Caf Disco Franchised
Ryan TH: When I got demoted to temp I had a lot more time and a lot less money. Since going into business with Michael went so well the last time, I did it again. Billy took out a couple of walls, and Caf Disco is a franchise. It s like Starbucks, only smaller. With a dancing girl.
Katy TH: The career in purses was going no where, and I cheered in high school. Ryan remembered that, somehow. This is my stall. Katy indicates what used to be the mop station in the closet that is now Caf Disco. It is now enclosed in glass with a multicolored strobe light. And this is the uniform Ryan picked out for me. Katy holds up a tiny bikini. My career is going really badly right now.
Kevin TH: Nice.
Ryan TH: Michael wanted to make sure we had the Awesome Blossom on the menu, but they are trademarked. So are the Blooming Onion and the Texas Rose. So allow me to introduce you to the Deep Fried Disco Onion. Long pause. Michael really isn t good at naming things. He did let me decide everything else, though."
Roy comes to stand by Ryan. Both of them have evil grins on their faces.
Ryan TH: If I could have convinced Karen to come work for me, I would have. Look alive Halpert. It is the year of Ryan, part two.
Roy TH: What he said.
Kelly TH: My man is in management again.
