: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.
:46:01
Peter, what we'd like to do
is put you into position...
:46:04
to have as many
as four people...
:46:08
working right underneath you.
:46:09
This is a big promotion, Pete.
:46:11
So you're going
to fire Michael and Samir...
:46:14
and give me more money?
:46:18
SLYDELL: Uh-huh.
:46:19
Wow!
:46:22
MICHAEL: Hmm. Yeah.
:46:25
That's it.
That's exactly what I need.
:46:28
Give it to me.
:46:29
Come on, you little fucker,
let's go.
:46:30
That's what I need.
Let's do that.
:46:32
Let's do exactly that,
you little fuck--
:46:35
-Michael.
-Hey.
:46:37
PETER: Listen to me.
:46:41
What are you doing tonight?
:46:44
PETER: Michael, there comes
a point in a man's life...
:46:47
and maybe that time for you
is now...
:46:50
when it doesn't hurt to start
thinking about the future.
:46:54
Uh, no offense there, Peter...
:46:56
but speak for yourself there,
sport.
:46:58
I'm not the one who's been
flakin' out at work.
