It would be too fast just to see Pam driving from Roy's over to Jim's. I'd like to just see Roy kissin' on someone else or arguing about Pam's art career. Or Pam finally wakes up to her true feelings, and knocks on Jim's door, kiss, door closes, end of scene.

There are so many good ways to end this relationship.
*Pam happens to see Roy at his bachelor party leaving with a girl...and goes to Jim's house...and well you know.
*Pam postpones the wedding and Roy realizes since casino night Pam hasn't been the same (he hasn't gotten laid since well before then so what's the point?)He gets Katy's number.
*Pam mom shows up the day after the kiss to speak to her daughter and evenually to jim.
*(i can't imagine this one it is way too overdone..but it would set my heart a flutter) Jim stops her right before the wedding in the bridal prep room
*kelly goes into the bridal prep room and tells pam "oh my god jim is at scranton mercy hospital" pam calls the hospital to find out james halpert is in critical care. "Tell Roy I'm sorry" and dashes off crying to the hospital. Parks in a towaway zone and runs through the hospital after getting directions to critical care...off the elevator and smack into Jim. He is shocked to see her standing in front of him in her wedding dress. "Hey." In his quiet understated way. She is still crying, biting her lip. "What are you doing here? Aren't you susposed to be somewhere else?" Pam stumbles but is so happy he is standing in front of her. "I, um, you were in the hospital." Sob "Critical care." Jim realizes what has happened. "My dad had a heart attack. He should be fine though." Pam wiping away her tears. "Oh." She is beginning to realize she is standing in her wedding dress in front of Jim instead of Roy. Jim needs to understand because searching her eyes he is afraid of misreading her. "Why are you here Pam?" Pam smiles "You are my best friend." As if that statement covers it all. Jim brushes away her tears and looks at her with such love. He pushes. He has the right to because his best friend left her wedding for him.
"And?" Jim asks quietly. Pam blushes "And I love you. I can't marry Roy...not after you kissed me." Hug & Kiss
Cut back to the church Kelly looks very pleased with herself after telling Roy. She looks at the camera with a grin "All in a day's work." (sorry i got carried away i guess this will be my next fanfiction story).
*Roy dumps Pam after Katy returns his call.
*Jim shows at work and takes her to the roof and pleads with her. (especially now that she kissed back he got some encouragement) He convinces her to postpone her wedding so they can figure this out.
*After the kiss they continue to kiss and well Pam feels guilty and breaks it off with roy.
ARGH who knows!

It doesn't really need to be convoluted. Pam realizes she is in love with Jim. Pam acts like a mature woman and accepts the responsibility of telling Roy. Pam tells Roy and they amicably end the relationship. Pam goes to Jim and tells him that she is now free to explore a relationship with him.

There now, what was so hard about that? Grown-ups do stuff like this all the time.

So in the hospital scenario Jim is a "James Jr." They're all cute, some are pushing it a bit, but still cute. I honestly don't think they'll show the break-up. I think the season will open in present time. If Jim's in Stamford (won't be for long), Pam answers the phone and when she realizes is Jim calling her, she smiles starts giggling. They chat for a minute or two (somewhat playfully, you know, she says something like, "don't start that")then she says she has to go (so they don't get caught) says, "I love you. (pause) Bye." Then she looks up, sees the camera's watching her, she stops smiling and just says, "What? I'm not doing anything."

Michael already knows Jim's secret and advised him on the Booze Cruise to "never, EVER give up." So after Carole left Casino Night, Michael was walking out to the parking lot and spotted Jim and Pam, who didn't notice him off behind some bushes. He heard Jim tell Pam he was in love with her, and did a "YES!" pull-down with his fist. When Pam stammered her response, Michael was aghast. Jim walked away into the building, and a couple minutes later Pam went up to the office to call her mom. Michael steathily followed her (all that training as agent Michael Scarn), hoping to give her some advice, but dropped back when he saw she was on the phone. He hears someone approaching and ducks into a dark alcove outside the office. Jim nears the doorway and hears Pam inside in a one-way conversation; he hears enough to put together what he thinks is two and two, screws up his courage, and shuffles in. Michael sneaks over to the doorway just far enough to hear Pam say, "Listen, Jim..." and witnesses The Kiss. He tip-toes away doing a two-fisted pull-down and mouths a silent "YES!"

