00:03Good morning, handsome. Working hard already.
00:07Morning, Vivian. Yeah, just trying to get these reports finished.
00:13You know, you look really good in that shirt. Brings out your eyes.
00:18You know, I was thinking maybe we could grab lunch today. Just the two of us.
00:22Okay, Vivian. I need you to stop, alright? This behavior is completely inappropriate.
00:28It needs to stop immediately. Come on, Larry. I'm just being friendly.
00:34You're so tense all the time. You need someone to help you relax.
00:39Alright, Vivian, I've told you before, but I'm not interested.
00:42I have a girlfriend, and even if I didn't, this behavior is just not acceptable in the workplace, alright?
00:48You're making me very uncomfortable. I've made that clear multiple times.
00:51Okay, well, your girlfriend doesn't have to know what happens at work stays at work, right?
00:58Besides, I can offer you things she probably can't.
01:02Okay, stop. Vivian, that is harassment. If you don't stop right now, I'm going to have to report you to
01:07Xavier again.
01:08Listen, I've been clear about my boundaries and you keep crossing them. This has to end.
01:13Oh, report me to Xavier. The guy's completely clueless. He's not going to do anything to me over some harmless
01:21flirting.
01:21I can be pretty persuasive when I need to be. Xavier!
01:27Hey, good morning, you two. How's everything going?
01:30Just great. Larry and I were just discussing the new project, right?
01:34Xavier, actually, I need to talk to you about some...
01:38Can it wait? I've got a conference call in like five minutes.
01:42Well, I suppose, but it's kind of important.
01:45We'll catch up later, Larry. Keep it up, you two. I'll catch you later.
01:56See? I told you he wouldn't care.
01:58This isn't over, Vivian.
02:00We'll see about that.
02:09Here's my favorite co-worker. Miss me?
02:12Vivian, please. We talked about this yesterday.
02:15Uh, did we? I don't remember agreeing to anything.
02:18You know, I had dreams about you last night. Want to hear about them?
02:22No, no. I absolutely do not.
02:25Come on. Don't be such a prude. I know you're attracted to me.
02:30Uh, do not touch me.
02:33Oh, you're playing hard to get?
02:35It's fine. I like that in a man.
02:38Vivian, I'm not playing anything. I want you to leave me alone, please.
02:42But where's the fun in that?
02:44That's it! Stop! Alright, I've had enough of this.
02:47We're going to Xavier's office right now and I'm going to make sure he believes me this time.
02:50Oh, please. Xavier's not going to believe your little sob story.
02:54Who's he going to trust? Me or some guy who can't handle a little female attention?
03:01You know what? We'll see about that. Let's go.
03:07He likes me.
03:10No, that report was due yesterday. If you don't get this done for me, you're fired. Okay? I've just had
03:17it.
03:23Oh, what can I do for you two?
03:24Xavier, I need to file a formal complaint about Vivian's behavior.
03:28Alright, she has been sexually harassing me for weeks. She makes inappropriate comments, touches me without permission, and refuses to
03:36respect my boundaries when I tell her to stop.
03:39Sexual harassment? Come on, Larry. Men don't get sexually harassed. You must have it backwards.
03:47What do you mean backwards?
03:48I mean, you're probably the one bothering Vivian, and now you're trying to flip the script.
03:54Thank you, Xavier. I was wondering how to bring this up. Larry's been making me feel very uncomfortable with his
04:00advances.
04:01Yeah, and I've tried to be nice about it, but he won't take no for an answer.
04:05That is completely untrue. Alright, Larry, let's be realistic here.
04:12Look at Vivian. She's an attractive woman. If she was interested in you, you should be flattered.
04:19Flattered?
04:21Xavier, she is harassing me!
04:23Harassment? She probably smiled at you, and you misinterpreted it.
04:28You need to man up and stop complaining about getting attention from a pretty co-worker.
04:33Exactly. I was just trying to be friendly, and Larry took it the wrong way. I never did anything inappropriate.
04:41Maybe some light conversation, but nothing more.
