Money

Branch. Andy watches Angela walk away, and then does this weird, hilarious half a split at Pam's desk, so his head is level with hers, as he asks her to set him up with Angela. Pam -- with Dwight standing behind her, tensely listening -- raises her voice, for Dwight's benefit, as she says she doesn't think it would be a good idea for Andy and Angela to get together. Andy thinks she would if she "looked in the smart part of [her] brain." She offers that Angela is very religious, and committed in her convictions. Andy counters that he punched a hole in a wall. Pam, musing: "That's right, you did." Pam interviews that Angela and Andy might actually make a good couple: "But I couldn't do that to Dwight. Or Angela. Or Andy." Heh.

Michael comes over to the accountants to ask Kevin for gambling advice. Seems that Michael's been looking to solve his money problems via gambling, and he wants tips for sure things, like a boxer who's about to throw a big fight. Kevin suggests that Michael would need to get information like that from the Mob. Michael asks whether Kevin knows anyone in the Mob. He...does not. Michael then turns to Oscar, quietly telling him he needs another advance on his salary. I'm guessing by now that in order to pay back what he owes, Michael will be working at Dunder Mifflin until the icecaps have melted so much that everyone is living on a yacht, or yacht equivalent. And speaking of people who are roughly in Michael's tax bracket...

...Kelly is trying to fight with Darryl in his office, but he's not having it. He can't do anything with her that night because he's going to be watching Charlotte's Web with his daughter. Kelly petulantly says that he has to choose between her and his daughter, and Darryl obviously chooses the non-Kelly option. Kelly even more petulantly knocks over a pile of papers and binders, and Darryl calmly tells her, "That was cold." Kelly: "[W hand gesture. L hand gesture. Throat-cutting gesture.]" Hat trick!

In the break room, several staffers are discussing Michael's financial problems, obviously. Stanley posits that Jan is the one who's been running through all Michael's money. Meredith can't believe that Michael has a second job, to which Oscar adds that he's not even good at his first one. Michael enters at this moment, and when everyone falls silent, Michael guesses that they're talking about Jim and Pam: "Do you think they're having sex?" Pam has to speak up to let him know she's actually in the room, which is when Oscar speaks up to ask Michael if he's having money problems. Pam asks why he has a second job. Michael says he doesn't, and suggests that maybe he's having an affair with Suzanne Somers. That's doubtful -- she's quite wealthy. Pam asks if Jan doesn't have money, and Michael says that he doesn't want to talk about money with her, since it's "unsexy." But he keeps denying that he's having any money problems, anyway, and to prove it, he crumples a dollar bill up very small and then...puts it in his pocket. Everyone's like, "You still have it," and Michael tries to say that it's unusable now. In a vending machine, maybe. Well, almost certainly. The ones at my office won't take my money unless it's crisp enough to peel an apple with.
