Office Space Page #4

[Scene Peter's apartment. He enters, tired, and sits down on the couch.

He then turns on the TV.]

LAWRENCE:

(V/O, FROM NEXT DOOR)

HEY PETER-MAN! CHECK OUT CHANNEL NINE! IT'S THE BREAST EXAM! CHECK OUT

THIS CHICK!

PETER:

Lawrence, can't you just pretend like we can't hear each other through

the wall?

LAWRENCE:

Oh! I'm sorry man, is Anne over there or something?

PETER:

No! But if you just want to talk to me, just come over.

Lawrence does so; it takes him like ten seconds.

LAWRENCE:

Hey man. Check this out, dude.

He changes channels a bunch of times

Pepsi commercial, a soap opera and another show. He stops on breast

exam.

PETER:

Oh geez, Lawrence.

LAWRENCE:

I'm sorry, man. I thought you'd wanna see this. Doesn't this chick look

like Anne?

PETER:

Yeah, a little bit.

LAWRENCE:

Hey, she hasn't been over here in a while. You two still going out?

PETER:

I guess, yeah. I, I don't know. Sometimes I get the feeling that she's

cheating on me.

LAWRENCE:

Yeah, I get that feeling too, man.

PETER:

What do you mean by that?

LAWRENCE:

I don't know , man, I just get that feeling looking at her, like - I'm

sorry, man. Look, I, I, I, I, I, I'm talking out of my ass. I don't

know.

He gets up.

PETER:

It's ok. I just had a rough day.

LAWRENCE:

Tell me about it, man.

(sits on the couch)

I gotta wake my ass up at six AM every day of this week and drag

myself up to Vascalinas. Yeah, I'm doing the drywall up there at the

new McDonalds.

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, sh*t, no, man. I believe you get your ass kicked for

sayin' something like that, man.

PETER:

Huh.

LAWRENCE:

We still going fishing this weekend?

PETER:

Nah. Lumbergh's gonna make me come in this Saturday. I know it.

LAWRENCE:

Well, you can get out of that easily.

PETER:

Yeah, how?

LAWRENCE:

(Gets up)

Well, when you work on an Saturday, he generally asks you at the end of

the day, right?

(gets a beer)

So all you have to do is avoid him –

(peter offers him a bottle cap remover)

That's all right, i got one –

(he gets on from his pocket)

The last few hours of the day. And turn off your answering machine, you

should be home free then.

PETER:

That's a really good idea. (sits on the couch) Lawrence, what would you

do if you had a million dollars?

He sits down.

LAWRENCE:

I'll tell you what I'll do, man--Two chicks at the same time.

Peter laughs.

PETER:

That's it? If you had a million dollars, that's what you'd do, two

chicks at the same time?

LAWRENCE:

Damn straight, man. I've always wanted to do that. I figure if I were a

millionaire, I could hook that up. Chicks dig guys with money.
