  Episode Summary  
Dwight finds half of a joint in the parking lot, and since he's a volunteer sheriff, he takes it upon himself to seek out the pot-smoking culprit. As he investigates, a situation arises that forces Michael to borrow something very personal from Dwight. Meanwhile, Pam puts a jinx on Jim, and he cannot speak.

  Episode Notes  
Michael incorrectly spelled "heroin" as "heroine" on his chart of illegal substances.
 
This is the start of a series of "extended" episodes.
 
If you look hard at the end of the episode, there's a small lettering board that has fake company names for the building. Some are blocked by Dwight and Michael, but some are readable:

Woods & Grammeret
Ruben's E.L.E.C. Cont.
W.B. Jones Heating & Air
Dunder Mifflin Inc.
Available $1400 (free office)

  Episode Quotes  
Michael: Since you did such a good job with the investigation, I decided to pull a few strings, call in a few favors, and I've decided to make you official security supervisor of the branch.
Dwight: Really?
Michael: Yes, sir.
Dwight: That fantastic because I've always felt that the security here sucked.
 
Pam: Wow! He really pulled out the big guns! Fake crying? I didn't expect that!
 
Michael: Look at the person to the left of you. Now look at the person to your right. One of those people will be dead from drug use at some point in their lives.
 
Dwight: I like the people I work with generally, with four exceptions. But someone committed a crime, and I did not become a Lackawanna County Volunteer Sheriff's Deputy to make friends. And by the way, I haven't.
 
Pam: Jim is not allowed to talk until he buys me a Coke. Those are the rules of Jinx and they're unflinchingly rigid.
 
Dwight: Hi Linda. Dwight Schrute, Assistant Regional Manager. You might remember testing my urine a few years back, when I was applying to be a volunteer sheriff’s deputy.
Linda: (shakes her head no) We test a lot of urine.
Dwight: Mine was green.
Linda: Oh, right. How are you?
Dwight: I’m all better.
 
  Episode Goofs  
It is unlikely that Michael would have been able to use Dwight's urine. When a person is getting tested they aren't allowed to take anything in with them. Many times the nurse doing the test is in the same room to prevent cheating.
 
  Cultural References  
Michael: Dude, where’s my office? I totally lost it! Cause I was half-baked, smoking doobies. Doobie brothers, I was smoking doobies with my brothers. Peace out, Seacrest.

Michael makes reference to the 70s band The Doobie Brothers, the films, Dude, Where's My Car? and Half Baked, and American Idol host, Ryan Seacrest.
 
Michael: Two nights ago, I went to an Alicia Keys concert at the Montage Mountain Performing Arts Center.

Alicia Keys is a singer/songwriter best known for her hit, "Fallin'."
 
Jim: Wow, what a terrible day to not be able to talk. Dwight was literally carrying around his own urine, and dressed like one of The Village People.

The Village People was a popular band in the 1970s that sang and danced in costume. One of them dressed as a police officer, which is why Dwight's uniform reminded Jim of the band. They were known for their hits, "Y.M.C.A." and "Macho Man."
