Tess
I thought you might like this.
Woman
Why, thank you.
Katherine
Tess, would you come in here, please? And bring a notebook.
SCENE 15
Katherine
They already sold off both the paper and the printing divisions.
They sell distribution, too, we're talking real scorched
dirt....Come on in. Tess, this is Ginny. Ginny, Tess.
Tess
Hi.
Katherine
Being new in town, I thought I'd I throw a little cocktail thing
to introduce myself to the department, and Ginny here has some
great ideas. Would you jot them down?
Tess
Sure.
Ginny
The caterer is called "Acme Eats." You can get the number from
information. They do the usual hors d'oeuvres and such. The
"Raging Bull" has a bartender service. And the liquor store on
Broadway and Liberty delivers. Got that, Bess?
Tess
Tess. Yeah, um, if that's the way you want to go.
Katherine
You have another idea?
Tess
Well, I was just reading a thing in "W" about dim sum, these
little Chinese dumplings. There's a restaurant on Mott St. that
does them for cocktail parties.
Katherine
Oh, I just love those little dumplings!
Tess
It might be more fun than the usual tidbits. I have it on my
desk. I could get it.
Ginny
You read "W"?
Tess
I read a lot of things. I mean, you never know where the big
ideas could come from. You know?
Ginny
Well, I guess you're right. If dumplings can be considered a big
idea. Well, that oughta get you started...
Katherine
Ginny, thank you so much!
Ginny
It's back to the gold mines!
Katherine
Right....You'll set those up?
Tess
Right away.
Katherine
Dim sum Tess, I like it...contribution-wise. Keep it up!
SCENE 16
Katherine
Then the chief says, "We will respect your wish. We will give
you an honorable death. But first, keke."
Tess
Excuse me. Excuse me. Dim sum?
Jim
So, come on Katherine. What do you say?
Katherine
Jim...the man who spends every weekend in August glued to his
desk--now that man knows that I can't just sneak out of my own
party. I'll tell you what, though. You get me in on the
Southeast Air divestiture plan, I'll buy you a drink. Bottle of
Crystal, two straws? Deal?
Jim
Okey-dokey!
Tess
Dim sum?
Jim
Hi.
Katherine
Thank you. What a slob.
Tess
You were so smooth with him. I probably would have...
Katherine
Never burn bridges. Today's junior prick, tomorrow's senior
partner! So, how do you think the party's going?
Tess
Pretty well, I think. Should I stop serving now?
Katherine
Hmm, better make one more round.
Tess
Right.
Katherine
I'd love to help you, but...we can't busy the quarterback with
passing out the Gatorade. Arnie, my hero! You've come!
SCENE 17
Katherine
Yep?
