The New Jerusalem

They've been playing WORKING GIRL on the cable lately. I was rewatching the ending over the weekend. It's completely silly treacle but goddammit if it doesn't get me...

(spoiler)

Melanie Griffith embarks on her first day at her new job: an "entry level" position. Sets her things down at the secretary's desk, familiarizing herself with the setting. Woman sitting in the adjacent window office comes out, greets her. Melanie assumes this is her new boss but... wait for it... the girl is actually her new secretary! Melanie's the boss! With a window office and her very own assistant!

There's something vaguely sad to me, that having your own office with a window and your own assistant should seem like some fairy tale ending.
