The Intern Page #3

-Phonebooks.

-Oh.

I was in charge

of overseeing the printing

of the physical phonebook.

I did that for over 20 years,

and before that I was their

VP of sales and advertising.

So, do they still

make phonebooks?

I mean, doesn't everyone

just Google numbers?

I believe they do, but before

Google that was how you got...

Oh, no, no. Yeah, I get it.

So 40 years

at the phonebook company?

That is amazing, seriously.

Okay, Benjamin. Now,

I'm gonna ask you one of

our more telling questions

for all of our interns,

so I want you to, like,

this is the one

to really think about, okay?

And take your time.

Where do you see yourself

in 10 years?

When I'm 80?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, whatever. Um...

Wait. Did not realize

you were 70.

That question just doesn't

work for you, does it?

Should we just scratch

that one and just move on?

-It's your call, Justin.

-Okay, that one's gone.

You look great,

by the way, so great,

and you're clearly more

than qualified for this job.

You're actually, like,

way overqualified,

and we were so impressed.

You had great interviews,

great video.

You nailed it, Ben. Congrats.

You're an intern.

Hey. I need you for

two minutes, uninterrupted.

-Hi. Okay.

-Remember a few weeks ago,

we talked about

the senior intern program?

No.

Really? We had a whole,

big conversation about it.

We did? Okay, remind me.

Seniors in high school

or college?

No, no, no. Seniors in life.

Older people.

Hold on. What?

I told you

I felt like we needed

to do an outreach program.

You definitely seemed

to be liking the idea,

so I set it in motion.

It's gonna be great.

Hold, please. You're hiring

senior citizen interns?

There's been

a ton of research on this,

and the results

are actually incredible.

I mean,

imagine having an intern

with a lifetime of experience

as opposed to

somebody who spent

the last four years of

their life playing beer pong.

Do they eventually

want jobs here?

No, darling,

they're all retired.

They just want the experience.

And I would like one to

work directly with you.

-Wait, Cameron, no.

-Wha--

First of all, I'm not great

with older people.

You know how I am with

my parents. This could be...

Why do I have to have one?

Because you have

to set the tone.

Now, would you prefer

a man or a woman?

There's a great 72-year-old

woman, really cute.

Ugh That's like the same age

as my mom. That's too weird.

That's fine.

There's a man everyone loves.

He seems amazing.

I watched his video

with the whole group.

People were crying.

Okay, this is not

going to work, in my opinion.

But how long do I have to

do this for? Minimum?

Six weeks, or we'll be sued.
