Clockwatchers
1997
Margaret: I can sit there and do nothing as good as anyone.
Iris Chapman: Everything is temporary. Everything begins and ends and begins again. When I look ahead, I imagine infinite possible futures repeated like countless photocopies, a thousand blank pages, and in each one I see myself, never hiding, never sitting silently, and never just waiting and waiting and watching the world go by.
Iris Chapman: Sometimes it hits you how quickly the present fades into the past, and you question everything around you. You wonder if anything you'd ever do would matter.
Margaret: You can't fire me! You don't even know my NAME!
Margaret: Oh! You think I'm your little office thief! Well you got me! You finally got me!!
Margaret: The only real challenge with this job, is trying to look busy when there's nothing to do.
Margaret: See that old woman over there? That's me in a few years.
Margaret: Sometimes I feel like I could disappear for weeks, and no one would even notice.
Dianne: I keep a pair of shoes in my desk, and now *one* of them is missing.
