Superman Yeah, thats it

Superman

Yeah, thats it. Great. Peter Gibbons : Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And Ive already taken care of it so its not even really a problem anymore. Dom Portwood : Ah! Yeah. Its just were putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, thatd be great. All right! Bob Slydell : What if Superman believe me this is a hypothetical but what if you were offered Superman kind of a stock option equity sharing program. Would that do anything for you? Peter Gibbons : I dont know, I guess. Listen, Im gonna go. Its been really nice talking to both of you guys. Bob Slydell : Absolutely, the pleasures all on this side of the table, trust me. Peter Gibbons : Good luck with your layoffs, all right? I hope your firings go really well. Peter Gibbons : about the plan to steal from Initech Before we go any further, all right, we have to swear to God, Allah, that nobody knows about this but us, all right? No family members, no girlfriends, nobody. Lawrence : from the next apartment through the wall Dont worry, man. I wont tell anyone either. Peter, Michael, and Samir are chatting as they hang around the printer Peter Gibbons : Our high school guidance counselor used to ask us what youd do if you had a million dollars and you didnt have to work. And invariably what youd say was supposed to be your career. So, if you wanted to fix old cars then youre supposed to be an auto mechanic. Michael Bolton : No, youre working at Initech because that question is bullshit to begin with. If everyone listened to her, thered be no janitors, because no one would clean shit up if they had a million dollars. Samir : You know what I would do if I had a million dollars? I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in Michael Bolton : Samir, youre missing the point. The point of the exercise is that youre supposed to figure out what you would want to do Peter Gibbons : Its a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I dont see another dime, so wheres the motivation? And heres something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now. Peter Gibbons : Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me Superman it. Thats my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired. Joanna : How dare you judge me? I mean what are you? You think youre some kind of, like, angel here? No, youre just this wanna-be man. Lawrence : shouting through the wall from his apartment Hey Peter, man, check out channel 9, check out this chick. Samir : No, not again. why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to God, one of these days, I just kick this piece of shit out the window. Peter Gibbons : Thats it? If you had a million dollars, youd do two chicks at the same time? Lawrence : Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; cause chicks dig dudes with money. Lawrence : Well, you dont need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: hes broke, dont do shit.
