This is what I get in return

00:03:04.850 --> 00:03:07.200 align:center
for 30 years of service
for my company?

00:03:07.505 --> 00:03:09.895 align:center
And they send some yo-yo
like you in here

00:03:10.334 --> 00:03:12.724 align:center
to try to tell me
that I’m out of a job?

00:03:12.814 --> 00:03:15.034 align:center
They should be telling you
you’re out of a job.

00:03:15.165 --> 00:03:17.425 align:center
You have a lot of gall
coming in here

00:03:17.515 --> 00:03:19.085 align:center
and firing
your number one producer.

00:03:19.169 --> 00:03:20.349 align:center
And then you’re going
to go home tomorrow

00:03:20.431 --> 00:03:21.341 align:center
and make more money

00:03:21.475 --> 00:03:22.385 align:center
than you’ve ever made
in your life,

00:03:22.998 --> 00:03:24.568 align:center
and I’m going to go home
without a pay check. Fuck you.

00:03:24.652 --> 00:03:26.872 align:center
I-- I just-- I guess
you leave me dumbfounded.

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:28.969 align:center
I don't-- I don’t know where
this is coming from.

00:03:29.048 --> 00:03:30.578 align:center
How am I supposed
to go back as a man

00:03:30.658 --> 00:03:32.968 align:center
and explain this to my wife
that I lost my job?

00:03:33.226 --> 00:03:34.616 align:center
On a stress level,

00:03:35.141 --> 00:03:38.701 align:center
I’ve heard that losing your job
is like a death in the family.

00:03:39.972 --> 00:03:43.012 align:center
But personally,
I feel more like...

00:03:44.455 --> 00:03:48.195 align:center
the people I worked with
were my family and I died.

00:03:48.937 --> 00:03:51.157 align:center
I can’t afford to be unemployed.

00:03:51.505 --> 00:03:53.555 align:center
I have a house payment.
I have children.

00:03:53.681 --> 00:03:56.111 align:center
Uh. Eh. I don’t know how
you can live with yourself,

00:03:56.380 --> 00:03:57.990 align:center
but I’m sure
that you’ll find a way

00:03:58.077 --> 00:03:59.517 align:center
while the rest of us
are suffering.

00:03:59.644 --> 00:04:01.124 align:center
Who the fuck are you, man?

00:04:02.995 --> 00:04:05.695 align:center
<i>Excellent question.
Who the fuck am I?</i>

00:04:05.867 --> 00:04:08.737 align:center
<i>Poor Steve has worked here
for seven years.</i>

00:04:08.870 --> 00:04:10.570 align:center
<i>He’s never had a meeting
with me before,</i>

00:04:10.655 --> 00:04:12.305 align:center
<i>or passed me in the hall...</i>

00:04:12.396 --> 00:04:14.656 align:center
<i>...or told me a story
in the break room.</i>

00:04:14.833 --> 00:04:16.573 align:center
<i>And that’s because
I don’t work here.</i>

00:04:16.704 --> 00:04:18.134 align:center
<i>I work for another company
that lends me out</i>

00:04:18.271 --> 00:04:20.051 align:center
<i>to pussies like Steve’s boss</i>

00:04:20.142 --> 00:04:22.622 align:center
<i>who don’t have the balls
to sack their own employees,</i>

00:04:22.710 --> 00:04:24.370 align:center
<i>and in some cases,
for good reason.</i>

00:04:24.451 --> 00:04:26.841 align:center
<i>Because people do crazy shit
when they get fired.</i>

00:04:32.285 --> 00:04:34.465 align:center
Uh. Did... did...
did I do something wrong?

00:04:34.592 --> 00:04:36.542 align:center
I mean, is there something
I can do differently here?

00:04:36.637 --> 00:04:39.117 align:center
This is not an assessment
of your productivity.

00:04:39.292 --> 00:04:40.982 align:center
You gotta try
not to take this personally.

00:04:41.076 --> 00:04:43.816 align:center
"Don’t take it personally."

00:04:44.036 --> 00:04:46.736 align:center
Steven, I want you
to review this packet.

00:04:46.865 --> 00:04:48.905 align:center
Take it seriously.
I think you’re gonna find

00:04:49.041 --> 00:04:50.561 align:center
a lot of good answers in here.

00:04:50.695 --> 00:04:53.435 align:center
I’m sure this is gonna be
very helpful, a packet.

00:04:53.567 --> 00:04:57.917 align:center
Thank you. A packet.

00:04:59.486 --> 00:05:02.616 align:center
Well, anybody who ever built
an empire or changed the world

00:05:02.750 --> 00:05:04.230 align:center
sat where you are right now.

00:05:04.926 --> 00:05:07.366 align:center
And it’s because they sat there,
they were able to do it.

00:05:08.190 --> 00:05:09.280 align:center
That’s the truth.

00:05:15.937 --> 00:05:17.417 align:center
I’m gonna need your keycard.

00:05:21.116 --> 00:05:23.906 align:center
Great. Okay.
Now, I want you to take the day,

00:05:24.119 --> 00:05:25.599 align:center
go get together
your personal things,

00:05:25.686 --> 00:05:29.126 align:center
and then tomorrow,
you get yourself some exercise.

00:05:29.211 --> 00:05:32.301 align:center
You go out for a jog,
you give yourself some routines,

00:05:32.389 --> 00:05:33.919 align:center
and pretty soon
you find your legs.

00:05:35.261 --> 00:05:37.001 align:center
How do I get in touch with you?

00:05:37.089 --> 00:05:38.619 align:center
Don’t worry, we'll be in touch
with you soon.

00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:39.839 align:center
This is just the beginning.

00:05:41.833 --> 00:05:44.183 align:center
<i>I’ll never see Steve again.</i>

00:06:01.766 --> 00:06:02.806 align:center
Thank you.

00:06:03.768 --> 00:06:05.818 align:center
<i>To know me is to fly with me.</i>

00:06:05.900 --> 00:06:07.300 align:center
<i>This is where I live.</i>

00:06:11.036 --> 00:06:12.956 align:center
<i>When I run my card,
the system automatically</i>

00:06:13.038 --> 00:06:14.168 align:center
<i>prompts the desk clerk</i>

00:06:14.256 --> 00:06:16.126 align:center
<i>to greet me
with this exact statement.</i>

00:06:16.955 --> 00:06:18.735 align:center
Pleasure to see you again,
Mr. Bingham.

00:06:18.870 --> 00:06:20.180 align:center
<i>It’s these kinds of systemized,</i>

00:06:20.306 --> 00:06:22.566 align:center
<i>friendly touches
that keep my world in orbit.</i>

00:06:58.605 --> 00:06:59.915 align:center
<i>All the things
you probably hate</i>

00:06:59.998 --> 00:07:01.048 align:center
<i>about traveling,</i>

00:07:01.347 --> 00:07:03.177 align:center
<i>the recycled air,
the artificial lighting,</i>

00:07:03.262 --> 00:07:06.262 align:center
<i>the digital juice dispensers,
the cheap sushi,</i>

00:07:06.831 --> 00:07:08.831 align:center
<i>are warm reminders
that I’m home.</i>

00:07:22.324 --> 00:07:23.454 align:center
Do you want the cancer?

00:07:26.938 --> 00:07:28.938 align:center
The what?
Do you want the cancer?

00:07:29.157 --> 00:07:30.207 align:center
The cancer?

00:07:31.464 --> 00:07:32.984 align:center
The can, sir?

00:07:33.205 --> 00:07:35.725 align:center
Oh. No.
I’m fine, thank you.

00:07:58.883 --> 00:08:00.753 align:center
How much does your life weigh?

00:08:02.669 --> 00:08:05.459 align:center
Imagine for a second
that you’re carrying a backpack.

00:08:05.629 --> 00:08:09.329 align:center
I want you to feel the straps
on your shoulders. Feel them?

00:08:11.025 --> 00:08:12.335 align:center
Now, I want you to pack it

00:08:12.505 --> 00:08:14.505 align:center
with all the stuff
that you have in your life.

00:08:14.638 --> 00:08:15.728 align:center
You start
with the little things,

00:08:15.813 --> 00:08:18.203 align:center
the things on shelves
and in drawers,

00:08:18.293 --> 00:08:20.463 align:center
the knickknacks,
the collectibles.

00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:22.689 align:center
Feel the weight as that adds up.

00:08:23.603 --> 00:08:25.123 align:center
Then you start adding
larger stuff,

00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:31.090 align:center
clothes, tabletop appliances,
lamps, linens, your TV.

00:08:32.046 --> 00:08:33.616 align:center
The backpack should be
getting pretty heavy now.

00:08:33.744 --> 00:08:34.784 align:center
And you go bigger.

00:08:35.789 --> 00:08:38.749 align:center
Your couch, bed,
your kitchen table.

00:08:38.836 --> 00:08:41.446 align:center
Stuff it all in there.
Your car, get it in there.

00:08:42.230 --> 00:08:44.930 align:center
Your home, whether
it’s a studio apartment

00:08:45.059 --> 00:08:46.539 align:center
or a two-bedroom house,

00:08:46.713 --> 00:08:49.583 align:center
I want you to stuff it
all into that backpack.

00:08:51.936 --> 00:08:53.026 align:center
Now, try to walk.

00:08:55.113 --> 00:08:56.723 align:center
It’s kind of hard, isn't it?

00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.209 align:center
This is what we do to ourselves
on a daily basis.

00:09:00.292 --> 00:09:03.162 align:center
We weigh ourselves down
until we can’t even move.

00:09:03.295 --> 00:09:06.475 align:center
And make no mistake,
moving is living.

00:09:07.386 --> 00:09:09.866 align:center
Now, I’m gonna set
that backpack on fire.

00:09:09.954 --> 00:09:12.344 align:center
What do you want
to take out of it? Photos?

00:09:13.392 --> 00:09:15.172 align:center
Photos are for people
who can’t remember.

00:09:15.307 --> 00:09:17.357 align:center
Drink some ginkgo
and let the photos burn.

00:09:18.266 --> 00:09:20.486 align:center
In fact, let everything burn

00:09:20.573 --> 00:09:23.613 align:center
and imagine waking up tomorrow
with nothing.

00:09:25.665 --> 00:09:27.445 align:center
It’s kind of exhilarating,
isn’t it?

