But don’t forget the Alamo!
Like that? 
Also, just saying that it used to be his office still had nothing to do with Linguini being filed in the folder with Gusteau’s will. 
Brainfreeze. You’re right. I’m with your thoery now.
Hmm…? I wondered that too, but it doesn’t get to me.
But A113, why not just say “I dunno…” or something similar? It is too odd of a thing to say…
To remind the viewer that Guestau isn’t really there.
Well, sometimes “I don’t know” looks like spam.
B-on-T
Maybe it’s his way of showing he has no idea, and kinda telling the audience he really isn’t Gusteau himself, just Remy’s imagination.
I am very surprised that, not only have I wondered the same thing as I watched it today, but I had a guess this thread would be about that line in question.
I think it was mostly Gusteau remembering to himself, since he constantly refers to himself being dead and part of Remy’s imagination.
I never really understood that line either. But I assumed it meant like “This was my office, where would you expect employee info to be?” but you’re right, it still doesnt really answer the question.
Actually, to be fair, Remy didn’t know it was Guesteau’s office. He’s probably never been in there much, conidering Skinner is most of the time (plotting new frozen food products). Sure, Remy could’ve placed two and two together, but as the line he throws us “a cook’s work is never done” 
And since this Guesteau was a figment of Remy’s, it wouldn’t have know the answer. And the surprise we see of the announcement only benefits the theory. This Guesteau Remy, in small terms, “made up” as a companion when he had none. So it didn’t retain knowledge Remy himself didn’t have, and that extends rather well as it reminds Remy that he never pretended to be a rat/chef.
it probably said what Remy was thinking. “…filed with your will?” and Remy could be thinking “this is Skinner’s office…used to be Guesteau’s”. So in his head, projected kind-of as Guesteau, was reminding him.
I think he just did not want (or coudn’t) answer the question so he changed the subject.
yeah that is a weird line.
Gusteau only knows as much as Remy knows.
Upon Remy discovering Gusteau’s Will, that’s when Remy finds out it used to be his office, and then directly after that’s what comes out of Gusteau’s mouth because that was what popped in Remy’s mind.
good point, D_G. That’s what I always thought, too. Still, that line shouldn’t have been in there. It’s just awkward.
Haha, lock up the topic now, DG just hit the nail on the head.
I knew he said it because Remy didn’t know why Linguini was filed with his will, but I didn’t think about Gesteau saying it because it was the first thing that popped into Remy’s head.
Nice one 
Maybe he was just remembering his life before he answered the question.
i like that answer the best. I think he just got a little sentimental and looked around at his office. I think he also stated that it used to be his office, so he would have no idea why Linguini would be filed w/ his will.
I agree with you saying that he’s just a figment of imagination so he just said something that remy knows already ! It’s kinda like in video games when you have a mission you already talked to the guy and when you go talk to him to see if he has another information he just says a thing you already know…
Actually, I’ve been reading the script to fill the void of not having the movie (I’ve been wanting to watch it for SO LONG). And it says, on page 85:
"REMY: …your will–!
GUSTEAU PHOTO: This used to be my office."
And when Remy asks why Linguini was filed with Gusteau’s will, Remy reads the letter from Renata, and says “HE’S YOUR SON???” to which Gusteau replies “I… have a… SON?”
I’m new here, so…
Okay, I am watching the movie, and the script was obviously wrong, unlike I remember…so, my bad…so what you guys said was right. Anyway, sorry for mixing your heads up, and mine, as well. Anyway, I guess what one of you said was right - that Gusteau kept all employees filed in his office…okay, I’m gonna go…finish the movie…
