Office Space

Office Space is a 1999 American satirical black comedy film written and directed by Mike Judge. It satirizes the work life of a typical 1990s software company, focusing on a handful of individuals weary of their jobs. It stars Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, Gary Cole, Stephen Root, David Herman, Ajay Naidu, and Diedrich Bader. Office Space was filmed in Dallas and Austin, Texas. It is based on Judge's Milton cartoon series and was his first foray into live-action filmmaking. The film was Judge's second full-length motion picture release, following Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. It was released in theaters on February 19, 1999, by 20th Century Fox. Its sympathetic depiction of ordinary information technology workers garnered a cult following within that field, but it also addresses themes familiar to white-collar employees and the workforce in general. It was a box office disappointment, making $12.2 million on a $10 million production budget; however, it sold well on home video, and has become a cult film. Several aspects of the film have become Internet memes. A scene in which the three main characters systematically destroy a dysfunctional printer has been widely parodied. Swingline introduced a red stapler to its product line after the Milton character used one painted in that color in the film. Judge's 2009 film Extract is also set in an office and was intended as a companion piece to Office Space.

Doesn't that chick look like Anne? Yeah. A little bit. I... Hey, she hasn't been over here in a while. You two still goin' out? Yeah. I guess. L... I don't know. Sometimes I get the feeling like she's cheating on me. Yeah. I get that feeling, too, man. What do you mean by that? I don't know, man. I just get that feeling lookin' at her, like... she's the type of chick that just...

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"? No. No, man. Shit, no, man. You'd get your ass kicked, sayin' something like that, man. Huh. We still goin' fishin' this weekend? Ah, Lumbergh's gonna have me come in on Saturday. I just know it. Well, you can get out of that easily. Yeah? How? Well... when a boss wants you to work on Saturday... he generally asks you at the end of the day, right? Yeah. So all you gotta do is avoid him... that's all right... I got it... on the last few hours on Friday... duck out early... turn off your answering machine... you should be home free, man. That's a really good idea. Fuckin' "A," man.

Lawrence, what would you do if you had a million dollars? I'll tell you what I'd do, man. Two chicks at the same time, man. That's it? If you had a million dollars... you'd do two chicks at the same time? Damn straight. I've always wanted to do that, man. I think if I were a millionaire, I could hook that up, too... 'cause chicks dig dudes with money. Well, not all chicks. The type of chicks that would double up on a dude like me do. Good point. What about you, now? What would you do? Besides two chicks at the same time? Well, yeah. Nothing.

And I said I don't care if they lay me off, either. Because I told Bill... that if they move my desk one more time... then I'm... I'm quitting. I'm going to quit... and I told Dom, 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 married... 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. OK, Milton. No, it's not OK, because if they make me... If they take my stapler, then I'll... I'll... I'll... I'll set the building on fire. OK, well, that sounds great. Uh, I'll talk to you later, all right? Bye. Peter...
