Crete is eating an apple.

I found a potato.

Hey Crete.

Hey.

Hello.

That's for

me.

Great.

Where'd you get it?

I don't know.

It was so long ago.

He obviously forgot to get me something, and then he went into his closet and dug out this little number, and then threw it in a bag.

Yep, that's exactly what happened.

The pleasure is all mine.

Oh, thanks.

I'm really looking forward to sitting down with you and finding out more about what you do here.

Anytime.

Yeah.

What do you do here?

Excuse me.

What is wrong with this woman?

She's asking about stuff that's nobody's business.

What do I do?

Really, what do I do here?

I should have written it down.

Qua something.

Qua, quarr, quabble, quarr, quarr, quabbity, quabbity aschwitz.

No, no, no, no, no, but I'm getting close.

This is Creed, and he is in charge of something, right?

That is correct.

Say hi to the kids.

Hi, kids.

Yay.

Have you ever seen a foot with four toes?

What are you doing?

Stop it, stop it!

No, no, no, no, no!

Would you cut it out?

What is your problem?

No, no, no, we're not gonna see the four-toed creed.

Where's your place?

Oh, it's on Linden Ave, by the quarry.

Oh.

Cool beans, man.

I live by the quarry.

We should hang out by the quarry and throw things down there.

Definitely we should.

I would never do that.

Waste of money.

I find it offensive.

Au naturel, baby.

That's how I like them.

Swing low, sweet chariots.

Thanks.

Playing a little hooky from work today.

Oh, my God.

I guess you remember everybody else from when we visited you at your restaurant.

I bet you memorized what everybody drinks.

Not really.

No?

No. Yeah, dined and dashed.

Usually they don't follow you to your place of work.

Happens sometimes.

Part of the game.

It's a beautiful morning at Dunder Mifflin.

As I like to call it, Great Bratton.

Keep it running. Does it hurt terribly?

No, it's not too bad.

They have me on a lot of painkillers.

Oh, really?

What kind?

Codeine?

Vicodin?

Percocet?

Fentanyl?

Oxycontin?

Palladone?

I have no idea.

Wow.

Okay, team building.

On this side of the room, Stanley, Phyllis, Jim, Ted, Elroy.

On this side of the room, Pam, Meredith, Phyllis, Creed.

He never called a meeting.

I noticed you don't have a resolution on the board.

What's yours?

I want to do a cartwheel, but real casual-like.

I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it, but I know everybody saw it.

There's one stunning, gorgeous cartwheel.

How's it going?

I'm having a little trouble motivating.

How old are you?

Wait, let me guess.

30. No, no, no. 60.

34. Cool beans.

Me too.

That is Northern Lights Cannabis Indica.

No. It's marijuana.

I may have inside information that someone is hiding drugs in this very office

Just pretend like we're talking until the cops leave so strike scream and run all right,

100

let's try it Hey cuz Heard you're having money problems.

101

No, you didn't.

102

Listen, I got the answer.

103

You declare bankruptcy, all your problems go away.

104

Creed Bratton has never declared bankruptcy.

105

When Creed Bratton gets in trouble, he transfers his debt to William Charles Schneider.

106

How would that help, Creed?

107

In Monopoly, you go bankrupt, you lose.

108

You don't go by Monopoly, man.

109

That game is nuts.

110

Nobody just picks up get-out-of-jail-free cards.

111

Those things cost thousands.

112

That is a good point.

113

Bankruptcy, Michael, is nature's do-over.

114

It's a fresh start.

115

It's a clean slate.

116

Like the witness protection program.

117

Exactly.

118

Not at all.

119

Creed?

120

Yes, sir.

121

Everything okay?

122

Everything's cool, dude.

123

I'm 30.

124

Well, in November, I'll be 30.

125

Yeah.

126

Why do you have the big picture up again?

127

You used that already when you burned your foot.

128

We're using the Ben Kingsley, too.

