Anyway. Somehow manages

to get me through the day.

Yeah, she seems very, very nice.

- She's got a boyfriend.

- Gotcha.

Pretty much all the executive

offices are on this floor.

Here's one. Ben who?

- First day for Ben today, Ken.

- Right.

You remember Ken

from the interview?

Yes. Great to see you again, Ken.

Ken has been handling

our marketing here for yonks.

But make no mistake,

he's as keen as mustard

for some fresh takes,

arcn't you, Ken?

Yep. L"I give 'em a listen.

Yep.

Well, Ken's busy,

so we'll come back...

We'll continue this later.

Are you familiar

with the brand 'Simpson'?

- The washing machines?

- No. Tennis wear.

Oh. Yes! Oh, of course.

Used to sponsor the Davis Cup.

Newcombe, Roche.

Glory days. Rod Laver.

Look at those pleats.

Anyway,

it's one of our oldest labels,

fallen completely from sight.

Had a very loyal clientele in its days.

- We feel it's time to, you know...

- Yeah, get rid of it.

- No. No. Restore it. Relaunch it.

- Right!

- Get it up and running again.

- Excellent! Good!

Sorry, I was worried

you'd lost faith.

No, no. Actually, we've had an idea for

the relaunch.

We're thinking... women.

Uh-huh. What about them?

We get them to buy Simpson.

You want women to buy...? How?

Well, that's you.

That's why we've got you.

- Oh...

- That's the mission!

...right!

Excellent.

# Well, you know

when you've been defeated

# You don't care and you thank no-one

# Feeling low you will always need it

# And are you having fun... #

Hey!

What?

I think we might need

some time apart.

After two days?

Right. I'm not necessarily

saying a long time apart.

I thought we were clicking.

We were, we are. It's just...

Sh*t, I don't know.

My head hasn't been straight

at the moment.

I just got a new job...

- Are you a jerk?

- What? No.

Last night she said

you were a bit of a jerk.

- I wasn't.

- You sounded like a jerk.

What is this, tribal council?

I was tired.

- That's no excuse.

- Exactly.

I'm sorry, do you mind?

Thanks very much.

Look, Fleur, I'm sorry.

I really am. I...

Here's the truth -

I just got out of a long relationship

and I guess I still haven't

quite come to terms with it... here.

Such bullshit.

- Absolutely.

- Pure bullshit.

- Thanks, Sam.

- Yeah.

- Busy today.

- Killing it.

- Want another coffee?

- Nah.

I really can't. I gotta knuckle down.

But thanks.

- Cheers, Mick.

- Leave you to it, hey?

Is this for the new job?

No. God, no.

That would've taken a paragraph.

I've gotta give a speech

at the old school tomorrow night.

Oh, yeah.

What are they paying you?

- No, you don't get paid.

- Come on, what are they paying?
