Episode: Dwight K. Schrute, (Acting) Manager (Season 7 Episode 24)


Dwight fires off a Gun

Lincoln was looking at his computer, when he heard Dwight walking around. He rolled his eyes, since Jo had appointed Dwight as the temporary Regional Manager after Deangelo, who was Michael's replacement, was hospitalized, and wouldn't be coming back. He had become a bigger pain than he normally was, and he had only been in the position for a week.

He glanced at him, but did a double take when he noticed something on his hip.

"Dwight, why do you have a gun?" He asked uncertainly.

Everyone looked at Dwight, and he had revolver and a holster on his hip.

"The holster was a gift from my Great-Uncle Honk. Um, I don't know. I guess he's saying that he's proud of me." He explained.

"Dwight, guns make me really uncomfortable." Andy said.

"The gun is just an accessory to the holster, okay? I can't walk around wearing an empty holster."

"Why do you need to wear the holster at all?" Pam asked.

"Why do you need to keep wearing those booby shirts all the time?" He shot back.

"Thank you." Angela agreed.

"You can put your cell phone in it instead." Phyllis suggested.

"Uh… hello!" He said as he showed her the carrier he had for his phone already.

"You can put a banana in it." Kevin suggested.

Dwight gave him an incredulous look and said, "Why would I put a banana in my holster?"

"In case you weren't hungry now, but you got hungry later." Kevin said as if it was the most obvious thing.

"Or how about don't have a gun at all." Lincoln said, he was also having a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Which was pretty likely, considering how things normally happened here.

"Lincoln's right, Dwight. No gun, okay? Don't make us call Jo." Pam threatened.

"Okay, all right, fine. Everyone calm down. Someone get me a banana." He said and took out the gun. "Sorry I freaked you guys out-"

As Dwight was spinning the revolver in his hand, it went off near Andy. Everyone jumped and screamed, and Lincoln ended up jumping in his seat.

Unfortunately, he reclined to far, and ended up falling to the ground, and hitting his head. He blinked, and groaned slightly.

"Andy, Lincoln! Oh no, Dwight shot Lincoln!" He heard Erin say.

"What! No I didn't!" Dwight fearfully said.

Jim helped Lincoln up, and he sat his chair, as he rubbed the back of his head.

"No he didn't he's fine." Jim reassured.

Everyone looked relieved, and Lincoln sent a quick glare at Dwight. He noticed Andy holding his ear, this was due to the fact the gun was in close proximity to him when it went off.

"It's so loud!" He said.

"Dude, what the f*ck is wrong with you!?" Lincoln angrily cursed at Dwight.

Everyone gave Lincoln surprised looks. Lincoln hardly cursed, and didn't get angry easily. He was pretty much a laid back, and calm person like Jim. So it was a shock to see him angry, and to actually curse at someone. Even though the person in question deserved it.

Oscar went to check where the bullet went, and checked the carpeting.

He laughed and said," My God. There is a hardwood floor underneath this carpeting. Why would they do that?"

Andy tried to create a pitch, but it seemed like he was having trouble, "There's like this crazy ringing going on. I can't… eeeee… I can't find the perfect C."

"Your eardrum burst, depending on the seriousness of it, it will take a couple of weeks to heal. But I suggest you go to the ER, to get it checked out." Lincoln said.

"Don't tell me, Luna's music volume caused you guys have temporary hearing lost." Andy stated.

"Yes that, and my sister Lisa tended to create explosions in the house from her chemicals." Lincoln explained further.

"Again, why haven't you made a book about your childhood?" Jim asked.

"I know, I know, I'm still on the fence about it." Lincoln said as he rubbed his head again.

"Hey, what happened?" Toby as he walked into the room.

"Dwight went on a shooting spree, and shot Andy and Lincoln." Kelly said.

"No, no, no. all we know is that a gun fired. That's all we know! No, that's not true. Actually, we heard a loud noise. Later, a hole was seen. No one saw the bullet leave the gun." Dwight tried to explain his version of the story.

Andy tried to sing again but had no luck and said," Something's definitely wrong. I think Linc was right."

"I can't reach Jo… she must already be on a plane." Gabe said.

"Why are you calling Jo?" Dwight asked, slightly freaked out.

Lincoln would've gave him a really sarcastic response, but he refrained himself from doing so.

"I think I should go to the hospital." Andy said.

"Yeah, I think Lincoln should go to. He might have a concussion again." Pam said.

Lincoln shook his head and said," No I'm fine. I don't need to."

"Do you want me to call your sisters?" Pam threatened.

Lincoln slightly paled and said," Yeah… maybe I should."

"I'll take them." Erin suggested.

"NO!" Gabe yelled, and that caused everyone to look at him. "We really shouldn't be without a receptionist. Now more than ever." He continued, trying to cover his outburst.

"I'll take them."Darryl said.

"Thank you, Darryl." Andy said.

He then got up, and held onto his arm, as if he was seriously injured. Darryl gave him a look, and he let him go and walked normally.

Lincoln sighed, and walked after them.

He just hoped the others can find a way to fix all of this.