00:09:35.588 --> 00:09:37.418 align:center
Welcome back, Mr. Bingham.

00:09:46.251 --> 00:09:48.201 align:center
Ryan Bingham’s office.

00:09:48.558 --> 00:09:50.738 align:center
You put me in a Dodge Stratus
in Kansas City.

00:09:51.038 --> 00:09:52.648 align:center
They were completely
out of all full-size sedans.

00:09:52.779 --> 00:09:53.829 align:center
- Did you try--
<i>- Yes.</i>

00:09:53.911 --> 00:09:55.911 align:center
<i>I reminded them
of your remarkable</i>

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:57.830 align:center
No.1 Gold Club status
and years in the program.

00:09:57.915 --> 00:09:59.085 align:center
They are literally
moving mountains

00:09:59.177 --> 00:10:00.137 align:center
to see you in a Sebring.

00:10:00.352 --> 00:10:02.482 align:center
Fair enough.
Any other messages?

00:10:02.572 --> 00:10:04.352 align:center
<i>Uh. Your sister Kara called.</i>

00:10:04.530 --> 00:10:07.020 align:center
Needs to speak urgently
about your sister’s wedding.

00:10:07.098 --> 00:10:08.538 align:center
I told her you were mid-air

00:10:08.621 --> 00:10:10.231 align:center
and not even I knew
your final destination.

00:10:10.362 --> 00:10:11.362 align:center
Well done.

00:10:11.885 --> 00:10:14.145 align:center
And you got an invitation
to speak at Goalquest in Vegas.

00:10:15.889 --> 00:10:17.029 align:center
Goalquest 20?

00:10:17.238 --> 00:10:19.418 align:center
<i>Every once in a while,
I do speaking engagements,</i>

00:10:19.501 --> 00:10:20.761 align:center
<i>motivational kind of stuff.</i>

00:10:20.851 --> 00:10:22.321 align:center
<i>But Goalquest?</i>

00:10:22.461 --> 00:10:24.501 align:center
<i>We’re talking
major Tony Robbins shit.</i>

00:10:24.637 --> 00:10:27.987 align:center
It’s got a hologram on it.
They’re calling it Dos Equis.

00:10:28.859 --> 00:10:30.519 align:center
All right, I’ll check in.

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:31.910 align:center
Hold on. I’ve got
Craig Gregory for you.

00:10:32.036 --> 00:10:34.126 align:center
Wait-- No. Uh. Ah, fuck.

00:10:35.126 --> 00:10:37.256 align:center
How is my little road warrior?

00:10:37.345 --> 00:10:40.435 align:center
Hey, 20 minutes from boarding
into a world of bliss.

00:10:40.522 --> 00:10:42.782 align:center
Real good numbers
out of Phoenix, Ry guy.

00:10:42.873 --> 00:10:44.613 align:center
Hey, you know that, uh,
Big Auto is about to cut

00:10:44.701 --> 00:10:46.351 align:center
another 10K before the end
of the month?

00:10:46.485 --> 00:10:48.265 align:center
No kidding.
Yeah. Christmas came early.

00:10:48.356 --> 00:10:49.966 align:center
I wish I could have you
in five places at once,

00:10:50.054 --> 00:10:52.054 align:center
but I need you back in Omaha
by the end of the week.

00:10:52.186 --> 00:10:53.706 align:center
I thought
you needed me everywhere.

00:10:53.797 --> 00:10:55.237 align:center
Well, you know, we got
something real big here,

00:10:55.363 --> 00:10:56.363 align:center
a real game changer.

00:10:57.104 --> 00:10:58.974 align:center
- What are we talking about here?
<i>- You’ll see.</i>

00:10:59.106 --> 00:11:03.896 align:center
Today I took my first crap
in two weeks, hallelujah.

00:11:04.068 --> 00:11:06.898 align:center
That’s me hanging up on you.
Great, love that sound.

00:11:27.047 --> 00:11:28.617 align:center
Are you satisfied with Maestro?

00:11:32.313 --> 00:11:33.223 align:center
Yeah, I am.

00:11:34.576 --> 00:11:36.666 align:center
A little stingy
with their miles. I like Hertz.

00:11:36.796 --> 00:11:38.846 align:center
No, Hertz keeps
its vehicles too long.

00:11:39.277 --> 00:11:41.937 align:center
If a car has over 20,000 miles,
I won’t drive it.

00:11:42.889 --> 00:11:44.629 align:center
Maestro doesn’t
instant checkout.

00:11:44.717 --> 00:11:46.197 align:center
I like to park and go.

00:11:46.414 --> 00:11:48.194 align:center
Hertz doesn’t guarantee
navigation.

00:11:48.286 --> 00:11:50.466 align:center
It's funny. You don’t seem like
a girl who needs directions.

00:11:50.549 --> 00:11:54.469 align:center
I hate asking for directions.
That’s why I get a nav.

00:11:55.728 --> 00:11:59.338 align:center
That new outfit,
Colonial, isn’t bad.

00:12:01.647 --> 00:12:03.307 align:center
Is that a joke?
Yes.

00:12:03.388 --> 00:12:05.518 align:center
Because
their kiosk placement blows.

00:12:05.607 --> 00:12:06.917 align:center
Yeah, they never have
available upgrades.

00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:08.750 align:center
Basically, it’s a fleet
of shit-boxes.

00:12:08.828 --> 00:12:11.098 align:center
I-- I don’t know
how they’re still in business.

00:12:11.265 --> 00:12:12.225 align:center
I’m Ryan.

00:12:12.397 --> 00:12:13.487 align:center
I’m Alex.

00:12:14.094 --> 00:12:16.184 align:center
All right.

00:12:17.315 --> 00:12:19.705 align:center
Oh. Maplewood card.

00:12:19.796 --> 00:12:22.366 align:center
How dare you bring that
into this palace?

00:12:22.450 --> 00:12:24.020 align:center
Hilton offers equal value
and better food,

00:12:24.104 --> 00:12:26.234 align:center
but the Maplewood gives out
warm cookies at check-in.

00:12:26.324 --> 00:12:27.624 align:center
Oh, they got you
with the cookies, did they?

00:12:27.717 --> 00:12:29.637 align:center
Yeah. I’m a sucker
for simulated hospitality.

00:12:29.719 --> 00:12:31.589 align:center
There’s an industry term
for that.

00:12:31.677 --> 00:12:35.157 align:center
It’s a mixture of, uh, "faux"
and "homey." "Faumey."

00:12:35.333 --> 00:12:37.503 align:center
Hmm. Oh, my God.

00:12:37.857 --> 00:12:40.297 align:center
I wasn’t sure
this actually existed.

00:12:40.425 --> 00:12:42.515 align:center
This is the, uh...
the American Airlines, uh--

00:12:42.601 --> 00:12:44.251 align:center
It’s a Concierge Key, yeah.

00:12:48.215 --> 00:12:51.135 align:center
Oh, what is that, carbon fiber?
Graphite.

00:12:51.566 --> 00:12:53.006 align:center
Oh, God, I love the weight.

00:12:53.090 --> 00:12:55.100 align:center
I was pretty excited the day
that bad boy came in.

00:12:55.179 --> 00:12:56.179 align:center
Yeah. I’ll say.

00:12:56.920 --> 00:12:58.970 align:center
I put up
pretty pedestrian numbers.

00:12:59.052 --> 00:13:00.962 align:center
Uh. Sixty thou a year, domestic.

00:13:02.142 --> 00:13:04.142 align:center
- That’s not bad.
- Don’t patronize me.

00:13:04.579 --> 00:13:06.369 align:center
What’s your total?
It’s a personal question.

00:13:06.451 --> 00:13:08.061 align:center
Oh, please.
And we hardly know each other.

00:13:08.148 --> 00:13:11.588 align:center
Oh, come on. Show some hubris.
Come on, impress me.

00:13:11.891 --> 00:13:14.241 align:center
I bet it’s huge.

00:13:14.502 --> 00:13:17.022 align:center
You have no idea.
Ah. How big?

00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:19.249 align:center
Huh? What is it, this big?

00:13:19.333 --> 00:13:20.423 align:center
Mm. Uh.

00:13:20.552 --> 00:13:22.112 align:center
This big?
I don’t want to brag.

00:13:22.206 --> 00:13:24.256 align:center
Oh, come on! Come on.

00:13:24.512 --> 00:13:27.212 align:center
Let’s just say I have a number
in mind. I haven’t hit it yet.

00:13:31.693 --> 00:13:33.213 align:center
This is pretty fucking sexy.

00:13:33.347 --> 00:13:35.217 align:center
Hope it doesn’t cheapen
our relationship.

00:13:36.568 --> 00:13:37.698 align:center
We’re two people
who get turned on

00:13:37.787 --> 00:13:38.837 align:center
by elite status.

00:13:38.918 --> 00:13:40.658 align:center
I think cheap
is our starting point.

00:13:41.181 --> 00:13:43.001 align:center
There’s nothing cheap
about loyalty.

00:13:46.970 --> 00:13:49.500 align:center
So, we came up
with this master plan,

00:13:49.581 --> 00:13:53.061 align:center
which was for me to put gauze,

00:13:53.150 --> 00:13:56.330 align:center
to put bandages on both
my... ...hands.

00:13:56.631 --> 00:13:58.371 align:center
Then we got on to the plane,

00:13:58.677 --> 00:14:01.987 align:center
transatlantic,
flying to, um, uh, Zurich.

00:14:02.072 --> 00:14:04.292 align:center
Walked up--
Waited till it was dark,

00:14:04.378 --> 00:14:06.858 align:center
and walked up
to the, uh, bathroom with her.

00:14:06.990 --> 00:14:08.000 align:center
Everybody was watching
the movie,

00:14:08.165 --> 00:14:09.205 align:center
and I was like...

00:14:09.601 --> 00:14:12.991 align:center
Opened up, went inside.
She opened the door for me,

00:14:13.083 --> 00:14:14.823 align:center
and came in
like she was gonna help me.

00:14:14.954 --> 00:14:16.474 align:center
And then, you know,
we gave it our best shot.

00:14:16.564 --> 00:14:19.084 align:center
It wasn’t great. But it was fun.
It was tricky. It's hard.

