By the times speakers commit communication, the non-observance to the four Grice’s principles might occurs for some purposes. By observing the types and context of violations of maxims, it can be helpful for discourse interpretation which is beyond the literal level. This study has conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach. The author transcribed the conversation and identified the utterances that violated the maxim considering the movie's whole context. The results showed 5 data, and only three types of maxims were violated- the maxim of quantity, quality, and relation. Moreover, the data show the dominance occurrence owned by the opting-out maxim.
