Michael Scott: Witness For The Plaintiff.
**Michael (TH)** I don t think any of us were surprised when Toby got served with divorce papers.
Though the window we see Toby at Pam s desk signing for said papers. Everyone stands there looking on in shock.
**Michael (TH)** As a citizen of the US, it s my duty and my *pleasure* to serve the Justice system when called upon. Michael gleefully holds up a subpoena.
**THE DEPOSITION**
Michael sits across from an attractive lawyer with a judge at the head of the table and the stenographer behind her.
**Cynthia Baugh, Lawyer:** Mr. Scott, can you tell the court what you know about the Flendersons' relationship before their marriage?
**Michael Scott, Witness for the plaintiff:** Well from what I know it was mostly a one sided relationship from the get go. He was working part time at a winery while in seminary, and he saw Cathy Mifflin when she picked up a box of wine for one of her father's dinner parties. He dropped out and followed her back to Scranton. Actually he drove her back when her car wouldn t start. They never did figure out why it wouldn t start. Michael raises his eyebrows. He escorted her to the party, and the events of that night lead to one of those shogun wedding things." Michael stands up and mimes a pregnant woman. A few years later Robert Mifflin, crippled with depression, killed himself with a revolver. So they say. Do you like futons?"
