Molly

Molly before helping to kill Tim.

Mrs. Gyllenhaal

**Molly** is one of the five original workers of the Office, and is possibly the most dangerous.

## Description

Molly has blonde hair and blue eyes, and is the seventh to tallest member of the Office. She is often seen wearing sweaters and coats so as to hide the multitudes of knives, daggers, and poisons that she constantly keeps on her person so that she may carry out an assassination at any point. Among these weapons fifteen daggers, a rifle twenty ninja stars, a cross bow, a long sword, a short sword, twenty pounds of arsenic, a tea set (to serve said arsenic), a suit of armor, two body guards, and a tank. This makes her effectively invincible, and is why she is the greatest assassin in the world.

## Personality

Molly is an incredibly bloodthirsty and judgmental person. She is intelligent and persistently aware of the situation, to the point where she occasionally serves as a leader in places where Martha falls short and often times giving people orders whenever she sees fit. Quick to analyze every situation, Molly is frequent to call people out. In Episode Three she is quick to call **Kate** out for not actually getting paid when Kate implies that the workers should be paid more for organizing the party. Molly is famous for her end of the day pep talks, where she reassures the workers for the work they did and often gets them excited and bloodthirsty for the next day. She takes great pride in her own killing abilities, and is visibly determined whenever she makes a decision to kill someone.

Molly is generally uninterested in personal romance, as seen in Episode One when **Peter** attempts to confess his love to her, but shows great interest in the love life of others as she persistently pressures Martha to kiss Doug. Though dangerous and often uninterested, Molly (like the others) can also be very sentimental and loving. In Episode Two she excitedly naps with her fellow workers, and usually shows emotion when saying goodbye at the end of the work day. She literally cries (Briton is SUCH a great actor omg) as she leaves for last time in the Finale, and always shows a deep admiration for her co-workers when giving her end of the day speeches.

## Abilities

As an assassin, Molly is skilled at combat and murder. Over the course of the series, Molly kills the most people (three), more than any of members of the Office. Her skills in combat are put on display in Episode Three when she fights Martha (though the fight is "staged") and quickly defeats her. Her other abilities lie in her intelligence and ability to manipulation, which she shows off throughout the entire series. Molly is also a skilled dancer, as we see primarily in Episode Five when she dances to **Bach's** sad music. Molly's only major shortcoming is magic, as she sadly has very little.

## Biography

### Before *The Office Life*

Prior to going to work at the Office, Molly was born and raised at Assassins Academy. There she was rigorously trained in the art of killing- anytime, anywhere. Molly quickly rose through the ranking of the children at the academy, and showed great promises of being one of the best students the school had ever seen. She perfectly carried out many assassinations, until one day she was tasked with assassinating actor/singer/producer/pretty boy Jake Gyllenhaal because his performance in *Brokeback Mountain* was just TOO good. However, the moment Molly laid eyes upon him, she immediately fell in love with him and refused to carry out her mission. She left the academy to escape punishment and went into hiding before getting a job at the Office.

### During *The Office Life*

#### *Episode One*

Molly is the third person to enter the Office and the fourth to be introduced. She enters after Peter, as she does episode, taps her hand above the outlet, and takes a sip of her coffee. A s the workers say the pledge of allegiance at the beginning of the day, Molly creates her own version of the pledge that list various American images. In the next scene, Peter attempts to confess his love to Molly, which she finds disgusting and generally ignores. At the meeting, she becomes confused at the phrase "bored meeting." She briefly plays the boomwhackers with Martha and Doug. Towards the middle of the day, Molly has her first meeting with Martha at the water fountain, where they discuss how hot Doug is.

When Martha has a breakdown and attempts to quit, Molly most stays calm and hits the whip. At the end of the day, Molly delivers her first and most iconic end of the day speech, delivering the slogan of the Office: "We worked hard, we ate lots." She is encouraging and sentimental as everyone leaves for the day, though she does get briefly annoyed when Doug and Martha take a long time to say goodbye. When leaving, she slowly approaches to door then quickly bolts out.

#### *Episode Two*

Molly is fourth in line with her fellow workers as they march to work that day. When clocking in, she gives the outlet a little kiss. Early in the day, at the meeting, she eats Cheerios and feeds them to Tom (typically Peter in other episodes). When the interns first enters, Molly stays relatively calm, and attempts to feed **Tim** the Cheerios. After Kate is given a strike at the meeting where the questions for interns are asked, Molly tells the camera that there's only one strike, which she (Kate) does not know. Later, Martha and Molly have their second meeting at the water fountain, where Martha tells Molly that she plans to fire Doug. Molly correctly guesses that Doug is being fired because he smells. When Martha does try to fire Doug, Molly is the first to begin clapping.

