Jenna Fischer reveals what Pam said to Michael in the US Office and why it was so emotional

'Those were real tears and a real goodbye'

The Office US had its own Lost in Translation moment in its season seven episode, "Goodbye Michael".

As Michael Scott (Steve Carell) left for Colorado to live with Holly, it was Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) who accompanied him to the airport to give her final farewell.

With Michael having already removed his mic for the last time ("This is gonna feel so good getting this thing off my chest. That's what she said," is his predictable response), we never hear those last few words shared between coworkers.

However, Jenna Fischer is no Bill Murray: while the latter refuses to divulge what he whispered to Scarlett Johansson at the end of Sofia Coppola's fractured romance, Fischer did finally share a few details of what was said during that moment.

"That was me talking to Steve. I told him all the ways I was going to miss him when he left our show. Those were real tears and a real goodbye," Fischer said in an Instagram Live video (via Mashable). "That was a really emotional scene."

She also shared her favourite episode of the series, which happens to be a choice shared by many: "I just watched 'Branch Wars' from Season 4 and I was kind of loving it. But my ultimate favorite is 'Dinner Party.'"
