Camera's POV (interviews will be in italics)
Jim says to the phone, "Right, oh let me just check the pricing list. Hold on one second... "
Dwight quietly says unto his phone, "Sensei, hello it's Sempai..."
Jim looks at Dwight and gets confused.
Dwight slowly says his name.
Jim sighs into his phone and says, "You know what, let me give you a call right back. I'm going to uh, find it and then I'll call you back, thanks." He hangs up and watches/listens to Dwight's conversation.
Dwight says quietly, "Yes, I just had a ques-... Yes Sensei. Arigatou gozaimashita. Hai."
Dwight hung up the phone and goes back to his work.
Jim continues to work as he asks, "Was that your mom?"
"No," Dwight says, "that was my Sensei."
"Oh, I thought it was your mom." Jim says casually.
Dwight says matter of factly, "I am now Sempai, which is Assistant Sensei."
Jim raises his eyebrows, "Assistant to the Sensei, that's pretty cool."
"Assistant Sensei." Dwight says forcefully.
"Ok." Jim says.
---------
Dwight says , "I am a practitioner of Goju Ru Karate, here in Scranton." Footage of Dwight doing kicks in his dojo. "My Sensei, Ira, recently promoted me to purple belt, and gave me the duties of a Sempai. Not that a lot of people here in America know what a Sempai is, but it is equally as respected as a Sensei." As he says this more shots of him in his dojo are shown. They show him cleaning the mats and holding the kicking bag for kids.

Stanley puts a folder on the reception desk and says to Pam, "I don't want to stay until seven again this year."
Pam replies, "I don't really have any control over that Stanley."
Stanley sighs and walks back to his desk.
-------
"Michael tends to procrastinate a bit whenever he has to do work." Pam says, "Umm, time cards, he has to sign these every Friday. Purchase orders have to be approved at the end of every month. And expense reports, all he has to do is initial these at the end of every quarter. But once a year, it all falls on the same Friday and that's today. I call it the Perfect Storm." She has the folder full of papers for Micheal.
-------
Michael sings and taps on his coffee mug, "I don't want to work, I just want to bang on this mug all day."
Ryan looks at the camera confused, "Did you ask me here for any specific reason?" He asks Micheal.
Michael stops tapping on his mug and explains, "Uhh, yes, I did, here's the dizzle. I have a very top secret mission for you. I want you to update all the emergency contact information."
Ryan says confused, "Why is that secret?"
Pam knocks and walks into Michael's office, Micheal says to her, "Hello, oh God, busy work. Ahh, get away, cretin."
Pam says, "Umm, I put stickers so you know where to sign."
Michael sighs and says, "Yes, thank you. I know where to sign."
Pam tries, "It's just last year you..."
Michael interrupts, "Last year they were out of order, weren't they Pam?"
Pam reasons, "Well, the last pick-up for overnight deliveries is at seven. So you need to have them signed by then. Or much earlier."
Michael says, "Chillax, Pam. Stop Pam-M-S-ing. That's pretty good. Um, actually, I'm sending Ryan on a top secret mission. Tell her what it is."
Ryan mumbles, "Updating emergency contacts."
Pam questions, "Well, is that really a priority?"
Michael asks, "Is it a priority? Oh I don't know, um, what if there is a tornado, Pam? People's legs are crushed under rubble. "Please, would you be so kind as to call my wife?" "No, I can't because we don't have any emergency contact information because Pam said it wasn't a priority." Think. Think with your head, Pam. Ok, well. She walks out" As he says this Creed walks in with a tall short haired blond. Pam sees them and greets them, "Hi Creed, who's this?"
"This is Jacqueline Williams, I brought her in for an interview." Creed says to her. Pam raises her eyebrow, "Oh, just let me tell Micheal." She gets up again and walks to Micheal's office. She knocks and opens the door again. "Ah! Pam back for more!" Micheal says.
"Oh, no, um. Creed brought someone in for an interview."
"Oh! Tell them to come in." Micheal says.
Pam tells Creed and the girl to go into his office. Creed walks in, "Hey boss man. This is Jacqueline Williams."
Micheal looks at the beautiful girl and says, "Ryan can you leave us."
He mumbles a yeah and gets up. Creed and Jacqueline sit in the chairs. "So Jacqueline are you a friend of Creed's?" Micheal asks.
"Uh, yeah. I met him at a soup kitchen and he said he would see if I could work here." Jacqueline's British voice says.
"Ooh! Nice accent!" Micheal says.
"Thanks," she says awkwardly, "I've been working on it since I was a child."
He laughs, "That's funny." He sighs, "Um do you have a ressume?"
Suddenly the door opens and Toby comes in, "Get out. What are you doing in here?!" Micheal says angry.
Toby mumbles, "Well I heard that you were interviewing someone.."
"What?" Micheal snaps, "You thought you'd peep in you pervert."
"No," Toby mumbles, "as the HR Rep I have to be at interviews."
"Whatever." Micheal says and moves to the chair behind his desk.