Later in the day, Molly informs everyone that its nighttime, and everyone goes to sleep. This is what allows for Tim to steal the purple thumbtack. At the meeting where they attempt to find out who stole it, Molly says, "whoever smelt it dealt it," seemingly to accuse Peter (typically **Tom** in other episodes) of stealing it. At the end of the day, Martha does not even say goodbye to anyone, instead quickly running out the door immediately after Peter.

#### *Episode Three*

Molly clocks in to the Office at the beginning of the day with her hood up and one of her sleeves tucked into the other (akin to a Minecraft villager) and slides her arms down the outlet. As the workers work on their computers at the start of the day, Molly looks at pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal. When discussing how to celebrate National Oven Mitts Day, Molly suggests that they burn their hands to appreciate their true affect. At a later meeting where they discussed what to do for the party, Molly is somewhat on edge, snapping at Peter, Doug, and Kate. As everyone begins to carry out their job for the party, Martha calls Molly over to the water fountain and asks if she wants to get fired. Molly agrees, but says that Martha must kiss Doug first.

As the party is in its full swing, Molly sits with Martha under the stairs and hatch their plan. After Martha finally gives Doug a kiss on the hand, Martha and Molly stage a fight so that they get fired. Martha accuses Molly of killing her grandma, which Molly did actually do (though Martha is not bother by this). They fight and Molly quickly defeats Martha, but as Martha is the boss, they were not fired. At the end of the day, Molly gives a kiss to a picture of Jake Gyllenhaal on her computer and walks out the door.

#### *Episode Four*

Molly enters with her hood pulled up and tucked behind her ears, licks her fingers, and hits the outlet to clock in. At the start of the work day, Molly attempts to look at what Doug has written on the white board, which Doug yells at her for. When **Jacob** first enters with the Lemon Fisch, Molly first asks if he brought them for lunch. After Tim says that whoever makes the most sales will get the Lemon Fisch, Molly frantically asks, "What do we sell?" (The age old question.) At the meeting where Tim says that he plans to change the **company's** name, Molly joins her co-workers in arguing with Tim. She is the first to comfort Jacob when the Lemon Fisch go missing, and quickly becomes hostile with Tim (clearly thinking that she must kill him).

Molly leaves Tim mid-conversation when Martha calls her over to the water fountain, and the two discuss how they have to kill Tim. She is then seen training with Martha, and she later joins the other workers in both the planning and the execution of killing Tim. At the end of the day, Molly gives another one of her famous speeches where she celebrates the workers' newfound bloodlust, saying, "We worked hard, we killed Tim." Molly joins her co-workers in a conga line out the door at the end of the day.

#### *Episode Five*

Molly enters for the day, does a twirl, and slaps to outlet to clock in for the last time. When Jacob enters and announces that **his mother** is dead, Molly pretends not to care. During the early workday, Molly reads a newspaper. At the meeting where Martha and Doug break it to the workers that the Office is going to be destroyed, Molly does not understand at first, taking particular confusion with the term "human race." ("Like a running race?") When the workers break to try to find donations to save the company, Molly accidentally calls Martha, and both fall into a loop of asking one another for donations. Once they realize that they will not be able to raise enough money and Bach is apprehended, Molly dances *beautifully* along with Bach's music.

As everyone takes their things from the Office, Molly speaks to the water fountain and drinks from it's "precious waters, one last time." At the end of the day, Molly gives her final inspirational speech, admitting that they didn't work very hard but that they did, of course, eat lots. As Jacob leaves for the day, Molly admits to him that she did in fact kill his mother, for which he is very grateful. She is very emotional as everyone leaves, and begins to cry once it is her turn to leave. She hugs Kate and Martha, and remarks on how they still didn't know what they sold. Doug mentions that she has killed three people since she came to the Office, to which she responds, "I did, I have more kills than any of you!" before walking out the door, looking both ways, and disappearing around the hall.

### After *The Office Life*

Soon after the Office closed, Molly reconnected with Jake Gyllenhaal, who immediately fell in love with her. They were married in summer of 2019, and lived happily ever after. Molly stopped carrying out assassinations, except for sometimes on the weekends when bored.
