:08:02
I just, um-- So--
:08:05
What is your life like?
I mean, do you have any hobbies?

:08:09
- I have a meeting in 15 minutes, so--
- I-I-I-I--

:08:13
Not-- I didn't mean to ask
about your marital status.

:08:16
That's none of my business. Maybe
you're-- It's a touchy point with you.

:08:20
You're possibly divorced or widowed.
:08:22
Maybe your husband committed suicide.
I could understand that.

:08:26
Mr. Magruder hired me to streamline
the office, and I'm going to.

:08:31
But if something is not broken, you know
what I say? I say, why fix it?

:08:36
There's a reason North Coast has slipped
from the top five insurance companies.

:08:39
There's an enormous amount
of waste and duplication.

:08:42
Yeah, not-- not in my department.
:08:44
There's not a single department
that couldn't be run more
efficiently or economically.

:08:47
I'm not even sure North Coast
wouldn't be better off not carrying...

:08:50
an investigative division and just
farming out each case privately.

:08:55
[ Stammers ]
:08:58
Would it be possible to meet at some
point and have a drink and discuss that?

:09:04
- We are having a drink.
- [ Exhales ]

:09:06
Look, I don't think you know
what you're talking about.

:09:09
I think you came in here
like a steamroller--

:09:12
You felt threatened by me
from the first day I got on this job.

:09:15
Not only was I an efficiency
expert and a challenge to your
little state within a state,

:09:19
but I'm not one of those windup dolls
you can tickle at the water cooler.

:09:22
I'm smarter than you. I'm faster.
:09:25
I can see right through you.
You're right to feel threatened by me.

:09:28
I... am threatened by you?
:09:32
It's fascinating, as a female
executive, how many men I meet
with a fragile masculinity.

:09:38
A fragile masculinity?
:09:40
You make one more crack about
my religion, and woman or no woman--

:09:43
- I have to go.
- Hey, listen, honey,
- let me level with you here.

:09:48
Despite all your high falutin talk
about streamlining the office,

:09:51
what you really need is
a good old-fashioned roll in the hay.

:09:55
Ha! You wouldn't know
which end is up.

:09:57
Well, in your case,
it would be hard to tell.
