David: [on speaker] Michael. You got Jim there with you?
Michael Scott: No, it's just us.
David: Actually, can you call Jim in? I want him on, please.
Michael Scott: Oh. Well, here he is right now. [knocking on wood table, creaking sound of door opening] Come in. [making footstep sounds]
Jim: Hi, David.
David: So I spoke to Alan. We had kind of an unconventional idea, which I think is pretty cool. But it only works if everyone's on board.
Michael Scott: Well, just as long as it means Jim becomes a manager.
David: We were thinking of having two branch managers in Scranton. Both of you guys working as co-managers. Jim would handle the day-to-day, and, Michael, you would focus on clients and big picture stuff.
Jim: Wow, that sounds pretty cool.
Michael Scott: I like that! So manager and co-manager.
David: Co-manager and co-manager. You see, there are a lot of moving pieces, but this is the only way I could sell it upstairs.
Michael Scott: Well, that might be a little confusing for people as they know me as manager.
David: All right, hey, Michael, can you pick up for one second? Okay, look, I'm not gonna force you into anything.
If you're willing to lose Jim, fine. You just say so. We'll find another solution. Okay. Is that what you want to do?
