The Office - Tim and Dawn

[NukeCorruption]

man, this is my favourite show on tv haha

[asianatic96]

UGH they are really nothing compared to jim and pam <3 I know America totally ripped off this show from the UK but personally I think the American version is better. Tim is just not as personable and charming as Jim and well Pam has more of a sincerity and sweetness about her while this girl just seems really annoying.

[nicmafia]

come on, we've all been there. thats what makes it all the more tragic. sometimes the greatest treasures in life are right under our noses but we dont open our eyes enough to see them. classic head over heart moment. experience has taught me to go with the heart every time and fuck the conseqences.

[argetlamgirl711]

Martin effing Freeman.... just when I think he can't get any better, he pulls off a performance like /that/. Wow.

My heart practically broke just there. I watched the US version before this and was thinking it would be a happy ending like in Casino Night where you heard everything Jim said to Pam and then they kissed... but this was just silence and beautiful acting and then that line.. oh gosh. Amazing and heartbreaking.

But seriously, who could say no to him? Like, really, Dawn? Really?

[Serena2009ification]

Behold our new Bilbo! Long may he reign!

[TheAdam159]

That's absolutely heartbreaking. That poor guy. What a well done scene :(

[ReigningNinya1]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!! WHO WOULD DO THIS?!! Who would say no to that???

This is so sad.

[donkylips9]

BILBO BAGGINS

[helendqueen]

this breaks my heart...british films and actors are generally better for me

[hyllaf]

what an actor

[mrm1291]

i prefer the us-version, to be quite honest. steve carell is just brilliant. but the uk version kicks ass, i dare say.

[gethomas]

British humour is agonizingly awkward and uncomfortable, while at the same time being sarcasticly subtle. A sitcom in a league of its own!!

[pishposh11]

pam's freakin hot

[SuperLilcat]

I think Dawn's pretty that's actually a bit mean

[rosieavfc82]

what did he actually say to her? and what was her reply?

[sonormatt]

Only those two know. I don't think they ever told anybody.

[robertspringthorpe]

He asked if she'd bought her bum bag yet... that's why he says "she said no by the way." If you remember she said she was going to buy one out there.

[crappyatthedisco]

The original and the best! The U.S office didn't have the same sense of realism for me, Of course they had to change it to suit an American audience who may not quite appreciate the thoroughly British style of the original..but still. Dawn and Tim are amazing. It actually gets on my nerves when people assume the U.S version is the original..for once an amazing British sitcom and people are say it's American! You have Friends and all them so just give us our dues for The Office please =)

[slidesgalore]

british humor is terrific... I think American audiences just don't get it sometimes... luv the dry humor!!!!

The US office is a little more contrived. Still hilarious..

[haprdgn]

I want to see the Quebec version.

[laminage]

If you want the Quebec version haprdgn, you can go to HMV and either buy it in person or Online but it's called Le Job.

[elizabethkillian]

Absolutely brilliant.

[LOLPATROLBBQSAUCE]

it makes sense, tim talking about the dice scenario, of being on a three and how i could easily be a six. but then again you might just roll a one.

[kayjay1269]

take it easy people. love the UK version. love the US version too. both awesome in their own ways. both gifts to you and me.

[lycaonpictus77]

Hmmm, I wish you could have seen their faces more clearly... no offense to anyone who disagrees, but I prefer the American version.

[guitarist0233]

I agree - I think I prefer the Jim/Pam relationship more.

[Calikola]

I loved this scene so much. So brilliant to do it without any sound.

I know some of you hate the American version, but a fun fact: the American version did an homage to this scene in the recent season finale. Pam and Jim are in an exam room at a hospital, and their mics are off. The scene where they find out they're going to have a baby is all silent. It was touching.

You might hate the American version, but I think it's nice the creators still put in nods to the original.

[LewyRawr]

I'm glad that you called it the 'origonal'. Most people think that the UK version is just a different version of the office. =]

[jmange]

This is one of the most perfectly constructed and executed moments in TV history.

[lonelygnome1]

poor tim. :<

[kempokarate12]

i just watched this episode!!!!!!! like legit!!! i looooove dawn and tim!! they're way better than jim and pam and i LOVE jim and pam!!!!

[RedOrDead31]

It's so awful, you watch him go like a lamb to the slaughter...

But he had to try!

I'm so glad they got together in the end and she dumped that muppet Lee.

[dorymcphee]

Who could say "no" to Tim?! =[

[davetherave22]

hilarious

[WillyB606]

American ones better

[Lovefool223]

you wish

[kempokarate12]

absolutely not! american's version is basically word for word the british versions in the first season

[tinkerbellchick332]

it is isn't it they are just all the same characters and storylines they just did more series and made the brent character more mental and just unrealistic

[lrgrjg]

hahahaha... that's hilarious..

[hyllaf]

this guy is one of the best actors ever in this programme. so brilliantly performed!!!1

[helendqueen]

I don't know. Usually I'm not romantic.

But this one is really beautifully done, so real and Martin Freeman is just awesome as Tim!

A love not reciprocated, it is heartbreaking for everybody

[waffle117]

This was AMAZINGLY done!! Absolutely beautiful!! This was one of the most heartbreaking scenes in any television show or movie! The silence and Tim's face at the end killed me!

[BabieshatetheBible]

hey..was this scene before or after they got together at the party.. me america.. no get to watchy all episodes... in the dark..

thanks

[kendrawhisp]

before

[kempokarate12]

before

[joestyle123]

why was that heartbreaking??

[argoninja2112]

perfect execution of the scene.

[kikifruity]

An amazing scene. We Americans totally screwed up when we didn't pay homage to this in any way.

Heartbreaking...

