... How dare you give that promotion to *Bob Enright* instead of me! I've got *five years*...
Something wrong with the clip?

Violet Newstead:
[Hart has recently stolen Violet's plan for color-coding CC's accounts, presenting said plan as his own; Violet let him do so, hoping that he'll compensate by giving her a promotion scheduled for the near future. But, instead...]
... How dare you give that promotion to *Bob Enright* instead of me! I've got *five years* seniority over him!
Franklin Hart, Jr.:
I know that. Don't go flying off the handle, now...
Violet Newstead:
For Chrissakes, I *trained* him - just like I trained *you*!
Franklin Hart, Jr.:
I know that, too, but the Company...
Violet Newstead:
Don't you give me that song-and-dance about the Company! It was *your* decision; *you* promoted him; just tell me why.
Franklin Hart, Jr.:
First of all, Bob does have a college degree...
Violet Newstead:
What kind? Is it a Master's Degree, like mine? Or is it just a Bachelor's Degree?
Franklin Hart, Jr.:
...It's an Associate's Degree.
Violet Newstead:
Oh, *brilliant*! While he's earning his pathetic little *Associate's* Degree, I'm working my hands to the bone for this Company!
Franklin Hart, Jr.:
Second of all, Bob does have a wife and a newborn child to support...
Violet Newstead:
And *I'm* just a *widow*, with *four teenagers*? Since when does that make a difference, anyhow? Especially to you; you can't stand kids! That's not exactly classified information around here.
Franklin Hart, Jr.:
Violet. My hands are tied. *The Company needs a MAN in this position*. Surveys show that clients would rather deal with men when it comes to figures.
Violet Newstead:
Oh, now I get it. I lose a promotion because of some idiotic, biased *survey*. The Boys in the Club are all threatened and intimidated by any woman who doesn't ride at the back of the proverbial bus.
Franklin Hart, Jr.:
Spare me the Women's Lib crap, all right? Now, I know how you feel, and I understand.
Violet Newstead:
How could you understand, when you've never been passed over for being the wrong gender?

- It works!
- You did it.
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.378
- What?
- Now, don't go flying off the handle.
00:00:12.586 --> 00:00:15.214
You gave the promotion to Bob Enright?
00:00:15.423 --> 00:00:17.841
- I've got seniority over him.
- I know.
00:00:18.998 --> 00:00:22.221
- For chrissake, I trained him.
- I know, but the company feels...
00:00:22.043 --> 00:00:26.309
The company, bullshit. It's your
decision. You promoted him. Why?
00:00:26.517 --> 00:00:30.001
In the first place,
Bob does have a college degree.
00:00:30.027 --> 00:00:33.941
Brilliant! While he's at college
getting his degree...
00:00:34.149 --> 00:00:36.234
...I'm working my butt off.
00:00:36.443 --> 00:00:40.572
- And he does have a family to support.
- And I don't?
00:00:40.739 --> 00:00:43.951
- What does that matter?
- My hands are tied.
00:00:44.117 --> 00:00:45.994
The company needs a man.
00:00:46.203 --> 00:00:49.372
Clients would rather deal with men
when it comes to figures.
00:00:49.581 --> 00:00:53.668
I lose a promotion because
of some idiot prejudice.
00:00:53.876 --> 00:00:59.466
You're intimidated by any woman
that won't sit at the back of the bus.
00:00:59.674 --> 00:01:04.022
Spare me the women's lib crap.
I know how you feel. I understand.
00:01:04.428 --> 00:01:08.001
- You understand ziloh.
- I understand I'm still the boss.
00:01:08.999 --> 00:01:14.188
You might be valuable out there, but get
ahold of yourself. I won't take this.
00:01:14.355 --> 00:01:17.149
- Goddamn it. Doralee, get in here!
- Okay.
00:01:17.316 --> 00:01:19.401
I told you to fix the chair.
