14. In the season 6 episode "Scott's Tots", what does Michael give the children in exchange for not being able to supply them with college funds?

This, however, only makes things worse as the children originally thought that they were being given laptops after seeing the packaging.

Answer: He plays paintball with himIn spite of always being loyal to Michael, Dwight felt a betrayal as Michael did not recommend him to be the successor to Michael's job.
