The Intern Page #7

Where is he? Do you know?

Thank you.

You must think I'm demented.

Not the word I would use,

but I was a little surprised

when I got the call.

Jules, I apologize

if I overstepped in some way.

No. No, no, no, no.

Please don't apologize.

You have done nothing wrong.

Look, I have a lot going on,

and I'm a very private person.

And at first,

I don't know, I thought

maybe this wasn't gonna work,

but I was wrong.

-Let me get one of those.

-No,no,no.

No.

Jules, no explanation

necessary. Please.

No, actually, one is, because

I am usually better than this.

The truth is...

Something about you

makes me feel calm

or more centered or something.

And I could use that.

Obviously.

I hope you'll accept

my apology

and come back to work for me.

If you want...

And I'm not just saying this

because I screwed up

this morning.

But I was thinking that

I'd like to bring you up

to my area, next to Becky.

I know you can

handle more work.

If you'd like more. I...

Oh, God, I can't tell you

how much I hate

that Ijumped the gun

and I made you feel...

I'm coming back.

I'm happy to come back.

Excellent.

Can I give you a lift

back to the office?

Sure, thanks. Can I take this?

No. Thanks.

Actually, do you mind driving?

I don't technically

have a license.

Sure.

This is... This is crazy, Ben.

Two desks are

not gonna fit in here.

No, I promise,

I'll stay out of your way.

But it's impossible because

now I don't have room for...

-JULES2 Hi.

-Hi.

This is good, right?

-Yeah.

-I like this arrangement.

Uh, Becky, I want you to let

Ben give you a hand, okay?

And cc him on all my e-mails.

Did we get

yesterday's numbers?

Uh, yes, we did.

I saw them here.

-Here you go.

- Thanks.

And I need to go over the data

on customer purchase patterns.

Let Ben take

a look at that, too.

Actually, let Ben

take a look at that first.

Okay.

Don't worry, Becky.

Backup's good.

Ping me when Cameron gets in.

Hey.

Becky?

I've been here

nine months, Ben,

and she's never asked me

to take a look at anything

for her ever, okay?

Ihearyou.

That's frustrating.

I mean, totally.

I graduated from Penn.

I have a business degree.

But I never seem to do

anything right around here.

And you're, like,

50 years older than me

and you're deaf.

I happen to think

you do a lot of things right.

You do so much.

I know. I know that.

-l\/Imm-hmm.

-But she doesn't. I mean,

I bust my ass for her

14 hours a day,

and she never notices.

Om oh, my God.

I hate girls who cry at work.

How about if you,

just as an experiment,

try letting me help you.

A lot of your stress

is gonna be lifted

once you're out from

under this mountain of worry.

And maybe you should

consider leaving here

at a normal hour

once in a while.

See your friends.

Have a little fun.

IVlmm-hmm. I can offer

my assistance in this area.

I would love to, actually.

I just don't want her to think

that I can't do my job

and I need an intern

to help me.

Okay, you're not

gonna wanna hear this,

but I heard women who sleep

less than seven hours a night

gain 38% more weight

than women who sleep more

than seven hours a night.

What? I leave here at 11:00.

I get back at 7:
00.

I sleep, like,

five hours a night,

and now I'm gonna get fat?

Let's get through this stuff.

Let's do it together.

Let's clean-slate it.

Let's just do it.

All right.

Very nice, St. Louis.

-Ah, suede jacket in D. C.

- Oh, my God.

I cannot believe how well

that sweater is doing.

-I'm so happy.

Beautiful, IVliami! Thank you.

--Oh, look at Chicago!

She put the same boots

in her cart

as the woman from Houston.

Okay, let's see what

she does at checkout.

--She's not buying them either.

Okay, maybe check

the delivery cost

-on those boots?

-IVlmm-hmm.

- Knock-knock.

-Hey.

Hi. I took a look at

the data purchase patterns.

Uh, should I come back?

No, no, come on in.

That was fast.

Well, I enlisted Becky's help.

It seems the most expensive

place you're advertising

is actually bringing you

the customers

who are spending the least.

And the channels

you're least investing in

are adding enormous value

in segments

that currently appear

to have low value,

but actually have the

highest spending potential.

That's what I could

tell so far.

Oh, Ben!

Can you, like,

deal with that for me?

Maybe come up

with a better plan?

I mean, if you have the time?

Happy to.

The man spent

40 years in business.

Yeah, no, I get it.

And, Jules, Becky

was a huge help in this.

You know, she has

a business degree from Penn?

I know.

I mean, I forgot, but I know.

I'll say something to her.

That would be very nice.

Hey. How's it goin'

up here in first class?

Busy. I see you

found an apartment.

No. My two weeks are up.

I'm movin' in with my cousin.

-Excellent.

-In Philadelphia.

-Davis.

-What? I'll get there

by 11:
00, leave at 5:00.

It's cool. I can handle it.

You know, I feel like

everybody's uncle around here.

Yeah, why is that?

Because I'm gonna

save your ass,

and I'm gonna put you up

for a few weeks. Obviously.

Ben, thank you.

Thank you,

thank you, thank you!

Okay. Okay. Easy, fella.

I like that you do

the throw pillow thing.

I was married for

a very long time.

IVlmm

Whoa! Is this your closet?

Busy man about town.

What's in all these drawers?

Boxers, T-shirts,

pocket squares, handkerchiefs

Okay, what's the deal

with the handkerchief?

That one I just

don't get at all.

Okay. It's essential.

That your generation

doesn't know that is criminal.

The best reason to carry

a handkerchief is to lend it.

-Hmm.

-Ask Jason about this.

Women cry, Davis.

We carry it for them.

One of the last vestiges

of the chivalrous gent.

Ah. Well, then

it's different than a po...

I know you wanna hang.

But I have to get some

sleep, kid. I'm pooped.

Good night, Ben.

Thanks again.

Will you wake me

in the morning,

or is that too much to ask?

-My parents always...

-Too much.

Understood. I'll just set

an alarm on my phone.

I hope I can hear it.

I'm such a deep sleeper.

Oh, my God. I'll wake you.

Thank you! Love you.

Not kidding.

I love you, too.

Now go to bed.

Here's some

more berries, guys.

Ben, can you pour me

more syrup, please?

Sure can.

There you go.

Perfect. Good job.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, boy. Okay, so this really

big CEO named Townsend,

the one everyone said would

never be interested in us

because we weren't

big enough for him?

IVIENI Yeah?

We're like your sister wives.

Well, we just found out

ne's beyond interested.

Exciting.

Yeah. Maybe.

Everyone's

flipping out about it,

but you know I'm still

on the fence at best.

Anyway, the only thing is,

I have to go to San Francisco

to meet him.

-He can't come here.

-When do you have to go?

The only day he can meet

is next Thursday.

Do you wanna come?

Maybe we can stay the weekend?

Oh, that sounds awesome.

Um... Oh.

Thursday I can't.
