Season 2

The Fire

A fire in the kitchen forces the employees of the Dunder Mifflin paper company to the parking lot where Jim (John Krasinski) suggests a game of "Desert Island" - and they learn more about each another than they may have cared to. Meanwhile, Michael (Steve Carell) tries to impress Ryan (B.J. Novak) with his business savvy - inventing his own unique "10 Rules for Business" - while Dwight (Rainn Wilson) is threatened by Michael’s attention to Ryan. Jenna Fischer also stars.

Dwight Schrute: Everyone. OK, I have an announcement. Apparently in business school they don’t teach you how to operate a toaster oven. Because some smart, sexy temp left his cheese pita on "oven" instead of timing it for the toaster thing. [holds up burnt pita and laughs maniacally]

Michael Scott: When I was Ryan’s age, I worked in a fast food restaurant to save up money for school. And then I lost it in a pyramid scheme, but I learned more about business right then and there than business school would ever teach me – or Ryan would ever teach me.
