Office Space

[Lonie_from_50]

I watched this movie for the first time since it came out last month, and have watched it about 10 times in that period. It is a great movie, and I am sure plenty of people can relate to it.

Just the plot of the movie:
Peter Gibbons is a middle aged man who hates his job in the office at Initech and hates his arrogant boss Bill Lumburgh. One Day he asks a occupation phsyciotrist to help him at work until he passes out and leaves Peter in a relaxation for what could be the rest of his life, and ends up not giving a stuff for his job and boss and plans to steal money from the company using a virus. It is a hillarious movie involving beatings and cursings to the fax machine to the day to day lifestyle of Milton, what could be called a '******' in the workforce who cares for his lovable and most famous 'red stapler' to his antics of mumbling "that's the last straw, I am gonna burn the building down".

If you haven't seen it, I suggest that next time you are in the video store, grab it from the comedy section in the weekley's.

 

[red+black]

yeah it's a classic.

we have a habit at work when we ask for something by always adding "... that'd be great".

 

[silky-smooth]

Classic...

Peter: I don't like my job, and, uh, I don't think I'm gonna go anymore.
Joanna: You're just not gonna go?
Peter: Yeah.
Joanna: Won't you get fired?
Peter: I don't know, but I really don't like it, and, uh, I'm not gonna go.
Joanna: So you're gonna quit?
Peter: Nuh-uh. Not really. Uh... I'm just gonna stop going.
Joanna: When did you decide all that?
Peter: About an hour ago.

 

[Copernicus]

That's a classic movie. Gotta love the poor nuff nuff (can't remember his name) who gets shunted down to the basement.

I really need to watch this one again.

That'd be Milton, it is just a crack up each time he mumbles something.

Here are some hillarious quotes
-----------
Tom Smykowski: It's a "Jump to Conclusions Mat". You see, you have this mat, with different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.
Michael Bolton: That is the worst idea I've ever heard.
Samir: Yes, this is horrible, this idea.
-----------
Peter Gibbons: Before we go any further, all right, we have to swear to God, Allah, that nobody knows about this, all right? No family members, no girlfriends, nobody.
Samir: Of course.
Michael Bolton: Agreed
Lawrence: [from the next apartment through wall] Don't worry man. I won't tell anyone about this either.
Michael Bolton: Who the ******** is that?
Peter Gibbons: Uh, don't worry about him. He's cool.
-----------
[printer starts beeping]
Michael Bolton: "PC Load Letter"? What the ******** does that mean?
-----------
Lawrence: [shouting through the wall from his apartment] Hey Peter, man, check out channel 9, it's the breast exams.
-----------
Samir: No, not again. I... why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to God, one of these days, I just kick this piece of ******** out the window.
Michael Bolton: You and me both, man. That thing is lucky I'm not armed.
Samir: Piece of ********.
-----------
Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.
Lawrence: Well what about you now? what would you do?
Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well yeah.
Peter Gibbons: Nothing.
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
Peter Gibbons: I'd relax, I would sit on my ass all day, I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do ********.
------------
[Stuck in traffic]
Samir: Mother... ********ter... Son of an... ass. I just...
[punches steering wheel]
------------
Peter Gibbons: Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday, and you're not feelin' real well, does anyone ever say to you, 'Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays'?
Lawrence: No. No, man. ********, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.
------------
[Peter is wearing shorts, sandals and a paisley shirt, with his feet up on his desk, munching chips and playing tetris on his computer]
Bill Lumbergh: Hello Peter, what's happening? Listen, are you gonna have those TPS reports for us this afternoon?
Peter Gibbons: No.
Bill Lumbergh: Ah. Well then I suppose we should go ahead and have a little talk.
Peter Gibbons: Not right now Lumbergh, I'm kinda busy. You know what, in fact I'm gonna have to ask you to just go ahead and come back later, I've got a meeting with the Bobs in a couple minutes.
Bill Lumbergh: I wasn't aware of a meeting with them.
Peter Gibbons: Yeah, they called me at home.
-----------
Nina: Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment.
-----------
And of course, Milton
Milton Waddams: [talking on the phone] And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...
-----------
Nina: Now Milton, don't be greedy, lets pass it along and make sure everyone gets a piece.
Milton Waddams: Yeah, but last time I didn't receive a piece.
Nina: Just pass.
[the cake passes and everybody but Milton gets a piece]
Milton Waddams: [whispering] I could set the building on fire.
-----------
Bill Lumbergh: Milt, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?
Milton Waddams: Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler...

All GOLD

 

[Derek Zoolander]

Except for the cubicals (we don't have any) this is my life at the moment, and for most of my working life. I, like most, relate to that movie and have watched it numerous amounts of times. Just love it.

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

Look up 'underrated' in the dictionary and you will see the poster for this movie.

Great, great film.

 

[SydneyBomber]

if you liked the movie so much, show us your 'o' face.

Those ********ing TPS reports.

[ViperV10]

Sensational movie. So many brilliant one-liners.

Samir just cracks me up.

 

[Portmanteau]

Great, great movie. I love the gangster rap soundtrack (just in terms of satire, that's a few years ahead of its time).

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Those ********ing TPS reports.

And LF50...came out last month???? I got it in April 2004 on dvd.

yeah, i forgot a comma, it was meant to be - I watched it for the first time since it came out (1999), last month (2005)...if that makes sense. I got it on DVD also, and is certainly in the collection.
