Transcript:
Val: Monty? You're here day and night. Don't you have a family? Monty: Yes. That's why I need the overtime. Val: But they never see you! Isn't that hard on your marriage? Monty: This is a critical project. Has to be done by Monday, or heads will roll. Val: They're all critical! This company threats every project as life or death. Go home. Monty: I can't. My wife changed the locks. I live here now. Boss: You wee, Ms. Stone? That is dedication!
