It is Michael's birthday and he begins making special demands of everybody in the office, and he is met with a chilly reception.

In an effort to help, Jim and Pam sneak out of the office to buy Kevin an assortment of goodies to try and make him feel better.

Trivia

When Michael heard that the test result of Kevin is negative, he reacts like he's devastated. Because he thinks 'negative' is bad. Same thing happens to George Costanza from another TV series Seinfeld, in the episode 'The Pilot'.

Goofs

Kelly mentions that there was a lifeguard with skin cancer on Grey's Anatomy. In reality Grey's Anatomy never had a story line like that.

Quotes

Michael Scott: Hey Pam, all this stuff with Kevin, um, it's pretty scary. And I'm thinking, uh, the next time you're in the shower, you should check yourself out. You know, give yourself an exam.
[Pointing towards Pam's breasts]
Michael Scott: Those things are like ticking time bags.
