Going The Distance Page #5

You know one song. I know like 100.

You know what that does

to your emotionaI stability?

- You covered Jesus Jones?

- Yeah.

How old are you?

I don't wanna talk about that.

Do this. Show the idiots in charge

that you wanna get promoted...

...then you can make the call

on some bands.

I can't look at them without la-

I don't know how I'm gonna do this.

You'll figure it out. Unh.

Close them.

So have they offered you a job yet?

It's nice to talk to you too, Corinne.

Have you even asked them?

Look, the whole newspaper business

is falling apart, okay?

People here are struggling

to keep their jobs...

...so I can't exactly ask for one.

Maya, statue.

Look, all I'm saying,

and please know that I love you...

...is that you are behind in your life,

and we all know why.

Yeah, I'm currently up to speed on the fact

that my life is not currently up to speed.

Maya, statue.

Ooh, Olive Garden.

- Jesus Chri- Phil!

The pantry shelves just collapsed.

Erin?

- Sh*t.

I need you to watch Maya for me, please.

Erin. All the other interns are doing

research so you're on desk duty.

Okay.

Hugh, wait.

Look, I would really love

to turn this internship into a job.

And it's fine that my last piece

didn't get picked...

...and the ones that do

usually get bumped for space.

But it is my dream to work here...

...and I would like

to make a good impression.

Good. Then do that.

Okay.

Um, well, is there a piece

you could assign me, or...?

A piece.

Uh, the only thing I have is a human

interest story on Grant-A-Dream.

- It's a charitable organization-

- Yes, Grant-A-Dream.

It grants wishes to terminally ill children.

I love terminally ill children.

Don't get too excited.

Four other people passed on this.

- I'm on it.

- Okay, good.

Uh, write it up, put it on my desk.

Thank you.

Corinne- Ugh.

Thanks a lot, Erin.

Where did you get these Oreo cookies?

Spit it out. Spit. More. More. More.

All of it. All of it. Maya.

All of it. All of it.

There's that. Thank you so much.

- Hello?

- Hello.

I see you haven't entered me

into your phone yet.

Oh, you know what happened?

- What's that?

- I forgot your name.

Ah.

That's too bad for me. Um-

Well, I, Garrett, was wondering

if you'd allow me to take you to dinner.

Um, yeah. I could eat.

Yeah? Great.

- All right, text me the address.

- Okay.

What's your favorite food?

Every Friday night, my family, we'd go out

to this place, Luigi's, in my hometown.

I'd get tortellini.

I think I love it just because of that.

It reminds me of Friday nights growing up.

How would you like to die?

- Eating too much tortellini.

- Ha-ha-ha.

Or waterboarding.

I'd love to be waterboarded to death.