00:14:19.176 --> 00:14:21.566 align:center
Give me some details.
Well, it’s not so easy.

00:14:21.656 --> 00:14:23.396 align:center
Have you ever tried it?
It’s not so easy.

00:14:23.484 --> 00:14:24.394 align:center
Yes, I have.

00:14:25.573 --> 00:14:27.833 align:center
Really?
Really.

00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:35.759 align:center
You’ve done that?
I have done that.

00:14:36.280 --> 00:14:37.810 align:center
On a transatlantic flight?

00:14:37.890 --> 00:14:40.380 align:center
Mm. On a domestic flight.
Uh. Regional, actually.

00:14:40.806 --> 00:14:42.766 align:center
Hmm, like nighttime?
No, like daytime.

00:14:42.982 --> 00:14:44.852 align:center
- You...
- What?

00:14:45.332 --> 00:14:48.072 align:center
I mean, how do you do that?
Oh, I’m really flexible.

00:14:52.818 --> 00:14:54.348 align:center
- Look. Oh...
- Uh.

00:14:59.651 --> 00:15:01.261 align:center
Ah. I should throw these out.

00:15:03.350 --> 00:15:04.620 align:center
Uh.
Ah.

00:15:06.005 --> 00:15:08.095 align:center
Uh. We can always use that room
with the ice machine.

00:15:08.181 --> 00:15:09.311 align:center
Uh-huh. Here, look.

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.420 align:center
Good call
on that towel rack.

00:15:28.593 --> 00:15:30.893 align:center
I like how you burritoed me
in the sofa cushions.

00:15:31.030 --> 00:15:31.950 align:center
I was improvising.

00:15:33.380 --> 00:15:34.950 align:center
Shame we didn’t make it
to the closet.

00:15:35.078 --> 00:15:36.078 align:center
Mm.

00:15:36.993 --> 00:15:39.083 align:center
We gotta do this again.
Oh, yeah.

00:15:44.435 --> 00:15:46.475 align:center
All right, I’m in Newark
on the 12th,

00:15:46.567 --> 00:15:48.437 align:center
Modesto on the 13th,

00:15:49.048 --> 00:15:52.138 align:center
Oklahoma City on the 15th.
Any Southwest?

00:15:52.225 --> 00:15:54.445 align:center
I’ll be swinging by Albuquerque
week of the 16th.

00:15:54.532 --> 00:15:55.922 align:center
No, but I’ll be in Florida
on the 20th.

00:15:56.316 --> 00:15:58.496 align:center
Fort Lauderdale?
Miami.

00:15:58.623 --> 00:16:00.233 align:center
That’s nothing.
Forty minutes.

00:16:11.070 --> 00:16:12.340 align:center
I should probably
go back to my room,

00:16:12.419 --> 00:16:13.689 align:center
so, I can wake up in my bed.

00:16:14.552 --> 00:16:16.942 align:center
I think that would be
the ladylike thing to do.

00:16:24.997 --> 00:16:27.787 align:center
Nice meeting you.
A pleasure.

00:17:03.296 --> 00:17:04.256 align:center
Hello?

00:17:04.558 --> 00:17:06.218 align:center
<i>Hey, Ryan, how you holding up?</i>

00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:07.739 align:center
<i>Every family
has the one person</i>

00:17:07.822 --> 00:17:09.692 align:center
<i>who keeps the genealogy
in check.</i>

00:17:10.042 --> 00:17:12.212 align:center
<i>That’s my sister, Kara,
the glue.</i>

00:17:12.566 --> 00:17:14.746 align:center
Fine. You and the kids?

00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:16.490 align:center
Uh. Missy’s outstanding,

00:17:16.614 --> 00:17:18.444 align:center
Matthew made varsity.
How’s the road?

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.540 align:center
- Couldn’t be better.
<i>- Good. So, Ryan?</i>

00:17:22.663 --> 00:17:23.573 align:center
Yeah?

00:17:24.100 --> 00:17:25.500 align:center
Uh. I didn’t even want
to have to ask you this

00:17:25.579 --> 00:17:28.279 align:center
because I know how you are
about doing things for others,

00:17:28.408 --> 00:17:30.758 align:center
but, uh, we’re coming up
on three weeks to go

00:17:30.845 --> 00:17:31.805 align:center
to Julie’s wedding
and there’s something

00:17:31.890 --> 00:17:32.980 align:center
we could
really use your help on.

00:17:33.326 --> 00:17:34.236 align:center
Yeah?

00:17:34.719 --> 00:17:36.069 align:center
<i>We’ve been
sending people these kits,</i>

00:17:36.199 --> 00:17:38.989 align:center
so they can print out photos
of Julie and Jim on cardboard

00:17:39.115 --> 00:17:41.335 align:center
and then take photos of them
in interesting places,

00:17:41.465 --> 00:17:42.905 align:center
kind of like that gnome
in the French movie.

00:17:43.032 --> 00:17:44.382 align:center
Why?

00:17:44.946 --> 00:17:47.336 align:center
Because it’s Julie's wedding
and she thinks it would be fun.

00:17:47.427 --> 00:17:48.387 align:center
Does it matter why?

00:17:49.168 --> 00:17:50.738 align:center
- How is Julie?
<i>- Would you call her?</i>

00:17:50.822 --> 00:17:52.042 align:center
<i>She thinks
you’ve turned to butter.</i>

00:17:52.171 --> 00:17:53.731 align:center
You’re awfully isolated
the way you live.

00:17:54.347 --> 00:17:55.917 align:center
Isolated? I’m surrounded.

00:17:56.001 --> 00:17:58.431 align:center
<i>So, your assistant said
you were gonna be in Vegas.</i>

00:17:58.612 --> 00:17:59.522 align:center
Did he?

00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:02.190 align:center
Can you get
a photo of the cutout

00:18:02.312 --> 00:18:03.522 align:center
in front of the Luxor pyramid?

00:18:03.704 --> 00:18:05.574 align:center
The place is a shithole.
Nobody stays there.

00:18:06.316 --> 00:18:08.626 align:center
Jesus, Ryan, I’m not asking you
to check in.

00:18:08.709 --> 00:18:10.319 align:center
Can you just
take a stupid photo?

00:18:10.972 --> 00:18:13.012 align:center
I’ll try my best.

00:18:13.584 --> 00:18:15.584 align:center
<i>Thank you
for trying your best.</i>

00:18:34.953 --> 00:18:38.083 align:center
<i>Last year,
I spent 322 days on the road,</i>

00:18:38.435 --> 00:18:41.955 align:center
<i>which means I had to spend
43 miserable days at home.</i>

00:19:05.766 --> 00:19:06.816 align:center
Hey, neighbor.

00:19:07.942 --> 00:19:09.552 align:center
Hey. Hi!

00:19:10.162 --> 00:19:12.592 align:center
Hi. Hey, I signed for this
while you were gone.

00:19:12.773 --> 00:19:14.683 align:center
- Oh, thanks.
- Yeah.

00:19:15.341 --> 00:19:17.121 align:center
I hope it wasn’t
too much of a bother.

00:19:17.213 --> 00:19:18.083 align:center
Nah.

00:19:21.695 --> 00:19:23.475 align:center
Wow.

00:19:23.958 --> 00:19:26.308 align:center
Yeah, it’s my sister.
I haven’t met the guy yet.

00:19:26.570 --> 00:19:28.010 align:center
They’re getting married.

00:19:28.137 --> 00:19:30.007 align:center
- Hmm. Lots of luck.
- I know, right?

00:19:31.009 --> 00:19:32.319 align:center
What are you doing tonight?
You wanna...

00:19:32.445 --> 00:19:33.755 align:center
You wanna come over later?

00:19:35.970 --> 00:19:38.330 align:center
Um.
I’ve started seeing somebody.

00:19:39.496 --> 00:19:41.586 align:center
- Oh. Okay. Great.
- Yeah.

00:19:43.195 --> 00:19:44.635 align:center
Hey, it’s good to see you.

00:19:45.545 --> 00:19:46.505 align:center
You too.

00:19:46.807 --> 00:19:48.467 align:center
It seems like
it’s been a while this time.

00:20:03.607 --> 00:20:04.657 align:center
Okay.

00:20:07.088 --> 00:20:08.088 align:center
I am just-- I’m thrilled

00:20:08.264 --> 00:20:09.484 align:center
that everyone’s back
under one roof.

00:20:09.569 --> 00:20:10.529 align:center
Welcome home, boys.

00:20:11.223 --> 00:20:12.873 align:center
I know there’s been whispering
about why we’re here,

00:20:12.964 --> 00:20:14.264 align:center
so, let me jump right in.

00:20:14.574 --> 00:20:19.794 align:center
Retailers are down 20 percent.
Auto industry is in the dump.

00:20:20.101 --> 00:20:22.491 align:center
Housing market
doesn’t have a heartbeat.

00:20:22.582 --> 00:20:25.882 align:center
It is one of the worst times
on record for America.

00:20:26.891 --> 00:20:29.021 align:center
This is our moment.

00:20:30.895 --> 00:20:32.115 align:center
Now, last summer,

00:20:32.201 --> 00:20:33.981 align:center
we received
a dynamite young woman here

00:20:34.072 --> 00:20:35.552 align:center
from, uh... from Cornell,

00:20:35.987 --> 00:20:38.207 align:center
and she had
some pretty big ideas

00:20:38.294 --> 00:20:40.464 align:center
that she challenged me with.
And my first reaction was,

00:20:40.557 --> 00:20:42.037 align:center
"Who does this kid
think that she is?"

00:20:42.123 --> 00:20:44.733 align:center
But after I gave it a listen,
she really knocked me out.

00:20:44.865 --> 00:20:48.215 align:center
So, with a peek into our future,
Natalie Keener.

00:20:51.698 --> 00:20:53.748 align:center
If there’s one word
I want to leave you with today,

00:20:53.831 --> 00:20:54.701 align:center
it’s this.

00:20:57.574 --> 00:20:58.704 align:center
"Glocal"?

00:21:00.533 --> 00:21:01.493 align:center
Glocal.

00:21:02.274 --> 00:21:05.234 align:center
Our global must become local.

