Office Space Sound Clips

Office Space is a 90s American comedy film written and directed by Mike Judge. It satirizes the everyday work life of a typical mid-to-late-1990s software company, focusing on a handful of individuals fed up with their jobs. It stars Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, Gary Cole, Stephen Root, David Herman, Ajay Naidu, and Diedrich Bader.[5] Office Space was shot in Dallas and Austin, Texas. It is based on Judge’s Milton cartoon series and was his first foray into live-action filmmaking and his second full-length motion picture release, following Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. His 2009 film Extract is also set in an office and was meant to be a companion piece to Office Space. The film’s 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 against a $10 million production budget. But after repeated airings on Comedy Central, it sold well on home video, and has become a cult film. Several aspects of the film have become popular Internet memes. A scene where the three main characters systematically destroy a dysfunctional printer after being laid off has been widely parodied, by Family Guy, Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign, and many amateurs. Swingline introduced a red stapler to its product line after the Milton character used one painted that color in the film.

Ron Livingston as Peter Gibbons … “What would you do if you had a million dollars?”
Diedrich Bader as Lawrence … “I’ll tell you what I’d do man … two chicks at the same time, man.”

Jennifer Aniston as Joanna … “If you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair like your pretty boy over there Brian, why don’t you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?”

Peter … “What am I gonna do with 40 subscriptions to Vibe?”

Lawyer … “Conjugal visits? Not that I know of. No, minimum security prison is no picnic. I have a client in there right now. He says the trick is, kick someone’s ass the first day, or become someone’s bitch. Then everything will be alright.”

Peter … “When you come in on Monday and you’re not feeling real well, does anyone say to you, “Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays?”
Lawrence … “Shit, no man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked saying something like that, man.”

John C. McGinley as 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.”

Bob Slidell … “Are you any relation to the pop singer?”
David Herman (I) as Michael Bolton … “Naw, it’s just a coincidence.”
Bob Slidell … “Because I’ll be honest with you! I love his music! I do! I’m a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don’t know if it gets any better than when he sings ‘When a Man Loves a Woman’.”

Peter … “What if we’re still doing this when we’re 50?”
Samir … “It would be nice to have that kind of job security.”

Stephen Root as Milton Waddams … “Excuse me? (Door closes) Well, okay, but… That’s the last straw… ”

Milton … “Well… I… I told Bill that if Sandra’s going to listen to her headphones while she’s filing, then I should be able to listen to the radio while I’m collating.”
Peter … “Uh huh.”
Milton … “So I don’t see why I should …”
Peter … “OK.
Milton … ” … have to turn down the radio.”

Rupert Reyes as Mexican Waiter … “Lo siento mucho, Senor… gringo.”
Milton … “Lo siento, but I won’t be leaving a tip! Cuz I could, I could shut this whole resort down! Sir? I could take my travelers checks to a competing resort! I could write a letter to your board of tourism and I could have this place condemned! I could put… I could put strychnine in the guacamole! There was salt on the glass… BIG grains of salt!”

Michael … “Thing’s lucky I’m not armed.”
Samir … “(Pulls paper out of the printer) Piece of shit!”

Peter … “We don’t have a lot of time on this earth! We weren’t meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day… filling out useless forms… and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements.”
Michael … “I told those fudge packers that I liked Michael Bolton’s music.”
Peter … “Oh that is not right, Michael.”

Lumbergh … “Did you see the memo about this?”

Peter … “HE REPRESENTS ALL THAT IS SOULLESS AND WRONG!!”

Milton … “I believe you have my stapler?”

Michael … “It’s pretty brilliant. What it does is every time there’s a bank transaction where interest is computed, you know, thousands a day? The computer ends up with these fractions of a cent, which it usually rounds off? What this does is takes those little remainders and puts them into an account.”
Peter … “This sounds familiar.”
Michael … “Yeah, they did it in Superman 3.”
Peter … “Right.”
Michael … “Underrated movie, actually.”

Lawrence … “Oh, I’m sorry man! Look, I-I-You know, I’m talking out of my ass.”
