Hey.

What's up?

Who is this?

Todd.

From eHarmony.

Oh! Hi.

When I lost you there,

I was saying...

we need to beef your profile up,

make it, you know, not blank.

Real quick, let's build your

"Been There, Done Thats. "

Okay. Been there...

Um...

Phoenix.

I forgot why.

Then Nashville...

but that was just

the airport on the way

to Phoenix, so I don't

know if that...

Uh-huh...

Hey, man, I was thinking,

if you work with this girl...

why don't you just

humanly invite her out?

No, no, no, I'm trying to do like

a "Pia Colada Song" thing.

"Pia Colada Song"?

Yeah, you know, a guy posts

an ad, looking for a lover...

and then his wife answers it...

and it turns out they were soul

mates and didn't even know it...

and they end up making love

in capes, or on a cape.

It's a song? Can you

sing a little bit?

If you like pia

coladas, getting caught in the rain

You know that song?

I have to go.

Is that Hall & Oates?

Yeah?

There's a boat there, I think.

"Erkig... "

Snek.

Erkigsnek?

Yeah.

Sounds like a real clue.

Yeah, it's the boat's name.

Have you Googled it?

I was on my way to.

Yeah. N-U.

It's the first two letters

I got to run up there

and pick up my son.

He's skateboarding with a friend.

Do you want to walk up with me?

Starting now?

Yeah, starting now.

Okay.

Yeah, we got to figure this out.

It's a big deal.

You lost a Sean O'Connell.

I used to work at Nabisco.

And then, I had a change...

and I decided to apply to LIFE.

Thought it would be more

colorful, less regular, I guess.

You know, I just like

the idea of it.

I like the motto of the company.

Do you know it?

"To see the world...

"Things dangerous to come to...

"To see behind walls. "

Yeah, I...

I got this, from Sean.

He gave this to you?

Yeah.

I like that,

"TO DRAW CLOSER."

So, what's he like in person?

Sean?

Yeah.

Well, I haven't actually met him.

I mean, we talk a lot, but...

I've been his point guy here

ever since I started.

How long ago was that?

16 years.

16 years?

Oh, my gosh. Wow.

Well, you have

nothing to worry about.

With the layoffs, I mean.

I've been here for a month.

"Last in, first out," right?
