Hey, do you have a second?

heɪ, du ju hæv ə ˈsɛkənd?

Sure, what's up?

ʃʊr, wəts əp?

I know it's not definite or whatever, but do you know who's coming over here from Scranton?

aɪ noʊ ɪts nɑt ˈdɛfənət ər ˌwəˈtɛvər, bət du ju noʊ huz ˈkəmɪŋ ˈoʊvər hir frəm ˈskræntən?

I honestly don't. I don't know.

aɪ ˈɑnəstli doʊnt. aɪ doʊnt noʊ.

Okay, so is it like Sales or accountants or...

ˌoʊˈkeɪ, soʊ ɪz ɪt laɪk seɪlz ər əˈkaʊntənts ər...

You know what, Jim? I wouldn't worry about it.

What does that mean?

wət dɪz ðət min?

Hi!

haɪ!

Jan, hey.

ʤæn, heɪ.

Oh, good, you're both here. Ready to talk logistics? So Josh will be running what is now called Dunder

oʊ, gʊd, jʊr boʊθ hir. ˈrɛdi tɪ tɔk ləˈʤɪstɪks? soʊ ʤɑʃ wɪl bi ˈrənɪŋ wət ɪz naʊ kɔld dunder

Mifflin Northeast, which is all the offices north of Stamford. And, Jim, if you want the job, you'll be his number two.

Wow! Sure, absolutely.

waʊ! ʃʊr, ˌæbsəˈlutli.

Awesome.

ˈɔsəm.

Excuse me, Jan, I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to stop you there. I will not be taking the job.

What? Excuse me? Why not?

wət? ɪkˈskjuz mi? waɪ nɑt?

As of today, I have accepted a senior management position at Staples.

Today? You leveraged your new position with us into another offer? Damn it, Josh, this whole restructuring thing was based around keeping you.

I'm sorry, all right. It's done. It's done.

I've got to make some calls. Excuse me, I'm sorry, Jim.

aɪv gɑt tɪ meɪk səm kɔlz. ɪkˈskjuz mi, əm ˈsɑri, ʤɪm.

So, we are still scrambling here, but it looks like Scranton is going to absorb Stamford.

soʊ, wi ər stɪl ˈskræmbəlɪŋ hir, bət ɪt lʊks laɪk ˈskræntən ɪz goʊɪŋ tɪ əbˈzɔrb ˈstæmfərd.

Wow.

waʊ.

And I know that you just left there a couple months ago, but we would like to offer you the number two position at that branch.

Thank you. Umm. No, it's just I'm not sure if I... Well, to be quite honest with you, Jan, I have a few unpleasant memories of Scranton and...

Michael?

ˈmaɪkəl?

No! No, no, just some personal stuff. And I'm not really ready to revisit that, I don't think.

noʊ! noʊ, noʊ, ʤɪst səm ˈpərsɪnəl stəf. ənd əm nɑt ˈrɪli ˈrɛdi tɪ riˈvɪzɪt ðət, aɪ doʊnt θɪŋk.

Well, please think about it. And call me. We will do whatever we can to get you to stay.

Okay.

Where's Michael?

wɛrz ˈmaɪkəl?

He's not here. I don't know where he is.

hiz nɑt hir. aɪ doʊnt noʊ wɛr hi ɪz.

Wait? What's going on here?

We know the branch is closing. Michael told us.

wi noʊ ðə brænʧ ɪz ˈkloʊzɪŋ. ˈmaɪkəl toʊld ˈjuˈɛs.

Oh, God. Okay. You know what, everybody? I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but I've driven something like 400 miles today,

oʊ, gɑd. ˌoʊˈkeɪ. ju noʊ wət, ˈɛvriˌbɑdi? əm ʃʊr ðɛrz ə ˈbɛtər weɪ tɪ du ðɪs, bət aɪv ˈdrɪvən ˈsəmθɪŋ laɪk 400 maɪəlz təˈdeɪ,

and I'm completely exhausted, so I'm just going to tell you. Your branch is not closing. Stamford is closing. For the time being, it seems that all of your jobs are safe.

Yes.
