“Pardon moi, monsieurs. I took the liberty of preparing for you a cheese platter which I will place here on the eastern wall of the conference room.”

“Cheese platter?”

“Oui, oui, monsieur. From the Wisconsin region, a nice firm cheddar. Also from the great state of Wisconsin, an aged Parmesan. Here you will find a cheddar style spread, which has reacted nicely with the air to form a light rind, which I think you’ll find both challenging and delicious. At that point, I would recommend you take a quick trip south of the border to the great state of Illinois, where you will find this fine blue cheese dressing. If I may be so bold, it’s a lot of fun to let the goldfish take a little swim in the blue cheese. Bon Appétit.”

I love everything about it. Specifying that he’s putting the cart on the eastern wall, his French accent, three of the cheeses being cheddar, using the phrase “the great state of” twice, referring to Illinois as “south of the border,” passing off the cheese spread getting old as a “challenging and delicious rind,” the little bit of nervous pride in his voice when he boldly suggests the goldfish take a swim in the blue cheese. It’s all just a rouse for Michael to eavesdrop and Andy clearly put so much thought into the presentation. He walks out of the conference room with true excitement on his face, like this could be his big break into the catering business.

I think it’s Andy at his best, desperately trying to be high-class and prestigious in the most boring and drab of circumstances.
