My dad works in cubicles. Both he and my mom love this movie - they watched it tonight and last night…the first time I saw it, I thought it was stupid (but I was…yah, I’d had a few too many drinks that night and it just didn’t make any sense) - but since then…ummm, yah. If you could just…yah, that’d be great…it’s definitely a classic. Here are some classic lines:
Um…yeah, did you get that memo?
Corporate Accounts Payable Nina speaking…just a moment.
Hello Peter, what’s happening. Uh…we have sort of a problem here, yah…Mmm, yah. You see, we’re putting the cover sheets on all TPS sheets before they go out. Did you see the memo on this?
Yah…if you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that would be greeeeat. And I’ll uh, go ahead and make sure you have a copy of that memo.
Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays!
PC Load Letter…WTF does that mean?
What would you do if you had a million dollars…?
Hello Peter…what’s…happening…
Every single day that you see me, that’s on the worst day of my life…
Deeper and deeper…way, way down.

Love this movie. Before I landed in my current position of youth pastor, I worked in a warehouse. The office workers there were just like in the movie and my boss was “Lumbergh”. I had everyone at work watch it so they could see what I had seen. Funny story. A few months later I walked into the break room to get some coffee. There was my boss, with his little ofice buddies, talking about the movie and making fun of the boss!!! How awesome is that?!!!! I can still remember hiding so I didn’t have to work overtime or come in on the weekend. We even had a Milton there?
A classic indeed!
“I’m gonna be showing her my O Face”
Awesome movie!
some day i too will knock down the walls of my cube.
oh, but then they’d see me blogging all day.
scratch that.
This fine movie was filmed primarily in Austin…fun to see familiar places from around town. I may just have to watch it again soon to get an Austin fix.
I lived on this movie during two years on the road. For anyone in IT, this is the freakin Holy Grail.
That movie is one of my families favorites. It’s really not my thing but my husband and four kids can repeat most if not all lines. If I hear, “Sounds like some has a case of the Mondays” or “Umm..yeah did you get that memo?” one more time. Well…I might as well not finish that statement because I KNOW I’m going to hear them both many more times.
i only liked this movie.
when they hit the “turn criminal” portion of he movie that it all falls apart. they needed someone to make them re-write the last part of the script.
i keep imagining a producer reading the first half of the script and saying “what a great movie, here’s the money, make it!” and then watching the final product and kicking himself for not reading the rest of the script before letting them make the movie.
