Although there are the real finales, I'd like to consider this as a series finale, too, although it was obvious that there would be something to wrap it all up.
The episode is still funny despite the fact that Dawn and David are leaving. David is going to be interviewed by a journalist and he gives stupid remarks such as quoting himself . But the interview does not go well. First Dawn shows up and says that she is leaving (which is also very bad for Tim) and then the motivational speaking company comes and says that they don't want to work with David anymore. After that news, he even makes the journalist go away, he is devastated. Again, I felt sorry for David, but as we can see in the specials, his torment is not over...
Tim is also going through a bad period. He dumped Rachel just because of the kiss with Dawn and now he learns that Dawn is going to leave the office. When he is talking to the camera and then makes a move to ask Dawn out is a good reference to the Hollywood clichés where the boy gets the girl by making a special and romantic move. But the conclusion is not as we have expected it, Dawn says no...
Also taking off the microphones is a great idea to show the privateness, but (again) the conclusion is not good for Tim.
Anyway, as The Office ends, it doesn't end with a special thing. It ends with Brent talking about Dolly Parton. And just like life moves on and nothing special happens. That is what The Office is all about: The moments in people's lives which are not special but funny as hell...moreless
Although slightly peaved that the staff seem to be taking his redundancy in their stride, David's spirits remain high as he plans his future while also being interviewed for an article in 'Inside Paper'. Tim takes drastic action when he learns that Dawn has resigned in order to move to the USA with boyfriend Lee. However, when David is told that his services as a motivational speaker are also no longer required he sinks to his lowest ebb and begs Neil to reconsider the dismissal. But is it too late?moreless

QUOTES (5)
ADD QUOTES-
David: Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it you know, you never know what's round the corner. Er, but it's all good, you know. "If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain." Do you know which 'philosopher' said that? Dolly Parton! And people say she's just a big pair of tits.
-
Dawn: A real relationship isn't like a fairy tale. I f you think that for the next forty years, every time you see each other you're going to glow, or, you know, every time you hold hands there's going to be electricity, then, you're kidding yourself really, you know? What about reliability, or er, someone paying the mortgage, or someone who's never been out of work. Those are the more important, practical things, you know? In reality.

Helena: Is there a better half?
David: David quipped, "Why buy a book when you can join a library?" -
David: I can wake up one morning and go "Ooh, I don't feel like working today, can I just stay in bed?" "Ooh, don't know, better ask the boss." "David can I stay in bed all day?" "Yes you can David." (laughs) Both me, I'm not-- That's not me in bed with another bloke called David.
-
David: I don't look upon this like it's the end, I look upon it like it's moving on, you know? It's almost like my work here's done, you know? I can't imagine Jesus going "Oh, I've told a few people here in Bethlehem I'm the son of God, can I just stay here with Mum and Dad now?" "No! You gotta move on. You gotta spread the word. You gotta go to Nazareth, please." And that's, very much like... me.
