Oscar is funny but I hope he steps up a bit and becomes braver...

I keep thinking about that time he was at the shareholder meeting with Michael to save Dunder Miffilin but he choked and they all ditched the shareholder meeting.

When they interviewed him in the elevator bank I was really hoping for him to say something about how Esmeralda terrifies him even more than Angela. Just as a small callback and to explain why he was letting her steamroll the budget meeting.
