Nine to Five/YMMV

Crowning Moment of Awesome. Doralee's angry speech finding out Hart had been telling people they'd been having an affair.

Doralee: So, you've been tellin' everybody I've been sleepin' with ya, huh? Well that explains it! That's why these people treat me like some dime-store floozy. They think I'm screwin' the boss! Oooh, and you just love it, don't you? It gives you some sort of cheap thrill like knockin' over pencils and pickin' up papers! Get your scummy hands offa me! Look I've been straight with you since the first day I got here, and I've put up with all of your pinchin' and starin' and chasin' me around the desk because I need this job. But this is the last straw! Look, I've got a gun out there in my purse. Up until now I've been forgivin' and forgettin' because of the way I was brought up, but I'll tell you one thing. If you ever say another word about me or make another indecent proposal, I'm gonna get that gun of mine, and I'm gonna change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot! And don't think I can't do it.

- It's Hart's whimper when she says she has a gun that really brings it home.
Values Resonance: many of the reforms the secretaries introduce, such as decorating cubicles and less formal dress codes, have been adopted by most businesses since.
