The Great Whomever Debate - The Office

[00:00:00]Okay, Michael, I want you to start us off.

[00:00:02]>> Um That wasn't much of an introduction.

[00:00:07]>> Ladies and gentlemen, your boss, Michael Scott.

[00:00:10]>> Oh, still lame.

[00:00:11]>> Okay.

[00:00:13]All right. Um Thank you, Ryan, for that wonderful introduction.

[00:00:21]Okay.

[00:00:23]Um Today, we're going to be talking about PowerPoint.

[00:00:32]PowerPoint. PowerPoint. PowerPoint. Yes, I forgot about Ryan's presentation, and yes, it would have been nice to do well with the first presentation that he had given me.

[00:00:43]But, you know what else would have been nice?

[00:00:45]Winning the lottery.

[00:00:47]And the best way to start is to hit start.

[00:00:52]And up comes the toolbar. That's what she said. What we have to do here is go to run.

[00:01:01]And then you look up to PowerPoint.

[00:01:08]And we are in. We are going to register.

[00:01:12]You hit register.

[00:01:14]Updates already. I should update.

[00:01:18]Um Estimated time, 12 minutes. So, this should take about 5 or 10 minutes.

[00:01:23]>> This is the first time you've opened PowerPoint.

[00:01:25]Why?

[00:01:27]You didn't prepare a presentation at all, did you?

[00:01:28]>> what? I had a really rough night, and my boss can back me up on that.

[00:01:32]>> I'm your boss.

[00:01:33]>> My other boss, Mr. Figueroa.

[00:01:35]>> You have another job?

[00:01:37]>> What I do between 5:30 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. is nobody's business but mine and my other businesses.

[00:01:43]>> Are you a cocktail waitress?

[00:01:46]You cannot have a second job if it affects your work here.

[00:01:49]>> It won't.

[00:01:50]>> It did already.

[00:01:51]>> Okay. Honestly, it is unlikely that I I going to figure this out anyway.

[00:01:57]So.

[00:01:59]>> And it's >> It's so funny.

[00:02:00]>> Why is Daryl here? He works in the warehouse.

[00:02:03]>> I invited him.

[00:02:03]>> It's not a party. Daryl, back downstairs. This isn't information you need.

[00:02:07]>> There's information here? Yeah, you're right. I don't need this.

[00:02:16]>> [snorts] >> Um see you later tonight.

[00:02:19]>> I have plans later.

[00:02:20]>> Okay, bye honey.

[00:02:28]>> How long until you actually get this presentation ready?

[00:02:30]>> Why don't you do the presentation?

[00:02:32]>> Because I don't want >> You know how to do it.

[00:02:33]>> What I really want, honestly Michael, is for you to know it so that you can communicate it to the people here, to your clients, to whomever.

[00:02:39]>> To whom ever.

[00:02:40]>> What?

[00:02:42]>> It's whoever, not whomever.

[00:02:43]>> No, it's whomever.

[00:02:44]>> No, whomever is never actually right.

[00:02:46]>> No, sometimes it's right.

[00:02:47]>> Michael is right. It's a made-up word used to trick students.

[00:02:51]>> No, actually whomever is the formal version of the word.

[00:02:55]>> Obviously it's a real word, but I don't know when to use it correctly.

[00:02:58]>> Not a native speaker.

[00:02:59]>> I know what's right, but I'm not going to say because you're all jerks who didn't come see my band last night.

[00:03:04]>> really know which one is correct?

[00:03:06]>> I don't know.

[00:03:06]>> It's whom when it's the object of the sentence and who when it's the subject.

[00:03:10]>> That sounds right.

[00:03:11]>> Well, it sounds right, but is it?

[00:03:12]>> How did Ryan use it as an object?

[00:03:13]>> As an object.

[00:03:14]>> Ryan used me as an object.

[00:03:16]>> Is he right about that?

[00:03:17]>> How did he use it again?

[00:03:18]>> It was Ryan wanted Michael, the subject, to explain the computer system, the object, to whomever, meaning us, the indirect object, which is the the correct usage of the word.

[00:03:28]>> No one asked you anything ever, so whomever's name is Toby, why don't you take a letter opener and stick it in your skull.

[00:03:35]>> Hey, this doesn't matter and I don't even care. Michael, you quit the other job or you're fired here.

[00:03:52]>> Yeah.

[00:03:53]>> Um >> Is he uncomfortable with that chair?

[00:03:56]>> No.

[00:03:58]>> All right.

[00:03:58]>> All right.

[00:03:59]He's taking a break from the chair.

[00:04:04]Okay.
