SCENE ONE
A conference room. Functional but soothing. MARION LEE, an attractive woman in her mid-to-late thirties sits facing SUSY CONNOR. SUSY is in her mid-twenties, very attractive, very vivacious, very personable.
MARION: Can you give me examples?
SUSY: Of the harassment? Sure. It went on continually from the moment I arrived, but if you want the highlight, it was the time I was asked to stay back late just before I was fired.
MARION: What happened?
SUSY: What happened. When we were the only two left in the building he turned to me and said, âThis is boring. Letâs talk sexâ. Garyâs not subtle.
MARION: What did you say?
SUSY: I said, âGary, you have been talking sex to me for the last seven months. I donât find it titillating, and I donât find it amusing, so please stopâ. Then he said, âDo you want to keep your job here?â I said, âYesâ. No prizes for guessing what happened next.
MARION: [with her notebook poised] Unfortunately I do need to know what happened nextâwith as much precise detail as you can remember.
SUSY: [frowning, concentrating] I was sitting at the computer. He came up behind me. I concentrated as hard as I could on the screen, then suddenly there were two hands on my breasts and he said something sick making like, âThe twin peaks of womanhood. Soft, sweet, seductiveâ. I froze and when I turned around Garyâs member was inches in front of my nose. I ran.
MARION scribbles furiously on her notepad, then looks up at SUSY.
I went to VinceâVince owns the businessânext morning and told him what had happened. He called Gary into the office and asked if it was true. Gary denied everything. Vince sent me out. I heard them arguing. Vince called me back in and fired me.
MARION looks at her.
MARION: You heard Vince and Gary arguing?
SUSY: Iâm sure Vince must know what a sleaze Gary is, but he depends so heavily on Gary that he had no choice.
MARION: Before this incident Gary talked sex over the inter-office phone?
SUSY: [nodding] Gary had an office that overlooked my wordprocessor. Iâd pick up the phone and Gary would start to tell me some vile fantasy.
MARION: What kind of fantasy?
SUSY: Which position he was screwing me from, how he was doing itâI was usually so shocked he got two or three seconds in before I hung up. And the fantasies got progressively worse.
MARION: Why didnât you go toâ[Consulting her pad] Vince, earlier.
SUSY: I just thought Gary was pathetic, and that I should be able to cope with it myself.
MARION: You didnât talk about it to any of the other women there?
SUSY: There were only four and they werenât exactly friendly.
MARION: Why not?
SUSY: Who knows.
Pause.
Because they âŠ
MARION: Because they what?
SUSY: This is going to sound snobbish but they wereâthey resented the fact I wear decent clothes, that I didnât talkâ[Imitating a broad Australian accent] like I just drove in from Rooty Hill, that I know most of the movers and shakers of this city, that I had a decent educationâthose sort of things.
MARION: Decent education?
SUSY: I went to a good private schoolâand they didnât. Not that that makes any difference to me, but it obviously did to them.
MARION: Did you go to University?
SUSY: I went for a term, but I couldnât stand it. I went to Europe and ...
