Sorry.

I actually thought

you looked younger.

Yeah, right.

Any tips before I go in?

Just talk fast.

She hates slow talkers.

Maybe that's just

when I talk slow.

Don't dawdle in any way.

Just keep it moving.

And don't forget to blink.

Blink?

Yeah, she hates

when people don't blink.

It weirds her out.

But it's 3:
57.

This meeting that she's in

just took up,

like, two of your...

They're out. Go, go, go.

-Okay, thanks.

-Go. Yeah.

What? Oh, yeah, I'm here.

Hi, Jules?

I'm Ben, your new intern.

I'm glad you also see

the humor in this.

Be hard not to.

So, Ben...

I was gonna say

what is a nice guy like you

doing at 8 place like this?

But Cameron gave me the drill,

so can I just be

honest with you?

PIS3SS.

I'm not gonna have

a lot for you to do.

That's the truth.

And you being assigned to me

is kind of just

for me to set an example

for the rest of the team.

If you ask me,

I think that you'd be

much better off

working in creative

or marketing.

It's a little bit slower pace,

maybe a little bit

easier to grasp.

If you requested a transfer,

we can make that happen.

If that's what you'd prefer.

You'll be happier, believe me.

I am not so fun to work for.

That's what I gather,

but I can get along

with anyone,

and I'm here to learn

about your world,

give help where I can, so...

So, you don't wanna transfer?

Not really, sir.

I'm terribly sorry.

Excuse me.

Okay.

Well, then looks like

you're stuck with me.

Great, I'm excited.

I will e-mail you when I have

something for you to do.

Or I could just stop by

a few times a day, check in...

I'll e-mail you.

Also, don't feel like

you have to dress up.

I mean, we're super cas here.

Well, I'm comfortable

in a suit, if it's okay.

No, it's fine. Old-school.

Exactly.

At least I'll stand out.

I don't think you need

a suit to do that.

True.

Well, I think we did it

in less than two minutes.

I'll wait to hear from you.

Okay.

Want the door open or closed?

Doesn't matter.

Open, actually.

You'll get used to me.

Look forward to it.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Howdy.

What do you need?

No.

What's up, Ben? Are you good?

Perfect.

Okay.

- The V-neck back tee?

- Okay.

-This is Holly.

-Can you run that up to them?

Yeah, no, no.

We love the whole line, IVlark.

Okay, so you can zoom out.

Like that.

I'm going to a meeting.

I'll be back in an hour.

We'll talk then?

And then you can

just click here to buy it.

Cool, yeah.

Hello? Hi, yeah.

All right. You staying?

Can't leave before

the boss leaves, Davis.

Looks like you're

gonna be here a while.

All right.

See you in the morning, Ben.

-Have a good night.

-You, too.

Let's make it happen.