129

I was going to put up some new pictures, but all of the ink in the printer was gone.

130

Oh.

131

Okay, he's dead.

132

Anyone know what we do next?

133

Anybody?

134

Rose?

135

I have no idea.

136

Anyone else?

137

We bury him.

138

Wrong.

139

Check for an organ donor card.

140

If he has one, we only have minutes to harvest.

141

He has no wallet, I checked.

142

He is an organ donor.

143

Okay, Ryan, you told Toby that Creed has a distinct old man smell.

144

I know exactly what he's talking about.

145

I sprout mung beans on a damp paper towel in my desk drawer.

146

Very nutritious, but they smell like death.

147

Where is Creed?

148

Creed?

149

Here.

150

Quality assurance.

151

Your job.

152

I really think you screwed the pooch on this one, Creed.

153

Because of you, the entire company is in jeopardy.

154

Every week, I'm supposed to take four hours and do a quality spot check at the paper mill.

155

And, of course, the one year I blow it off, this happens.

156

Yes, hello.

157

Creed Braddon, Quality Assurance, Dunder Mifflin, Scranton.

158

I was supposed to meet with one of your floor managers last week for a quality inspection, and he or she wasn't there.

159

And I'm trying to remember who it was.

160

Who wasn't there last week?

161

Debbie Brown.

162

And which day was that?

163

Wednesday the 11th.

164

Perfect.

165

The only difference between me and a homeless man is this job.

166

I will do whatever it takes to survive, like I did when I was a homeless man.

167

When I went over Wednesday for the spot check, I got a call from Debbie Brown saying she has an emergency dentist appointment.

168

Emergency dentist appointment?

169

No, I'm told she told her manager she had the flu.

170

I'm a trusting guy, but, uh, I just wish Debbie Brown had been there.

171

We'd have caught this.

172

Maybe you'd like to sign it.

173

Maybe throw a couple of bucks in there for it.

174

She's got some children.

175

I feel terrible about Debbie Brown.

176

She got fired because of Dwight.

177

So I thought I'd pass around a goodbye card.

178

Maybe everyone could put in a couple of bucks to help her through these difficult times.

179

Why do bad things always happen to the good people?

180

It's tragic.

181

It's just tragic.

182

Look at where you're going to be doing the cartwheel.

183

So look where you're going to be placing your hand.

184

So pick a spot.

185

You ready to do this?

186

Yes, sir.

187

You know what?

188

I'm gonna stay here as long as it takes.

189

I really appreciate it.

190

I'm gonna spot you.

191

I'll spot you!

192

You don't.

193

Go.

194

I did it!

195

You did?

196

The perfect cartwheel.

197

Okay, good.

198

I'm in a rush.

199

That's all I had to do all year.

200

Congratulations.

201

All right.

202

Well, all right.

203

See you tomorrow.

204

No. I cannot believe a pipe burst and left that there.

205

There's no burst pipe.

206

How do you know that?

207

What is it, then?

208

Hey, guys.

209

Somebody making soup?

210

It's a real shame about Ed, huh?

211

Yeah.

212

Must really have you thinking. About what?

213

The older you get, the bigger the chance is you're gonna die.

214

You knew that.

215

Ed was decapitated.

216

What?

217

Really?

218

He was drunk as a skunk.

219

He was flying down Route 6.

220

slides under an 18-wheeler pop, it snaps right off.

221

Oh, my God.

222

That is the way to go.

223

Instant death.

224

Very smart.

225

You know, a human can go on living for several hours after being decapitated.

226

You're thinking of a chicken.

227

What did I say?

228

Someone complained that the men's room is whites only.

229

Stanley, you know that's not true.

230

I didn't say that.

231

And why is there a picture of a white man on the door?

232

Jim.

233

I hate devil's food.

234

Well, I think Meredith was...

235

Screw it, Meredith.

236

I don't think it's fair to let someone else pick the cake on my birthday.

237

Everybody's birthday.

