The Intern Page #3

I'm Ben, your new intern.

I'm glad you also see

the humor in this.

Be hard not to.

So, Ben...

I was gonna say

what is a nice guy like you

doing at 8 place like this?

But Cameron gave me the drill,

so can I just be

honest with you?

PIS3SS.

I'm not gonna have

a lot for you to do.

That's the truth.

And you being assigned to me

is kind of just

for me to set an example

for the rest of the team.

If you ask me,

I think that you'd be

much better off

working in creative

or marketing.

It's a little bit slower pace,

maybe a little bit

easier to grasp.

If you requested a transfer,

we can make that happen.

If that's what you'd prefer.

You'll be happier, believe me.

I am not so fun to work for.

That's what I gather,

but I can get along

with anyone,

and I'm here to learn

about your world,

give help where I can, so...

So, you don't wanna transfer?

Not really, sir.

I'm terribly sorry.

Excuse me.

Okay.

Well, then looks like

you're stuck with me.

Great, I'm excited.

I will e-mail you when I have

something for you to do.

Or I could just stop by

a few times a day, check in...

I'll e-mail you.

Also, don't feel like

you have to dress up.

I mean, we're super cas here.

Well, I'm comfortable

in a suit, if it's okay.

No, it's fine. Old-school.

Exactly.

At least I'll stand out.

I don't think you need

a suit to do that.

True.

Well, I think we did it

in less than two minutes.

I'll wait to hear from you.

Okay.

Want the door open or closed?

Doesn't matter.

Open, actually.

You'll get used to me.

Look forward to it.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Howdy.

What do you need?

No.

What's up, Ben? Are you good?

Perfect.

Okay.

- The V-neck back tee?

- Okay.

-This is Holly.

-Can you run that up to them?

Yeah, no, no.

We love the whole line, IVlark.

Okay, so you can zoom out.

Like that.

I'm going to a meeting.

I'll be back in an hour.

We'll talk then?

And then you can

just click here to buy it.

Cool, yeah.

Hello? Hi, yeah.

All right. You staying?

Can't leave before

the boss leaves, Davis.

Looks like you're

gonna be here a while.

All right.

See you in the morning, Ben.

-Have a good night.

-You, too.

Let's make it happen.

Thanks.

How about I push, you deliver?

Thank you.

I like that there's four faves

instead of three,

but can I see the one

-without the jacket just to...

-Sure.

Hi.

Okay, so they wanna know

what customers bought

who didn't come back,

so they can spot a problem

if there is one, right?

Yeah, but I don't

understand how to...

All right, here's what

I think we should do.

-Ben! Ben!

-We should go...

Hey, hey, look.

Here she comes.

Watch how she won't even...

Hey, Beck. What's up?

You look really nice.

How long can a woman

be mad at you for?

Well, it kind of depends

on what you did.

Well, first of all,

nothing on purpose.

We were going out

for a minute.

I thought she was cool.

I really liked her.

But then, I sort of

accidentally slept

with her roommate.

That doesn't help.

I didn't know she was

her roommate. I met her out.

How would I know that?

- Hey, Nikki!

-Ben, tell me.

I don't know this stuff

You're olden

You've been through a lot.

I mean,

you have a lot of experience.

How long do you think

she'll be mad at me for?

Jay, I have zero experience

with women,

and I can tell you, there's

no coming back from that one.

I assume you talked to her,

apologized,

told her how much

she means to you...

Well, you know...

You didn't talk to her?

What did you do,

send her a tweet?

No, of course not. I, like,

texted her a billion times.

She didn't answer,

so then I e-mailed her.

But it was, like,

a nice e-mail.

It was along one,

well-thought-out.

Subject line I wrote,

llllm Sorrylll

with like a ton of "O's."

So it was like, "I'm sorry,"

with a sad emoticon

where he's crying at the side

of its little cheek.

I should probably actually

just talk to her, huh?

Obviously.

Can't imagine it would hurt.

Oh, did yesterday's

numbers come in?

Yeah.

We could do it

that way, too.

I noticed my intern

sure keeps busy.

Mr. Congeniality.

He's a very big hit.

Everybody loves him.

Okay, do not look

at that desk.

It's like the office

junk drawer.

It's just gonna

drive you crazy.

You just did that.

What are you,

preparing for surgery?

Okay, seriously?

How did this even happen?

No, no, I can set it up.

She's just in a meeting.

Hi, something

I can help you with?

Yes, Jules spilled soy sauce

on her Saint Laurent jacket.

Can you take it

to the photo studio?

There's lots of cleaners

and stuff in there.

-Sure, where is it?

-She's wearing it.

They would like us

to consider the possibility...

Okay.

...of meeting with

some potential CEOs.

Wow.

I did not see that coming.

why? uh...

Am I too inexperienced

at running a business?

I didn't go to Harvard?

My methods aren't by the book?

I mean,

isn't that how we got here?

Really?

I need adult supervision?

Could we be doing better?

We hit our five-year goal

in nine months.

Exactly.

Jules, we can't keep up

with our own success.

You know that.

You're an hour late

to every meeting.

We have a name for it,

"Jules Standard Time."

And look, I get it. There's

only so many hours in the day.

We're all playing catch-up.

Our tech guys work until

2:
00, 3:00 in the morning.

Customer service is slammed.

We're running out

of inventory.

We've got shipping issues

and programing problems,

and the bigger we get,

the more complicated

it's gonna get.

But isn't this

what a startup is?

What?

Say it. What is everyone

so worried about?

That it's all going too fast,

and it could get away from us.

Our investors just think

that a seasoned CEO

could take some things

off your plate.

That's all. Just free you up

to do what you do great.

You come up with the ideas,

and let somebody else

make the trains run on time.

But, Cameron, this new person,

they are going to want to

do things their way.

Technically, be my boss.

I mean, how can I do what I do

if I have to report

to someone else,

run every idea I have

by this person?

And can you see that working?

Well, Gilt Groupe

brought in a CEO.

How are they doing?

I mean, get me CEO lessons,

you know?

Uh, excuse me.

I apologize, but Becky said

you needed something

taken care of on yourjacket

Oh, right.

Thank you, Ben.

Of course.

The VCs made up a list

of potential CEOs.

Let's just take

a look at the list.

Explore it, then decide.

Baby steps.

Ben.

Something big

going on in there?

I couldn't say.

You were in there a long time.

I can't hear a thing.

Psst!

Say something

about me to her.

No, you have to do it.

On my way, boss.

Hmm. Boss.

Hey, Ben. Ben.

How old's that briefcase?

It's a 1973

Executive Ashburn attach.

They don't make it anymore.

I'm a little in love with it.

It's a classic, Lewis.

It's unbeatable.

Good night.

Bye.

Morning.

Oh, my God.

Somebody cleaned up that desk.

I swear, I was gonna stay late
