Office Space Page #3
He hands them a piece of paper.
MICHAEL:
What? It's the staff meeting. So what?
TOM:
We're all screwed, that's what. They're gonna downsize Initech.
SAMIR:
Oh, what are you talking about Tom? How do you know that?
TOM:
They're bringing in a consultant - that's how I know. That's what this
staff meeting is all about! That's what happened at Initrode last year.
You have an interview with a consultant and they bring in efficiency
experts. You're interviewing for your own job!
MICHAEL:
Tom, every week you say you're losing your job and you're still here.
TOM:
I'm going to be the first one they're gonna lay off. Just the thought
of having to go to the State Unemployment Office and having to stand in
line with those scumbags!!!
[Scene Michael and Samir's cubicle. They're sitting there worrying.]
MICHAEL:
Sh*t. Sh*t.
TOM:
You know there are people in this world who don't have to put up with
all this sh*t? Like that guy that invented the pet rock. You see,
that's what you have to do. You have to use your mind and come up with
some really great idea like that and you never have to work again!
MICHAEL:
I don't think the pet rock was really such a good idea.
TOM:
The guy made a million dollars! Y'know… I had an idea like that once.
PETER:
Really? What was it, Tom?
TOM:
Well, all right. It was a Jump… to Conclusions-mat. You see, it would
be this mat that you would put on the floor and it would have different
conclusions written on it that you could…jump to.
MICHAEL:
That is the worse idea I've ever heard in my life, Tom.
SAMIR:
Yes, yes, it's horrible…this idea….
TOM:
Ah, look. I, I gotta get outta here. I'll see you guys later, if I
still have a job.
He goes to his cubicle.
PETER:
Our high school guidance counselor used to ask us what you would do if
we had a million dollars and didn't have to work. And invariably,
whatever we would say, that was supposed to be our careers. If you
wanted to build cars, then you're supposed to be an auto mechanic.
SAMIR:
So what did you say?
PETER:
I never had an answer. I guess that's why I'm working at Initech.
MICHAEL:
No, you're working at Initech because that question is bullshit to
begin with.
(The printer is not working)
If that quiz worked, there would be no janitors, because no one would
clean sh*t up if they had a million dollars.
SAMIR:
Well, I would invest half of it in ??? Mutual Funds and give the rest
of it to my friend, Saheib, in Securities.
MICHAEL:
Samir, the point of the exercise is that you could figure out what you
want to do. And then…
(reads the printer's display)
"PC load letter"?!! What the f*** does that mean?!!
