[Sir Mason rejects Margaret's offer to send her out on a business trip. Margaret and Richard start bickering]

Margaret Harwood:
[to Richard]
You are a person of very little quality.
Sir Mason Harwood:
Oh, why do you both bicker so much?
Margaret Harwood:
Because we're both jealous. Richard is jealous of everyone who is better than him, which includes every living creature. I'm jealous because I really care about wine. I love it! Yet I'm treated like a servant while he gets every opportunity that comes along!
Sir Mason Harwood:
You're not ready to be sent out yet, Margaret. When you are, naturally being totally fair, I'll send you. Remember, you are still a child.
Margaret Harwood:
Father, I'm 28 years old.
Richard Harwood:
Well, this desk is 112 years old. We're not sending it out to catalog wine!
Sir Mason Harwood:
Now, that's quite enough of that! Just be patient, your opportunity will come in due time.
Margaret Harwood:
So it's now, then?
Sir Mason Harwood:
When you're *ready,* dear!
Margaret Harwood:
That's what I thought you'd say.
Margaret Harwood:
[Puts a letter on the desk]
This is my resignation.
Richard Harwood:
[Picks up the letter and starts to read it]
Ooh, this *is* good news!
Sir Mason Harwood:
When your mother left, and decided to raise you in America, I accepted it. It was a decision I always suspected would haunt me. But this...
[takes the letter from Richard and holds it up]

Sir Mason Harwood:
You stop it now. Or I shall become, I promise you, very upset.
[holds the letter out to Margaret, which she does not take back]

Sir Mason Harwood:
I don't enjoy making threats very well.
Margaret Harwood:
Neither do I. Goodbye.
[turns and walks out]

Sir Mason Harwood:
[throws the letter on the desk]
Damn! Truly, truly, Damn!
Richard Harwood:
Father, we should celebrate her going!
Sir Mason Harwood:
Celebrate? She knows more about wine already than you'll ever learn, and she willingly does the work of four!
Richard Harwood:
But Harwood has never been represented by a *woman*!
Sir Mason Harwood:
Yes, well that's something we should consider changing.
