Elevator Girl Page #6

Synopsis: Succesful Boston lawyer Jonathan McIntyre is a fatherless workaholic, who only dates girls recommended as career boosts by his colleague and buddy Nick Sweeney. At Jonathan's festive inauguration as the law firm's youngest full partner, he meets in the elevator Liberty Taylor, the caterer, who still refuses to pick one of her jobs for every day of the week. Encouraged enterprisingly by his secretary Rosemary, they date and start falling in love. As Nick predicted, her lack of ambition and social skills prove rather a big obstacle for his future.

ABOUT THE BELL CORPORATION

AFTER-- AFTER WE LOGGED ON

OVER 1,000 HOURS ON THAT DEAL.

HE'S NERVOUS

THAT THE COMPANY'S

NOT GONNA BE HIS COMPANY

ANYMORE.

HE NEEDS THIS,

BUT HE WISHES HE DIDN'T.

WOW, TO CREATE A COMPANY

AND THEN HAVE TO SELL IT.

I MEAN,

THAT MUST BE HARD, RIGHT?

IF IT WERE US,

WE'D BE AMBUSHING KELLER

WITH POSITIVE PRESS

ABOUT BELL.

WELL, WE'VE DONE

OUR DUE DILIGENCE ON THIS THING.

I MEAN, HE KNOWS ABOUT BELL.

IT'S COLD FEET,

THAT'S ALL IT IS.

BUT THE BOTTOM LINE

IS THAT THEY'RE

A GOOD COMPANY.

I MEAN, THEY'VE MADE

SOME NOTICEABLE:

CHARITABLE DONATIONS THIS YEAR,

NOT TO MENTION:

AN EVEN MORE NOTICEABLE PROFIT.

PEOPLE LIKE WORKING WITH THEM.

HE SHOULD WANT TO BE

IN BED WITH THEM.

I THINK HE'D FIND I RATHER COZY.

SO YOU'RE NOT A LAWYER,

CYNTHIA?

BUT YOU KNOW:

SO MUCH ABOUT THIS.

WELL, I'M THE VICE PRESIDEN OF A PUBLIC RELATIONS FIRM.

AND WITH AN ANALYSIS

LIKE THAT,

MAYBE WE SHOULD HIRE

YOU OURSELVES, HUH?

AS IF YOU COULD AFFORD IT.

- YOU HAVE NO IDEA

WHAT I CAN AFFORD.

OH, UM, SORRY.

GUESS I LIKED IT.

IT'S JUST...SURPRISING.

YEAH, BUT I'M REALLY HAPPY.

HEY.

- HEY.

EXCUSE ME.

- DID YOU MISS ME?

- TERRIBLY.
