For Ricky Gervais/Office Fans

Watch it first and see if you could guess what they were saying!

This is a rough translation of what they said (copied from the internet):

Michael calls himself the funniest boss in all of Japan (what's written on his cup). Pam says "Hello, thanks for calling Dunder Mifflin. This is Pam." After Jim pulls the stapler in the jello incident, Michael comes out and asks what's going on and then everyone just bows and says sorry over and over. Then Regis Philbin does a commerical for Princess tampons. Michael says "I'm your regional manager," then Dwight calls himself the assistant regional manager and Michael corrects him by saying "assistant to the regional manager," and then asks why he's even there. Then they do the "radio calistenics" (its a radio program that is broadcast every morning and many Japanese bosses or someone else delegated will lead everyone in listening to the program and doing the exercises.) Then in the talking head with Pam, she refers to Michael-san and says that he is worrying over everyone's health. Then Michael hurts himself and tells Dwight "I'm fine." Michael is then reflecting saying "Today was good. We did good work. Do you think so?" Then holds up his bobble head saying "hai hai hai" (yes yes yes) in agreement. Then Michael is singing karaoke (very popular to do with your work fellows) and Dwight says kanpai (cheers) and hands Michael what I presume is sake (rice alcohol). Then the end words I think translate to "After all that's how it was."
