Mitchell: Cam, I have to say, I feel kinda sexy. Well, squeaky sexy, but...

Cam: You know I'd be enjoying this more if Halloween wasn't such a tough day for me. But I want you to go to work and knock their socks off.

Mitchell: Well, my last job was at a pretty conservative law firm. No one there would ever dress up for Halloween. But apparently, at this new company...


Man 1: Right now, I'm thinking either vampire or werewolf. Every year it's harder to decide.

Mitchell: Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry. So people really come to work in costumes here?

Man 2: Are you kidding? It's epic, bro.

Man 1: Epic.


Mitchell: I'm already the new guy. I don't want to be the non-participation guy too.

Cam: Not on my watch.


Mitchell: No, no, no. I'm the only one.

Man 1: Have lunch? I'll let you wear my fangs.


Man 3: Look at those tools.

Man 4: Every year. What a couple of douches.

Mitchell: Oh, no.


Cam: Hello?

Mitchell: There are exactly three people in costume here a tool, a douche and me. And I don't have time to go home and change.

Cam: Calm down. Did you bring in the dry cleaning from last night?

Mitchell: re you really getting on me about the dry clean... Oh, I have suits in the trunk.

Cam: Look at that. Yesterday's lazy cures today's crazy.

Mitchell: Yes, thank you. Thank you. Okay.


Boss: Oh, there you are. I need you in the Lampkin meeting. Five minutes.

Mitchell: Somebody took my shirt, and all the rest of my clothes are all toilety. I'm screwed.

Cam: Why don't you just tell Charlie the truth?

Mitchell: I can't. I already messed up once today, and I can't risk it. I have another suit in my trunk but I can't get to the car without going through the office.
