W: Someone called Drexler. Carl Drexler. He's been with the company only two years. I've been here longer. And I know more about the job, too! M: Hmm. Why do you think they gave it to him and not to you? W: Because I'm the wrong sex, of course! M: You mean you didn't get the job because you're a woman? W: Yes, that probably was it! It isn't fair. M: What sort of clothes does he wear? W: A dark suit. White shirt. A tie. Why? M: Perhaps that had something to do with it.