00:21:06.496 --> 00:21:09.146 align:center
This company
keeps 23 people on the road

00:21:09.238 --> 00:21:11.108 align:center
at least 250 days a year.

00:21:12.066 --> 00:21:14.116 align:center
It’s expensive,
and it’s inefficient.

00:21:14.895 --> 00:21:17.375 align:center
When I came to Craig
three months ago with this,

00:21:17.855 --> 00:21:19.335 align:center
he told me,
and quite astutely,

00:21:19.422 --> 00:21:21.772 align:center
it’s only a problem
if you have a solution.

00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:24.869 align:center
Well, today I stand before you
with just that.

00:21:27.168 --> 00:21:30.348 align:center
You all know Ned in reception.
Today I’m gonna fire Ned.

00:21:31.912 --> 00:21:32.822 align:center
Sorry, Ned.

00:21:33.218 --> 00:21:35.358 align:center
I’m sure HR will hire you back
this afternoon.

00:21:35.438 --> 00:21:36.568 align:center
We’ll see about that.

00:21:38.049 --> 00:21:40.709 align:center
Now, Ned could be any employee
in any one

00:21:40.834 --> 00:21:42.134 align:center
of our clients’ locations
worldwide.

00:21:42.314 --> 00:21:44.094 align:center
Strategy packets
will be shipped in advance.

00:21:44.229 --> 00:21:45.449 align:center
Ned would be given a seat

00:21:45.535 --> 00:21:47.105 align:center
and find one
of our transition specialists

00:21:47.232 --> 00:21:48.182 align:center
waiting for him.

00:21:49.582 --> 00:21:50.882 align:center
Mr. Laskin...

00:21:51.018 --> 00:21:52.548 align:center
...the reason
we’re having this conversation

00:21:52.629 --> 00:21:54.499 align:center
is your position
is no longer available.

00:21:54.674 --> 00:21:56.584 align:center
<i>I don’t understand. I'm fired?</i>

00:21:56.763 --> 00:21:58.323 align:center
Hearing the words,
"You’ve been let go,"

00:21:58.417 --> 00:21:59.417 align:center
is never easy.

00:21:59.766 --> 00:22:01.816 align:center
Change is always scary,
but consider the following.

00:22:01.986 --> 00:22:03.596 align:center
Anybody who ever built an empire

00:22:03.683 --> 00:22:05.383 align:center
or changed the world,
sat where you are now.

00:22:05.555 --> 00:22:08.165 align:center
And it’s because they sat there
that they were able to do it.

00:22:08.862 --> 00:22:10.032 align:center
That’s my fucking line.

00:22:10.342 --> 00:22:12.122 align:center
<i>But what happens now?</i>

00:22:12.344 --> 00:22:13.954 align:center
This is the first step
of a process

00:22:14.041 --> 00:22:16.261 align:center
that will end with you
in a new job that fulfills you.

00:22:16.435 --> 00:22:17.655 align:center
<i>Yeah. But how does it work?</i>

00:22:17.828 --> 00:22:19.748 align:center
I want you to take
the packet in front of you.

00:22:19.830 --> 00:22:20.880 align:center
Review it.

00:22:21.135 --> 00:22:23.185 align:center
All the answers
you’re looking for are inside.

00:22:23.268 --> 00:22:24.708 align:center
Start filling out
the necessary information,

00:22:24.835 --> 00:22:25.705 align:center
and before you know it,

00:22:26.053 --> 00:22:27.353 align:center
you’ll be on your way
to new opportunities.

00:22:27.577 --> 00:22:30.107 align:center
Now, Ned, I need you
to go back to your desk

00:22:30.188 --> 00:22:31.538 align:center
and start putting together
your things.

00:22:31.711 --> 00:22:32.921 align:center
As a favor to me,

00:22:33.322 --> 00:22:34.802 align:center
I’d appreciate it
if you didn’t spread the news

00:22:34.888 --> 00:22:35.808 align:center
just yet.

00:22:35.889 --> 00:22:37.329 align:center
Panic doesn’t help anyone.

00:22:37.935 --> 00:22:39.155 align:center
<i>I understand.</i>

00:22:40.416 --> 00:22:41.596 align:center
Give it up for Ned.

00:22:46.552 --> 00:22:48.202 align:center
You can start
the morning in Boston,

00:22:48.728 --> 00:22:50.168 align:center
stop in Dallas over lunch,

00:22:50.251 --> 00:22:52.031 align:center
and finish the day
in San Francisco,

00:22:52.602 --> 00:22:54.292 align:center
all for the price of a T1 line.

00:22:54.778 --> 00:22:58.088 align:center
Our inflated travel budget
is eviscerated by 85 percent.

00:22:58.259 --> 00:23:00.919 align:center
And more importantly,
to you guys on the road,

00:23:01.654 --> 00:23:03.874 align:center
no more Christmases
in a hotel in Tulsa,

00:23:03.961 --> 00:23:05.831 align:center
no more hours lost
to weather delays.

00:23:06.355 --> 00:23:08.005 align:center
You get to come home.

00:23:11.534 --> 00:23:13.184 align:center
Tell me you’re not taking this
seriously.

00:23:13.927 --> 00:23:15.277 align:center
That’s why I brought
the entire company

00:23:15.364 --> 00:23:16.234 align:center
in from the road,

00:23:16.539 --> 00:23:17.939 align:center
because
we’re not taking this seriously.

00:23:18.149 --> 00:23:19.369 align:center
There is a methodology
to what I do.

00:23:19.455 --> 00:23:20.845 align:center
There is a reason why it works.

00:23:20.934 --> 00:23:22.674 align:center
Coke and IBM
have been doing this for years.

00:23:22.762 --> 00:23:24.022 align:center
All right?
Are you familiar with them?

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:25.940 align:center
Now, just like anything else,
you know,

00:23:26.070 --> 00:23:27.510 align:center
it’s gonna take a few months
of sort of transition

00:23:27.593 --> 00:23:28.813 align:center
and then everybody
is gonna settle in.

00:23:29.682 --> 00:23:30.812 align:center
Who are you taking off the road?

00:23:30.944 --> 00:23:33.204 align:center
How are you not getting this?
You’re grounded.

00:23:33.294 --> 00:23:35.334 align:center
Everybody’s grounded. It's done.

00:23:35.471 --> 00:23:37.421 align:center
What we do here is brutal,

00:23:37.516 --> 00:23:39.296 align:center
and it does leave people
devastated.

00:23:39.388 --> 00:23:41.518 align:center
But there is a dignity
to the way I do it.

00:23:41.912 --> 00:23:43.392 align:center
By stabbing them in the chest

00:23:43.479 --> 00:23:44.829 align:center
instead of the back,
is that right?

00:23:45.394 --> 00:23:47.304 align:center
You wanted to see me?
Well, um...

00:23:47.396 --> 00:23:48.786 align:center
Yeah. You know what?
Yeah, come on in.

00:23:48.875 --> 00:23:50.525 align:center
Come on in here.
Great job out there, Natalie.

00:23:50.703 --> 00:23:53.093 align:center
Thank you.
How’s everyone taking it?

00:23:53.532 --> 00:23:55.442 align:center
Great. Listen, uh,

00:23:55.578 --> 00:23:58.018 align:center
I admire your, uh, uh...
your zeal.

00:23:58.102 --> 00:23:59.752 align:center
And I think
you have some very good ideas.

00:23:59.843 --> 00:24:01.193 align:center
But you know nothing

00:24:01.322 --> 00:24:02.752 align:center
about the realities
of my industry.

00:24:03.499 --> 00:24:05.069 align:center
You can set up an iChat,

00:24:05.239 --> 00:24:06.979 align:center
but you don’t know
how people think.

00:24:07.154 --> 00:24:08.414 align:center
Actually,
I minored in psychology.

00:24:08.634 --> 00:24:09.634 align:center
Nice.

00:24:10.767 --> 00:24:14.467 align:center
- Hmm. Okay, kiddo, fire me.
- Ryan.

00:24:14.597 --> 00:24:16.337 align:center
Well, since she’s gonna be
doing this on a regular basis,

00:24:16.425 --> 00:24:17.725 align:center
don’t you wanna know
if she can fire somebody?

00:24:17.904 --> 00:24:19.814 align:center
She’s fired Ned.
My dog can fire Ned.

00:24:19.950 --> 00:24:21.260 align:center
Fire me.
You don’t need to do this.

00:24:21.386 --> 00:24:23.436 align:center
No, it’s okay. I got this.

00:24:25.303 --> 00:24:27.733 align:center
Mr. Bingham,
I regret to inform you

00:24:27.827 --> 00:24:28.957 align:center
that your position
at this company

00:24:29.046 --> 00:24:30.086 align:center
is no longer available.

00:24:30.656 --> 00:24:33.356 align:center
Hmm. Who the hell are you?
My name is Miss Keener.

00:24:33.442 --> 00:24:34.872 align:center
I’m here today
to discuss your future.

00:24:34.965 --> 00:24:36.795 align:center
My future? The only one
who can fire me

00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.020 align:center
is Craig Gregory.
Mr. Gregory hired me
to handle this for him.

00:24:39.143 --> 00:24:42.183 align:center
Handle what? Handle me?
Mr. Gregory hired me,

00:24:42.276 --> 00:24:43.536 align:center
he’s the only one
who can fire me.

00:24:43.626 --> 00:24:45.716 align:center
You know what?
I’m gonna go talk to him.

00:24:45.932 --> 00:24:48.022 align:center
Mr. Bingham.
No, no, no. You can’t follow me.

00:24:48.108 --> 00:24:49.548 align:center
You’re on a computer screen, remember?

00:24:49.675 --> 00:24:51.285 align:center
Ryan.
All right. Let’s try this again.

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:52.600 align:center
Fire me again.
I just did.

00:24:52.678 --> 00:24:54.338 align:center
Actually, you didn’t. Fire me.

00:24:54.550 --> 00:24:55.820 align:center
That’s enough.
I think we get it.

00:24:55.942 --> 00:24:57.682 align:center
Okay.
Mr. Bingham,
I’m here today to inform you

00:24:57.770 --> 00:24:59.910 align:center
that your position
is no longer available.

00:25:00.817 --> 00:25:02.647 align:center
I’m fired?
Yes, you’re fired.

