Take this Working Girl Quiz! Average Trivia | Movies

Answer: She turns 30.

Sigourney Weaver's character, Tess's boss Katharine Parker, also turns 30 early in the movie, a few days after Tess. Tess feels awkward about this, commenting, "I never worked for someone who was younger than me before."

Answer: Arbitrage

Bob is played by Kevin Spacey. Tess thinks that Bob is looking for a new assistant, but soon learns he has other plans. "We are gonna par-tee!" Bob exclaims. Tess, who has recently received her degree after five years of night school and who has just turned 30, is looking to get ahead on her merits.

She is so upset by Bob's behavior that she asks the limo driver to drop her off in the middle of a rainy Manhattan street.

Answer: Joan Cusack

As usual, Joan provides much of the comic relief, playing an over-the-top sidekick, with big '80s hair and neon makeup. Despite being a Chicago native, Joan nails the New York attitude.

Answer: She catches him cheating on her.

Apparently, Mick has been "neglected" by Tess, who spends many nights taking classes to get ahead. Mick and his lover Doreen end up dating. Presumably, they also get married, since Doreen catches the bouquet at Cyn's wedding.

Answer: Staten Island

She takes the Staten Island Ferry into Manhattan several times in the movie, including the memorable opening scene. The ferry serves as a symbol of her transition from her struggles as a working girl to her success as a businesswoman.

Answer: Tequila

At the party, Jack never tells Tess his name, because, he says to her later, he was afraid they would talk all business, "no lust and tequila". Tess, who has taken a Valium to calm her nerves before the party, passes out after Jack gets her two drinks. He ends up carrying her up three flights of stairs to his apartment, where she wakes up the next morning in her underwear.

Answer: She reads a message Katharine sent to Jack on her computer.

This betrayal is the last straw for Tess. It is at this point that she decides to take advantage of Katharine's absence (due to a broken leg during a skiing trip) to team up with Jack to make the deal happen.

Answer: A briefcase

Tess is embarrassed by the cardboard file folder she brings to the meeting, lying that she "lost her briefcase" when, in fact, she has never had one. In a romantic gesture, Jack brings her a beautiful leather case because she will need one now that they will be working together.

Answer: Caribbean

The groom does not like the theme, claiming that it "looks like Nicaragua" and that they "were making some kind of statement". Tess tells the upset bride that she loves it: "It's like paradise with little gold palm trees."

Answer: Trask Industries

Mr. Trask likes Tess's "gumption". Even though she misrepresents herself as an associate at Petty-Marsh when she is, in fact, a secretary, Tess succeeds in preventing a Japanese takeover of Trask Industries. Mr. Trask is so grateful that he offers her a job.