Toby sits down and opens a binder, "So, um I'm sorry what's your name?"
"Ahem, uh Jacqueline Williams." She says softly.
As Micheal and Toby look over her resume Creed says, "Yeah Jac is smart, she has a degree to look in people's heads."
Micheal's face contorts in confusion, "Creed. What. What are you even talking about?"
Jac clears her throat, "He means I have psychology, sociology, and BA/MA degrees."
Micheal raises his eyebrows, "Oh! That's more than Toby!"
"Well-" Toby starts.
"You're hired," Micheal exclaims, "you'll be HR with Toby!"
"Okay, well Micheal we have to ask Copor-" Toby tries
"Ah! You'll ask and if she can't then I swear Toby.." Micheal threatens.
"You- you swear what?" Jac asks.
"Nothing," Micheal says changing his expression to a smile, "when can you start?"
"Uh, today. I brought my stuff in Creed's car."
"Okay! I'll help you get your stuff!" Micheal gets up happily.
Jac, Toby, and Creed also stand, "Uh actually I'd rather have Creed help me."
"Oh!", Micheal awkwardly sits down, "Uh, yeah. Yeah, go ahead."
The two walk out of his office and Toby stays, "What're you still doing in here?" Micheal basically spits out.
"Micheal.." Toby mumbles, "What if corporate says no? The poor girl won't be able to work here.."
Micheal points at Toby angerly, "You better make sure they say yes then."
Toby just gives up and leaves. Everyone was in the room, Kelly asks "Toby who was that?"
"That was a friend of Creed's she might be working in HR with me now."
"Two HR reps? That's ridiculous." Dwight scoffs.
"Well.." Toby mumbles on, "it was Micheal's decision."
-----
A camera follows Jac and Creed out to his car, Creed pops his trunk open. Jac turns to him and pulls him into a hug. He hugs her back, "Thanks dad."
"No problem sweetheart. It's the least I could do after Izabella's death. I'm sorry I couldn't come to putting her in the ground."
A few tears escape Jac's eyes and she sniffles, "It's okay. I'm just glad I have you."
He rubs her back and holds her at arms length, "Lets get these boxes in."
She nods and he grabs two boxes she grabs one and a black tote.
-----
The camera is in Micheal's office with him as he watches Jac and Creed at his car. "I'm glad Creed brought her. She's hot and smart." Suddenly they hug, "Oh? They're just friends right?" He looks at the camera, "You guys would tell me if they're more right?"
----
Jac and Creed walk into the office when Jim is at Pam's desk. Jim turns, "Oh, Creed do you want some help?"
Jim grabs the top box, "Thanks." Creed mumbles.
They go back to the annex and Jac asks Toby where she should sit, "Oh that desk right there."
He points to the desk in from of the break room window. She says a okay and puts her box on the desk. "Oh you guys can just set those on the floor. Thanks."
Creed nods and grabs her shoulder and whispers in her ear, "Okay I'm gonna go to my desk. See ya slick."
She laughs and says okay. Jim stays at her desk and she looks at him, "Ah you must be the Jimmy that Creed told me about, he told me the tall one."
She extends her hand to him, he laughs and shakes her hand, "Um it's Jim actually. Jim Halpert."
"Oh," she laughs, "silly Creed. I'm Jacqueline Williams, you can call me Jac."
She opens the box on her desk and it's full of smaller boxes, Jim pulls one out, "What's this?"
She blushes and lightly takes it from him, "I uh collect stones and crystals."
"That's cool, do you want help setting up your desk?" He rubs a hand on the back of his neck with a smile.
She smiles back, "Yeah sure. Just be careful, your huge hands could break these."
He laughs, "My hands are not that big."
She grabs his hand and he blushes slightly. She puts it up to her hand, his fingers extending over hers, "I don't know Halpert.. that seems a little big."
He chuckles and pulls a box out, "Whatever Williams."
She giggles and pulls one out too. Once they get all the crystals out she picks up the box that Creed carried. She opens it and pulls out a wood triangle, "Okay so.." she puts hand under her chin in thought and bites her lip, "help me pick where to put the crystals."
"Okay." He chuckles.
After a little they have a line of crystals and her triangle all set up. "Looks good."
"Yeah," Jim says, "do you need any other help? Because I should probably get back to selling paper."
"Oh yeah you can go. I'll see you at lunch right?"
He smiles, "Yeah totally."
Micheal then walks in, "Oh gosh Jim are you bothering her."
"No he was fin-" Jac starts.
"Bah bah bah bah." Micheal makes weird noises.
Jim walks backwards out the door and waves to Jac, "Ah good he's gone, so you want a tour?" Micheal says with a smile.
"Um sure." She says with a weary smile.
"Well this is the annex." Micheal points to Toby, "That's the monster." Toby tries to protest but Micheal makes noises again. He leads Jac over to Kelly, "This is Kelly. She's our Indian love."
Jac cringed at the joke and puts her hand out for Kelly to shake, "Hi, I'm Jacqueline. You can call me Jac."
