#THE OFFICE SCRIPT MOVING ON SERIES#

While in character, he asks Erin out for a weekend date but becomes unsure if he really asked her out or if he just simply asked out her murder mystery character, 'Naughty Nelly.' He is worried that Erin only agreed because Naughty Nelly is a promiscuous character. Jim, however, believes that the entire exercise is pointless.ДЄndy decides he needs to make a move on Erin Hannon ( Ellie Kemper) before the day is out, as he may otherwise never see her again due to the possible impending closure of Dunder Mifflin. Thanks to Pam Halpert ( Jenna Fischer), Andy Bernard ( Ed Helms), and Phyllis Vance ( Phyllis Smith), the game becomes a hit, and everyone present starts to play along, except for Oscar Martinez ( Oscar Nunez), who tries to get updates on the situation from corporate, and Creed Bratton ( Creed Bratton), who shows up late to work and flees after being told he is a suspect in a murder. It is set in Savannah, Georgia, and everyone has to adopt a Southern accent.

In a moment of quick thinking, Michael pulls out a murder mystery party game called Belles, Bourbon, and Bullets and forces the rest of the staff to play along.
