[applause] (holly) thanks, michael. [sighs deeply]

today we're gonna have a business ethics seminar, because recently, without mentioning any names, there has been some misconduct at corporate. and we have a very strict ethics policy, and that employee has been fired. oh, come on. he's right there. he was hired. ooh, check it out-- hired guy. nice. okay, elephant in the room. let's talk about it. do i regret what i did? of course i do, even though it was an amazing ride, and i'll give you an example. anyone see survivor, season six? anyone know joanna on that show? in new york city, i hooked up with a girl who looked exactly like that-- indistinguishable, so... okay. well done. good speech, ryan. you're a good guy. (holly) let's start discussing those questionnaires that you filled in this morning. "it is wrong to make personal calls during work hours." now, some of you marked that you very strongly agree. but ideally you would've selected "totally agree." i thought "very strongly agree" sounded stronger than "totally agree."

corporate would like to emphasize that, ideally, you would all totally agree with that statement. well, i think we can all totally agree that holly is totally fantastic. thank you. okay. okay, "in fact, "spending a half hour at the watercooler during work hours is a form of stealing." what? yes, it's called time theft, and it's the same as taking money from the company. can anyone think of examples of things that are over-the-line time-wasters? this meeting. [shouting in agreement] can't set them up like that. (kelly) why is it okay for smokers to take breaks all the time? if i want to go outside and hang out once an hour, then i'll just take up smoking. i'll do it. i don't care. (meredith) i'll smoke with you. i got a bag of cigars in my purse. stealing office supplies is other big ethical area that there seems to be some confusion about. okay. can we have a moment? [whispering can i talk to you for a second? a lot of good stuff, and you look--you look fantastic. (dwight) michael. yeah? what should we be working on while you guys are talking? [normal voice] do some--do some work.

[whispering] people expect a lot from these meetings-- laughter, sudden twists, surprise endings. you need to be robin williams and m. night shyamalan. you need to be robin shyamalan. [whispering] well, i just have to get through the binder. well, it's--just-- you're kind of losing them. i am? yeah, don't think about the stakes. it'll freak you out. okay. [normal voice] well, [clears throat] michael makes a really good point. so, uh, let's just open this up a little bit. say my name is lauren, and here i am shopping in a supermarket, and i steal a pencil. that's not right. [coughing] lauren, enough with the pencils. no, i have to go over pencils and office supplies. it's part of the ethics thing. that isn't ethics. ethics is a real discussion of competing conceptions of the good. (andy) i'll drop an ethics bomb on you. would you steal bread to feed your family? boom! exactly, andy. yeah, i took intro to philosophy twice-- no big deal.

it's a trick question. the bread is poisoned. also, it's not your real family. you've been cuckolded by a stronger, smarter male. no, that's not how it works. i would not steal the bread. and i would not let my family go hungry. (holly) okay, but we should get back to business. have any of you ever faced any ethical dilemmas in the workplace? (michael) anybody? this is a chance for you to say something without any repercussions. stanley? mnh-mnh. oscar, come on. pass. i will go first. when i discovered youtube, i didn't work for five days. i did nothing. i viewed cookie monster sings chocolate rain about 1,000 times. what was the dilemma? to tell you or not, and i'm glad i did. i feel very, very good and "catharctic." i promise you that you are not going to get into trouble. you can say anything you want with total and complete immunity.

(jim) dwight, you've really never stolen any company time? never. you are a thief of joy. anybody else? yeah. sometimes i download pirated music onto my work computer. who hasn't? good. good! what else? no, no, i'd like to hear more about that. i once reported oscar to the i.n.s. turns out he's clean, but i'm glad i did it. well, let's keep this party moving on. i'll go. have you guys ever met bruce myers, the scranton rep for hammermill? bru-u-ce! well, for the past six years, i've been sleeping with him in exchange for discounts on our supplies and outback steakhouse gift certificates. jackpot. [scoffs] oh, oh, oh. [clrs throat] meredith, that is serious. i-i mean, not only is that a conflict of interest, [snickering] but there's also an exchange of goods.

exchange of steak. have you ever had sirloin steak, honey? that's crazy talk. meredith. the "merenator," sleeping with suppliers. [laughing] ooh, ooh. wow. what time do we got? you know what? that's a good place to end it, right there. this, i think, was a great ethics seminar. she has given us a lot of wonderful things to think about. right, what is wrong-- who's to say, really, in the end? i mean, because it is unknowable, but let's give her a round of applause. holly, everybody. [applause] holly. get back to work. (michael) great job. oh. i am truly impressed. that, uh-- you really pulled that one out. classic, classic meeting. [whispering] we should celebrate. michael, there are some serious issues with meredith. oh. i mean, all of you have done things i wouldn't have done myself, but meredith's actions are really over the line.