00:25:02.775 --> 00:25:04.905 align:center
Never say fired.
You’ve been let go.

00:25:05.299 --> 00:25:08.699 align:center
Why?
This is a mythical situation.
How could I possibly know why?

00:25:08.781 --> 00:25:11.001 align:center
Why doesn’t matter.
You never know why.

00:25:11.131 --> 00:25:12.821 align:center
It’s important
not to focus on the why

00:25:12.916 --> 00:25:14.966 align:center
and rather to spend your energy
thinking about your future.

00:25:15.092 --> 00:25:18.392 align:center
Well, I’m gonna spend my energy
on suing you unless you give me

00:25:18.487 --> 00:25:19.707 align:center
a good reason
why you’re firing me.

00:25:19.792 --> 00:25:21.182 align:center
Mr. Bingham,
the reason’s not important.

00:25:21.315 --> 00:25:22.625 align:center
So, you’re firing me
without grounds?

00:25:22.708 --> 00:25:23.888 align:center
Now, I really have a lawsuit.

00:25:24.057 --> 00:25:25.717 align:center
I get what you’re trying
to say, Ryan.

00:25:25.842 --> 00:25:27.102 align:center
Don’t take this personally,
Mr. Bingham.

00:25:27.234 --> 00:25:28.454 align:center
Personally?

00:25:28.540 --> 00:25:30.200 align:center
This is
the most personal situation

00:25:30.281 --> 00:25:31.361 align:center
that you are ever gonna enter,

00:25:31.543 --> 00:25:34.373 align:center
so, before you try
to revolutionize my business,

00:25:34.590 --> 00:25:35.460 align:center
I’d like to know

00:25:35.547 --> 00:25:37.677 align:center
that you actually know
my business.

00:25:48.038 --> 00:25:50.308 align:center
That’s a hell of a way
to welcome her to the team.

00:25:51.694 --> 00:25:53.564 align:center
Am I the only one
that sees that by doing this

00:25:53.652 --> 00:25:55.172 align:center
we’re making
ourselves irrelevant?

00:25:55.654 --> 00:25:57.654 align:center
No, frankly,
we’re making you irrelevant.

00:25:58.091 --> 00:25:59.391 align:center
- Nice.
- Don’t blame me.

00:25:59.528 --> 00:26:00.918 align:center
Blame the high fuel costs.

00:26:01.007 --> 00:26:03.187 align:center
Blame insurance premiums.
Blame technology.

00:26:03.270 --> 00:26:04.450 align:center
You know,
you better watch yourself.

00:26:04.576 --> 00:26:06.056 align:center
You’re a little too young
to become a dinosaur.

00:26:06.317 --> 00:26:07.447 align:center
I’m not a dinosaur.

00:26:07.623 --> 00:26:09.313 align:center
I want you
to show her the ropes.

00:26:09.407 --> 00:26:10.927 align:center
What do I know
what goes on here?

00:26:11.017 --> 00:26:12.497 align:center
Get Ferguson to do it.

00:26:13.280 --> 00:26:14.630 align:center
I’m not talking about here.

00:26:18.634 --> 00:26:19.544 align:center
- No.
- Yeah.

00:26:20.026 --> 00:26:21.286 align:center
Come on.
You’re very, very confident

00:26:21.375 --> 00:26:22.635 align:center
this girl doesn’t know
what she’s doing, so--

00:26:22.768 --> 00:26:24.378 align:center
Oh, I’m sorry.
I don’t think a MySpace page

00:26:24.465 --> 00:26:26.375 align:center
qualifies you to rewire
an entire company.

00:26:26.598 --> 00:26:28.168 align:center
Well, then great.
Here’s your chance.

00:26:28.252 --> 00:26:29.332 align:center
Go out there,
show her the magic.

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:32.039 align:center
Take her through the paces.
I’m not a fucking tour guide.

00:26:35.389 --> 00:26:38.749 align:center
Now, here we go.
Bingham, here’s the boat.

00:26:39.263 --> 00:26:41.523 align:center
And here’s you.
Do you want to be in the boat?

00:26:42.396 --> 00:26:43.486 align:center
Yeah, alone.

00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:48.840 align:center
We’re ringing the bell.
We’re rounding everybody up.

00:26:48.925 --> 00:26:50.225 align:center
You want to stay out there
a little bit longer,

00:26:50.404 --> 00:26:53.234 align:center
you’re welcome to do it,
but you will not be alone, okay?

00:26:53.320 --> 00:26:54.280 align:center
You let me know.

00:27:11.034 --> 00:27:12.034 align:center
Oh, Christ.

00:28:03.390 --> 00:28:05.050 align:center
What?
Follow me.

00:28:09.788 --> 00:28:11.098 align:center
I really like my luggage.

00:28:11.181 --> 00:28:13.001 align:center
That’s exactly what it is,
it’s luggage.

00:28:13.096 --> 00:28:15.056 align:center
You know how much time you lose
by checking in?

00:28:15.141 --> 00:28:17.361 align:center
I don’t know. Five, ten minutes?

00:28:17.578 --> 00:28:21.588 align:center
Thirty-five minutes a flight.
I travel 270 days a year.

00:28:21.757 --> 00:28:24.937 align:center
That’s 157 hours.
That makes seven days.

00:28:25.586 --> 00:28:28.116 align:center
You’re willing to throw away
an entire week on that?

00:28:36.075 --> 00:28:38.465 align:center
You don’t need this.
Sorry, you don’t need that.

00:28:40.036 --> 00:28:40.946 align:center
You’re not gonna need that.

00:28:41.124 --> 00:28:42.694 align:center
They have neck pillows
on the plane.

00:28:43.169 --> 00:28:45.789 align:center
Ah. This, you--
they have better ones there.

00:28:45.868 --> 00:28:47.178 align:center
I--
I’ll get rid of this.

00:28:49.219 --> 00:28:50.879 align:center
I can just meet you
at security.

00:28:52.135 --> 00:28:53.095 align:center
Thank you.

00:28:56.922 --> 00:28:58.402 align:center
Bingo, Asians.

00:28:59.229 --> 00:29:00.889 align:center
You can’t be serious.

00:29:01.013 --> 00:29:02.883 align:center
Never get behind people
traveling with infants.

00:29:03.015 --> 00:29:04.585 align:center
I’ve never seen
a stroller collapse

00:29:04.669 --> 00:29:07.239 align:center
in less than 20 minutes.
Old people are worse.

00:29:07.324 --> 00:29:08.714 align:center
Their bodies are littered
with hidden metal,

00:29:08.804 --> 00:29:09.974 align:center
and they never seem
to appreciate

00:29:10.066 --> 00:29:12.066 align:center
how little time
they have left on earth.

00:29:12.329 --> 00:29:13.769 align:center
Here you go. Five words.

00:29:13.852 --> 00:29:16.112 align:center
"Randomly selected
for additional screening."

00:29:16.899 --> 00:29:18.079 align:center
Asians.

00:29:18.814 --> 00:29:20.464 align:center
They pack light,
travel efficiently,

00:29:20.554 --> 00:29:22.124 align:center
and they’ve got a thing
for slip-on shoes.

00:29:22.252 --> 00:29:24.202 align:center
You’ve got to love them.
That’s racist.

00:29:24.297 --> 00:29:27.087 align:center
I’m like my mother.
I stereotype. It’s faster.

00:29:34.917 --> 00:29:37.097 align:center
Uh. Sorry.

00:29:56.025 --> 00:29:57.505 align:center
Are you mad at your computer?

00:29:59.115 --> 00:30:01.205 align:center
- I type with purpose.
- Hmm.

00:30:02.379 --> 00:30:03.599 align:center
What is it
that you’re working on

00:30:03.684 --> 00:30:04.594 align:center
so furiously?

00:30:06.035 --> 00:30:08.165 align:center
I’m building a workflow
of firing techniques.

00:30:08.385 --> 00:30:10.735 align:center
It’s, uh,
questions and responses,

00:30:10.822 --> 00:30:11.992 align:center
actions and reactions.

00:30:12.128 --> 00:30:13.608 align:center
It’s a script taking you
through the steps

00:30:13.694 --> 00:30:14.564 align:center
of firing someone.

00:30:15.131 --> 00:30:16.041 align:center
Who’s it for?

00:30:16.828 --> 00:30:18.228 align:center
Well, theoretically,

00:30:18.308 --> 00:30:19.838 align:center
you could put it
in the hands of anyone

00:30:19.918 --> 00:30:21.578 align:center
and they’d be
downsizing immediately.

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:23.880 align:center
All you have to do
is follow the steps.

00:30:25.228 --> 00:30:27.018 align:center
Natalie, what is it
you think we do here?

00:30:28.622 --> 00:30:30.362 align:center
We prepare the newly unemployed
for the emotional

00:30:30.450 --> 00:30:31.590 align:center
and physical hurdles
of job hunting,

00:30:31.669 --> 00:30:33.069 align:center
while minimizing legal blowback.

00:30:33.497 --> 00:30:35.937 align:center
Now, that’s what we're selling.
It’s not what we’re doing.

00:30:36.152 --> 00:30:37.502 align:center
Okay. What are we doing?

00:30:37.718 --> 00:30:40.638 align:center
We are here
to make limbo tolerable,

00:30:41.244 --> 00:30:44.814 align:center
to ferry wounded souls
across the river of dread

00:30:44.900 --> 00:30:48.080 align:center
until the point
where hope is dimly visible.

00:30:50.601 --> 00:30:52.291 align:center
And then stop the boat,
shove them in the water

00:30:52.385 --> 00:30:53.385 align:center
and make them swim.

00:30:54.866 --> 00:30:56.346 align:center
That was really impressive.

00:30:56.433 --> 00:30:57.913 align:center
Are you gonna put that
in your book?

00:31:10.012 --> 00:31:11.832 align:center
I got to grab this.
I’ll meet you at the car rental.

00:31:11.927 --> 00:31:13.017 align:center
Okay.

00:31:13.624 --> 00:31:15.404 align:center
Hey, I was hoping
I’d hear from you.

00:31:15.626 --> 00:31:18.416 align:center
I’m in Hotlanta, and I need
a rib-joint recommend bad.

00:31:18.934 --> 00:31:21.064 align:center
Fat Matt’s. Bring a bib.

