Episode: Prince Family Paper (Season 5, Episode 13)


Red Wire

It was the start of the work day for Dwight, and he was getting settled at his desk, when he noticed something strange on the back of his computer. He found a red wire on the back of the monitor.

"What's this?" He mumbled.

"It looks like a red wire." Jim said uninterested.

"It's a wire, Dwight, computers have wires."

Lincoln, who was sitting and working, held back a grin, knowing what was going on.

"Yours and Lincoln's don't." Dwight said.

Lincoln and Jim both checked behind their monitors.

"Huh." Jim agreed.

"Yeah, weird." Lincoln said.

Dwight then started to pull the wire, and then started to follow where it went. He ended up going around Phyllis and Stanley's desks, and then found himself going out the back way.

As soon as he left, Lincoln gave Jim a 'really' look, and Jim shrugged with a grin.

Both Lincoln and Jim were being interviewed, with the back window shades being open.

"I got 500 feet of red wire, at a flea market, down by Donmore High School, $20 for the whole spool. Crazy, what a deal."

One of the crew members pointed out what was going on behind them, and they both turned to see that Dwight had climbed up one of the power poles, which had the red wire on it.

"Oh, he'll be fine. I made it up there." Jim waved off.

"Don't you think sometimes, how easy it is to fool him? And should do something else?" Lincoln asked.

Jim shrugged, and said," When it stops being funny."
