Nine to Five Page #7

---

In the daytime, we have this

little security system.

- I paid for it on your Master Charge.

- You broads are out of your mind.

You can't keep me here a week!

I'm the boss. Don't you think

I might be missed at the office?

Franklin Hart's office.

No, he's not here right now.

Can I help you?

Yes, Mr. Strell.

Judy Bernly, please hold. Judy Bernly,

please hold. Hello, Judy Bernly.

- Violet.

- What can I do you for, Bob?

Would you look at this? I've checked

all over, and I can't make it out.

But Doralee, I want

to talk to him today.

Well, I will tell him.

- He's not here.

- He's not? Well, that's kind of funny.

I thought he was.

Well, he hasn't gone to lunch.

His coat's still here.

Look at that. I've told him a hundred

times this can be very dangerous.

He'll be back. You want to wait?

No, but please tell him it's important

I talk to him today.

I will certainly tell him, Roz.

She is going to be tough.

- The others?

- Piece of cake.

- There were a few questions from Strell.

- I saw those.

And a couple letters.

Other than that, we're fine.

Okay.

Did you want a cup of coffee?

Sorry.

Hello, Mr. Hart. Here's your lunch.

Where's the tray stand

that was here yesterday?

It's behind that pile of stuff.

Doralee, I'll get you for this!

I'll get your ass. I promise.

I don't understand.

Did you give him my message?

Yes, I did. But he left the office

just this second.

But I bet you can

still catch him. Judy?

- Do you see Mr. Hart?

- Yes.

Well, stop him.

Mr. Hart. Mr. Hart.

Mr. Hart.

You just missed him.

- We can't keep that up all week.

- You're right. She's gonna be a problem.

Well, I've got some bad news.

Here's the telex from

head office in New York.

They've started

the computer changeover.

They can't send us the inventory

invoices for Ajax Warehouse...

...for another four to six weeks.

Four to six weeks?

We have to keep Hart

tied up all that time?

- Do we have a choice?

- Yeah, I think we can pull it off.

I never realized how unpopular Hart is.

Nobody wants to see him face to face.

Except Roz.

- What if we sent Roz on vacation?

- That's only two weeks.

We gotta keep her away longer.

Have you heard

of the Aspen Language Center?

It gives very concentrated lessons

in foreign languages.

Why don't we send her there?

That's not half bad. Hart could

write her that it's top-secret.

Consolidated is opening overseas

centers, and they need executives who...

...speak French.

- Would she go?

- Are you kidding? If Hart asked her?

Bonjour.

It was just so easy. I just typed up

this memo and signed Hart's name.

She gets back on the 15th,

and Missy returns on the 24th.

Poor Missy. Don't you feel sorry for

her? I'll have Hart send her flowers.

- How's everything upstairs?

- Very subdued. He's plotting something.

It's gonna be a race

to see if he can get free...

...before we get the invoices

sometime around here.

In fact, I think I'll have Hart let

everybody keep flowers on their desks.

Change some things around that office.

Those rules are so depressing.

It's looking good...

...but if we're gonna do this, why don't

we make changes that really count?

Like sands through the hourglass,

so are the days of our lives.

I'm happy to see you still have

a hearty appetite.

I'll see you tomorrow.

You keep being a good boy,

you'll be out by the end of the week.

- Dick.

- Can I come in?

Thanks. It's cold out there.

- Dick, you're supposed to be in Mexico.

- I was. I came back.

- You can't stay here.

- You're alone, aren't you?

Well, yes. I'm housesitting

for a friend.

Yeah. I've been casing

the house to make sure.

You could spare a cup of coffee for your

freezing old husband, couldn't you?

Ex-husband.

Well, all right. You sit down,

but then you're gonna have to go.

It was no good from the start.

Nothing worked.

She left after the first week.

Call me tomorrow at work. We could

have lunch and talk some more.

I've wanted to see you.

I followed you from the office.

- I thought you were living with someone.

- No.

- What was that?

- Nothing. Probably the cat. I'll check.

- I'll go with you.

- No.

- Judy?

- What?

- You look beautiful as ever.

- Thanks.

Holy sh*t.

Oh, my God.

You give me that.

- Let go.

- Stay away from me.

Stay away. Stay away, or I'll kill you!

Get your hands off of me.

Let me go.

- Let go.

- Help! Let me down!

Judy?

Dick.

Let me down from here, damn it.

If I get my hands on you...

Judy?

Will you shut up?

- What's going on?

- Nothing.

- Who's in that room?

- Nobody.

There's somebody in that room.

Let me see.

Good God!

- Who was that?

- A friend.

Obviously. So that's what

you're into now:
Bondage.

- What's that?

- Bondage, S&M, sex games.

That's right. All of it.

I'm into everything. Get out.

- I can't believe it. Who is that?

- My boss.

- An affair with your boss. Typical.

- Like your affair with your secretary.

- This isn't you. You can't be serious.

- Don't tell me what I can or can't do.

Those days are over. And if I want

to have an affair or play sex games...

...or do M&M's, you can't stop me.

- M&M's?

- As a matter of fact, I smoke pot.

- I see what that kind of living's done!

- I've changed.

And not for the better!

To think I came here tonight

to ask you to come back to me...

Fat chance. Your leaving was the

best thing that ever happened to me!

- Then there's nothing more to say.

- Yes, there is.

Hit the road, buster.

This is where you get off.

What are we gonna do about Roz?

She gets back on Friday.

If she causes any trouble, we'll send

her to that school to learn German.

Forget her. I just talked to New York.

- The invoices will be here Friday.

- Perfect. Three more days. Good.

Driver, would you bring

the bags inside, please?

- Missy.

- Frank, what on earth are you up to?

Operator?

Good morning. Would you find

a number for me, please?

- Hello.

- Doralee, this is Missy Hart.

Frank told me never

to call anybody at the office, but...

...I guess it's okay to call you at home.

I just wanted to thank you.

- Thank me?

- I realized it must have been you...

...who sent me those flowers during

my trip. And you signed Frank's name.

- Well, it was his idea.

- No, it wasn't. I asked him.

- See, that's why I came back early...

- Did you say you've come back?

Yeah, three days ago. Frank sent

me to a hotel for another week.

He's trying out some new exercise

program at the house.

My goodness, you should see

what he's done to our bedroom.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

What?

- I don't believe it.

- Hart must've been free for 3 days.

Call Judy and tell her. If Hart's been

doing what I think, we've been had.

Don't be silly.

He's tied up like always.

Or he's pretending.

You keep a hold of my gun.

You just sit tight till I get there.

Judy?

Judy.

He found your gun.

Wait a minute.

- What happened to the time clock?

- You retired it.

What does that mean?

While you were away,
