Quote:
Smith: Look, would you two just leave us alone so I can rant at Morpheus about how much I hate this place? Brown and Jones: Eh? Smith: Er, I mean, go fetch the Comfy Chair. Brown: GASP! Use the Comfy Chair before using the Cushions? We've never done it that way before! Smith: Good idea. Fetch both. That ought to give me enough time. (This next one is meant as a follow-up to the end of my first suggestion in the previous block) Smith: *Sniff* You don't understand, Morpheus. You CAN'T understand what it's like to work in this miserable dead-end job, with no respect, no decent pay or vacation time, not even a coffee mug with the company's logo to call your own. Nothing but a bunch of smelly humans scurrying around mindlessly like so many microbes. It stinks. And I want out. But early retirement isn't an option for me while there's still work to be done. (and so on...)
