Added DiffLines:
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The point of improvisational theater is to play along (ie. ''improvise'') with what the other players are doing. Instead, Michael ignores what everyone else is doing and saying and just points a gun at them (believing it to be "the most exciting thing that can happen").
Added DiffLines:
* ExactWords: In one of the improv scenes, Michael plays "Agent Michael Scarn, FBI" and points a gun at someone. In another, he plays "Agent Michael ''Scoon'', FBI" and points a gun at someone. It's implied this is to get around the instructor telling him, off-camera, "no more Michael Scarn".
