not the practical, hard-nosed business
experience we're looking for.

:06:04
If you'd joined our training program out
of high school, you'd be qualified now.

:06:07
Then why did I go to college?
:06:09
Had fun, didn't you?
:06:14
What impresses me most...
:06:16
is the amount of experience you picked
up while still attending college.

:06:19
Well, ma'am, I knew all
those years of college...

:06:22
would be worthless without practical,
hard-nosed business experience.

:06:26
"Assistant personnel manager,
J. Hall Communications.

:06:29
Junior purchasing agent,
Midland Furniture.

:06:32
Vice President in Charge of
Production, Central Manufacturing".

:06:35
Outstanding.
:06:40
You're not gonna tell me I have
too much experience, are you?

:06:42
Certainly not, you're
perfect for the job.

:06:45
- Great!
- Except...

:06:46
No. No exceptions.
:06:49
I want this job.
I need it. I can do it.

:06:51
Everywhere I've been today
there's been something wrong.

:06:53
Too young, too old,
too short, too tall.

:06:56
Whatever the exception is,
I can fix it.

:06:58
I can be older. I can be taller.
I can be anything.

:07:00
Can you be
a minority woman?

:07:04
- Mom, I'm doin' great.
- Is it dirty? Are the people rude?

:07:08
No, this town is terrific.
The people are really nice.

:07:11
- That's good. What about your job?
- Job? Hey!

:07:14
I got a fantastic office,
got a gorgeous secretary. The works.

:07:18
We don't care if she's gorgeous.
Is she any good?

:07:20
- What?
- You heard me. Can she type?

:07:23
Ma, of course she can type.
:07:25
Some can't, you know. Is it safe there?
You haven't been robbed?

:07:28
Ma, will you quit worryin'.
There is no danger.

:07:31
- But New York is...
- New York is like Kansas intensified.

:07:37
- What?
- What's that? Something the matter?

:07:39
No, Mom.
That's just the TV.

:07:42
- It sounds so real.
- It's Miami Vice.

:07:44
Can you turn the sound down?
It's too loud.

:07:46
Ma, it's broken.
The knob came off in my hand.

:07:49
Goodness. Well, what about
Uncle Howard? Did you call him?

:07:54
Uncle Howard!
Yeah, the phone number.

:07:56
Well, you still have
the number, don't you?

:07:58
Oh, yeah.
I got it right here.
