What happens

Dwight asks Ryan to take a beet seed from his palm. Ryan misses and Dwight asks him to try again. However, Ryan is faster and takes the seed. Dwight asks Ryan to plant the beet seed. Dwight says 'Just as you have planted your seed in the ground, I am going to plant my seed in you' to which Ryan says 'I don't think you know what you're saying.' Dwight says the bad odor in the area is 'bull crap, and a client can smell it from a mile away'. Dwight announces he forgot something in his car and runs toward the car, gets in and speeds away.