00:31:21.414 --> 00:31:22.374 align:center
You never called.

00:31:22.676 --> 00:31:24.986 align:center
Well, I wasn’t sure
what was appropriate.

00:31:25.157 --> 00:31:26.117 align:center
Appropriate?

00:31:26.593 --> 00:31:28.943 align:center
Ryan, I’m not some waitress
you banged in a snowstorm.

00:31:29.509 --> 00:31:32.169 align:center
<i>That word has no place
in our vocabulary.</i>

00:31:32.686 --> 00:31:33.596 align:center
I am the woman

00:31:33.862 --> 00:31:34.862 align:center
that you don’t have
to worry about.

00:31:36.734 --> 00:31:37.994 align:center
Sounds like a trap.

00:31:38.518 --> 00:31:40.828 align:center
Listen, the next time
that you’re worried

00:31:40.912 --> 00:31:44.342 align:center
about manners, don’t.
If you wanna call, call.

00:31:44.785 --> 00:31:47.785 align:center
Just think of me as yourself,
only with a vagina.

00:31:49.399 --> 00:31:50.399 align:center
When am I gonna see you?

00:31:50.879 --> 00:31:54.629 align:center
Well, I’m out of Hartsfield
into IAD,

00:31:54.708 --> 00:31:57.498 align:center
with a connection
at ORD into SDF.

00:31:57.842 --> 00:32:00.582 align:center
<i>Oh, sorry.</i>
Yeah, tell me about it.

00:32:01.063 --> 00:32:03.363 align:center
How long’s your layover?
They got multiples into SDF.

00:32:03.456 --> 00:32:04.586 align:center
Think you could push?

00:32:06.895 --> 00:32:08.675 align:center
Yeah, I can push.

00:32:21.997 --> 00:32:24.827 align:center
All you have to do today
is watch and listen.

00:32:24.913 --> 00:32:27.433 align:center
And when I talk
about a strategy packet,

00:32:27.524 --> 00:32:28.824 align:center
hand them one of those.

00:32:29.656 --> 00:32:30.706 align:center
Sounds great.

00:32:31.006 --> 00:32:33.186 align:center
So, although I wish I were here
with better news...

00:32:34.270 --> 00:32:36.890 align:center
the fact is that
you and I are sitting here today

00:32:36.968 --> 00:32:39.798 align:center
because, uh, this will be
your last week

00:32:39.884 --> 00:32:41.754 align:center
of employment at this company.

00:32:41.930 --> 00:32:43.760 align:center
Why me?
What am I supposed to do now?

00:32:43.844 --> 00:32:45.014 align:center
Am I supposed to feel better

00:32:45.107 --> 00:32:46.847 align:center
that I’m not the only one
losing my job?

00:32:47.022 --> 00:32:48.232 align:center
This is ridiculous!

00:32:48.893 --> 00:32:51.463 align:center
I have been a fine employee
for over ten years,

00:32:51.635 --> 00:32:53.595 align:center
and this is the way
you treat me.

00:32:54.290 --> 00:32:56.470 align:center
How do you sleep
at night, man? Huh?

00:32:57.467 --> 00:32:59.687 align:center
How’s your family?
They sleeping well at night?

00:33:00.296 --> 00:33:01.646 align:center
Electricity still on?

00:33:02.472 --> 00:33:03.512 align:center
Heat still on?

00:33:03.647 --> 00:33:04.997 align:center
- Refrigerator full of food?
- Um.

00:33:06.389 --> 00:33:08.179 align:center
Gas tank full of gas?

00:33:08.739 --> 00:33:10.829 align:center
Going to Chuck E. Cheese
this weekend or something?

00:33:10.915 --> 00:33:11.825 align:center
Not me.

00:33:13.135 --> 00:33:15.225 align:center
No, my kids,
we’re not gonna do anything.

00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.059 align:center
What do you suggest I tell them?

00:33:27.845 --> 00:33:29.845 align:center
Perhaps you’re underestimating
the positive effect

00:33:29.934 --> 00:33:32.584 align:center
that your career transition
can have on your children.

00:33:33.329 --> 00:33:34.809 align:center
The positive effect?

00:33:36.506 --> 00:33:38.426 align:center
I make about 90 grand
a year now.

00:33:39.639 --> 00:33:42.169 align:center
Unemployment is what,
250 bucks a week?

00:33:42.555 --> 00:33:44.555 align:center
Is that one
of your positive effects?

00:33:45.210 --> 00:33:46.560 align:center
Well, we’ll get to be cozier,

00:33:46.907 --> 00:33:48.777 align:center
because I’m not gonna be able
to pay my mortgage on my house.

00:33:48.866 --> 00:33:50.346 align:center
So, maybe we can move
into a nice fucking

00:33:50.433 --> 00:33:52.263 align:center
one-bedroom apartment somewhere.

00:33:53.914 --> 00:33:55.694 align:center
And I guess without benefits,

00:33:56.004 --> 00:33:58.044 align:center
I’ll be able to hold
my daughter as she,

00:33:58.354 --> 00:34:00.654 align:center
you know,
suffers from her asthma

00:34:00.747 --> 00:34:03.187 align:center
that I won’t be able to afford
the medication for.

00:34:04.055 --> 00:34:06.445 align:center
Well...
...tests have shown that

00:34:06.536 --> 00:34:08.146 align:center
children under moderate trauma
have a tendency

00:34:08.233 --> 00:34:10.583 align:center
to apply themselves
academically...

00:34:11.802 --> 00:34:13.542 align:center
as a method of coping.

00:34:15.284 --> 00:34:16.414 align:center
Go fuck yourself.

00:34:18.156 --> 00:34:19.676 align:center
That’s what my kids'll think.

00:34:20.506 --> 00:34:22.856 align:center
Your children’s admiration
is important to you?

00:34:23.596 --> 00:34:26.166 align:center
Yeah. Yeah, it was.

00:34:27.383 --> 00:34:29.383 align:center
Well, I doubt
they ever admired you, Bob.

00:34:30.429 --> 00:34:33.349 align:center
Hey, asshole, aren’t you
supposed to be consoling me?

00:34:34.042 --> 00:34:36.732 align:center
I’m not a shrink, Bob.
I’m a wake-up call.

00:34:36.827 --> 00:34:38.527 align:center
You know why kids love athletes?

00:34:38.655 --> 00:34:40.695 align:center
I don’t know. Because they screw
lingerie models?

00:34:40.787 --> 00:34:42.227 align:center
No, that’s why we love athletes.

00:34:42.311 --> 00:34:44.181 align:center
Kids love athletes

00:34:44.878 --> 00:34:46.228 align:center
because they follow
their dreams.

00:34:49.448 --> 00:34:52.278 align:center
Well, I can’t dunk.
No, but you can cook.

00:34:53.017 --> 00:34:54.587 align:center
What are you talking about?

00:34:54.714 --> 00:34:57.024 align:center
Your resume says
that you minored

00:34:57.108 --> 00:34:58.718 align:center
in French culinary arts.

00:34:59.458 --> 00:35:01.938 align:center
Most students,
they work on the fryer at KFC,

00:35:02.113 --> 00:35:03.893 align:center
but you bussed tables
at Il Picador

00:35:03.984 --> 00:35:04.894 align:center
to support yourself.

00:35:05.638 --> 00:35:08.168 align:center
And then you get out of college
and you come and you work here.

00:35:09.033 --> 00:35:12.163 align:center
How much did they first pay you
to give up on your dreams?

00:35:12.776 --> 00:35:14.256 align:center
Twenty-seven grand a year.

00:35:14.430 --> 00:35:16.040 align:center
And when were you going to stop

00:35:16.736 --> 00:35:18.696 align:center
and come back
and do what makes you happy?

00:35:21.567 --> 00:35:22.567 align:center
Good question.

00:35:22.699 --> 00:35:25.269 align:center
I see guys who work
at the same company

00:35:25.354 --> 00:35:28.134 align:center
for their entire lives,
guys exactly like you.

00:35:28.792 --> 00:35:30.402 align:center
They clock in, they clock out,

00:35:30.576 --> 00:35:33.106 align:center
and they never have a moment
of happiness.

00:35:35.364 --> 00:35:37.714 align:center
You have
an opportunity here, Bob.

00:35:38.497 --> 00:35:39.807 align:center
This is a rebirth.

00:35:41.500 --> 00:35:43.640 align:center
Now, if not for you,
do it for your children.

00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:15.630 align:center
Uh. He just waltzes in
and cuts in line?

00:36:16.187 --> 00:36:19.537 align:center
We reserve priority assistance
for our Hilton Honors members.

00:36:19.843 --> 00:36:21.843 align:center
The promotions are great.
You should check it out.

00:36:28.330 --> 00:36:29.470 align:center
Hungry much?

00:36:30.593 --> 00:36:33.853 align:center
Our business expense allots
40 dollars each for dinner.

00:36:34.162 --> 00:36:36.722 align:center
I plan on grabbing
as many miles as I can.

00:36:36.860 --> 00:36:39.080 align:center
Okay, you got to fill me in
on the miles thing.

00:36:39.210 --> 00:36:40.260 align:center
What is that about?

00:36:40.603 --> 00:36:43.643 align:center
Are you talking about,
like, frequent flyer miles?

00:36:44.084 --> 00:36:46.654 align:center
You really want to know?
I’m dying to know.

00:36:47.871 --> 00:36:49.611 align:center
I don’t spend a nickel
if I can help it

00:36:49.699 --> 00:36:52.009 align:center
unless it somehow profits
my mileage account.

00:36:52.615 --> 00:36:55.055 align:center
So, what are you saving up for,
Hawaii, South of France?

00:36:55.618 --> 00:36:58.408 align:center
It’s not like that.
The miles are the goal.

00:36:59.752 --> 00:37:02.622 align:center
That’s it?
You’re saving just to save?

00:37:02.842 --> 00:37:04.362 align:center
Let’s just say
that I have a number in mind

00:37:04.453 --> 00:37:05.453 align:center
and I haven’t hit it yet.

00:37:05.802 --> 00:37:08.022 align:center
That’s a little abstract.
What’s the target?

00:37:09.197 --> 00:37:10.287 align:center
I’d rather not.

00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:12.729 align:center
Is it a secret target?