00:01:19.061 --> 00:01:23.447
Okay. But I'm gonna tell you
one thing before I go:
00:01:23.614 --> 00:01:26.742
Don't you ever refer to me
as your "girl" again.
00:01:26.095 --> 00:01:31.538
What are you talking about?
What are we gonna do about this chair?
00:01:31.747 --> 00:01:36.292
I'll tell you what I'm talking about.
I'm no girl, I'm a woman. Do you hear?
00:01:36.502 --> 00:01:40.001
I'm not your wife or your mother
or even your mistress.
00:01:40.756 --> 00:01:43.884
- What?
- I am your employee.
00:01:44.999 --> 00:01:50.598
As such, I expect to be treated equally,
with a little dignity and respect.
00:01:50.806 --> 00:01:54.031
- What do you mean, "mistress"?
- Never mind, she's upset.
00:01:54.001 --> 00:01:57.813
The whole company knows
you two are having an affair.
00:01:58.006 --> 00:02:04.654
- Who's saying we're having an affair?
- Who's been saying it? He has.
00:02:05.863 --> 00:02:07.001
What?
00:02:09.999 --> 00:02:13.001
- Violet, where are you going?
- I'm gonna get drunk.
00:02:13.062 --> 00:02:15.999
Attagirl.
00:02:15.999 --> 00:02:18.625
You tell everyone
I'm sleeping with you?
00:02:18.833 --> 00:02:22.999
That explains why they treat me
like some dime-store floozy.
00:02:22.999 --> 00:02:26.001
- They think I'm screwing the boss.
- That's not it.
00:02:26.001 --> 00:02:28.999
You love it, don't you?
00:02:28.999 --> 00:02:33.001
It gives you a thrill, like knocking
over pencils and picking up papers.
00:02:33.999 --> 00:02:37.602
Get your scummy hands off of me.
I've been straight with you.
00:02:37.001 --> 00:02:42.999
I put up with your pinching and staring
and chasing me. I need this job...
00:02:42.273 --> 00:02:45.001
...but this is the last straw!
- Let's just sit down and...
00:02:45.001 --> 00:02:50.001
I got a gun in my purse and, up to now,
I've been forgiving and forgetting.
00:02:51.001 --> 00:02:56.006
If you ever say another word about me
or make another indecent proposal...
00:02:56.245 --> 00:03:01.625
...I'm gonna get that gun and change you
from a rooster to a hen with one shot!
00:03:02.001 --> 00:03:05.999
Don't think I cant do it!
00:03:08.001 --> 00:03:10.013
Shit.
00:03:14.387 --> 00:03:17.999
- Where are you going?
- I need a drink.
00:03:17.999 --> 00:03:20.602
I'm taking the rest of the day off.
00:03:21.001 --> 00:03:23.999
Attagirl.
00:03:25.273 --> 00:03:26.649
What do you want?
00:03:26.858 --> 00:03:33.001
This is important. I just heard one of
the girls commit a serious infraction.
00:03:33.001 --> 00:03:36.999
- What?
- Maria Delgado was in the restroom...
00:03:36.999 --> 00:03:42.999
...speaking to some girl, when I
overheard her reveal her salary...
00:03:42.999 --> 00:03:45.001
...and make estimates
of yours and mine.
00:03:46.001 --> 00:03:48.999
Get rid of her. Dismiss her.
00:03:48.088 --> 00:03:52.001
It isn't as if she hasn't been warned.
In my memo...
00:03:53.861 --> 00:03:56.012
Did you hear what I said?
Fire the bitch!
00:03:56.022 --> 00:03:57.804
What?
00:03:58.005 --> 00:04:02.993
- I don't believe it! Fired for that?
- It's okay.
00:04:02.268 --> 00:04:06.999
- I wanted to spend time with my kids.
- But it's so unfair.
00:04:07.999 --> 00:04:11.007
- We've got to do something.
- Sure, let's all revolt.
00:04:11.001 --> 00:04:17.001
Don't you get in trouble for me. It's
not worth it. I'll find another job.
