Me too I love the movie. Here’s my quote; I transcribed it last night, 'cause Survivor sucks. * * * Peter: Boy I tell ya somedays… One of these days it’s just gonna be like \Kkk — kg-kg-kg-kg-kgkg…\ Brian (interrupting): …Kg-kg-kg-kg-ha-ha-ha! So can I get you gentlemen something more to drink? Or maybe something to nibble on: some pizza shooters, shrimp poppers, or extreme fahitas? Peter: Just coffee. Brian: OK! Sounds like a case of the Mondays… Snff-ha-ha-ha! \ Peter: What If We’re Still Doing This When We’re Fifty? * * * Ulp…I swear it’s funny when they do it in the film when I saw it. ---

“Looks like you’ve been missing work a lot lately, Peter.” “Well, I wouldn’t say I’ve been _missing_ it exactly.” “Let’s move right to Peter Gibbons. Now there’s just a straight shooter with upper-management written all over him” GREAT flick! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by initech \* > **The movie didn’t do well because IMHO it was poorly marketed. The trailers and commercials cast it as a Zany Comedy, when it isn’t really like that. Luckily it’s become pretty popular in the years since.** I agree with you 100%. When it came out, for some reason, I thought it would be just a stupid fluff-piece. I had no interest in seeing it, then or ever. My husband pretty much forced me to watch it, and I’m obviously grateful. I wonder what other movies have been so egregiously mis-marketed? And thanks to you all for explaining that it took place in Texas. I had always guessed Maryland (Columbia area). I couldn’t figure out what a place called “Los Colinas” would be doing in Maryland, though… ---

This is one of my top three movies. Stephen Root was great! My husband had no idea that he was the same guy from _News Radio_ (as well as the voice of Bill on _King of the Hill_). I can really relate to the slight pause before opening the office door because you KNOW you’re going to get shocked. And, of course, the fax machine smackdown. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-i-office-space-i-appreciation-thread/95261.md?page=4)
