The silence in Dean Hoffman's office is a bit awkward; everyone here actually wants to speak, but no one is willing to start. It seems whoever speaks first will disrupt the whole atmosphere on the scene...
Igor looks around; he feels he won't be the first to speak because he has nothing to say at the moment. He's waiting for Senior Stim to finish reading that Spirit Book.
At this moment, Igor actually misses that Spirit Book—not the book itself, but its incessant chatter. Igor thinks if that Spirit Book were still the same as before, this strange atmosphere would have been broken long ago, and no one would remain silent now!
Unfortunately, for some reason, the Spirit Book isn't saying anything at this moment. It's a completely different scene...
The atmosphere continues to be awkward; no one is willing to speak first. Dean Hoffman's snoring has a nice rhythm—loud and then muffled—making people want to follow suit in taking a nap.
