 During the filming of many scenes in the episode , the cast and crew member kept breaking character and laughing . Jenna Fischer recalls that she had to film the scene where Ryan reveals that he is working on emergency contacts " about 20 times " . In addition , Fischer noted that her and John Krasinski kept laughing " about a million times " during the kitchen confrontation between Michael and Dwight . During the dojo scenes , cinematographer Randall Einhorn and Krall " lost it " when Michael pinned down Dwight and began to spit on him . In fact , shots of Krall ( and several of the cast ) laughing made it into the closing scene of the episode .
