A 54-second clip from the film Office Space in which two coworkers talk about what they would do with a million dollars. The answers contrast blue-collar and white-collar attitudes toward work.

Mostly a joke reference in threads about layoffs, idleness and wealth, with one commenter sincerely recommending the clip for its contrast of work attitudes.

Highly recommend to watch the clip from the movie Office Space (only 54 sec long) [1] The guy with the moustache is a blue collar worker and the other one is white collar worker (actually in Tech/IT) [1] [VIDEO]

> People who are driven and smart don't suddenly earn their first $5m go off and buy an annuity I guess I must not be driven, because I would. Or at least something close enough to that. $5m just earning interest at 5%ish is way more income than I need to live the lifestyle I want. I'd buy a few acres in the middle of no where, build a nice house, grow a big garden, raise my daughter as a nice family man and never work again. Obligatory "Office Space" scene on "what would you do with a million dollars": [VIDEO]

Lawrence: Well, what about you now, what would you do [if you had a million dollars]? Peter: ... Nothing. Lawrence: Nothing, huh? Peter: I would relax, I would sit on my ass all day ... I would do nothing. Lawrence: Well you don’t need a million dollars to do nothing, man. [VIDEO]
