00:02

Let's put a smile on that face.

00:04

It's Halloween. That is really,

00:07

really good timing.

00:09

This year I decided to really get into the

00:10

spirit of Halloween.

00:13

Ah, no.

00:20

It may have been the costliest decision I've

00:22

ever made. My greased up head went into the

00:26

pumpkin. No problem.

00:27

But it won't budge.

00:28

I can't get it out.

00:31

Try again. I mean, I could try destroying the

00:34

pumpkin. No, no, no.

00:35

But as Jim and I discovered.

00:38

No.

00:39

Any blow to the pumpkin itself could prove

00:42

fatal to me. At first,

00:44

I drove myself crazy thinking about the

00:46

things I should have done differently. I

00:48

never should have played that joke on Aaron.

00:50

Never should have hollowed out this damn

00:52

pumpkin in the first place.

00:54

But then I realized I was being silly.

00:57

I mean, the pumpkin should rot off of my head

01:00

in a month or two, Right.

01:03

Wow. You guys look amazing.

01:05

Stanley, I thought you hated Halloween. Shh.

01:07

He wears it so he can sleep at his desk.

01:10

Who are you?

01:11

Uh, I'm Carrie Bradshaw from sex and the

01:12

city.

01:13

I like your shoes.

01:14

Thank you. Will you help walk me to the fax

01:17

machine? Sure.

01:18

I got her, I got her. I can help you.

01:21

You look amazing.

01:22

Inappropriate. Thank you.

01:24

Who are you? Larry king?

01:26

Gordon Gekko.

01:27

Oh. From the insurance commercials.

01:30

Yeah.

01:35

Whoa! Awesome.

01:37

Let's put a smile on that face.

01:41

Damn it! Creed.

01:43

I've been up since four.

01:49

Meow.

01:51

Sweets. Doom. Dude, are you supposed to be

01:55

Dave? Cool.

01:59

You are a cat.

02:04

We were looking for kitten.

02:12

One second, Jim Halpert.

02:15

Hey.

02:15

Hey. New York. Happy Halloween.

02:18

Thanks.

02:18

My costume's getting a lot of attention.

02:22

So, apparently no one dresses up for

02:24

Halloween here. I wish I'd known that before

02:27

I used greasepaint for my mustache.
