  SPEAKER_05: This oh, she was slick.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_01: I hadn't wanted to do any movies until a right thing come along, because I'm not an actress, I've never taken an acting lesson in my life, and you'd have to be something that was pretty much close to my personality.

  SPEAKER_01: But Jane Fonda came up with this idea to do nine to five about women in the workplace.

  SPEAKER_00: Driving home, turn on the radio, two doors down, is playing, and I suddenly get an image of Dolly Parton sitting at a typewriter.