[sonormatt]

This is just pure genius.

Simply beautiful, heartbreaking, and so wonderful...

When he stands up, I just lost it.

And the dead silence... so powerful. So, so powerful.

[immisterkevin]

I know The Office (US) is a completely different show than the British now. Has been since season 2. But this is the one scene from the UK version that I want the US to pay homage too. It would be a great one.

[waffle117]

I agree! But, now that Jim and Pam are together, I'd rather them not break up! My heart wouldn't be able to take that!!

[54spiritedwill54]

I hate that feeling. ='[

[HypocriticalCake]

Mine too, mine too.

Tim is trying so hard to be brave and philosophical about it; you can see him trying to convince himself as he's saying. The moment when he stood up I nearly screamed--I love that he had to TRY one more time. Even after the debacle last time.

The dead silence was brilliant.

"She said 'no' by the way." Gutting.

[mybandrox123]

I'm sooo in love with the US Office but this scene is the single greatest Office moment EVER!

[jorgennilsen]

it is a scene from a party where tim and dawn is talking, and in the background there is a song playing, with the lyrics " not alone, so dont forget..." anyone know what song it is?

[rct220]

Bit late in the day - sorry! The title you are looking for is "I'm not in love" by 10cc.

[suckaface01]

omg i have never ever seen this..i have only seen the other office show..but watching this clip makes me wanna see it! its so sad!

[THEPRREDATOR]

NOOOO!

look for the "last ten minutes".Cheer yourself up.

[suckaface01]

ha i spent hours just watching videos on youtube on this show and i love it! it did cheer me up! i wanna get it on dvd!

[untitledmfc]

Martin Freeman's acting is absolutely brilliant but turning off the mic is the genius that makes this scene. It adds so much suspense and realistic nature too it. One of the stand-out moments of the best TV show ever made.

[shattermuse]

Aw. I haven't even seen more than clips of this, and I still want to give 'im a hug. Incredible acting on Freeman's part. That look on his face back at the desk is so... hug-worthy. :)

[ermistan]

I cry every time i think of what Tims going through.

if there is ONE man on the planet who deserves this woman... its TIM .

[DoctorDodge]

"Erm, she said no, by the way."

That particular line is so brilliant. It is not only heartbreaking, but in a way it is also funny just how real it feels. Brilliant.

[sleepingruby]

I agree, that line just kills me, and it's so perfectly delieverd. Matin Freeman does such an amazing job as Tim, particularly in that scene, he's totally sympathetic and believable.

[poops1]

what is wrong with tim to fall for that fat big headed hog dawn??

[FranBMan]

@poops1 She's not a hog, she's just realistic looking. Someone doesn't have to be unnatainably attractive, like most American TV stars, to be beautiful. And also, maybe he fell for her because he liked her personality. You shouldn't make such shallow comments, even on the internet.

[matalia69]

Tim was the typical office failure; smells of sweat and beer and stale socks. Like all losers living at home he was probaly gay and realy fancied garet.

[Unicysis]

Erm, I think you'll find that Tim was actually the decent character in there. Sexuality and smell doesn't even come into it.

[THEPRREDATOR]

Idiot

[Ravenya03]

I would kill to know what he said to her in there. However, this is part of the beauty of the Tim/Dawn relationship - that we aren't privy to their private moments (the same thing happens in the Christmas Special when they leave the party alone together). It's an interesting comparison to Pam/Jim in the American version when he actually *see* him tell Pam he's in love with her.

Not a good/bad comparison - just an interesting comparison.

[LylaRox]

They are my favorite TV couple! So much NATURAL chemistry! I was just rooting for them the whole time, and I just held my breath in this scene!!

[sonormatt]

One of the best moments on Television.

[Delphi333]

Absolutely fantastic...some of the best acting I've seen - on T.V. or in film!

[trublgrl]

DOING the RIGHT thing is so much easier than doing the right thing. Dawn had her commitments, her plans, her expectations of life with Lee. SO what if Tim was her true love?  Following that slim silver thread makes no sense compared to the hard truths of your life.... Except sometimes... Sometimes nothing else makes sense.

[teya18]

silly silly dawn!! finally she came to her senses in the end!

[mybandrox123]

This is the most heartbreaking moment in Office history! It was so dramatic and well acted. I feel like crying. Poor Tim!

[PedroxEsxMixHero]

this just happened to me recently, what tim went through. and when i watch it now, it brings a heavy lump in my throat...that one feeling is the worse.

[indiechick06]

martin freeman is just such a brilliant actor, he really is. some of his performances are so so powerful.

[parkman35]

I always felt bad for Tim. Dawn was always leading him on then.....BAM! Right in the kisser....that just ain't right.

[jackryan111]

great acting!

[Andy7207]

I think everyone hates that feeling =\

[blinkAsthenia182]

I hate that feeling. ='[

[colouredbubbles]

wow.. that was.. wow.

i love the bit that he turned off the mic.

[givemevideos]

:-(

[jamesbond01]

My heart was in my throat the first time I saw this. Then I cried like a two year old who had lost his binky.

[kk7872]

Me too, I remember this scene just killed me--it seemed more real than any other part of the series. I was really disappointed that "it" didn't happen by the finale...but then they added the christmas special and sealed the deal. I am happy now = )

[supahoopsa001]

that's what is so good about the office, that it is that close to reality, it is one of the best sitcoms ever made.

[blkmav]

brilliant

[Mloca7]

OUch poor guy! hes soo cute

[HCN8]

Ouch....

[reinette]

How did Martn Freeman not win any awards for hs performace? HOW?

[easilyjaded]

Aw. :(

[hear1tobyattack]

that is so painful
