Official transcript

The Boss walks up to Carol's desk. He is thoroughly disheveled; his hair is messed up, his shirt is torn and dirty. He exclaims, "I've been trapped in my office for three days! Didn't you hear me scream?"

The Boss continues, shaking his hands frantically in front of Carol: "I used my staple remover to claw through the side wall!"

Carol responds calmly, "Your door is a pull, not a push."

The Boss, looking confused, replies, "Get me a bigger staple remover just to be safe."
