The Coup





Dwight:I can save the branch.
Jan:Really?
Dwight:If you let me run it.
Jan:Ok.
Dwight:[excitedly] 'Ok' I can run it?
Jan:What would you do differently?
Dwight:Mostly get rid of waste. Which is half the people there. And clean house. [to waitress in diner] Right here. It's all for me. Thank you.
Jan:Dwight, you must feel strongly, to speak with me this way, behind Michael's back, and turn on so many of your co-workers.
Dwight:The decision to turn on Michael was difficult. [pouring way too much syrup on his food] But once I did it, I didn't look back. And mostly I feel that Michael would approve. It's really what's best for the branch. And I could care less about my co-workers. So [cutting his food, giving Jan a 'so there' look], here we are. It's all, on the table. I want... the branch. And I await your decision.
