And if, if they take my stapler, I will, I will set this building on fire.
{Scene Milton's cubicle. He hears Bill talking and eavesdrops.}

Bill: ...stapler off my desk...

{Milton puts his Swingline stapler somewhere else. The guys laugh.}

Bill: ...anyway, sounds great, Bob. I'll see you in a few. {they walk off}
Hey, Milton, what's happening?

Milton: Uh...sir...

Bill: Uh, I'm going to have to ask you to move your desk. Now, if you could
get it to go as far back against that wall as possible, that would be
great.

Milton: No, no, because I was, I was -

Bill: That way, we'll have some room for more boxes and things we need to put
in here.

Milton: No...sir...

Bill: Uh {sees the Swingline} Oh there it is.

Milton: No. No.

Bill: Let me just get that from ya. {picks it up} Great. So if you could get
to that as soon as possible, that would be terrific. Have a nice lunch,
Milton. Bye.

He walks off.

Milton: Ok. I'll set the building on fire.

temp: Uh oh. Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mundays.


Peter: Let me ask you something. When you come in on Mondays, and you're not
feeling too well, does anybody ever come up to you and say "sounds like
someone's got a case of the Mondays"?

Lawrence: No. No, man, shit, no, man. I believe you get your ass kicked for
sayin' something like that, man.

:rofl:

ooc: I haven't read anything about "Extract" yet, so I hope it's good. The TV ads seem about as badly done as they were when Office Space came out. You'd think they'd have learned the first time around...

18. Mike Judge movies are horribly marketed; hence why they bomb at the box office....
....only to see them reach cult status and potentially classic status based on video.

Office Space I believe is already a comedy classic, and Idiocracy has a strong cult following. Both bombed at the box office.

27. I wonder if that's intentional.
Would they make more money in the video market?

Maybe if enough of us Office Space "cultists" go to see Extract, it'll do well afterall. I'll have to call a friend this weekend and see if he wants to see it :)

4. (Scene Milton's cubicle, under the banner. He's on the phone with Peter.)
Milton: I, I don't care if they, if they lay me off either, because I, I told
Bill that if he moves my desk one more time, then, then I'm quitting.
I'm going to quit. And I told Dom too because they've moved my desk
four times. I used to be by the window, where 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. (he's holding his red
Swingline) (Camera pans to Peter) They have my staples for the Boston
and I kept the staples from the Swingline stapler.

Peter: Ok, Milton.

Milton: And if, if they take my stapler, I will, I will set this building on
fire.

Peter: Oh, that's great. I will talk to you later.

13. Merry or Married?
I guess both are pretty odd, but I prefer the idea that he figures the squirrels were married...

21. It has to be "married".
Milton has wandered pretty far from the herd -- psychologically speaking. "It had salt on the glass. BIG grains of salt."

24. I always hear "married".
I know the script I found online has a lot of errors, so I do my best to correct them when I post. I just missed that one, as it is a long and rambling quote ;)

"What am I going to do with 40 subscriptions to Vibe?"

23. I have to tell you, if you don't think it's the funniest movie you ever saw
wait a few days and watch it again.

It grows with the watching. :D

You know, now that I telecommute, I sort of miss the madcap office crowd.

12. "...the pleasure's all on this side of the table, trust me."
Bob Slydell: Would you bear with me for just a second, please?
Peter Gibbons: OK.
Bob Slydell: What if - and believe me this is a hypothetical - but what if you were offered some kind of a stock option equity sharing program. Would that do anything for you?
Peter Gibbons: I don't know, I guess. Listen, I'm gonna go. It's been really nice talking to both of you guys.
Bob Slydell: Absolutely, the pleasure's all on this side of the table, trust me.
Peter Gibbons: Good luck with your layoffs, all right? I hope your firings go really well.
Bob Porter: Excellent.
Bob Slydell: Great... Wow.

29. Rob: Conjugal visits?
Not that I know of. Now, a minimum security prison is
no picnic. I have a client in there right now. You see, the trick is,
kick someone's ass the first day or become someone's bitch. Then
everything will be all right. Why do you ask, anyway?


Michael: No. No. Y'know what I think? I think we're screwed. There's evidence
all over that building to link it to us. Even if we could launder
money, I wouldn't want to. If we're caught while laundering money,
we're not going to go to white-collar-resort-prison. No, no, no. We're
gonna go to federal-reserve-pound-me-in-the-ass-prison.


:rofl:
