The Intern Page #10

out there every day,

crashing the glass ceiling

of the tech world.

So, bravo,

good for her. Right?

Yeah. No, for sure.

What's up, kiddo?

I don't feel good.

You don't? Do you

wanna sit on my lap?

You know, if she's sick, she

probably shouldn't be here.

Tough crowd, Paigey

You wanna hit the road?

Does that mean "leave"?

Afraid so.

I spy with my little

eye something... Blue!

- Is it the car next to us?

- No.

Is it that dog leash?

No.

Uh, is it the sky?

Yes! You got one.

-Your turn, Ben.

-Okay.

Oh, I have a good one.

I spy with my little eye

something green.

Is it that tree?

Nope.

Is it that front door?

Well, it's kinda green.

Is it, Ben?

Is it that front door?

Yeah, it is, honey. Good girl.

Thanks so much, Ben.

Hey, come on in the kitchen.

Can I get you something

before you hit the road?

Want a cup of coffee

or a bite to eat?

No, I'm good, thanks.

Okay. How was she?

She give you any trouble?

She was perfect.

She wasn't feeling

so great at the party,

so we left early,

and she just fell asleep

in the car,

so I let her get a nap in.

So nice of you. Thank you.

--Sorry.

Well, you seem like

you're feeling more with it.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Um, I guess I just

needed a little downtime.

You know, or maybe I wasn't

even that sick, I don't know.

Hey, Ben, I got somethin'

I wanted to ask.

What's your whole take

on the CEO thing?

I mean, you're more

on the inside than I am.

I know Jules is tryin' to

do right by everybody,

the investors, the company.

You.

She's got a lot

on her shoulders.

The pressure is unbelievable.

Am I wrong that

I want it to happen?

I mean, I want what she wants,

but you know what

it's like around here.

We don't see her enough,

and maybe this can fix that.

The CEO's gonna fix

what's going on here, Matt?

Whatever she decides,

I just...

I want it to be good for her.

I want her to be happy.

Of course.

She deserves that.

Yeah, she does deserve it.

-Hi, Amy.

-Hey, Ben.

Benjamin, what do you think?

I found it on eBay.

You were right. Total classic.

It's awesome, kid.

And many more.

-So how did it go?

Well, you have

a great kid, Jules.

-She's adorable.

-Aw.

Thank you so much

for doing that.

So you excited about our trip

to San Francisco tomorrow?

-Are you okay?

-Yeah.

Oh, I hope you don't

have what Matt has.

I don't.

-You sure?

-Positive.

What's that?

Blood pressure.

I take it every day.

-Are you sure you're okay?

-Yeah.

You don't look like you.

You're all flushed.

Why don't you go see

Fiona, the masseuse,

and just chill a little.

What's up?

Whoa, Ben, you okay?

You seem to be

slightly malfunctioning.

Becky.

Does he look right to you?

Okay. Thank you.

I think we're good here.

Got a lot of work to do.

it's all good.

Is it his coloring?

Oh, my God, you're all nuts.

I'm 100%

Let's move on, kids.

Big day. Lots to do.

Okay.

Ben, if I am giving you

too much to do

or working you too hard,

please do not feel that

you have to go with me

to San Francisco.

Jules, people my age

get tired sometimes.

That's all this is.

You're tired?

That's why you haven't

looked at me once

since I came over here?

I'm looking at you.

Jules.

-Cameron's on the phone.

-Okay.

Like, if you don't feel

better tonight or late...

I'm just saying I can

go by myself. Okay?

I'm a big girl. I'll be fine.

Okay, seriously,

Ben, what is it?

You know, I'm a sensitive man.

People don't think

that about me.

I don't look it, but I am.

Under all this man stuff

that you so admire...

IVlmm-hmm.

...I'm just a big

bowl of mush.

I know that.

Okay.

That's it?

That's what 24 hours

of crazy comes to?

That you're a sensitive

bowl of mush?

Jules.

Ben.

Jules, what are we doing here?

We got the day off.

We're traveling

in first-class.

Let's at least

have a little fun.

Now that I can do.

I can't believe

I'm saying that,

but that's what happened

the last time.

But he didn't see it coming.

Full on!

Look, I couldn't believe it.

Dad, aim for the shower.

If you get stuck, just...

Catch them. And with that,

the wedding planner

turns to me and goes,

"Hey, do you have the rings?"

Ladies and gentlemen,

as we start our descent,

please make sure your

seat backs and tray tables

are in their full,

upright positions,

and all carry-on luggage

is stowed under

the seat in front of you.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just thinking,

tomorrow I meet the guy

who may become my boss kinda.

I mean, a lot of people

have bosses, right?

Most people have bosses.

Jules, it's simple.

If you think Townsend is

gonna be good for you

and good for the company,

then do it. And if not...

Exactly. Just because

I came all the way here...

Right. Doesn't mean anything.

I agree.

Do you think

I can take a Xanax

if I had two glasses of wine

an hour ago?

Well, I'd wait

another couple hours.

It's a thing I do before

I land. We're good now.

- Jules, you hear that?

-Yeah.

Uh-huh. I hear it. I'm up.

-Are you okay?

-This alarm going off

is not a good omen

about this guy.

It's a sign, Ben.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it's not.

So you haven't

taken a Xanax, yet?

You told me to

wait a few hours.

You travel with your own robe?

Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen,

a smoke alarm went off

in one of the rooms,

but the problem has

been taken care of.

Our sincerest apologies.

Oh, yeah.

100 people, two elevators.

Definitely a sign.

Well, thanks for

escorting me back.

IVlmm-hmm.

You wanna see my room?

Oh, nice.

I mean, do you actually

wanna come in?

I have a tea kettle.

We could have tea or...

I'm ridiculously nervous

about tomorrow.

You can lie down.

I know you're tired.

I'll sit in the chair.

Here you go.

I thought you were

gonna sit in a chair?

Please let me be here.

I need to lie down, too.

We don't have to talk

about work or anything.

All right. What should

we talk about?

Marriage?

Will you tell me

about your wife?

She was great, right?

She was.

Molly was her name.

She was

a middle school principal.

Beloved.

So perfect. Long marriage?

Not long enough.

42 years.

Wow. What was that like?

You know when people say

they wanna grow old together?

-IVlmm-hmm.

-Well, we did that.

We met when we were 20.

Well, I was 20. She was 19.

And what was amazing is,

she never really changed.

That's a hard thing

to pull off.

She handled life

like it was easy.

Always.

Even when it wasn't.

God, I envy that.

Are you hungry?

We have gummy bears,

chocolate chips, Pringles

Yup. I'm just gonna

bring the whole thing.

You know those are,

like, 15 bucks each?

Benjamin, I run

a very big Internet company.

Let's go crazy.

Okay.

So...

So...

Yeah, SO...

I got a weird one for you.

Matt is cheating on me.

Wait a minute.

You know about this?

What does that mean?

Wait, you know about this?

I saw them together.

Oh, my God, when?

Yesterday.

I'm sorry.

I mean, it was an accident

that I saw them, but I did.

Yesterday.

Then it is still going on.
