is also sleeping

with your boss.

Jesus Christ.

Hi, what is it,

Mr. Koffsky?

Uh, IT can't seem to find any

problem with the network.

Oh really?

That's weird.

Yeah, and they say your

computer's been online all day.

Hmm, uh, I don't know,

maybe it's something

wrong with my laptop.

Erica?

Yes, Mr. Koffsky?

Cut the bullshit.

Excuse me?

Let me play

something for you.

Okay.

Are you really

that stupid?

Um, I'd like to speak

to your supervisor.

You want a second opinion?

Okay, you're a moron.

How's that?

How did you get that?

Some of your conversations are

recorded for quality assurance.

Oh yeah.

Erica, what the hell's

the matter with you?

Uh, I don't know.

I'm sorry,

I just lost it.

I'm just having

a really weird day.

And all this crap about

the network being down.

I know, I was lying.

Look, I just needed

some time today

to reconnect with

the real world.

What are you

talking about?

It doesn't matter.

So, am I fired?

Ha! Do you think?

I understand.

Look, Erica, if you were

having personal issues,

you could have

just told me.

I know, I'm sorry,

I just...

No, it's fine,

it's fine, I mean,

this is not like my long-term

career path anyway, right.

I mean, life's too short to

spend it doing something

you don't love.

Ah, well, you know what, let me

give you some advice there,

I mean, 'cause that all sounds

really good in theory,

but in the real world,

people work, you know.

I mean, they go out and they

do things that aren't all fun

and games because they need

to make money to buy food

and pay the rent.

I mean, you know, we're laying

people off left and right here

and it is so hard to find

another job, it just -

Look, what do you say I give you

one more chance but you promise

me that you will never pull any

of those stunts again, hmm?

What do you say?

I really appreciate

that Mr. Koffsky, I do.

It's just that, maybe

it's better this way.

I mean, I need to, uh,

step out of my comfort zone

or at least get out

of my apartment.

I just, you know, venture

out into the unknown.

Okay, I understand.

Um, I can give you

two weeks' severance.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Koffsky.

Good luck, Erica.

Thank you.

Ah!

Hey.

Hey.

How'd it go?

Uh, it's fine.

It's over and

I quit my job.

No, fired actually.

I got hired back and

then I turned it down.

Whoa...

Uh, I never

told you to -

I'm taking a chance.

Good for you.

Um, can I ask you

a question?

What? So now you

ask permission?

Why do you, why do

you even like me?

Mostly for

the archery.

No seriously.

I'm just, I'm just

a Consumer Affairs Rep.

Former Consumer

Affairs Rep.

Right.

I'm not special.

Are you kidding me?

How many people would

turn a wrong number into

an opportunity to meet people,

to connect with strangers.

I mean...

I don't know...

I don't know.

You made a difference in

people's lives today, Erica.

Yeah, not like you do.

Just as important.

You think that lady in

Nebraska gets to talk

to people every day?

I mean, her children

don't even talk to her.

Yeah, I guess.

What about me?

What about you?

It's weird, but I have real,

I have real feelings for you.

What?

I think this could be

something, you know.

Something important.

I have to meet you.

I can book a flight

in the morning.

Sorry, I can't

hear you.

I need to fly out

and see you.

There's, sorry, there's

an ambulance going by.

I hear it, too.

You hear that?

I can hear it

outside.

Isn't that weird?

Wait... What?

Where are you?

L.A.

But your number,

your number is 917.

I moved here a month ago

and why bother change it?

You didn't think that

was worth mentioning?

You never asked.

But we can hear

the same ambulance.

Yeah.

Where are you exactly?

Hi.

I'm Kyle.

Erica.