The next morning, Michael arrives at the office early, even before Dwight, and goes down to the warehouse to talk to Roy. Roy says it must have been a hell of a Casino Night because he heard Pam come in at 5:00am and she was out cold as soon as her head hit the pillow. "I wouldn't expect to see her here on time if at all today," he tells Michael. "Yeah, about that," Michael starts. He goes on to explain to Roy in as sensitive a way as he can that Jim and Pam have had feelings for each other for quite some time and that the engagement announcement was really bad timing. He convinces Roy that Pam was never going to really be happy without Jim and that a Pam-Roy marriage, if it took place, was doomed from the start. After Roy gets over his initial anger and disillusionment, he confides that he had his suspicions about the two of them which is why he pushed himself to announce the engagement in the first place, to [censored] it in the bud. He tells Michael it's over and that he will break it off with Pam, but he doesn't think he can stand to see Pam with Jim at work every day. Michael says he can solve that problem and offers to have Roy transferred to the Buffalo branch, which Roy thinks is a great idea because he has family there.

Pam eventually wakes up, her head swimming with all the things she and Jim talked about into the wee hours and all the emotions they released together. She looks around the bedroom and considers where her life is going. She picks up the phone and calls her mother. "Have you decided what you're going to do?" her mother asks. "Mom, I need a place to stay for a while." "Well, I guess that answers that. What are you going to tell Roy?" "I don't know yet, Mom, I'll have to figure it out. I just know it's over and I don't want to be here when he comes home." She ends the conversation and packs her essentials, during which she runs likely scenarios in her head of the revelation discussion. As none of them seem to turn out successfully, she decides to write a farewell letter, which she leaves on the kitchen counter with her apartment key.

Roy arrives home after practicing his break-up speech only to find nobody there. He sees the key and the letter. After reading it, he sniffs, grabs a beer and turns on the TV. "Well, that was easier than I expected," he thinks as he settles back into his recliner and takes a heavy slug off the bottle. "Bitch."

We are so insane... These are great conundrums... all of these could work in the show...

I love it. The filter censors where I wrote what would rhyme with "blip it in the bud" but lets "bitch" through.

Here, filter, have fun with this: "Hey, anyone catch the last season of [censored]/Tuck?"

catch 22

Blip it in the bud!!! Too funny. Even Barney Fife got away with that back in 1963!!!!!

Pam is not going to leave Roy a note. And he will walk around with his hand in a cast after punching a wall.

Pam's mom lives an hour away, and with gas prices I can't see her commuting on a receptionist's salary. So maybe she could stay with Angela (who would probably take in a RECOVERING hussy), but Angela does not wany anyone to find out she was Birkenstocking with Dwight. (Birkenstocking - I think I just invented a new word for shtupping!)

I'm sure Phyllis would take her in. Or she could, dare I say it, get her own place, twirl around and throw her hat into the air. She's gonna make it after all.

"Or she could, dare I say it, get her own place, twirl around and throw her hat into the air. She's gonna make it after all"

Yes... I imagine roy wouldn't be too crushed about Pam, no he can go shoot the bird with KAty

Shtupping made it past the filter! HOORAY!

What's up with that? The filters won't let you say rhymes with blip but you can say "bitch"? How does that make sense? I wonder what else we could get away with. (Folds hands like Mr. Burns) LOL

Well, let's ask Smithers:
"...Jack Frost nipping at your nose."

Gretl: But it doesn't make any sense!
Maria: I know. So we put in other letters; one letter for each one we take out. Like this:

Nimple
Fluck
Montherflucker
Schit
Cox (actually someone on Scrubs so they HAVE to allow it)
Ashhole

This is terrible, all I really wanted to write before was "[censored] it in the bud," and now the NBC censors are encouraging me to be naughty! This must be how the writers felt on Will and Grace!!!

LOL LOL LOL Oh my gosh I love it! This post really took and interesting turn.

Just like the Office

great words, i might incorporate them into my everyday life...im sure my 16 year old peers wont think it as funny as i do...

Have you laid "flonkerton" on them yet?

Do they know where the Afganastanannies live?

I'm 15 and no one in my relative age group likes the office, it's great when you find someone your own age to enjoy the office...

im 13 and i forced my friend to buy the 1st season and watch it... he likes it, but he'd rather watch basketball than that 4 episode marathon so..
Not great. We'll get 'em next year.
(Michael Gary Scott- Christmas Party)

nice...

I know what you mean. I'm 19 and most of my friends who've seen it don't get it. They're so used to laugh-tracks and set-up/punch line dialoges. One of the things I love most about this show is that it's not like that. It's so real. We all relate to these characters one way or another. Steve Carell was right when he said "It's a slice of life show." Plus, the humor is more subtle and you REALLY have to pay attention to get it. This show ROCKS!!

im definitly in the wrong generation. im a freshman in hs and spen all my time on The Office and Bruce Springsteen message boards. most people have an inner child, i think i have an inner middle-aged man

Inner middle-aged man. That was about the thickness of a human hair away from a "That's what SHE said." Made me think of Mini-me in the last AP movie: "You look like you have a little midget in you. Do you? Would you like one?"

You're doing fine. I was old before my time too, but now I run the universe, so it all worked out. Did I say 'run'? I meant 'ruin.'
