"This is our kingdom, as far as the eye can see!" Michael Scott exclaimed, leading the camera crews into Dunder Mifflin.
Katie Krasney turned to her best friend since grade school, Jim Halpert, without missing a beat, and said "Everything the light touches is our kingdom, Simba."
"Lion King?" Jim asked, making what Katie had always called the iconic Jim face. "Really?"
"Please." Dwight Schrute said from across from them. "Everyone knows the giraffe is the real king of the jungle, as they say. Giraffes can kill a lion with a single kick."
Katie and Jim shared a glance, before turning back to Dwight. "We're talking about the movie." Katie said, as if she was stating the obvious. "Don't tell me you haven't seen the Lion King. It's a cinematic masterpiece."
"Katie is obsessed with the Lion King." Jim told the crew. "She references it nonstop."
"I killed Mufasa." Katie referenced, hoping that Dwight would recognize the line.
Instead, his eyes widened. "Who's Mufasa?" He asked. "I'm calling the police!" He jumped out of his seat, pulling out his cell phone, while Jim and Katie shared a look implying they had decided against stopping Dwight. "Hi." He said into the phone. "My colleague has just informed me that she murdered a man by the name of Mufasa? Does that name sound familiar?" There was a pause, before he frustratedly continued. "No, I swear, she just told me! We're at Dunder Mifflin Scranton!" There was another pause. "Hello? Are you still there?"
Dwight swiftly sat back down into his seat, glaring over at Katie. "You'll never get away with this, Katherine."
"It's Katie." She said, winking at him, and grabbing a pen out of his pencil holder.
"We've always teased Dwight." Katie explained, with Jim sitting next to her. "You know, when we're not doing our jobs."
"What do you guys do?" A cameraman asked.
"Our job is to speak to customers on the phone. Talk about quantities, and uh, type of copier paper." Jim explained, a bored tone in his voice. "You know, whether we can supply it to them, whether they can pay for it. And, um—"
"Jim." Katie said, cutting him off. "You're boring me."
He sighed. "I was boring myself too."
"Wazzuuuuuuuuuh!" Michael exclaimed, coming over to the trio of desks, including Dwight, Jim, and Katie.
"Michael, I'm on a call." Katie said quietly, yet sternly.
Jim smirked at her, before turning to Michael. "You know, I still love that, after seven years."
"Waszuuuuuuuh!" Dwight replied, causing Katie to look at the camera, an annoyed look on her face.
"You know what, can I call you back?" Katie asked the woman on the phone with her. "Okay, great. Thanks so much." She looked up at the three men, an awkward silence coming upon them. "What? Now that I hung up you've finally shut your damn mouths?"
"Alright." Michael said, retreating back to his office.
Soon, Jan Levinsen Gould from corproate walked into the office, making Katie quickly call back the woman she was on the phone with earlier. "Hi, Katrina." She said as she passed her, patting her back.
Katie scrunched her eyebrows in confusion, looking up to correct her, but seeing she had already stepped into Michael's office. She looked over at Jim, who was sporting a childish grin. "You know, she may not know my name, but at least she doesn't call me the wrong name."
