Added DiffLines:

Episode 4 of the second series of ''Series/TheOfficeUK''. Tim and Rachel are now an item, to the ire of Dawn and Gareth, while David is preparing for his motivational speech.

!!Tropes:
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Simon's riposte to Tim's snarky comments during his conversation with Gareth.
-->Gone off Dawn now have you?
* ConspiracyTheorist: Simon thinks Creator/BruceLee [[DeathFakedForYou faked his own death]] so he could go undercover and break up the Triads. [[SuperGullible Gareth]] believes him but Tim is skeptical:
-->'''Tim:''' Yeah, because if you wanted to send someone undercover, you'd want the world's most famous Chinese film star!
* CringeComedy: David's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXytRC0k-K8 "motivational" speech]].
* GreenEyedMonster: Gareth and Dawn are both clearly envious of Tim and Rachel's relationship.
* InsistentTerminology: Bruce Lee only fought Creator/ChuckNorris in '''''[[Film/WayOfTheDragon Way]]''''' ''[[Film/WayOfTheDragon of the Dragon]]'', and NOT '''''[[Film/EnterTheDragon Enter]]''''' ''[[Film/EnterTheDragon the Dragon]]''.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: David claims that "names will never hurt me" and to prove it he invites Gareth to insult him. Gareth obliges and as David CantTakeCriticism, he immediately becomes defensive.
* OfficeRomance: Tim and Rachel.
* OneShotCharacter: Simon the IT guy makes his only appearance in the series.
* ShoutOut:
** David is known as [[ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} Bluto]] and [[Literature/TheWindInTheWillows Mr Toad]] among the office staff.
** Gareth and Simon's conversation about kung-fu movies, Tim snarks "those cats were fast as lightning", a line from Carl Douglas' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it3E6vtExSE Kung-fu fighting]]".
* TallTale: Simon's far-fetched stories about his go-karting and speedway experiences are almost certainly BlatantLies.