00:37:14.724 --> 00:37:15.814 align:center
It’s ten million miles.

00:37:17.509 --> 00:37:19.649 align:center
Okay. Isn’t ten million
just a number?

00:37:19.859 --> 00:37:22.129 align:center
Pi’s just a number.
Well, we all need a hobby.

00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:26.779 align:center
No, I-- I-- I don’t mean
to belittle your collection.

00:37:26.866 --> 00:37:28.346 align:center
I get it. It sounds cool.

00:37:28.651 --> 00:37:30.431 align:center
I’d be the seventh person
to do it.

00:37:30.522 --> 00:37:32.172 align:center
More people have walked
on the moon.

00:37:32.394 --> 00:37:33.784 align:center
Do they throw you a parade?

00:37:33.917 --> 00:37:36.137 align:center
You get lifetime
executive status.

00:37:36.789 --> 00:37:38.099 align:center
You get to meet the chief pilot,

00:37:38.182 --> 00:37:39.532 align:center
Maynard Finch.
Wow.

00:37:39.618 --> 00:37:41.058 align:center
And they put your name
on the side of a plane.

00:37:41.141 --> 00:37:42.141 align:center
Men get such hard-ons

00:37:42.230 --> 00:37:43.060 align:center
from putting their name
on stuff.

00:37:43.143 --> 00:37:44.053 align:center
You guys don’t grow up.

00:37:44.406 --> 00:37:45.366 align:center
It’s like you need to pee
on everything.

00:37:45.668 --> 00:37:47.668 align:center
Oh, now who’s stereotyping?
Fear of mortality.

00:37:48.148 --> 00:37:50.888 align:center
It’s like, "Yeah,
you’re gonna die one day."

00:37:51.064 --> 00:37:53.284 align:center
And why do you suppose
that’s singular to men?

00:37:53.415 --> 00:37:55.115 align:center
Probably because
you can’t have babies.

00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:56.639 align:center
The baby argument.

00:38:01.466 --> 00:38:05.386 align:center
If I had that many miles,
I would show up at an airport,

00:38:05.470 --> 00:38:08.220 align:center
look at the destination board,
pick a place and go.

00:38:44.814 --> 00:38:46.114 align:center
Thanks for the advice.

00:39:04.268 --> 00:39:06.748 align:center
Oh, Jesus.

00:39:28.466 --> 00:39:32.296 align:center
Okay. Closer. Way closer.

00:39:34.907 --> 00:39:38.347 align:center
Still closer. Closer. Okay.

00:39:39.782 --> 00:39:42.872 align:center
Uh. A little left.
Okay, down a little.

00:39:44.134 --> 00:39:46.654 align:center
Too far. Up. Up one more inch.

00:39:48.965 --> 00:39:49.875 align:center
I don’t get it.

00:39:50.096 --> 00:39:51.186 align:center
Why does your sister want
a fake photo?

00:39:51.620 --> 00:39:54.150 align:center
My sister is kooky.
She thinks this is charming.

00:39:54.231 --> 00:39:55.841 align:center
It’s like the gnome thing.

00:39:55.928 --> 00:39:56.978 align:center
I mean,
why would your sister want

00:39:57.190 --> 00:39:58.590 align:center
a fake photo in front
of the St. Louis airport?

00:39:59.192 --> 00:40:00.802 align:center
Are you kidding, Lambert Field?

00:40:01.238 --> 00:40:02.938 align:center
The Wright brothers
flew through there.

00:40:03.022 --> 00:40:06.062 align:center
That domed main terminal,
it’s the first of its kind.

00:40:06.156 --> 00:40:07.156 align:center
It’s a precursor
from everything,

00:40:07.244 --> 00:40:08.724 align:center
from JFK to De Gaulle.

00:40:09.464 --> 00:40:11.374 align:center
It's pretty sweet.
Just take the picture.

00:40:15.426 --> 00:40:18.086 align:center
Well, that’s a keeper.
Let me see it.

00:40:20.692 --> 00:40:21.952 align:center
Why she wants
dozens of reminders

00:40:22.041 --> 00:40:23.391 align:center
of all the places
she hasn’t been

00:40:23.478 --> 00:40:24.348 align:center
is beyond me, but...

00:40:25.218 --> 00:40:27.048 align:center
Well, I’m sure she'll be crushed
for having missed this airport.

00:40:27.046 --> 00:40:29.096 align:center
Look, before Lindbergh
could cross the Atlantic,

00:40:29.179 --> 00:40:31.009 align:center
he took off
from one of those runways.

00:40:31.094 --> 00:40:33.004 align:center
You ever wonder why they call it
the <i>Spirit of St. Louis?</i>

00:40:33.226 --> 00:40:34.836 align:center
No.
Well--

00:40:42.975 --> 00:40:46.545 align:center
Do you know
how fucked this place is now?

00:40:46.675 --> 00:40:48.585 align:center
I am the one thing,
the one thing,

00:40:48.677 --> 00:40:51.767 align:center
preventing this place from being
totally fucked in the ass!

00:40:58.513 --> 00:41:00.253 align:center
Sometimes
they just need to vent.

00:41:03.822 --> 00:41:06.302 align:center
Please, for the love of God,
can I fire the next one?

00:41:07.609 --> 00:41:09.399 align:center
Miss Barnes,
thank you for joining us.

00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:10.660 align:center
I’m here to be fired, right?

00:41:12.788 --> 00:41:14.708 align:center
Well, we’re here
to talk about your future.

00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:17.320 align:center
You don’t have to sugarcoat it.
I get the drill.

00:41:18.228 --> 00:41:20.758 align:center
What are they offering?
Inside the packet,

00:41:20.839 --> 00:41:22.799 align:center
you’ll find a clearly worked out
severance package.

00:41:22.972 --> 00:41:24.052 align:center
Give me the bullet points.

00:41:25.844 --> 00:41:27.324 align:center
It’s actually pretty good.

00:41:27.411 --> 00:41:29.491 align:center
Three months’ pay,
six months’ medical,

00:41:29.587 --> 00:41:31.157 align:center
and a full year
of placement services

00:41:31.241 --> 00:41:32.191 align:center
through our company, CTC.

00:41:32.721 --> 00:41:35.411 align:center
Placement services.
That’s generous.

00:41:38.509 --> 00:41:40.209 align:center
Commonly, it takes one month
of searching

00:41:40.293 --> 00:41:42.333 align:center
for every 10,000 dollars
you expect to earn in salary.

00:41:42.513 --> 00:41:44.253 align:center
So, I could be
looking for a while.

00:41:44.907 --> 00:41:46.997 align:center
Not necessarily.
Don’t even sweat it.

00:41:47.083 --> 00:41:48.823 align:center
I’m pretty confident
about my plans.

00:41:50.086 --> 00:41:51.656 align:center
Really?
Yeah.

00:41:52.218 --> 00:41:54.218 align:center
There’s this beautiful bridge
by my house.

00:41:55.787 --> 00:41:57.177 align:center
I’m gonna go jump off it.

00:41:59.661 --> 00:42:03.701 align:center
Natalie. Hey. Natalie!

00:42:12.108 --> 00:42:15.328 align:center
People say
these things all the time.

00:42:15.415 --> 00:42:16.675 align:center
It’s part of the trade.

00:42:17.243 --> 00:42:18.763 align:center
They do?
Yeah.

00:42:18.854 --> 00:42:23.644 align:center
I mean, they say crazy things.
They get worked up.

00:42:24.816 --> 00:42:28.346 align:center
She was really calm.
I think that’s a good sign.

00:42:30.213 --> 00:42:31.563 align:center
So, they don’t ever
actually do it?

00:42:31.780 --> 00:42:33.790 align:center
No. No, it’s just talk.

00:42:34.826 --> 00:42:36.306 align:center
How do you know?
Do you follow up?

00:42:36.436 --> 00:42:38.656 align:center
I mean, no. Nothing good’s
gonna come of that, but...

00:42:40.745 --> 00:42:42.445 align:center
I wouldn’t worry about it.

00:42:44.488 --> 00:42:45.968 align:center
This is what we do, Natalie.

00:42:46.055 --> 00:42:48.365 align:center
We take people
at their most fragile,

00:42:48.448 --> 00:42:49.798 align:center
and we set them adrift.

00:42:55.020 --> 00:42:56.200 align:center
You ready to go back in?

00:42:57.849 --> 00:42:59.329 align:center
All right, let’s go. Come on.

Tell me something sweet.

00:43:48.857 --> 00:43:50.557 align:center
I’ll be back soon.
I’m not really sure

00:43:50.641 --> 00:43:52.291 align:center
how long this whole exercise
is supposed to last.

00:43:53.122 --> 00:43:55.072 align:center

I wasn’t expecting this.
Not at all.

00:44:40.343 --> 00:44:41.903 align:center
Just like that?
I’m disappointed

00:44:41.997 --> 00:44:45.177 align:center
that I’ve given
so much of my life...

00:44:45.304 --> 00:44:47.434 align:center
This is not fair.
There are people
that are gonna be

00:44:47.524 --> 00:44:49.004 align:center
way more qualified than me now.

00:44:49.134 --> 00:44:50.434 align:center
I don’t know what to do
when I wake up

00:44:50.570 --> 00:44:51.450 align:center
in the morning tomorrow.

00:44:59.057 --> 00:45:00.017 align:center
Are you okay?

00:45:02.626 --> 00:45:04.586 align:center
Are we going?
Yeah.

00:45:16.988 --> 00:45:19.908 align:center

00:45:28.130 --> 00:45:29.350 align:center
Now, this is gonna be
a little difficult,

00:45:29.435 --> 00:45:30.605 align:center
so stay with me.

00:45:31.437 --> 00:45:34.527 align:center
You have a new backpack.
Only this time,

00:45:34.919 --> 00:45:36.529 align:center
I want you
to fill it with people.

00:45:36.965 --> 00:45:40.275 align:center
Start with casual acquaintances,
friends of friends,

00:45:41.056 --> 00:45:42.796 align:center
folks around the office.

00:45:42.884 --> 00:45:44.144 align:center
And then you move
into the people

00:45:44.233 --> 00:45:46.103 align:center
that you trust
with your most intimate secrets.

