Food for thought

I've heard rumblings that my loyal readers have been starving for updates. So as not to disappoint, I offer the following...

Discuss: The Office (U.K.) vs. The Office (U.S.)

The Office: BBC

[Gareth's phone rings. He puts it on speaker.]

Gareth: Gareth Keenan. Hello.

Ange: Hi, baby. It's Ange.

[Tim, Dawn and Rachel all look up.]

Gareth: [embarrassed] All right.

Ange: Are you coming round tonight?

Gareth: I can't. I'm going up Chasers with the lads.

Ange: Oh, come round first. We'll have a bit of time together.

Gareth: All right.

Ange: Have some fun.

Gareth: Yep. Okay.

Ange: Are you going to bring the toys again?

[Gareth, embarrassed, hurriedly picks the phone up.]

Gareth: Erm, Yeah... okay... yeah... look forward to... doing it to you too. All right, bye.

[Gareth puts the phone down. There is a stunned silence.]

Tim: The toys?

Gareth: Shut up.

Tim: What are the toys? Is it Buckaroo? It's not Boggle, is it?

Gareth: Shut up.

Tim: If it's Kerplunk, I'm coming round.

Gareth: It was a private phone call, so...

Tim: Well, don't put it on speakerphone then, Gareth.

[Turns round to talk to Rachel.]

Tim: Yeah, the Jolly Farmer sounds good...

[Turns back to Gareth.]

Tim: Is it Hungry Hippos?

The Office: NBC

Dwight: The problem, Jim, is that people who are really suffering from a medical condition won't receive the care they need because someone in this office is coming up with ridiculous stuff. Count Choculitis.

Jim: Sounds tough.

Dwight: Why did you write that down, Jim? Is it because you know I love Count Chocula?
