Ultimately, the women discover Hart has been selling Consolidated inventory and pocketing the proceeds, so they blackmail him into keeping quiet. Hart eventually gets loose, which leads Judy to shoot at him with Doralee's handgun. Doralee refuses and when Hart refuses to hear her out, she ties him up and stuffs a scarf he had given her as a gift in his mouth to keep him quiet.
Hart summons Doralee to his office and offers her a choice: if she spends the night with him, he will not report her, Judy, and Violet for attempted murder. However, Hart's loyal administrative assistant, Roz, overhears their conversation and reports everything back to Hart. Relieved that nothing will come out of the night's events, the ladies agree to meet for happy hour at the end of the day. In the ladies room, Doralee explains that Hart hit his head, but did not drink the coffee.
The next morning, Hart shocks the women when he arrives for work as usual. When Doralee retrieves a tire iron from the trunk to fix the fender, she discovers the body is not Hart and they return it to the hospital. Thinking the dead man is Hart, Violet steals the body to prevent the performing of an autopsy, but while arguing with Judy and Doralee, she crashes her car, damaging a fender. She and Judy meet Doralee at the hospital just in time to overhear a doctor pronounce a man dead from poisoning. Violet realizes her mistake and thinks the poisoned coffee caused Hart to black out. The next day, a frustrated Violet accidentally puts rat poison in Hart's coffee, but before he can drink it, his desk chair malfunctions and he blacks out after hitting his head on a credenza. Unable to think of a way to improve their situation, they spend the evening smoking marijuana at Doralee's house and fantasizing about how they would get revenge on Hart: Judy would shoot him like a hunter does a deer, Doralee would hog tie him and roast him over a slow fire, while Violet would poison his coffee. Judy joins them after learning of the dismissal of a friendly co-worker. When Hart turns down Violet for a promotion, Violet reveals to Doralee the rumor about the affair, leading both women to take the afternoon off drinking at a local bar. Both work under the egotistical, sexist Vice President Franklin Hart, whom Violet once trained and who spreads the false rumor that he and his attractive married secretary, Doralee Rhodes, are having an affair. Reserved former housewife Judy Bernly starts work as a secretary at Consolidated Companies under the supervision of experienced and sharp-tongued widow Violet Newstead.
#Kill the boss movie series
A television series of the same name based on the film ran for five seasons, and a musical play, based upon the film (also titled 9 to 5), with new songs written by Parton, opened on Broadway on April 30, 2009.ĩ to 5 is number 74 on the American Film Institute's "100 Funniest Movies" and has an 81% approval rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.
As a star vehicle for Parton-already established as a successful singer, musician and songwriter-it launched her permanently into mainstream popular culture. It stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton as three working women who live out their fantasies of getting even with and overthrowing the company's autocratic, "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" boss, played by Dabney Coleman.