238

Today is actually my birthday, and I want to pick the cake.

239

What do you want?

240

I want pie.

241

I want peach pie.

242

You want birthday pie?

243

I want a nice cobbler.

244

Well, I'm gonna talk to Angela, and we're gonna see what we can do about a pie.

245

I don't care who you talk to.

246

Just make it happen.

247

It'll be Angela.

248

You tell her it's for Creed.

249

She'll know what that means.

250

And I figured this out.

251

Jimmy had his birthday three weeks ago, so he doesn't care.

252

I think the power went to his head.

253

Yeah, I think.

254

Hey, Jim.

255

Hey, guys.

256

What are we talking about?

257

Nothing.

258

Nothing going on.

259

We're talking about nothing.

260

Come on, gang.

261

Happy birthday to you.

262

Happy birthday to you.

263

Happy birthday, dear Creed.

264

Happy birthday to you!

265

Yeah!

266

Alright, skip around the room.

267

Skip around the room.

268

We won't...

269

Okay, alright.

270

Hey, Creed.

271

Hey, it's up, what are you guys up to?

272

Ah, hello.

273

You're the man, buddy.

274

I run a small fake ID company for my car with a laminated machine that I swiped from the sheriff's station.

275

How's it going?

276

Oh, my replacement bones have been acting up today, but...

277

Hey, cop-a-lean.

278

Oh.

279

So, I am collecting $3 from everybody for Kelly's party.

280

I'd like to contribute.

281

Oh, great.

282

There you go.

283

Bo-body, Bo-body.

284

What does the first B stand for?

285

What are we doing?

286

We're making acronyms.

287

Okay.

288

What does the first B stand for?

289

Um...

290

Business.

291

I like it!

292

Business.

293

Good, Kevin.

294

All right.

295

The O.

296

We need a new manager.

297

Andrea's the, uh, office bitch.

298

You'll get used to her.

299

Hmm.

300

Creed.

301

Yo.

302

Is this his new chair?

303

No, he hasn't picked one yet.

304

God.

305

When Pam gets Michael's old chair, I get Pam's old chair.

306

Then I'll have two chairs.

307

Only one to go.

308

I could get a fish for a five cent worm.

309

Oh, you're paying way too much for worms, man.

310

Who's your worm guy?

311

Oh, I steal things all the time.

312

It's just something I do.

313

I stopped carrying a long time ago.

314

You should see how many supplies I've taken from this place.

315

Honestly, I love stealing things.

316

Oh, I think you're supposed to put a toy in the box, Greg.

317

And a happy holiday to you.

318

We could fire Meredith.

319

That's a big cost.

320

I'm not firing anyone.

321

Creed might be living here.

322

We could charge him rent.

323

What?

324

Four nights a week, I stay here and live in this office.

325

Everything is right here.

326

It's easy to get to.

327

I sleep under my desk, and then three nights, I stay at my place in Toronto.

328

They don't know about this job up there.

329

It's a welfare state.

330

Creed's head of quality assurance.

331

So he'd definitely be wrapped up in this.

332

So there I am, minding my own business.

333

And Darnell offers me three bucks.

334

All I gotta do is walk by Andy and go like this.

335

Darnell's a chump.

336

I would've done it for anything.

337

I've done a lot more for a lot less.

338

Wait!

339

Hold the button!

340

Hold the button!

341

Hold the button.

342

Hold on!

343

Hold on, Dwight!

344

Hold on!

345

In the parking lot today, there was a circus.

346

Copier did tricks on the high wire.

347

A lady tried to give away a baby that looked like a cat.

348

There was a Dwight impersonator and a Jim impersonator.

349

A strong man crushed a turtle.

350

I laughed, and I cried.

351

Not bad for a day in the life of a dog food company.

352

You know what?

353

Don't even worry about it.

354

Everyone was so drunk that no one even remembers what you said.

355

I remember.

