When We First Met Page #7

- Where's the button to...

- Incoming call from work.

I don't know how to... No, thank you.

- Incoming call from...

- Decline the call!

Hello? Anyone here?

Someone tell me where I sit?

What the...? Okay.

- Hello?

- Surprise!

Congratulations, Noah.

Ever since your first day as an assistant,

no one has worked harder

or wanted it more.

Son, you've earned this.

- Earned what exactly?

- This.

Your new office,

Mr. Senior Vice President.

This is my office, huh?

Mr. Chun came from Shanghai

specifically to be here for this.

Congratulations, Mr. Ashby.

This is great news.

With our biggest accounts,

your success is our success.

It's a ton of Chinese.

Thank you so much.

I speak Chinese?!

That's so cool!

I don't even know what I'm saying.

Well, according to most prognosticators,

with our large-cap portfolios

outperforming this bear market...

What is Mandarin for

Get a room, you two?

...it should elicit fortuitous returns.

Absolutely right.

Whoo.

Holy sh*t! I know some big ass words!

I don't know what you said.

Yes. You seem happy.

He's so awesome!

So I'm happy. Is this kid great?

Let me give you a tour of the place,

Mr. Chun. Show you under the hood?

- All-star.

- Thank you.

Thanks a lot, Terrence.

Thanks a lot, Darryl. Bill.

I know your names. Big Jeff.

Little Tony. Hey, Claudette. Rob. Carl.

- Thank you, Courtney.

- So great.

Sharon. She's got a sick kid.

I feel bad for her.

I don't know how I know that.

I know everyone's name.

Max! What's up, my man? Whoo. We did it.

Yeah, we. Did it. Yeah.

Yes, we did.

Do you mind if I steal you from the parade

and talk to you real quick?

Uh, yeah, sure. Come on.

Welcome to Noah's lair.

Ooh, this is sweet, dude.

Whoa.

Look what we got here.

Mr. Senior Vice President.

- May I?

- You may.

- Ah.

- This is cool, right?

I... am accomplished.

- Yeah.

- It's pretty incredible.

- Mm-hmm.

- That's cool.

- Are you okay?

- Hey, do me a favor.

- Can you look at this on my back for me?

- Sure.

What am I looking for? That mole?

Yeah, I'd get that checked out.

No, look for the knife

you stabbed me in the back with

when you stole my promotion.

I've been busting my ass

for three years trying to get this.

This has been my plan, Noah. It's my plan.

What are you talking about?

That's good.

Play dumb and act like it wasn't me

who got you a job here in the first place.

Me who doctored

your pathetic little rsum.

I literally begged Costigan

to hire you here.

Okay. Then there has to be

something that I could do.

You know? I'm the senior VP.

- You're my best friend...

- Friend?

No, no, no, no.

We haven't been friends for years.

You used to be chill, really cool.

And then you turned into

a corporate ass-kissing piece of sh*t!

So we're what? Enemies?

F*** you.

Oh, uh, can I borrow your pen?

Yeah.

I'll leave you two.

I lied.

Oh, my God.

It's just from stress eating.

Oh. Um, sorry to bother you, sir,

but you shouldn't be in here right now.

You're 20 minutes late

for the meeting with the Avalon execs.

You know what? I think...

I am gonna need an hour of personal time.

- Thank you.

- Uh, it's...

That's impossible.

Closing this deal will pay for

your wedding and your honeymoon in Fiji.

I'm gonna go to Fiji with Avery?

That would be pretty awesome.

When will this meeting be over with?

- In an hour.

- Good.

- Then you have your flight to Charlotte.

- I'm going to North Carolina today?

You return late afternoon,

and then you prep for...

Just let me see that. What is this?

It says that I'm booked every day

for the next three months.

What if I bailed on that business trip

and took a very well-deserved half day?

Sir, no. You would be fired instantly.

Seriously, do not do that.

Remember Davis? He's homeless now.

I drive by his tent

on the way to work every day.

It's kind of cute. He's got his dog

out there and everything, but...

Anyways, congrats on your engagement.

You're a lucky man.

I'd like to go over a couple of quick

scheduling changes that you've got.

Omaha on the 15th...

I made it. I made it.

So, sorry I'm late.

Have you guys seen Avery?

Sorry I'm late. Have you seen...?

Those snacks look good,

but I can't have any.

I'm putting myself on a diet.

Have you guys seen Avery at all?

Avery's parents. Really nice to meet you.

- Meet us?

- Again.

Nice to... It's good to see you.

Honestly, it's good to see you.

Cousin Shannon.

Wow, you do look like Garth.

I could tell.

Thank you.

Wow. Okay.

Well, now that I have your attention,

if anyone has seen my beautiful fiance,

please let her know that her presence

is requested at the piano,

where I would like to kick things off

with a song that I played for Avery

on the night we first met.

Ohhh.

I used to do this for a living.

That's not how the song goes at all,

so let's try that again.

Is the piano out of tune? Something...

All right. A-one more time! Hit it!

I, uh, must be rusty.

But, you know, the jet lag is kicking in.

As soon as Avery joins the duet,

I feel that I will have my groove back.

Has anyone seen Avery, by the way?

Hey, dude.

- That was beautiful.

- Thank you.

- I don't believe when you say that.

- Good.

Been a while since I've played.

Have you seen Avery anywhere?

She's with Ethan.

What?

Holy sh*t. What happened to him?

We think it might have been the taquitos.

Right, Ethan?

So what happened?

Did your flight get delayed,

or did you hit traffic?

I am so sorry.

I truly tried to get here as fast as...

Okay, why is he here exactly?

I'm-I'm leaving anyway.

Um, don't eat the taquitos

or seven-layer dip.

Poor thing, wait. You wanna lay down

on our bed for a minute?

I think he wants to probably lay down

in his own bed.

Here. Here you go, big guy.

We'll get you some fresh air,

some Pepto chewables.

I have 'em in the glove compartment,

so I'll take him.

Are you sure? But you just got here.

I'm sure everybody wants to say hi.

- Maybe Carrie can take him home.

- It'll be quick.

- So... You look so good, by the way.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

- I love you so much.

Okay. Let's go ahead and get you home.

Forever.

Please don't puke in my back seat.

Um...

Look, I'm sorry. I'm...

I mean,

those taquitos are a silent killer.

No. No, it wasn't the taquitos.

- Was it the seven-layer dip?

- It was...

- Look, I made it up. Okay?

- Oh, did you?

Because I'm a liar, okay? I'm no good.

I even stole a plate.

What kind of a**hole steals a plate?

A beautiful plate.

I've never stolen anything in my life.

I don't know what's come over me.

I've just become this... terrible person.

- You're too nice.

- No.

If that makes sense.

Like, I, you know... Sometimes I'm like,

Ah, Ethan. I don't really like Ethan,

because he's such a nice guy.

No, I'm not. Okay?

I've been coveting thy neighbor's wife

in my mind.

Hey, not cool!

It isn't cool, and I would recommend

that you stop doing that.

I'm just gonna... I'm gonna tell you,
