[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 327052, member: 237"] This is a perfect example of a power move. Pam couldn't have done it any better! Pam had just arrived at Ewing Oil and taken over Bobby's office. J.R. was telling her that she couldn't be anywhere in the building, let alone Bobby's office. Pam is able to cut the argument short by pressing the intercom button to raise Phyllis. "Phyllis, I'd like a cup of tea, please. Herbal tea." Pam looks at J.R. "Do you want anything?" Pam accomplishes three things with this power move. 1) By buzzing Phyllis on the intercom, Pam shows that one of the highest level executive secretaries is now Pam's executive level secretary. All the arguing in the world would not accomplish what was done when Pam simply buzzed Phyllis. Great power move. 2) By specifically requesting herbal tea, Pam was showing the world that she would drink what she liked. No need to try and be "one of the boys" by asking for a Bourbon and Branch, or asking for coffee. Oh yes, Pam is her own person, that is for sure! 3) By looking at J.R. and asking, "Do you want anything?" Pam is showing that she is equal to J.R. She is asking J.R if he wants anything to drink the same way that any other equal partner would ask the question. Oh yes, this is a brilliant power move by Pam. [/QUOTE]
