The Office Provides a Bit of Shakespearean Vocabulary

"The Chump." By Greg Daniels and Aaron Shure. Perf. Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Ed. Helms, and Mindy Kaling. Dir. Randall Einhorn. The Office. Season 6, episode 25. NBC. 13 
May 2010. DVD. Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, 2018.
