When Haley comes home from work, bragging about the tips she made at the restaurant, Phil says to her, "That's our working girl. Let the River Run, baby!" a reference to both the film 'Working Girl' and the hit song from the film, 'Let the River Run'.
Working Girl tells the story of a Staten Island-raised secretary, Tess McGill, working in the mergers and acquisitions department of a Wall Street investment bank. When her boss, Katharine Parker, breaks her leg skiing, Tess uses her absence and connections, including Parker's errant beau Jack Trainer, to put forward her idea for a merger deal.
