:44:00
BILL: Uh, I wasn't aware
of a meeting with them.
:44:02
PETER:
Yeah, they called me at home.
:44:09
BILL: That sounds good, Peter.
:44:10
And, uh, we'll go ahead and...
:44:13
get this all fixed up for you.
:44:15
Great.
:44:16
[Mumbles]
:44:21
Hi, Milton. What's happening?
:44:24
[Mumbles]
:44:25
I--I didn't receive
my paycheck this week.
:44:27
Uh, you're going to have to talk
to payroll about that.
:44:32
I did and they said--
:44:33
BILL:
Milt, we're gonna go ahead...
:44:35
and move you downstairs
into storage "B."
:44:39
No, l--I...
:44:41
BILL: New people are coming,
and we need the space.
:44:45
MILTON: But there's no space--
:44:46
BILL: So if you could go ahead
and pack your stuff...
:44:50
and move it down there...
:44:52
that would be terrific.
:44:54
OK?
:44:55
MILTON: Uh, excuse me...
:44:57
I believe you have my stapler,
please. Hmm.
:45:03
PORTER: You've been missing
a lot of work lately.
:45:05
PETER: I wouldn't say
I've been missing it, Bob.
:45:09
PORTER: Good one.
:45:10
SLYDELL:
Oh, that's terrific, Peter.
:45:12
I'm sure you've--you've heard
some of the rumors...
:45:15
circulating
around the hallways...
:45:17
about how we're going to do
a little "housecleaning..."
:45:20
with some software people.
:45:21
Well, Bob, I have heard that.
You gotta do what you gotta do.
:45:25
PORTER: We'll be getting rid
of these people.
:45:27
First, Mr. Samir Naga...
:45:31
SLYDELL: Naga...
:45:33
PORTER: Naga-gonna work here
anymore, anyway.
:45:36
And Mr. Mike Bolton.
Nobody's gonna miss him.
:45:40
You're gonna layoff
Samir and Michael?
:45:41
PORTER: Yeah. We're gonna bring
in some entry-level graduates.
:45:44
Farm some work out to Singapore,
that's the usual deal.
:45:46
SLYDELL: It's standard
operating procedure.
:45:47
PETER: Do they know this yet?
:45:50
SLYDELL: No. No, of course not.
:45:52
We find it's always better
to fire people on a Friday.
:45:55
Studies have
statistically shown...
:45:57
there's less chance
of an incident...
:45:59
if you do it at the end
of the week.
