The Internship
1
An old man...
...turned ninety-eight.
Won the lottery and
died the next day.
Why is this sh*t on
the get-psyched mix?
If I don't throw you
a curveball, you get
bored and the mix loses
its intended effect.
I want to get revved up and
this song isn't doing it.
I defy you to crush this
chorus and not get psyched.
Won't happen.
Don't you think?
It's like rain...
...on your wedding day.
A free ride...
...when you've already paid.
It's good advice...
Help me out here!
...that you just didn't take.
And who would have thought?
It figures.
Mr. Play It Safe...
Classic Alants.
...was afraid to fly.
He was afraid.
- Bring it home.
- Oh, yeah.
Go home, Papi. Yes!
We got our jam on now.
Jump to it!
It was a dry June.
It needn't be said out loud,
but we need this sale.
I'm so confident
we'll close this,
I'm ordering the
Pappy Van Winkle.
It's pricey, but I want to
spiritually invest in our success.
If you didn't order the Pappy,
I'd send you back to the car...
...to listen to the
get-psyched mix again!
Go over the stat sheet.
Bob Williams. Married 16 years.
Wife Karen. One daughter.
That's page one. Let me
hip you to page two.
Daughter's name is Skyler.
Big into
gymnastics. Aces on
the pommel horse.
He don't just tell it, he
shows it with pictures.
Everyone's searching for
something, right, Bob?
Love. Success.
But what's the one thing
no one can get more of?
Time.
And you can't fight it.
Oh, you don't have to tell me.
Look at my little girl.
How old is Skyler now?
Just turned nine.
Nine?! Skyler's nine?!
Good Lord. How old does
that make all of us?
Don't answer that, Bob!
I was about to answer.
Soon she'll be borrowing
Karen's makeup and
you'll have two
beauties on your hands!
Lock the door. It's coming.
Double digits.
hell on the pommel horse?
Want to see a photo? If
it's not too much trouble.
Let me show you Sky.
Look at her.
She's really sprouted.
Yeah, Skyler's really
slimming down.
I'll tell you what, she's
eating really healthy.
Mostly fruits and nuts.
Her choice.
No telling what this girl on a
squirrel diet could end up doing.
Win us the gold, make us proud?
Damn right she could. I think
she's already made you proud.
Guilty, my friend.
Oh, guys, it goes so fast.
track, clickety-clack.
Now she's got a boyfriend... a
guy you'll like, hopefully.
Clickety-clack, she's married.
Clickety-clack, she's
putting you in a home!
She would do it, too.
She would.
Only when you forget who she is.
I'm kidding!
It feels good to laugh
about Alzheimer's.
You can't control time.
But you can manage it.
Mmm. Bob...
...the Chronoshock
Aught Thirteen.
Carpe diem. These babies
will fly off your shelf.
I know you have six
stores now, so you'll
probably want a larger
order than last year's.
You're kidding, right?
Your business has been folded.
I'm sorry?
No, there's been some chatter. The
last few years have been rough.
But who hasn't felt the pinch?
They didn't tell you, did they?
grab dinner for old times' sake.
Your company is closed. I hate
to be the one telling you that.
I know that I can't buy
the watches because...
...your company doesn't exist
anymore, but I wish I could!
That's how good you guys are!
One round of Pappy Van Winkle.
Enjoy, gentlemen.
Oh.
Wow. That is expensive stuff.
You know, Bob, uh...
...do you mind...
Say no more. I'm doing this.
Let's slice the pie three ways.
That's silly. I'm doing
really, really...
really well right now and
you guys are not... at all.
Let me do this.
Let's just split it. Go Dutch.
Okay.
Let's be three Dutchmen. But
this Dutchman's going to pay
when he can in a couple weeks.
What the f***, Sammy?
What the f*** me?
What the f*** you!
Who told you you could
barge into my office
without an appointment?
You closed the company?!
Then you send us out on a
Bob Williams drop
that bomb on us?!
Bob Williams' got a
big f***ing mouth.
Yeah, he does.
Forget the sale. Nobody
wears a watch anymore...
Disagree. Cite your source.
Kids, maybe. There's
a broader market.
Lorraine, what time is it?
10:
26.One hip pioneering secretary
does not a cultural trend make.
She's 75. Watches are
obsolete, and so are you two.
Obsolete? What does that mean?
It means everything's
computerized now!
It's cheaper for a machine
to tell companies
what to order than a
manufacturer's rep.
No, people have a deep
mistrust of machines.
Have you seen "Terminator"?
Or "Two"? Or "Three"?
Or "Four"?
Yep. Mmm-hmm. All of them.
People want to deal with
people, not Terminators.
People hate people!
Times have changed.
That's so negative.
Luckily I saw this coming, cashed
out, bought a condo in Miami...
...new tits for the wife. Silicone.
It's legal again.
Saline's out?
Me and the old lady will
be tucked away nice.
Great for you, huh? Perfect.
So that's it, right?
But what about us, Sammy?
You two were great salesmen.
The best!
But at the end of the
day, you're grinders.
Foot soldiers. You'll
never be generals.
I'm going to say
something harsh now.
Now you're going to
say something harsh?
Strap it in, 'cause it
ain't pretty out there.
And you two are dinosaurs.
Face it. Where you're going...
...you've already been.
Thank you for your service.
What are we going to do?
I don't know.
But I have to worry
about the now.
I don't know what I'm
going to say to Megan.
It's like rain...
No. Let it play.
For the love of
God, let it play.
It's a free ride when
you've already paid.
Go.
Megan, let's talk about this.
Is it because I'm too unselfish in bed?
I can change.
It won't be easy,
but I'll do it.
It's always darkest
before the dawn.
No, Billy. It's actually darkest
in the middle of the night.
Enough's going on without
arguing about proverbs.
I knew things weren't great, but to
come home to a foreclosure sign?
Can we hug? Can I touch it? No!
I could have avoided this if the
Bob Williams deal hadn't gone bad.
You blew that?
Not so much that I blew it
as the company shut down
and took our jobs away.
Sweetheart, I promise I
can pay for all of this.
It's not about the money, Billy.
This is about you.
You talk a big game, but
You say we'll go to Spain... but
have I ever been to Barcelona?
Barthelona! And not
yet, but we're going.
What?
We are not going to Barthelona.
We discussed going
to Barthelona...
...but we are never going
to go to Barthelona.
Not with that
attitude we're not.
Do you even hear yourself? Yes.
I'm glad you said some of that...
we're in a relationship and
I'm glad we're committed to it.
You know how badly I
want to believe that?
Because I've been with you a long
time and nothing ever gets better.
Honey, you're...
You're such a great guy...
