Dwight awkwardly tries to befriend Ryan.
Michael and Dwight try to develop the list of ten pieces of business advice he promised to give Ryan. Several brief talking head interviews with Dwight, in which he confirms his position as Number Two behind Michael, admits to writing a book about Michael until Michael made him stop, and considers Michael's new friendship with Ryan. THE OFFICE FIRE DRILL WINDOWS
He then attempts to look out a window to see this, until realising there are no windows in the office.
Jim sees a weather report of "70 and clear" on Pam's computer screen and is surprised when she tells him that is the current weather in Scranton. The Season Two DVD contains a number of deleted scenes from this episode. Michael promises Ryan, "I'll give you the rest of the ten tomorrow." With the fire out, everybody heads back inside. Katy arrives for lunch and joins the DVD game. Dwight sings a memorable song about Ryan, based on the song "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel. Dwight and Michael proceed to mock Ryan and dub him The Fire Guy. Michael is worried for Dwight when he emerges, coughing, from the building and reveals that the fire was started by Ryan, who left a cheese pita in the toaster-oven set to "oven" instead of "toaster". Michael asks Ryan to call his cell phone to help Dwight find it. The women of the office continue playing "Who would you do?" Meredith: "Jim." Phyllis: "Definitely Jim." Kelly: "Definitely, definitely Jim." Pam considers her response and says, "Oscar's kind of cute." She also mentions that Toby is cute and the others groan in disapproval, except for Meredith, who nods and smiles. Roy answers, "that tight-ass Christian chick." Jim jokingly chooses Kevin, and Michael says, "Well, I would definitely have sex with Ryan." When Michael mentions that he left his cell phone in the office, Dwight rushes back into the building to fetch it. Jim, Pam, Michael, Ryan and even Roy join the game of "Who would you do?". Pam suggests that Ryan would be impressed to learn that Dwight is a volunteer sheriff's deputy, and Jim tries to keep a straight face when he suggests that Dwight quit, "and then that would stick it to both of them." Dwight thanks them for their concern but asks to be left alone. 
Jim moves on to the next game, "Who would you do?", and Kevin instantly responds, "Pam." Jim and Pam excuse themselves from the game to talk to Dwight, who is moping in his car. Ryan becomes increasingly uncomfortable with Michael's friendliness. Dwight, still jealous of the attention Ryan is getting from Michael, attempts to bully the young employee but merely earns a scolding from Michael. In a talking head interview, Michael explains that he learned more about business from working at a fast-food restaurant than Ryan will ever learn in school. Michael invites Ryan to quiz him but doesn't even understand the first question. Michael learns that Ryan is going to business school at night. In a joint talking head interview, Jim and Pam mock Meredith's choices, although Pam admits that she too likes Legally Blonde.
Jim changes the topic from books to DVDs. At Dwight's turn, he misses the point of the exercise and asks for an axe and a hollowed-out book filled with survival gear. Once everyone is safely outside, Jim begins a game of "three books on a desert island". In a talking head interview, Ryan explains that he doesn't want to have a nickname or be known for anything at the office. The fire alarm sounds, and while Dwight and Angela both attempt to take charge of the evacuation, Michael pushes others out of the way in his escape out of the building. When Ryan expresses his interest in starting his own business someday, Michael takes it upon himself to teach Ryan the first of the ten rules of business. Michael gives Ryan a glowing checkpoint review. Pam seems both frazzled and a bit jealous at the same time after the documentary crews ask her about Jim and Katy's relationship. Pam transfers a call from Katy to Jim's desk and the two make lunch plans.
