Quote from Lois
Mr. Fisher: Hey, Lois! I just wanna thank you for the terrific job you've done this week. You have shown both a marked improvement in your performance and your attitude.
Lois: That's nice of you to say, Mr. Fisher, but really, I haven't done anything different.
Mr. Fisher: There's that great attitude. Anyhow, I think we're gonna have an opening soon in customer service.
Lois: Really?
Mr. Fisher: It wouldn't be much of a pay rise, but you wouldn't have to work any more late nights.
Lois: That'd be great!
Mr. Fisher: Now, you would have to dress up your appearance a little.
Lois: Excuse me?
Mr. Fisher: You know, just a little more feminine.
Lois: More feminine?
Mr. Fisher: Well, you're on the right track, just a little... more.
Lois: Er, could I let you know tomorrow?
Mr. Fisher: Sure thing.
