A Michael Scott superfan was super upset when her hopes of watching The Office were shut down at bedtime.

Video from Ria and Rocco Briganti shows their daughter Josie crying for the fictional character at their home in Denville, New Jersey.

“I need Michael Scott!” the toddler can be heard repeatedly pleading, getting more and more upset each time mommy says no. Determined Josie did get her way eventually, however.

“It was bedtime and we said no at first,” Ria Briganti told Storyful, “but ultimately gave in and we all watched Michael Scott in bed.” Credit: Ria Briganti via Storyful
