Brent Forrester  I got so lucky when I was assigned to write this episode because it's the climax of the Michael/ Holly romantic subplot that's been running through the show for years. And the episode itself is structured like a classic rom com. Holly denies that they're made for each other, but each beat of the story seems to prove that they are made for each other. And then they meet in this classic romantic comedy trope, the meeting on the rooftop of the Empire State Building from An Affair to Remember and Sleepless in Seattle. But because it's The Office, it's not a glamorous art deco setting. It's this seedy rooftop in Scranton. All of that story material was just handed to me. Greg and the writing staff came up with it and I was assigned to write it. And I get to say, written by Brent Forrester! 

Jenna  It's funny, when I saw that rooftop kissing scene at the end of the episode, I had the thought, Why did they pick such an ugly roof? And it was clearly intentional. They were like, This is the Office version of the rom com Empire State Building. 

Jenna Well, I'm sorry if you do not warm up to them as a couple after you see this next scene, I don't know what's wrong with you. Even Randy and his email to us, he was writing out all his facts about this episode and he said, I have to pause here and tell you that I sobbed when I saw Michael and Holly reunited on this roof. It's so emotional. 

Jenna  The location for this romantic reunion was the rooftop and stairwell of the Mayfair Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. If you're visiting, it's on Seventh Street. 

Brent Forrester I remember the energy of the actors in the A story was very fun. It was Rainn Wilson, Ellie Kemper, Amy Ryan, and Steve Carell. And we're zipping around the city and shooting these fun little set pieces, you know, in a parking lot, in a restaurant. So the energy is very elevated until the scene on the rooftop. And, you know, normally when you're shooting on location, there's a fair amount of shouting among the crew. They're trying to convey info, you know, outdoors. But on this set, on that scene, the crew was whispering. And I remember I walked onto set like a doofus, yapping about something, and I immediately went silent. And I looked around, Why is everyone being so quiet? And I saw Amy and Steve in the distance. You know, the crew had given them a lot of space out of respect for what they were doing. And they were great actors enacting real love between these two characters. And the energy was sacred. 

Jenna  It's such a great scene. They have this moment. 

Angela  Yeah. 

Jenna Where she just finally melts and they kiss. Erin sees it. She's smiling. And you just know, finally, finally, these two are back together. 

Angela And also, just as a fan of the show, I was a total audience member when I rewatched this, and I was so emotional for Michael that he finally met his someone. Oh, so awesome. 

Buck: I lied to Maddie. Eddie and I can never be just friends. I wrote down a list of bullet points why Eddie and I should be together, and I'm going to find the perfect moment today and I am going to tell him. Number one: *reading off of hand* "Eddie, you and I are soup snakes." The ... and the reason is... because... in terms of the soup, we like two-- that doesn't make any sense. We're soul mates. Eddie and I are soul mates.

Mangkorn: *exists*

Yai: I hate that guy so much

Yai: I know I’ll fuck him on camera, that’ll show him

Who remembers ring back tones?

I was just reading one of my old fanfics for The Office, written in 2008 (yes I read my own fanfic sometimes. Sue me), and when Holly called Michael on the phone one time, he had “Sexy Back” as his ring back tone. Lmao

If ring back tones still exist I haven’t heard one since like 2010

SNOP 😭😭😭

haha you know what would be Fun (cruel)

the abyss but it shows itself to the hunters by taking the form of someone important to them

jordan thinks this is normal. whats one more different flavor of ianite? he is home. his lady is here. all is well

kara though? she is seething. the abyss taking the form of her snakes (which function as familiars. to me) its not even trying to fool her, just taunting. her hat usually acting as a lil pocket space where her familiars chill. the abyss cutting off her access to that, claiming it for itself. popping in and out and swapping between looking like her different snakes

also theres no world where the abyss doesn't go jordan mode on the rescue squad. effective multitarget attack

One time I said the word “snack” in front of Soup’s tank and he immediately peered out from under the hide in his water tub and gave me this look

He really is my son

They're so cute I can't even

I have no doubt spamton would buy the most disgusting combo of spaghetti from olive garden I've ever seen in my life and I would hate to say it's actually good

does he eat it properly or does he inhale it the way he does in his first fight

WHENEVER I WALK BY WITH HOT FOOD SHE COMES OUT AND GETS INTO STRIKE POSITION.
