder Mifflin employees out of the office was always the best decision The Office ever made. Michael closed a deal AND landed Jan. Pam got hammered, won a Dundie & kissed Jim… all at Chili’s.
The new golf course, indeed.
