Another Moment From Work (That I'll Never Get Back)

Bryan, dressed in a new, tailored suit, sits at his desk. Michael looks at his computer while Naheed stands in their cubicle.

Bryan
It's Valentine's day. Every place is going to be "romantic."

Michael
Not Hot Doug's Gourmet Encased Meats.

Bryan laughs.

Bryan
Did you just make that up?

Michael
No. Of course not.

Naheed changes the subject.

Naheed
The only thing your outfit needs now is a briefcase.

Bryan
Yes, a briefcase. I can bring it on my "romantic dinner."

Before Michael can respond to Bryan's patronizing sarcasm-

Bryan
I can keep my condoms in it.

  3. I know, I know, how uncharacteristic of me. I was following the neo-conservative "shock and awe" policy. I was hoping that by saying something so outrageous, we could just drop the whole thing.

    Like the invasion of Iraq, it worked at first. And then everything went downhill from there...
