Oh, I saw it and I totally freaked out at its perfection (and I was kind of angry that they didn't leave it in). THE FRIENDSHIP! THE TEARS! They belong together (which is good, because they're pretty much stuck with each other till the end of time).

I adore that deleted scene so much because it was just so very Dwight. He does this incredibly sweet and loving thing, is being a real friend, but then his practicality and unemotional nature sets in and ruins the entire gesture. But this scene is also very Michael. He's so used to taking advantage of Dwight that he is so incredibly flabbergasted that Dwight would make him pay, but at the same time he kind of expects it, because it's Dwight, and he instantly whips out the tears and uses the idea of friendship and bonding to manipulate Dwight. He knows that what Dwight wants more than anything is to be Michael's best friend, so he uses that to his advantage. This proves that Michael is aware of the depth of Dwight's love, but he only appreciates it when he can use that love to his advantage (or when it's missing, like in "The Return"). I just love that their touching moments are almost always ruined by their social ineptitude. &hearts

I agree with everything you just said. Completely. Even the "they belong together part"! Because as much as I glom onto Michael/Ryan, I would be BLIND AND DELUDED if I thought their relationship was meant to be.

I literally squeaked into my hands after seeing the clip. Michael's manipulative appeal to Dwight wanting to be his BFF was genius. I strongly believe Michael measures his relationship with Dwight by how many decibels of love Dwight exudes at all times, and when Michael perceives a drop in volume he knows exactly what to do get Dwight singing high tenor again. ;)

That... is utter brilliance. I am saving that. Not sure where I'll use it, but it's too brilliant to not save.

Hee, you flatter me. Kudos to Michael and Dwight's brilliant relationship, without which I would STILL sound like OH MY GODDDD NNGGGGGH RYAN CAN PASS OUT ON MICHAEL'S HOTEL BED ANYTIME.

How much you wanna bet that Michael and Dwight both climb into bed with him? THEY'LL TURN RYAN INTO A SANDWICH BOY! Bwahahahaha. (my icon is way too appropriate for this comment)

Congratulations, you just EXPLODED MY BRAIN.

That is so perfect. Oomph. I would claw over a field of burning coals to see Ryan's face upon waking.

[firthgal]

Ooo, you know what? Michael would climb into bed with Ryan, and then Dwight would start to, and Michael would look at him with a disgusted face and shoo him away, and Dwight would be hurt, and then when Michael falls asleep, Dwight sneaks into the bed with them, then both Michael and Ryan wake up disgruntled, and Michael just naturally assumes that Ryan is freaking out over being in the same bed with Dwight, but not with him. OMG!!! IT HAS TO HAPPEN THIS WAY! (and now my icon is way too inappropriate for this comment)

Dude.

Dude.

So when the show airs Thursday and the hotel scene plays out EXACTLY LIKE THIS (because it GODDAMN SHOULD. I ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES), I will hoot and holler and proclaim you the new head of what remains of Miss Cleo's Psychic Network, so you can send vibes in the general direction of The Office producers to let me have more adorable Dwight/Michael/Ryan scenes for like, ever and ever. (hahaha ASS BABIES WHAT.)