04:45See? This is what I'm talking about. Larry, you're our best performing employee, but if you keep making false accusations
04:53against Vivian, we're gonna have a problem.
04:55False accusations, huh?
04:57If you can't handle a normal workplace interaction without calling them harassment, maybe you're not suited for this environment.
05:05You know, I don't want to hear any more complaints about Vivian's flirting. Handle your personal issues on your own
05:12time.
05:13I can't believe this. This is unbelievable.
05:20Thanks for understanding, Xavier. Some man just can't handle a confident woman.
05:27Don't worry about it. Larry will get over whatever his problem is.
05:32Thanks.
05:40Xavier, can I speak with you?
05:43Yeah, of course.
05:46I want to propose something that will settle this situation once and for all.
05:50Larry, we talked about this yesterday. I don't want to hear any more complaints.
05:54Alright, just hear me out. I want to prove to you that Vivian is the one behaving inappropriately.
06:00How exactly do you plan to do that?
06:02When Vivian gets here, I want you to hide somewhere where you can watch her interaction without her knowing.
06:08Okay, you can see for yourself how she behaves when she thinks no one's watching.
06:13You want me to spy on my own employees?
06:15I want you to see the truth. You don't believe my word? Fine. See it with your own eyes.
06:22Okay, and what exactly do you think I'm gonna see?
06:26Everything I've been trying to tell you. Her inappropriate touching, her sexual comments, her refusal to respect boundaries.
06:34And if I'm wrong, I'll drop this completely and apologize. But if I'm right, they'll finally understand what's been happening.
06:41Fine. But when nothing happens, I don't want to hear another word about this.
06:48Deal. Just hide behind those cubicles where you can see my desk clearly.
06:52Yeah, yeah. This better be worth my time.
07:03Sorry, I'm late, gorgeous. I was thinking about you all morning.
07:07Oh, really?
07:09Yeah, really. You know, you looked so good yesterday, even when you were pretending to be angry with me.
07:16I love it when you get all worked up. It's very exciting.
07:20You know what I was thinking about? How good we'd look together. How good we'd feel together.
07:29Come on, I bet you were thinking about it, too. I can tell by the way you're looking at me.
07:36Why don't we go somewhere private and discuss this project we're working on?
07:42I've got some ideas that might interest you. Very hands-on ideas.
07:48Right.
07:49Come on, Larry. Stop pretending you don't want this. I can be very persuasive.
07:56What the hell is going on here?
07:58Oh, Xavier! I was just... we were discussing work.
08:03That didn't look like work to me. Larry, I owe you a huge apology. I should have believed you from
08:09the beginning.
08:10Yeah, you should have.
08:12Vivian, your behavior is completely inappropriate and constitutes sexual harassment.
08:17Okay, sexual harassment? I was just being friendly.
08:21That wasn't friendly. That was predatory. You're terminated. Immediately.
08:27You can't fire me. Larry was encouraging me.
08:30I saw what happened. You were the aggressor in that situation.
08:35Larry, I failed you as a manager. I let my own biases cloud my judgment.
08:42Yeah, you did.
08:43I want to make this right. I'm offering you a promotion and a 20% raise.
08:49Look, I appreciate the gesture, but I'm afraid it's too late for that.
08:55I've already accepted a job at another company, and I start on Monday.
09:01What? Larry, please reconsider. We can work this out.
09:06I can't work for someone who threatened to fire me for reporting harassment.
09:12Alright, trust is something that you can't just fix with money.
09:16You're our best employee. We can't afford to lose you.
09:20Well, you should have thought about that before threatening to fire me.
09:25You know what? You two deserve each other.
09:27Okay, Xavier, wait. Can I keep my job?
09:32I promise I'll never do anything like this again.
09:35Oh, absolutely not. You're terminated. And that's final.
09:39Clear out your desk and leave the building.
09:43Security's going to escort you out.
09:44Okay, this is so unfair. Larry was leading me on. Come on.
09:49Goodbye, Vivian. Goodbye, Xavier.
