• Tess McGill : Uhm... when I saw you in here on the phone with your feet up, I figured this was your office.

  Alice Baxter : [slightly embarrassed]  I'm sorry about that, Ms. McGill. It won't happen again... ever.

  Tess McGill : It's O.K..

  Alice Baxter : Maybe now would be a good time to go over what you expect of me.

  Tess McGill : [clears her throat]  I, uh, I expect you to call me Tess. I don't expect you to fetch me coffee unless you're getting some for yourself. And, um, the rest we'll just make up as we go along. O.K.?

  Alice Baxter : [smiling]  O.K.. I'll be right outside if you need anything.

  [leaves Tess's office] 

• Alice Baxter : Uhm, Ms. McGill?

  Tess McGill : Yes.

  Alice Baxter : [pointing to private office]  That's your desk... in there...

  Tess McGill : I don't think so.

  Alice Baxter : Oh, yes. I sit out here.

  Tess McGill : Sorry, I thought the secretary would sit out here...

  Alice Baxter : That's right, I'm the secretary. If it's O.K., I prefer "assistant".
