- I could now.

- I sign your name better than you do.

- I'm serious.

Understand? I'm crazy about you.

You're all I think about.

I've told you before,

I'm a married woman.

- I'm married too. That makes it perfect.

- Mr. Hart.

- Please. I want you. I need you.

- What are you doing, Mr. Hart?

Call me Frank.

Frank?

What are you doing on the floor?

Nothing. I tripped.

Hit my knee on the damn coffee table.

- That's awful. Did you hurt yourself?

- No.

What are you doing here?

- You know I hate it when you come here.

- Frank, don't be mad at me.

I came from the travel agency.

They have the most wonderful cruises.

- Hello, Doralee.

- Hi, Mrs. Hart.

- How are you?

- I'm fine. You?

- What a lovely scarf.

- It's a present from your husband.

Frank, that was so thoughtful of you.

I'm just glad he appreciates you.

Put it on.

It's absolutely adorable.

And you are so attractive.

You're sweet. I appreciate that.

Doralee, that'll be all.

You can finish the letter later.

Bye. Let me show you these

brochures. It won't take a second.

- You did promise to go.

- Right.

This is a lovely one.

It's an Italian line.

- Looks like the Love Boat, doesn't it?

- It does.

- Four weeks of sunshine, Frank.

- Four weeks? Are you out of your mind?

You think I'll spend four weeks of

my life drifting around on that boat?

Well, I'll be damned. Just look who

got paid off for services rendered.

That's the scarf you bought.

Who cares? I suppose she deserves it.

I'll bet you can't wait to see

the Xerox room.

Rush memos are always done on

regulation Consolidated letterhead.

So you place it in here, 8.5 x 11.

See that?

Close the bin firmly.

Turn on the power.

Several people have lost their hearing

in this room.

Select a number of copies, make this

a little darker and start to print.

If anything's wrong, watch this panel.

It tells you what to do.

- I think I can handle it.

- Okay. I'll leave you to it.

You're too much. Your wife's going on

vacation. There'll be no stopping you.

Wait till you hear this

new little scheme I've got going.

Come on in here a minute.

What the hell is going on here?

- I'm sorry. It was going too fast.

- Too fast?

- Why didn't you just shut it off?

- Great scheme you got here.

- Right here.

- I'm sorry. I thought I could keep up.

Weren't you checked out on this

machine? Any moron could operate it.

- I was.

- Yeah.

- I know what to do now.

- You do?

Do it, or your first day

will be your last. Understand?

- Yes.

- Clean this mess up and get to work.

Yes, sir.

Dick?

Judy.

What are you doing here?

Well, I just dropped by

to give you these papers.
