Happy Birthday dear , Happy Birthday to you! Did you make a
wish?
Tess
Yeah.

No lunch. I got speech class.

What'dya need speech class for? You talk fine. All right. I'll
pick you up at 5:00 and we'll ride back together.
Tess
I can't. I've got an Emerging Market Seminar at 5:30.

Geez, it's your birthday! Can't they merge without you just this
once?
Tess
What time is my surprise party?
Cyndy
What?
Tess
C'mon.

Ah, I'm supposed to take you to drinks, have you home at 7:00.

Okay. I'll cut out early and be home at 7:15, okay?

Thank you very much.
SCENE 3
Woman
Hi Tess!
Tess
Good morning...Good morning....Mr. Turkel's line. Um, who's
calling, please? Hold on a moment. Mr. Lutz?
Mr. Lutz
No.
Tess
Um, hold on a second, all right?
SCENE 4
Tess
Mr. Turkel? Mr. Turkel?
Mr. Turkel
Huh?
Tess
Um, Mr. Alagash...Hi....Uh, Mr. Alagash is on the phone and he's
real, real anxious to talk to you.
Mr. Turkel
You couldn't maybe get him to hold for a minute?!
Tess
Well, you got him in Dentitech, remember? The one I told you to
go short on? And it's fine, but he don't want to hear it from a
secretary.
Mr. Turkel
There's no paper!
Tess
What?
Mr. Turkel
There's no goddamned paper in this stall! Get me some?...Thanks.
You're very kind.
Tess
You're short on Dentitech at 18 and he'll be right here.
SCENE 5
Tess
See Dentitech closing at 17 and an 1/8? Come Monday I'll bet
it's 16 and still sittin' there.
Mr. Lutz
How do you figure?
Tess
Well, they went public at 23 with one product, plaque removing
mouthwash. You know, you rinse, you get this glob of plaque you
gotta spit out. I mean, maybe it'll be big, but I say that no
one ever got rich overestimating what the American public wants
to taste.
Mr. Lutz
Maybe.
Mr. Turkel
Uh, before I run Tess, I have some good news and some bad news.
The straight shot, Tessy, is...they turned you down for the Entre
Program again.
Tess
Why?
Mr. Lutz
We did all we could, Tessy.
Man
I mean, you have to remember, you're up against Harvard and
Wharton graduates. What do you got, some night school, some
secretarial time on your sheet?
Mr. Lutz
Christians and lions, Tess.
Man
That's right.
Tess
And the good news?
Man
Uh, Dave has a friend.
Mr. Lutz
Bob in Arbitrage. You're so hungry, they're looking for hungry
down there!
Tess
Really?
Mr. Lutz
Well, hungry is the name of the game down there! Bob's looking
for a new assistant and wants to meet you for a drink.
Tess
This isn't another set up?
Mr. Lutz
Do I look like a pimp? Bob says he's looking for hungry, I think
to myself, "Tess." The rest is up to you!
Tess
Bob in Arbitrage.
Mr. Lutz
Bob Speck. Extension 256. He's expecting your call. Go get 'em
Tessy!
Women
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!
Man
Oh no! You should have told us! Congratulations, Tessy!
Women
Happy Birthday dear Tess, Happy Birthday to you!
Tess
Thanks.
SCENE 6
Tess
Mick?
People
Surprise! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
SCENE 7
Mick
You look great!...Come here.
Tess
You know Mick, just once I could go for like a sweater or some
earrings, you know? A present that I can actually wear outside
of this apartment.
SCENE 8
Tess
So, is this where you usually meet for drinks?
Bob
Hmm, this is a big week! It's a super week! We are celebrating!
Tess
So, Arbitrage. Talk about adrenaline, huh? What do you think is
the most important quality for a great Arbitrager?
Bob
Well, we'll go through all that at the hotel.
Tess
The hotel?
