A scene from Office Space 1999
Tom Smykowski

I've been looking all over for you guys. Have you seen this? [gives Peter a printout of an email] I knew it. I knew it!

Michael Bolton

What, it's a staff meeting. So what?

Tom Smykowski

So, what? We're all screwed, that's what! They're gonna downsize Initech!

Samir Nagheenanajar

What're you talking about, Tom? Now, how do you know that?

Tom Smykowski

How do I know? They're bringing in a consultant, that's how I know! That's what this staff meeting's all about! It happened at Intitrode last year. You have to interview with this consultant; they call them "efficiency experts", but what you're really doing is interviewing for your own job!

Michael Bolton

Tom, every week you say you're gonna lose your job, and you're still here.

Tom Smykowski

Not this time. I bet I'm the first one laid off. Just the thought of having to go to the state unemployment office and stand in line with those SCUMBAGS!
