S2:E7;02 Samuel L. Chang's Dialogue Is Different

When Jim tabs through the Threat Level Midnight script at his desk with Pam [07:00], we can see Samuel L. Chang's dialogue contains words like "yo" and "word". When we see Dwight's portrayal of Chang in the Threat Level Midnight film, the dialogue doesn't contain the same language. The only time we see someone reading Chang's dialogue directly from the script is when Ryan plays the part later in the same episode.

Possible Cause:
Dwight wants Chang to be a humanoid robot, and Michael lets him portray Chang as such. Dwight could have intentionally omitted certain language in Chang's dialogue to more accurately portray him as a robot.

Neither of the waitresses were at the scene in Benihana's, however, the subtitles show dialogue for one of the waitresses as "Cindy".
