Well, we got this letter from Melissa Kay.

Melissa says, And one of my absolute favorite scenes from the whole show is at 10 minutes and 53 seconds when Michael is talking about his philosophy to David Wallace and says,

Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone for any reason.

It goes on and on with this line.

I love this line so much, and it completely captures the moment when you're asked a question you don't know the answer to, and you have to make it up as you go.

Was all of that improvised or was it fully scripted?

Thanks, Melissa.

Okay, so Melissa, we talked about this in our breakdown, how Steve improvised a lot of this, but we didn't play it.

And I pulled a clip from the Superfan version because there is an extra joke at the top and it really cracked us up.

Let's hear it.

I mean, it's something he lives by and always will.

For any reason.

For any reason.

So not only was this our fan favorite moment of the episode, we also got a letter that this scene is educational.

Listen to this.

Angela B. wrote in and said, more of a comment for this episode.

I taught English 101 at a university which focused on college writing.

Every semester, whenever I did a lesson on needing to have a purpose for writing, I would show the clip from this episode where Michael starts to answer David Wallace's question and later says that he doesn't always know where his sentences are going to go.

It's a great example about how if you don't know what the point of your argument or statement is, you'll end up with meandering thoughts.

That's so wonderful.