356

I blogged the whole thing www.creedthoughts.gov www backslash creedthoughts.

357

Check it out.

358

Last year, Creed asked me how to set up a blog.

359

Wanting to protect the world from being exposed to Creed's brain, I opened up a Word document on his computer and put an address at the top.

360

I've read some of it.

361

Even for the Internet, it's.. pretty shocking.

362

Listen up.

363

It has come to my attention

364

that only five of you have signed up to give blood and Creed has signed up twice.

365

That's to receive.

366

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

367

You have more fun as a follower, but you make more money as a leader.

368

Why do you tell Stanley that I have asthma?

369

Because I don't.

370

If it gets out, they won't let me scuba.

371

If I can't scuba, then what's this all been about?

372

What am I working toward?

373

I'm not offended by homosexuality.

374

In the 60s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain.

375

And it's possible a man slipped in.

376

There would be no way of knowing.

377

I want to set you up with my daughter.

378

Oh, I'm engaged to Pam.

379

I thought you were gay.

380

Then why would you want to set me up with your daughter?

381

I don't know.

382

You don't know that.

383

Some people can't help losing sexuality.

384

You ever notice you can only lose two things?

385

Sexuality and pus.

386

Man, I tell you.

387

Guys, stop everything.

388

I'm about to ask out this girl, and I'm completely panicking.

389

Oh, my desk is over there.

390

This gal, she's really into you?

391

Yeah, yeah.

392

I mean, I've seen her like three times today, and we love all the same music, and whenever I walk into her room, she totally looks up.

393

I say no more. So?

394

This is how I got squeaky from.

395

No small talk.

396

Just show her who's the boss.

397

Just go right in and kiss her.

398

Okay, it sounds risky.

399

Have I ever steered you wrong, Jim?

400

Wait, what?

401

Uh, oh.

402

Find out what language this is.

403

Yes, or botch, got it.

404

What are you doing in here?

405

This is the woman's room.

406

You're in here.

407

I pay for that privilege.

408

Okay.

409

I'm a pretty normal guy.

410

I do one weird thing.

411

I like to go in the women's room for number two.

412

I've been caught several times, and I have paid dearly.

413

The Taliban in Afghanistan.

414

The Taliban is the worst.

415

Great heroin, though.

416

Nobody steals from Creed Bratton and gets away with it.

417

The last person to do this disappeared.

418

His name?

419

Creed Bratton.

420

Um, I was walking to the building, and this man asked me for directions, and he was holding a map,

421

And when I walked over, he had it out on the map.

422

Phyllis, you're a married woman.

423

The guy was just hanging brain.

424

I mean, what's all the fuss?

425

If that's flashing, then lock me up.

426

No, you're all good.

427

Great.

428

Whoa.

429

Awesome.

430

Let's put a smile on that face.

431

Damn it, Creed.

432

I've been up since 4.

433

I didn't realize that everybody here dresses up every year.

434

Me neither.

435

It's Halloween.

436

That is really, really good timing.

437

Sorry, I'm late, boss.

438

What's going on?

439

Sir, there has been a murder, and you are a suspect.

440

Okay.

441

Hang on just a sec.

442

Let me settle in, and I'll be right back.

443

I'll be right back.

444

Very good.

445

Very good.

446

Now, no one was there in the wine cellar.

447

Let's do this.

448

Thank you.

Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: creed /kɹid/, decapitated /dɪˈkæpɪteɪtəd/, memorize /ˈmɛm.əˌɹaɪ̯z/, offend /əˈfɛnd/, expose /ɪkˈspoʊz/
/æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: bankruptcy /ˈbæŋkˌɹʌp(t).si/, decapitated /dɪˈkæpɪteɪtəd/, tragic /ˈtɹæd͡ʒɪk/, acronym /ˈækɹənɪm/, backslash /ˈbækˌslæʃ/
/g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: organ /ˈɔːɡən/, goodbye /ɡʊdˈbaɪ/

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
