    Very underrated episode. It was great. The main idea bout transfer might be bad choice because it wasn't explained a lot but Dwight in this episode was amazing, so I have to give credits to him for making my mood.

    The truck ride

    The writing for this one wasn't as good as the others, but the scenes during the truck ride were worth it. It reflected on the development of the Michael-Holly relationship. The Pam-Jim brothers prank was silly and the Cornell thing was sillier.

      Pam Beesly: So apparently no one dresses up for Halloween here. I wish I had known that before I used greasepaint for my moustache. And I can't even take off my hat because then I'm Hitler.
