interested in me.

All he likes to talk about

is bungee jumping.

Tell him you're

from a broken home.

- I'm serious.

- Should I?

Guys think things

like that are great.

Trust me.

I'm gonna use it.

Hi, Gorden.

Hey.

Did you know I'm

from a broken home?

Okay, bye.

Turn it down.

- Wolfmeyer residence

- Hey, beautiful.

It's Denny.

- Which one is this?

- It's Andy.

Bingo. You still

lookin' for work?

- I am.

- Well, I want you to come in tomorrow.

And see Shep Goodman

from my show.

He needs

a production assistant.

Denny, you're kidding me.

- You're amazing.

- Yeah...

well, you tell that

to your mom, we're even.

So you come in tomorrow, okay?

I'll set you two up.

Okay!

Thank you so much!

Oh my God.

I might get a job

working on Denny's show.

- Are you kidding me?

- No!

- That would be amazing!

- That would be so cool.

- Oh my God.

- What's up?

Denny just called.

She might get a job on his show.

Oh, really?

Denny just called here?

Yeah, I have an

interview tomorrow

for a job.

Wait, wait.

What about school?

I want a job.

I'm not going to college.

Wha... you're not going

to college?

No, I told Daddy and he wanted me

to wait to tell you, but now...

Oh, but now that he's off

screwing his assistant,

you think you can safely drop

the bomb on me, is that it?

No.

"No" is right.

You are going to college!

You know damn well

how I feel about this.

All four of you.

You're all goddamn going to college!

I don't have a job open.

It's that simple, Denny.

It's cut and dry.

This girl has something.

She does, Sheppy,

she's sharp.

She has class.

You could be hiring the next, um...

Diane Sawyer.

I don't have a job open.

I know you don't,

but you could do this

for me, right?

You could do this for me.

No, I can't.

Wanna know why?

- Yes, why?

- Okay, I'm gonna come in there.

I'm gonna tell you.

Hold on.

Jesus.

I'm going on

in a second here.

Because, my lord,

I'm too busy doing

other things

for you.

"My lord"?

#A simple kind of life.

Slow and easy #

- # A life that won't #

- Hi.

- # Bring me down #

- Um, I'm Andy Wolfmeyer,

I'm here to see

Shep Goodman about a job.

Um... Denny Davies

asked me to come in.

Oh, okay. Well, if you'd like

to take a seat over there.

- I'll let him know you're here.

- Okay, thank you.

No, you're not

understanding me,

- You're making this really...

- I found one!

I've got an opening.

Something's come up.

I found an opening.

- I'm on the phone.

- Okay.

If you want her to have

the job, I'll make it happen.

You'll just owe me, as usual.

I got the job.

What job?

With Denny, as a

production assistant.

Yes, what?
