Ohh! Yeah. That's... That's, uh... That's one of my... My pieces of flair. What's a "piece of flair"? Oh, it's, uh, where, you know... like these suspenders and, uh, buttons, they're all sort of... We're actually required to wear... um, fifteen pieces of flair. It's really stupid, actually. Do you get to pick 'em yourself? Yeah, yeah, we do. Although I didn't actually choose these. I just sort of grabbed, you know, fifteen buttons. I don't even know what they say. I don't really care.

- Peter. - Michael. What the hell's going on, man? I thought you'd come in here and start shooting. No. I just came to get my address book. I'm not gonna stay. I got a phone number, Mike, that I don't wanna lose. What? Peter, you're in deep shit. You were supposed to come in Saturday. What were you doing? Michael, I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing... and it was everything that I thought it could be. I hope you have a better story for Lumbergh. You're supposed to be at your interview with the consultants. The who? The consultants. What has gotten into you?

Hi, Milton. What's happening? Nothing. I'm going to have to ask you to go ahead... and move your desk again, so... if you could go ahead and get it as far back... against that wall as possible... that would be great. No, because I was... That way, we'll have some room... for some of these boxes and things... we need to put in here, and, uh... Oh. Oh, there it is. Here, let me just go ahead and get that from you.

Right, so there's three more people... we can easily lose. Then there's Tom Smykowski. He's useless. Gone. Sounds good to me. Here's a peculiar... - Uh, Milton Waddams. - Who's he? You know, squirrelly looking guy. Mumbles a lot. Oh, yeah. We... we can't actually find a record... of him being a current employee here. I looked into it more deeply... and I found that apparently what happened... is that he was laid off five years ago... and no one ever told him about it... but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department... he still gets a paycheque. So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch. Great. So, uh, Milton has been let go? Just a second there, professor. We, uh, we fixed the glitch. So he won't be receiving a paycheque anymore. So it'll just work itself out naturally. We always like to avoid confrontation whenever possible. The problem is solved from your end.

Joanna, would you come here a minute, please? Yeah. I'm sorry I was late, but I was having lunch, and I, uh... We need to talk about your flair. Really? L... I have fifteen pieces on. I also... Well, fifteen is the minimum, OK? Oh. OK. Now, you know, it's up to you whether or not... you want to just do the bare minimum or... Well, like Brian, for example... has thirty-seven pieces of flair on today. And a terrific smile. OK, so you want me to wear more? Look, Joanna... Yeah? People can get a cheeseburger anywhere, OK? They come to Chotchkie's for the atmosphere and the attitude. OK? That's what the flair's about. - It's about fun. - Yeah. OK, so more then, yeah? Look, we want you to express yourself, OK? Now if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then, OK... but some people choose to wear more... and we encourage that, OK? You do want to express yourself, don't you?

Would you bear with me for just a second, please? OK. What if... And believe me... this is strictly hypothetical... but what if you were offered some kind of a stock option... equity-sharing program? Would that do anything for you? I don't know. I guess. Listen, I'm gonna go. Uh, it's been really nice talking to both of you guys. - Yes. - Absolutely. Pleasure's all on this side of the table, trust me. Good luck with your layoffs, all right? I hope your firings go really well. - OK. - Thanks a lot. Great. Wow.

Peter, would you be a good sport... and indulge us and just... tell us a little more? Oh, yeah. Let me tell you something about T.P.S. Reports. Ahh... The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy. It's that I just don't care. Don't... don't care? It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now, if I work my ass off... and Initech ships a few extra units... I don't see another dime. So where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob... I have eight different bosses right now. - I beg your pardon? - Eight bosses. - Eight? - Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake... I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation, is not to be hassled. That and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob... that'll only make someone work just hard enough... not to get fired.

I'd like to move us right along to a Peter Gibbons. Now, we had a chance to meet this young man... and, boy, that's just a straight shooter... with upper management written all over him. Eech. Ooh. Yeah. Um... I'm going to have to go ahead... and sort of disagree with you there. Yeah, uh, he's been real flaky lately... and I'm just not sure that he's the calibre person... that we would want for upper management. He's also been having some problems... with his T.P.S. Reports.

Yeah... Ah, well... I'm just not sure about that right now. Yeah, Bill, let me ask you a real quick question here. How much time would you say you spend each week... dealing with these T.P.S. Reports? Yeah...
