[quote name='Strell']I dunno if I think that. I mean the first two seasons are him trying to slack off as much as possible, even though he points out in the Olympics episode that even with the goofing off, he closes two clients and thus "is about as productive as any other day."
I thought he was calling to tell Ryan he was serious about sticking around because he wants to stay near Pam. Plus, Ryan really tried to move in on Pam this season, so maybe Ryan is just nursing an agenda/vendetta. Or, possibly, he wants to get rid of Jim and then try to get Pam.
At any rate, not really anything to worry about right now. Ryan is gone and it feels good.[/QUOTE]
Well just this season he's not necessarily serious about the job itself, but more for the financial security he wants for him future with Pam. Big Tuna has changed his whole attitude on the job the past 3 episodes. I don't think he feels the need to work with Pam, they're already together. Its more for the money for Pam plans.
I don't think Ryan is after Pam as much as you think. I take his dislike of Jim more because of the whole Wallace/website thing. Theres a really good deleted scene of how its risky for him to go after Jim. I also don't think its the last we've seen of Ryan. He'll be back with Michael and Kelly visiting at whatever rich people prison he ends up at.
