[Plays radio and the song is Closing Time by Semisonic] Erin: [Laughs and shrieks] Andy: Closing time. [SCENE_BREAK] Andy: Every office needs an end of the day tradition. Something to tell you the day is over. Otherwise, you go home and the night just feels like more day. It's weird. [SCENE_BREAK] Andy: Closing time Jim: [On phone]...W R K. Andy: One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey and beer. Jim: Uh no it's W R K, as in kitten. Oh my boss is singing Closing Time, maybe that's what you are hearing. Andy: Come on pam! Andy/Pam: [Singing, Pam mumbling lyrics] Closing time, time for you to go home to the places you will be from. [SCENE_BREAK] Pam: Let's see. Andy has been manager for a hundred and five days. Which means I've heard 'Closing Time' a hundred and five times. [nods and shakes head] Still don't know the words. Tah wa Ta way hm hm home and home and home. [SCENE_BREAK] Andy: I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. [Pulls towel through legs] I know who I want to take me home. [Spins Meredith in chair] Take me hooo...hooome! You know what fine! I try to start fun traditions for you guys, but if you don't want to sing... no traditions! Stanley: [singing] Closing time every new beginning... [SCENE_BREAK] Stanley: I've never heard that song before. And once I heard it, I did not care for it, but that song means it's time to go home. Now...it's my favorite song. [SCENE_BREAK] Andy/Stanley: [singing] Every new beginning comes
SUMMARY:
In order to improve efficiency, Dwight installs a doomsday device that will send an email to California and suggest the closing of the branch. After the maximum number of mistakes is made on the first day, the email is sent but the office works to counteract it; Jim is sent to distract California, whereas Pam-among others-attempts to talk Dwight into dismantling his machine. Meanwhile, Gabe attempts to court the new warehouse worker, Val ( Ameenah Kaplan ), by trying to put Darryl down.
