A scene from Working Girl 1988
Cynthia

Look, all I'm saying is, if you're so smart, why don't you act smart and save your ass while you still can. Else they're gonna find out, you're not gonna have your job, or any job. You're outta your man and your home already!

Tess McGill

I'm gonna come clean as soon as I get my end set up. I swear. I know what I'm doing.

Cynthia

Yeah, so do I... screwing up your life.

Tess McGill

No, I'm trying to make it better! I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life working my ass off and getting nowhere just because I followed rules that I had nothing to do with setting up, okay?
