Merry or married?

In Office Space, does Milton say the squirrels are 'married' or 'merry'?

Greasy and I were debating this morning.

OFFICE SPACE script

MILTON
I, I don't care if they, if they lay me off either, because I, I told
Bill that if he moves my desk one more time, then, then I'm quitting.
I'm going to quit. And I told Dom too because they've moved my desk
four times. I used to be by the window, where I could see the squirrels
and they were merry. But then they switched from the Swingline to the
Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline. (he's holding his red
Swingline) (Camera pans to Peter) They have my staples for the Boston
and I kept the staples from the Swingline stapler.

Wait...it WASNT married? This just changed my view on Office Space

I always thought it was married. Fuck! Milton isn't as dumb as I thought.

I can't tell you how many times I've argued with people over this, hahah. Seriously, it's funny how this showed up on here.

I say merry. A lot of people have told me married.

Greasy wrong!? No. Can't be. He knows all.

[greasy]

Does Milton strike you as someone who makes sense?!?!?!


Also look up the definition of eat/eating. Chewing is a part of eating, you and the rest of the people arguing with me over the weekend lose.

eat: to take in through the mouth as food : ingest, chew, and swallow in turn

What was the argument again? I don't recall.

What was the argument again? I don't recall.

It was at the breakfast table and Josh, Adam, Mark, and maybe a couple others were saying that Kevin ate the moth. I said he did not technically eat it, he just swallowed it. They said that it is considered eating it. They were wrong.

 

[Ti28]

I still say married!

 

[Chester Copperpot]

He may not be right in the head but he enunciates his words fairly well.

Merry.

 

[greasy]

I still say married!

AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It just seemed to us that there was no reason to differentiate between the two. I don't ask my son if he wants to 'swallow' some applesauce. I ask him if he wants to eat some. He doesn't chew it, so technically he isn't 'eating' it.

Holy shit it sounds like he said "married."

 

[radioguy6]

still sounds like married. I love that movie, still makes me laugh everytime. "if they take my stapler again, i, i'll i, i'm going to, going to have to set the building on fire...."
