This is one of the events which makes Mr Grey realise just how far he can push Lee without her rebelling or refusing.

Too much sugar. Mr Grey later complains that another cup of coffee does not have enough sugar - it's possible he is only criticizing Lee purely for the sake of it.

Despite the difficulties she has with this small task, she manages to get the job.

Typing. During the interview, Mr Grey fires a number of questions at Lee, particularly about her home life.

Tax Office. Lee imagines that she is being interviewed at the Municipal Tax Office. She knows that having no prior experience puts her at a disadvantage, so she practices a speech stating that this would be an ideal place to start her career.

Washing dishes. Lee is washing dishes in the sink, and tries to take advantage of a small window of opportunity while her mother's back is turned. Despite the fact that she has been cutting herself for many years by this point, she accidentally cuts too deep, and causes herself serious damage. It is this incident which ultimately leads to her being sent to the institution.
| Lee attends a typing class in order to prepare herself for the world of work. What is she asked to write about when we see her? | Secretary Wanted - Part 1
|
Flowers. Lee practices touch-typing, while her paper is covered so that she cannot see how well she has done. She recites to herself, while typing: "My flowers had just about given up in despair, so with the exception of a few potted plants from the florist, we're flowerless for the first spring in years".
| After being released from the institution, Lee returns home to her sister's wedding. It's not long before her drunken father gets into an argument with her mother, but what do they fight about? | Secretary Wanted - Part 1
|
He has been fired from his job.. Lee's father appears to be an alcoholic, so it is unsurprising that he becomes very drunk at the wedding. Lee had been hoping to return to a nice, normal family upon her release, but this argument, along with her father's drunkeness, helps to push her back towards self harming.
| At the end of the movie, Lee and Mr Grey are married and living together. After Mr Grey goes to work, what does Lee put on the bed to ensure that he punishes her when he returns? | Secretary Wanted - Part 2

Cockroach. Although the couple seem to be living life as an ordinary couple, the final scene shows that their unusual love life still remains strong. The cockroach is reminiscent of the worm that Lee sends Mr Grey earlier in the movie.

| Of the people who visit Lee during her hunger strike, who is the only one she seems grateful to see? | Secretary Wanted - Part 2
|
Her father. During the three days she sits and waits for Mr Grey to return, Lee receives a number of visitors and garners a fair amount of media coverage. Peter tries to physically drag her away from Mr Grey's desk, her mother yells at her, and Peter's mother tells her she wants the soiled wedding dress back. Lee's father however, brings her a drink and recites to her "Your soul and your body are your own, and yours to do with as you wish", making her smile for the first time since arriving, and thank him.
Mr Grey tells him.. Lee runs from Peter's house, while still wearing the wedding dress Peter's mother has given her, and heads to Mr Grey's office. Mr Grey tells her to sit at his desk and not move until he returns, hoping that if he leaves her long enough, she will give up on him and leave. In order to help this along, he telephones Peter and tells him where Lee is.
| After Mr Grey asks Lee to leave her job, she feels lonely and finds it difficult to fill the void he has left in her life. She starts responding to adverts placed in newspapers, by men who have similar "alternative" interests to herself. One asks her to handcuff him to a stove while she throws what at him? | Secretary Wanted - Part 2
|
Tomatoes. After a series of bizarre dates, including one who tries to touch her before they had even reached the car, and the aforementioned man who wished to be pelted with tomatoes, Lee gives up hope and resigns herself to marrying Peter. She tries to subtley coerce Peter into spicing things up in the bedroom, but her hints go straight over his head.
