Welcome back to our second drink of lecture circuit part one.
Start with this fan question from Melinda D in Austin, Texas.
Hi, ladies.
I love the opening scene where Michael is on the intercom saying ridiculous things.
Were there any candy bag alts for this?
Thanks.
Love the podcast.
Okay, so Melinda, I love this cold open too.
And Jim has that great line that sets it up where he says,
this morning the phone guy comes in and he shows Michael that the phones have a PA function.
And then he just left.
Yes.
And then Michael does all these silly bits over the PA and it's so annoying
to everyone who's trying to get their work done.
And Angela, I remember we got a question in our original breakdown asking if any of it was improvised,
but I don't think we dug into the candy bag alts for this.
No, lady, we did not.
We had read the shooting draft script, so we referenced that.
But Melinda, thanks for writing in because it sent me into the candy bag.
There was so much fun stuff there.
