Idiot box Peter Gibbons : Its

Idiot box

Peter Gibbons : Its not just about me and my dream of doing nothing. Its about all of us. I dont know what happened to me at that hypnotherapist and, I dont know, maybe it was just shock and its wearing off now, but when I saw that fat man keel over and die Michael, we dont have a lot of time on this earth! We werent 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 about mission statements. Peter Gibbons : What? You mean just hand them a check for the exact amount theyre missing? I think theyd figure that out. Peter Gibbons : You know, corporate accounting is sure as hell gonna notice 305, 13, Michael! Peter Gibbons : discussing the possibility of going to prison This isnt Riyadh. You know theyre not gonna saw your hands off here, alright? The worst they would ever do is they would put you for a couple of months into a white-collar, minimum-security resort! Shit, we should be so lucky! Do you know, they have conjugal visits there? Steve : I lied. All that stuff I said about being a crack head? It just helps me sell magazines. Im actually an software engineer. Steve : Actually man, I make more money selling magazine subscriptions, than I ever did at Intertrode! Michael Bolton : Tom, every week you say youre going to lose your job and youre still here. Tom Smykowski : Not this time. Ill bet Im the first one laid off! Just the thought of having to go to the state unemployment office and stand in line with those Bob Slydell : telling Lumbergh whos going to be fired Theres two more people we can easily lose, and then theres Tom Hes useless. Drew : Hey, isnt that the idiot box that works over at Chotchkies? Drew : All right, Peter! Ooh! Ooh! Right Make sure you wear a rubber, dude. Peter Gibbons : talking about the hypnotherapist hes about to see Hey, he helped Anne lose weight. Peter Gibbons : Lumberghs gonna have me work on Saturday. I can tell already. Im gonna end up doing it, because, because Im a big pussy, which is why I work at Initech to begin with. Peter Gibbons : Explaining the plan Alright so when the sub routine compounds the interest is uses all these extra decimal places that just get rounded off. So we simplified the whole thing, we rounded them all down, drop the remainder into an account we opened. Peter Gibbons : Ah no, you dont understand. Its very complicated. Its uh its aggregate, so Im talking about fractions of a penny here. And over time they add up to a lot. Peter Gibbons : No thats the jar. Im talking about the tray. You know the pennies that are for everybody? Peter Gibbons : Well those are whole pennies, right? Im just talking about idiot box of a penny here.
