It's a funny episode, but at the same time it wasn't very subtle in showing the differences in work ethics between family-run businesses and big corporations. For the first time I felt slightly sad atthe end of this episode. Hillary Swank is hot.

Michael and Dwight need to get information of a family run paper company to ruin the competition.

The main story is kind of sad. Michael showing his caring self a little bit, not a bad story but to be honest very forgettable even though it is an interesting topic. But it is a sitcom, other things matter here.

The Hilary Swank story in the office though is a pretty fun one. I loved their arguments and especially how Michael ended up finishing the debate at the end.

The Office usually tries to show us the world of businees from the perspective of a small/mid paper enterprise. We as spectators get to acknowledge the management and the differences between the employees by debating the morals behind their actions. This review is a 10/10 because the chapter explains it's ends in the most subtle and bittersweet way that i can remember in the series. Clearly we never get to see the cruelty behind the four walls that take the hard decisions to this point. Here Michael Scott has to do the supervisor's work of Dunder Mifflin in Scranton to inform David Wallace about a small local company called Prince Family Paper. This company with about 80 clients are going to be victim of the lovable Michael Scott because of the hard competitiveness in the bussiness world and the needless need to improve Dunder Mifflin values in the stock exchange. Why did Michael and I conclude that this chapter is bittersweet? Michael because he endured the hard decision-making alone / semi-alone (since Dwight isn't the best guy to discuss morals). And I because i couldn't stand (up to this day) why the office employees were discussing such a dumb thread as an actress being hot or not? How could nobody notice that Michael and Dwight were having serious trouble running around the whole office? We as a society spend too much time disscusing useless things such as celebrities, sports, or we even take politics to the same discussion level, but finally we never get to do democratically what is correct. That's why this chapter is bittersweet, because is real, is difficult to see, and is an unspoken truth subtly delivered in front of our eyes.

I hated this episode because of what they did to prince papers, the right way was to buy-out the company or at the very least propose an offer and tell them they're going to go after their customers so take this money atleast instead of losing it all.. Plus they made the paper company too naive, soft and dumb. No one hands out their client list.

The office has a debate on the hotness of a female celebrity.

David Wallace asks Michael to go get information by going in person to a family business. They are kind and even give Michael their client list. Michael's bumper falls off and they come out to help.

Dwight persuades Michael to give the info and client list to David. Michael knows he probably destroyed the family business because now Dunder Mifflin can take their clients. He calls it a bittersweet moment after David praises him.

Michael sees the photos of the celebrity and casually says she is hot. The hot side celebrates
