because you wanted

to hear some of this.

Yes.

And maybe also

because you're my...

Intern.

Well, I was gonna say

intern/best friend.

But there's no need to get

all sentimental about it,

eventhough

we could potentially

be buried together.

Can't get closer than that.

It's moments like this

when you need someone

you know you can count on.

So thank you.

I like your house

so much, by the way.

Thanks.

So...

Shall we?

Okay.

Welcome back, you two.

Jules, I have something cool

to show you.

Do you remember taking

a customer service call

about a bride whose

bridesmaids' dresses

showed up in gray,

and we had the vendor

remake them overnight

and put them on a plane?

Yeah. Yeah. Rachel.

-Check this out.

The silk chiffon

Antoinette dress.

They look beautiful.

Oh, and these just arrived

from Mark Townsend.

-Here.

-Thanks.

Becky? Give me

Townsend's number, will you?

Okay.

This is Jules.

Hey, Alonzo, what's up?

Uh-huh. Okay.

Do we need that many?

I hope I'm not too late.

Don't do this for me, Jules.

Please?

Just do what

feels right for you.

Oh, my God.

I wanna continue

running my company, Matt.

You gotta know that.

Then do it. I don't

want you to be unhappy.

I'm already unhappy.

I need to tell you something.

I know.

Just tell me,

is it almost over?

I don't know

how much longer I can...

No, it's over.

I can't tell you how sorry

and ashamed I am.

I thought I could do it.

I thought I could be the guy

that I told you

I was going to be.

And then

somewhere along the way...

I thought I was losing you.

But it was actually me.

I got lost.

It's a confusing

world out there,

and who I am got messed up

for a minute.

And now I'm watching you

ready to give

all this up for me.

I will not let that happen.

I love you,

and I will do so much better

if you'll let me.

Please, Jules.

Let me make it right again.

You know what would be good?

If you carried a handkerchief.

Have you called Townsend yet?

Because if I've

ever met anyone

who doesn't need a boss

that was you.

I was just about to call him

and tell him

I changed my mind.

I mean, we're good here.

We're gonna make it.

I'm gonna make sure

we make it.

Good.

Oh.

Becky, where's Ben?

I'm not sure. He said

he was taking the day off.

Fiona.

Do you know where Ben is?

Hi.

Okay.

-I'm so sorry to interrupt.

-That's okay. Here.

Extend your left arm, Jules.

-Left knee up.

-IVlmm-hmm.

Breathe and relax

for inner balance.

-Am I doing it right?

-Almost.

Got something good

to tell you.

Great. Tell me

when we're done.

Breathe deeply, Jules.

That's it, out there.

This up.
