Damn it feels good to be a gangster
Thursday, June 8th, 2006Office Space is a great movie. There’s a scene right after the guys discover that their scheme to get back at Initech is stealing many times more money than they had originally intended for it to, and they’re looking for a way to hide the extra cash.
[Scene: Peter’s place. Michael is looking up “money laundering” in the dictionary.]
MICHAEL
Laundering. To clean… No, uh, here it is. To channel money through a source or by an intermediary.
SAMIR
It doesn’t really help us, Michael.
PETER
Ok. We’re looking up money laundering in a dictionary.
MICHAEL
Yeah, well, you guys can both eat my ass, ok?
The Google Trends chart for the query “terrorism” reminds me of this scene.
