Tess
Okay.
Ruth
Tess. This is the last time I can help you. Four strikes,
you're out.
SCENE 11
Tess
Tess McGill for Katherine Parker's office.
Woman
It's the last desk...at the end of the aisle.
Katherine
Hi. I'm Katherine Parker. You must be Tess.
Tess
Right.
Katherine
Oh, great bunny!
Tess
Um, I don't usually have a bunny on my desk. It was my birthday
a few days ago.
Katherine
No kidding? Mine's next Tuesday. How old?
Tess
30.
Katherine
Really? Well I'll be 30 next Tuesday. We're practically twins.
Tess
Except that I'm older.
Katherine
Just barely.
Tess
I've never worked for someone who is younger than me before. Or
for a woman.
Katherine
Well, there's a first time for everything. That's not going to
be a problem, is it Tess?
Tess
No.
Katherine
Good. Why don't you pour us a couple coffees and come on inside.
I'm light, no sugar.
SCENE 12
Katherine
The stock is at 38, the tender is at 56....Come in....Yeah, what
do we do about that? Well, I just checked my three. What are
yours? Uh huh, yeah, I have that one. Well, I think he's in an
underwater position. All right, so that's our first and second
call and then we'll see where we are....Right. I'll count the
minutes. Bye....Thanks. So, Tess...a few ground rules. The way
I look at it, you are my link with the outside world. People's
impression of me starts with you. You're tough when it's
warranted, accommodating when you can be, you're accurate, you're
punctual, and you never make a promise you can't keep. I'm never
on another line, I'm in a meeting. I consider us a team Tess,
and as such we have a uniform: simple, elegant, impeccable.
"Dress shabbily, they notice the dress. Dress impeccably, they
notice the woman." Coco Chanel.
Tess
Um, how do I look?
Katherine
You look terrific. You might want to rethink the jewelry....I
want your input Tess. I welcome your ideas and I like to see
hard work rewarded. It's a two-way street on my team. Am I
making myself clear?
Tess
Yes Katherine.
Katherine
And call me Katherine.
Tess
Okay.
Katherine
So, let's get to work, shall we? This department's profile last
year was damn pitiful. Our team has got its work cut out for
it....Okay, thanks.
SCENE 13
Woman
Damn! I forgot my pills again! Damn! It's the third time this
month! Jill, did you hear about that shot they got in Europe?
Jill
Yeah, they're giving it to women.
Woman
Yeah, to women! They're givin' it to in their arm and it's good
for 5 years! I tell you, these damn pills, I'm always forgettin'
em.
