The Young Like It Hot

I'm sorry, all operators are tied up

at the moment.

If you'll hold the line,

the first available operator will assist you.

Yes.

Oh, God.

They're going to be here in 1O minutes.

Don't worry.

Don't you have to go on duty?

I am on duty.

Where's Stephanie?

Oh, what?

I don't know.

Somebody better take over her board.

I don't work until 7:00.

Clock says 5:00 still.

I'm sorry,

all operators are tied up at the moment.

If you'll hold the line,

the first available operator will assist you.

I'm here.

I'm the nightwatchman.

I hear it.

Oh, don't stop.

Oh, hurry.

I fucking love this.

Where's Stephanie?

|'m sorry, all operators are tied up at --

Operator assistance.

May I help you?

Hello, baby.

You know what I like.

Hey, this is the big cock speaking.

Hey, how would you like me to eat your pussy?

At 7:00 am'?

I'm coming.

Bill?

What's going on?

I thought I heard a moan, but there's no one here.

Ah.

Wait a minute.

Oh, good.

No problem.

My computer reports are all here.

They're damn important.

Thanks, Bill.

I'm glad I could be of service, Mr. Fishbait.

See you.

What's that strange smell?

Why is my chair damp?

What's all this talk about MaBell

buying up the companY

and replacing us with computers?

I'll tell you this, guys.

In the 1O years that I've been with this company,

I've seen a lot of things happen

that no computer could figure out.

That's for sure.

I've been here for six and a half years.

I'd like to see a computer try to understand

some of the things that people want.

I swear, sometimes I feel like

a translator for the United Nations.

That's all part of the job.

I just hope I can keep mine.

I'm sure if the company realize

what a service we provide,

they wouldn't want to replace us.

Maybe I could speak to some of the linemen.

They might be able to help us out.

Well, Cindy, you just better be careful.

Every time one of those pole climbers

gets a good look at you,

they seem to want to install

a new service in you.

Uaughter]

Here comes the most beautiful supervisor

in the phone business.

Really, Loni, if you'd have been around

old Alexander Graham Bell

in his tinkering days,

I'm sure messages would still move

by Pony Express.

David, you say just about the nicest things

a person could say,

and it happens to be the truth.

You do look great today.

Oh, girls -- and David,

our token toward equal opportunity.

Thank you.

I've got to talk to you about a subject

that's become unavoidable.

Is that about

losing our jobs to the computers?

Well, you're half right, Cindy.

I came to tell you that they're seriously

considering switching over,

but I think I have an idea

to keep that from happening.

Good.

I'd hate to be out of a job.

Just when I found one

that I don't screw up so badly.

Cindy, someone that looks like you

isn't going to have trouble

finding a willing employer.

I'm worrying about me.

Now, hold on, gang,

we're jumping overboard.

I'm just telling you that the company

is giving serious consideration

to the computer idea.

I personally don't feel any machine

could replace human assistance.

It's great that you feel that way,

Loni, but what do we do to convince the bigwigs?

Well, that's why I wanted to meet with you

this morning before the shift starts.

I have an idea.

We're willing ears.

Let's hear it.

We prove to the company that we give

the kind of service

that no hunk of hardware could ever give.

The job is satisfying the customer,

and if we do it better than the machines,

the company will have to keep us.

How do we prove that to the big shots?

Well, from now on, when you answer

an operator assistance call

and you think

you can help them out yourself,

do your best to help.

Then, when you're finished,

suggest to them that the way of showing

their appreciation would be a call

or a letter to the company or to Fishbait.

If we really go out of the way to help,

positive responses should start

coming in real soon.

What do you say?

Let's do it.

I still want my paycheck.

Whatever it takes, I'll do it.

Oh, I'm so excited.

Well, let's get to work, folks.

Let's show them.

Let's do it.

Sir, I'm connecting you right now to the --

Operator assistance, may I help you?

Yes, ma'am, that number is --

I'm afraid not, sir.

I do my best.

Thank you.

Operator assistance, may I help you?

I'm sorry, didn't see your listing for that.

Yes, ma'am --

No, ma'am, I don't have that information.

Okay, one minute.

Operator assistance, may I help you?

Yes, ma'am, we have that number.

Can you hold for just one minute?

Thank you.

Operator assistance, can I help you?

Operator assistance, can I help you?

You want the area code for Kansas?

That would be 913.

Operator assistance, may I help you?

Oh, yes, you sure can.

I'm building an addition onto my house here

and I'm having a little trouble

with my framing instructions.

I was hoping you'd give me

a number of a construction company.

Oh, I'll help you, sir.

Service is our business and we aim to please.

Oh, good.

Well, look,

I'll tell you what I've done so far, okay?

It says hereto use 1O 2x12s

and then run an L brace into the corners.

Then you run a tong along the groove

of the floor with a three-quarter inch CPD, okay?

But I have a question.

Do I put braces up all along the sides

or do I just knock these braces off'?

Well, I think you should remove your braces.

It might make it a lot easier for me

to understand you.

I know I felt great

when I took my braces off.

Oh, good.

That sounds simple.

I'll try it, you hold on just a minute.

Whoa.

Operator assistance, may I help you?

Yes.

I bet you got a nice, hot pussy

just waiting for me.

Sir, your number is now being traced.