"Hi! I'm Kelly! We're gonna be best friends!" Kelly dismisses Jac's hand and goes in for a hug.
Jac surprised doesn't hug back. Micheal clears his throat and pulls Jac away, "This is the break room." He points through the window above her desk. He leads her through the kitchen, "This is the kitchen and where the bathrooms are. Ah and this is Kevin our food eating machine and Phyllis our mother figure!"
Jac waves and says, "Hi I'm Jacqueline Williams, but you can me Jac."
"Hi, I'm Phyllis as Micheal said. I like your necklace." Phyllis said with a kind smile.
"Aw, thank you!" Jac said lightly touching her necklace.
"Kevin." Kevin says putting her hand out for her to shake. She does and he asks, "Are you from Europe you don't sound like us?"
"Wow Kevin," Micheal says mad, "could you be any more offensive?"
Jac looked between them frantically and lightly touched Kevin's shoulder, "It's okay Kevin and yes I am from Europe. Westminster, United Kingdom to be exact."
"Ooh," Phyllis says, "Westminster? Is it as pretty as they say there?"
"Oh, well Westminster Abbey is. Not so sure about the rest though." She laughs a little.
Phyllis smiles and Micheal pulls Jac away, "Okay they're boring. Let's go to the bull pen."
"I thought they were nice.." she mumbles.
He pulls her through the door and puts a hand in Stanley's shoulder, "This is Stanley, he gives the office it's urban vibe."
"Get your hand off me." Stanley says in his monotone voice.
"Hey now. We have a new person." Micheal says laughing a little.
Stanley looks at the girl and says, "Stanley Hudson."
"Jacqueline Williams," she sees his sudoko books, "oh, I had some of those back home, I don't usually do them, would you them?"
Stanley smiles lightly, "Why thank you."
She smiles back, "I'll bring them tomorrow."
Micheal pulls her towards Creed and Meredith's desk clump, "Well you know the dinosaur," Creed and Jac give Micheal small dirty looks, "and this is our party girl Meredith."
"Hi, your hair is nice." Meredith says then takes a sip from her cup.
"Thanks, I'm Jac Williams."
Meredith smiles and goes back to work. Micheal takes her to accounting, "This is accounting, out cat lady Angela and Oscar our numbers man, and also Kevin who you've met."
She shakes their hands, "Hi, I'm Jacqueline Williams."
Oscar thinks for a moment, "What part of the U.K. are you from?"
"Westminster."
"Is the Westminster Abbey as pretty as they?" Oscar asks intrigued.
"Yeah."
Angela mutters, "Collegiate, ugh."
Micheal then mutters, "Well okay," he walks Jac to Pam's desk, "this is the office hottie, well actually you may take that title now," both girls frown and Jim makes a weird face, "Pam Beesley!"
Pam stands up and greets Jac, she quietly says, "Sorry about Micheal."
Jac shrugs and Micheal says in a high voice, "Ooh! Girls talk!" He laughs as the girls frown again. He turns Jac to Jim and Dwight's clump and says, "And this is Jim as you know and Dwight."
Jac nods with a smile to Jim does the same. Dwight doesn't say anything, "Dwight. Say hi." Micheal says.
He doesn't look at her and says, "Dwight Schrute."
She looks at his desk and she's the small Galactica he has on his desk, "Battlestar Galactic, best show ever."
He looks at her and slowly says, "You watch Battlestar Galactica?"
"Oh yeah, we had a club in college for it, I was co-founder." She says like it's obvious.
"That's awesome!" Dwight smiles, he puts out a hand for her to shake, "Glad to meet you, Jacqueline."
"You can call me Jac." She smiles and shakes his hand.
Micheal says, "Okay well that's everyone, if you need anything I'll be right there." He points at his office, "Anything."
She gives him a weird look and says okay. He goes into his office and closes the door. Jac sighs and leans against Jim's desk, "How do you deal with him?"
"You'll get used to it." Jim says with a smile, "Battlestar Galactica huh?" He looks back at his computer and chuckles a little, "Nerd."
"Hey!" She lightly hits his shoulder.
He grabs it and fakes, "Ow! Jeez Williams I'm fragile. And how would Corporate feel if a HR Rep was beating a salesman."
She rolls her eyes and laughs, "Oh shush you baby."
She stands up straight and stands behind him, she puts her hands on his shoulders and leans down then whispers, "At least I don't like Green Lantern.."
She pats his shoulders and walks away, "How'd she?.." Jim mumbles.
He then laughs a little and Pam watches then looks at her computer quickly when she sees the Camera on her.
---------
"It seems okay here so far," Jac says then listens, "just. Ugh, we don't talk about Micheal. This is a happy place in this interview," then the cameraman asks another question, "hey, I can't reveal my ways," she then makes sure no ones looking or listening and whispers, "it was a guess." She smiles a little, "what do I think of Jim? Why do you ask?" They say something else to her, "well he's a nice guy, I still don't know why this is relevant?" She looks at the camera confused.
