- Yeah.

I, uh... i thought it was a good service.

- Yeah, it was.

So... how are things in new york?

- Good, you know?

Yeah.

- Anything happening on the job front or, uh...

I have a second interview next week.

- Really?

Getting shots on tuesday for my trip.

Yeah.

So, what's your, uh... what's your second interview?

- With a small imprint.

They put out foreign-Policy titles.

- That sounds interesting.

Yeah, we'll see.

Given the possibilities,

we need to enlarge our team.

It's not a temporary increase.

- No. It would be a permanent position.

Great.

Right. Well, um... so,

if we were to offer you the job, could you...

start in two weeks?

Two weeks?

- Yeah.

Um... i believe i mentioned before

in my first interview

that, unfortunately, i have travel

plans next month.

But i could start september 1st or maybe

a few days before. I return on the 28th.

Doug, you know the particulars of your trip,

of course.

We don't. But i think the salary

is competitive, and it would be a promotion.

Plus you'd have four weeks' paid vacation

that you could start claiming in six months.

We have several titles going to press in late

august,

and we'd love to

bring you into the process as soon as possible.

Thank you.

I appreciate the offer, but i can't accept.

Okay, well...

all right.

Um, well, you tell us, Doug.

What would make it worth it for you?

Well, i'm not trying to ask

for more money.

This trip is very important to me.

It may be the last time i get to do

something like this for a while.

Paid vacation, six months.

Just push your trip back a little.

We really want you to join

us here, Doug. So...

How did it go?

Oh, my goodness.

Yep. This is the living room and the kitchen.

- Wow.

That is... that's an incredible view.

So, this is the bedroom, of course.

- Compared to your last place,

This is like night and day.

Oh, you have a master bath, too.

That's great.

Too. That's great.

- Yeah.

I'm gonna go check on the

grill.

It's really nice.

- Yeah. -Thanks.

Yeah.

- Thanks. -Are you gonna paint?

Hey. Man, this is great.

I mean, you found a great place.

Yeah, we're renting it from mitch.

- Where is he?

Hong kong.

- Oh, right. Right. Anyway, cheers.

Cheers.

You know, Doug, i-I, um... i'm really proud

of you. You know, your mother is, too.

We're both really

happy for the way things are going for you.

It's a beautiful view.
