Not a lot happens during this episode. Half of it is filled with Michael and Dwight on an assignment from David Wallace. The other half is the rest of the office debating whether or not Hillary Swank is hot. The key word is “hot.” So regardless of the conclusion they come to, I’ll solve the very solvable question. Hillary Swank is not hot. Not even close. The end.

That said, the debate is pretty hilarious, as we see people going back and forth on the topic, upsetting the strangely equal sides.


“She looks like a monster.”

Word, Kev. WORD.

Simultaneously, Michael and Dwight go undercover to infiltrate a small company, Prince Family Paper. As if they are the smartest men on Earth, they proudly concoct some very simple backstories as to what they will be doing. Michael will be a potential buyer and Dwight will try to get hired. Michael will be scouting for prices and Dwight will be scouting for information about their salaries and employee count. Afterwards, they are to meet at the pinko eatery, IHOP.

Prince Family Paper is composed of a few people. The Prince family. They’re very, very nice and accommodating, which makes things very easy. Michael is able to get an entire customer list from the owner and manager, which is like winning the jackpot. However, Michael is a lot like them. He views his own employees as family. After making things very weird and awkward, only in a way the dynamic duo can, they get back to the office, list in hand. Michael is too torn, but decides to take sympathy on the company and destroy the document. Dwight will not have any of this. So, he chases Michael around for literally five minutes before ripping the paper out of his hands. Michael doesn’t want to be a shark. He makes everything personal. That is until he finds out that it all ultimately benefits his wallet.


“Well guess who’s stock just went up, Golden Boy?”

This episode isn’t that strong. Michael does a lot of what we’ve seen him do. The Hillary Swank debate is pretty funny, but not half an hour funny, and it comes to a disappointing conclusion. The best thing about it is that we get a great amount of Kevin, which never stops amusing me.

3 out of 5 Dwigt Foreheads.
