Your favorite quote from the movie "Office Space"
DH bought the DVD of Office Space today and we're watching it now. Damn that's a funny movie. What's your favorite quote? There are so many funny ones, but I think this one is my favorite:

Peter:
"I cannot believe what a bunch of nerds we are. We're looking up 'money laundering' in the dictionary."

1. Not a quote, but the dream sequence
when it shows "the boss" (I forget his name) humping Jenifer Aniston while drinking a cup of coffee. The movie was funny enough but this had me almost lose bladder control...

2. "It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care." - Peter Gibbons
and to answer the person above, the boss' name is Bill Lumbergh.

5. I like the Michael Bolton Line.
"There was nothing wrong with that name, until I was 12 years old and that no-talent ass-clown became famous and started winning grammys.

7. That's a good one
I also like the one where the Bobs tell Lumbergh how impressed they were with Peter:

"We had a chance to meet this young man, and boy that's just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him."

16. Watch your cornhole
That movie NEVER gets old, in fact the longer you work at a "real job" the funnier it gets. The article in Enterainment Weekly about Office Space as one of the greatest cult classics ever was great. Apparently, the producers never gave Judge a pieceful moment and wanted him to change everything. They were pissed when it bombed in the theatres and said all sorts of nasty things about it. Then people actually watched it, loved it, and made it one of the best selling Dvd's of all time. They talked to one of the producers in the article and he wanted them to try to convince Judge to make a sequel. Judge pretty much said no fucking way, because they were such assholes.

19. If you don't already own it
Buy the DVD! My DH found it in the bargain bin (brand new no less!) for like $15. There are no "extras" on the DVD (at least not on the one we have) but it is definitely worth owning. I never see it played on cable anymore except the edited version on Comedy Central, which sucks. The unedited version is the only way to watch it. I've seen this movie probably a dozen times and it still makes me laugh my ass off.

14. Also
"How can you say paper jam when there is no paper jam?"

The guys in my office used to say that to the printer (which was next to my desk) all the time.

29. I don't know if this is the best line...

But I like it when the annoying guy comes up and says,

"I'm gonna show her my 'Oh' face... OOOH! OOOH!"

another funny line:

"You know who else had flair? The Nazis."

30. This one's classic also...
Bob Slydell: We find it's always better to fire people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week.

31. Okay, I'm a straight female but I still find this funny:
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 me do.

36. More...
Lawrence: What about you, 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, 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 shit.

38. I own this movie and
watch it at least once per month! It's probably my favorite of all time. So many of the lines make me chuckle but here are some of my favorites:

Michael - (to the printer): "that thing's lucky I'm not armed" also when they beat the crap out of it in a field. I sooo relate.

Peter: - "Hey Lawrence, you wanna come over?" Lawrence: "no man, I don't want you fuckin' up my life too!"

Lumbergh: (to Milton): "We're gonna go ahead and move you to the basement, we have a cockroach problem down there and..."

Amire: "I don't want to go to any prison...."


Joanna: "now how is that not stealing?"

The Bobs: (to Peter after their first meeting): "believe me, the pleasures all on this side of the table."
Peter to the bobs: "good luck with your firings."
