Now i originaly stumbled over this movie a couple of years ago when i was channel surfing and now when it is on i can't miss it. The story of a guy who becomes dissalusioned with his life and job and set about doing the bare minimum in his job without getting fired. The acting in this film and comic situations is great.and i think the characters in the film will ring so true with anyone who has worked in an office enviroment.

The Lawrence charachter is good,but i really like the scene when they are smashing the copier up.Milton's charachter is a great performance and good to see he is the one that gets his own back in the end.

[talking on the phone] And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

Peter Gibbons: What if we're still doing this when we're fifty? Samir: It would be nice to have that kind of job security. Peter Gibbons: Lumbergh's gonna have me work on Saturday. I can tell already. I'm gonna end up doing it, because, uh... because I'm a big pussy, which is why I work at Initech to begin with. Michael Bolton: Uh, yeah, well, I work at Initech and I don't consider myself a pussy, okay? Samir: Yes, I am also not a pussy.

Samir: No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Na-ghee-na-na-jar. Nagheenanajar. Michael Bolton: Yeah, well, at least your name isn't Michael Bolton. Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name. Michael Bolton: There *was* nothing wrong with it... until I was about twelve years old and that no-talent *** clown became famous and started winning Grammys. Samir: Hmm... well, why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael? Michael Bolton: No way! Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

Never seen office space? You must drop everything you are doing and watch it this second!!
Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars? Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man. Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd 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. Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks. Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do. Peter Gibbons: Good point.

"We don't have a lot of time on 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." (Peter Gibbons)
