Trivia

Michael is wearing a shirt and hat with the word "Sandals" on it. This is a reference to his trip to Jamaica in "Back from Vacation."

Goofs

When Michael is asking Pam to cook hot dogs on the beach, she's wearing a bra that covers her back while her bikini only circles her neck. Even though earlier Pam was glad to get sunscreen from Toby, obviously the actress knew at no point would she be seen without her shirt on.

Quotes

Michael Scott: Who's ahead in points?
Pam Beesly: I think they're even. At various times you gave Jim 10 points, Dwight a gold star, and Stanley a thumbs-up. And I don't really know how to compare those units.
Michael Scott: Well, check to see if there is a conversion chart in the notebook.
Pam Beesly: I really doubt it, Michael.
Michael Scott: Please, just check.
