Quotes
-
David Grief : I could swear I saw all your girls downstairs hard at work.
Lavinia Timoto : Good.
David Grief : What did it cost you?
Lavinia Timoto : I have nothing against unions, especially when the workers are being exploited.
David Grief : Which, of course, would *never* apply to your girls.
Lavinia Timoto : I had my own list of demands. In return for the minimum wage, there'd be set hours - none of this come in when you feel like it, leave when you want. No afternoon naps, no socializing with the customers...
David Grief : Ohhh-ho-ho.
Lavinia Timoto : And, in the interest of a democratic system, I proposed they pool all their tips and divide them equally. After they all stopped screaming, "Unfair!" we decided things were just fine the way they are.
David Grief : I had no idea you were such a talented negotiator.
Lavinia Timoto : You're not the only one with secrets.
