• Personnel Director : Tess, Tess, Tess, Tess. You don't get ahead in this world by calling your boss a pimp.

  Tess McGill : Well, he is.

• Personnel Director : Been lookin at your file here. This the third time in six months I had to place you.

  Tess McGill : Wasn't my fault.

  Personnel Director : Where've I heard THAT before?

  Tess McGill : Ruth, lookit - I'm thirty years old. Took me five years of night school, but I got my degree and I got it with honors; I *know* I could do a job. I mean, you ask any of my bosses - even, even Lutz! - if Tess McGill hasn't called a few.

  Personnel Director : YOU ask 'em. I don't think they're gonna sing your praises, Tess.
