Working Girl (1988)

Katherine Parker: Ugh! What a slob.
Tess McGill: You were so smooth with him.
Katherine Parker: Never burn bridges. Today's junior prick, tomorrow's senior partner.

Alice Baxter: Maybe now would be a good time to go over what you expect of me.
Tess McGill: I expect you to call me Tess. I don't expect you to fetch me coffee unless you're getting some for yourself. And the rest we'll just make up as we go along.

Katharine Parker: The way I look at it, you are my link with the outside world. People's impression of me starts with you. You're accurate and punctual and you never make a promise you can't keep.

Cyn: Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will.

Katherine Parker: Never burn bridges. Today's junior prick, tomorrow's senior partner.

Tess McGill: What if he doesn't?.. pop the question?
Katherine Parker: I really don't think that's a variable. We're in the same city now, I've indicated that I'm receptive to an offer, I've cleared the month of June... and I am, after all, me.

Tess McGill: Oh god - and last night.
Cyn: Yeah, I shouldda checked the milligrams. Live and learn.

Cynthia: Whaddya need speech class for, ya talk fine.

Cynthia: Can I get ya anything? Coffee? Tea? Me?

Jack Trainer: Oren Trask? The man who said, "What if we sliced the bread before we sold it?"

Jack Trainer: You're the first woman I've seen at one of these things that dresses like a woman, not like a woman thinks a man would dress if he was a woman.
Tess McGill: Thank you I guess.

Tess McGill: I am not steak. You can't just order me.

Tess McGill: Bob, you're not seriously looking for a new assistant, are you?
Bob Speck: Well, not exactly at this moment, but I'm always on the lookout for new blood.
Tess McGill: I'm hungry, Bob, but I am not that hungry.

Katherine Parker: Dress shabbily, they notice the dress. Dress impeccably, they notice the woman - Coco Chanel.

Tess McGill: You know, maybe I just don't like you.
Jack Trainer: Me? Naaah.