00:45:46.191 --> 00:45:48.101 align:center
Your cousins,
your aunts, your uncles,

00:45:48.890 --> 00:45:51.680 align:center
your brothers,
your sisters, your parents.

00:45:52.937 --> 00:45:55.117 align:center
And finally
your husband, your wife,

00:45:55.548 --> 00:45:57.028 align:center
your boyfriend
or your girlfriend.

00:45:58.073 --> 00:46:00.943 align:center
You get them
into that backpack.

00:46:03.078 --> 00:46:04.258 align:center
Don’t worry.
I’m not gonna ask you

00:46:04.340 --> 00:46:05.690 align:center
to light it on fire.

00:46:08.170 --> 00:46:09.610 align:center
Feel the weight of that bag.

00:46:10.694 --> 00:46:11.604 align:center
Make no mistake,

00:46:11.956 --> 00:46:13.956 align:center
your relationships
are the heaviest components

00:46:14.045 --> 00:46:15.005 align:center
in your life.

00:46:16.961 --> 00:46:20.351 align:center
Do you feel the straps
cutting into your shoulders?

00:46:21.879 --> 00:46:24.489 align:center
All those negotiations
and arguments

00:46:24.577 --> 00:46:27.277 align:center
and secrets and compromises.

00:46:30.888 --> 00:46:32.938 align:center
You don’t need to carry
all that weight.

00:46:34.022 --> 00:46:35.712 align:center
Why don’t you set that bag down?

00:46:38.591 --> 00:46:40.981 align:center
Some animals were meant
to carry each other,

00:46:41.072 --> 00:46:43.462 align:center
to live symbiotically
for a lifetime.

00:46:44.554 --> 00:46:46.864 align:center
Star-crossed lovers,
monogamous swans.

00:46:46.948 --> 00:46:48.818 align:center
We are not those animals.

00:46:51.648 --> 00:46:53.868 align:center
The slower we move,
the faster we die.

00:46:54.346 --> 00:46:56.696 align:center
We are not swans.

00:46:58.046 --> 00:46:59.136 align:center
We’re sharks.

00:47:13.931 --> 00:47:15.361 align:center
- Never?
- No.

00:47:16.020 --> 00:47:17.330 align:center
- Ever?
- No.

00:47:18.153 --> 00:47:19.283 align:center
You never want to get married?

00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:21.459 align:center
Nope.
Never want kids?

00:47:21.678 --> 00:47:23.598 align:center
Not a chance.
Ever?

00:47:23.723 --> 00:47:26.423 align:center
Never. Is that so bizarre?

00:47:27.075 --> 00:47:29.595 align:center
Yes. Yes, it is.

00:47:30.426 --> 00:47:32.036 align:center
I just don’t see
the value in it.

00:47:33.733 --> 00:47:35.993 align:center
All right, sell it to me.
What?

00:47:36.127 --> 00:47:37.567 align:center
Sell me marriage.

00:47:39.914 --> 00:47:42.304 align:center
Okay, how about love?
Pfft. Okay.

00:47:43.700 --> 00:47:46.190 align:center
Stability, just somebody
you can count on.

00:47:46.398 --> 00:47:48.138 align:center
How many stable marriages
do you know?

00:47:48.270 --> 00:47:51.710 align:center
Somebody to talk to,
someone to spend your life with.

00:47:51.795 --> 00:47:52.965 align:center
I’m surrounded by people
to talk to.

00:47:53.144 --> 00:47:55.494 align:center
I doubt that’s going to change.

00:47:56.278 --> 00:47:58.108 align:center
How about just not dying alone?

00:47:59.150 --> 00:48:01.420 align:center
Starting when I was 12,
we moved each one

00:48:01.544 --> 00:48:03.374 align:center
of my grandparents
into a nursing facility.

00:48:03.459 --> 00:48:04.809 align:center
My parents went the same way.

00:48:05.026 --> 00:48:07.766 align:center
Make no mistake,
we all die alone.

00:48:07.898 --> 00:48:11.038 align:center
Now, those cult members
in San Diego

00:48:11.119 --> 00:48:12.819 align:center
with the Kool-Aid
and the sneakers,

00:48:13.034 --> 00:48:14.164 align:center
they didn’t die alone.

00:48:15.384 --> 00:48:16.514 align:center
I’m just saying
there are options.

00:48:19.954 --> 00:48:21.734 align:center
Oh, fuck.

00:48:23.218 --> 00:48:24.958 align:center
Brian left me.

00:48:32.531 --> 00:48:33.741 align:center
Hey, all right.

00:48:36.405 --> 00:48:38.145 align:center
Okay, okay. All right.

00:48:40.278 --> 00:48:42.148 align:center
All right.

00:48:44.021 --> 00:48:45.541 align:center
Yeah, um...

00:48:51.202 --> 00:48:52.422 align:center
Hey.

00:48:56.991 --> 00:48:58.811 align:center
Uh. Natalie,
this is Alex, my friend.

00:48:58.906 --> 00:48:59.946 align:center
This is Natalie.

00:49:01.343 --> 00:49:05.083 align:center
I should give you both a moment.
No. No, that’s fine.

00:49:05.390 --> 00:49:07.880 align:center
I’m fine.
It’s a pleasure to meet you.

00:49:09.525 --> 00:49:12.445 align:center
Maybe we should just all go up
to our rooms and freshen up.

00:49:13.355 --> 00:49:15.875 align:center
Or maybe a drink?
Now, you’re talking.

00:49:19.491 --> 00:49:21.751 align:center
He broke up with you
over text message?

00:49:21.841 --> 00:49:23.791 align:center
It’s kind of like firing someone
over the Internet.

00:49:26.759 --> 00:49:27.849 align:center
What a weaselly prick.

00:49:28.065 --> 00:49:29.765 align:center
Yeah.
But what does that make me?

00:49:30.459 --> 00:49:32.809 align:center
Someone who falls for a prick.
We all fall for them.

00:49:32.940 --> 00:49:34.160 align:center
Pricks are spontaneous,

00:49:34.245 --> 00:49:35.285 align:center
they’re unpredictable,
and they’re fun.

00:49:35.725 --> 00:49:37.725 align:center
And then we’re surprised
when they turn out to be pricks.

00:49:39.381 --> 00:49:42.161 align:center
I followed him to Omaha.
You did?

00:49:43.385 --> 00:49:44.905 align:center
I had a job waiting for me
in San Francisco

00:49:44.995 --> 00:49:46.955 align:center
when he got an offer
from ConAgra.

00:49:48.825 --> 00:49:50.565 align:center
He said we could
start a life together.

00:49:52.176 --> 00:49:54.616 align:center
So, I followed him.
To Nebraska?

00:49:58.443 --> 00:50:00.093 align:center
I thought I’d be engaged by now.

00:50:01.185 --> 00:50:02.095 align:center
No offense.

00:50:02.621 --> 00:50:03.971 align:center
None taken.
No. That’s all right.

00:50:06.538 --> 00:50:10.108 align:center
When I was 16,
I thought by 23, I’d be married,

00:50:10.368 --> 00:50:11.368 align:center
maybe have a kid,

00:50:11.630 --> 00:50:13.680 align:center
corner office by day,
entertaining at night.

00:50:14.807 --> 00:50:17.027 align:center
I was supposed to be driving
a Grand Cherokee by now.

00:50:17.201 --> 00:50:18.071 align:center
Yeah.

00:50:18.246 --> 00:50:19.726 align:center
Life can underwhelm you
that way.

00:50:19.856 --> 00:50:21.206 align:center
I mean, where...
where did you think you’d be

00:50:21.292 --> 00:50:22.162 align:center
by, um...

00:50:25.209 --> 00:50:27.089 align:center
Yeah, uh, it d--
It doesn’t work that way.

00:50:27.168 --> 00:50:29.518 align:center
Well, at a certain point,
you stop with the deadlines.

00:50:29.605 --> 00:50:30.955 align:center
It can be
a little counterproductive.

00:50:31.389 --> 00:50:33.439 align:center
I don’t want to say anything
that’s anti-feminist.

00:50:33.522 --> 00:50:35.912 align:center
I really appreciate everything
that your generation did for me.

00:50:37.091 --> 00:50:38.781 align:center
It was our pleasure.
Well done.

00:50:38.918 --> 00:50:40.318 align:center
But sometimes it feels like

00:50:40.442 --> 00:50:41.612 align:center
no matter
how much success I have,

00:50:41.878 --> 00:50:43.838 align:center
it’s not gonna matter
until I find the right guy.

00:50:44.881 --> 00:50:46.701 align:center
You really thought
this guy was the one?

00:50:48.015 --> 00:50:49.405 align:center
I could have made it work.

00:50:50.365 --> 00:50:53.195 align:center
He, um--
He really fit the bill.

00:50:53.368 --> 00:50:54.328 align:center
You know?

00:50:54.717 --> 00:50:55.677 align:center
The bill?

00:50:56.284 --> 00:50:59.934 align:center
White-collar, college grad,
loves dogs, likes funny movies,

00:51:00.027 --> 00:51:02.417 align:center
6’1', brown hair, kind eyes,

00:51:02.681 --> 00:51:05.031 align:center
works in finance
but is outdoorsy,

00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:06.689 align:center
you know, on the weekends.

00:51:08.513 --> 00:51:10.643 align:center
I always imagined
he’d have a single syllable name

00:51:10.733 --> 00:51:15.043 align:center
like, um, Matt or John or Dave.

00:51:16.434 --> 00:51:18.174 align:center
In a perfect world,
he drives a 4Runner.

00:51:18.262 --> 00:51:19.952 align:center
And the only thing

00:51:20.047 --> 00:51:21.837 align:center
he loves more than me
is his golden Lab.

00:51:23.485 --> 00:51:24.525 align:center
And a nice smile.

00:51:28.098 --> 00:51:30.668 align:center
What about you?
Let me think, uh...

00:51:33.016 --> 00:51:35.196 align:center
You know, honestly,
by the time you’re 34,

00:51:35.279 --> 00:51:37.889 align:center
all the physical requirements
just go out the window.

00:51:38.108 --> 00:51:40.898 align:center
I mean, like, you secretly pray
that he’ll be taller than you.

00:51:41.459 --> 00:51:44.509 align:center
Um. And not an asshole
would be nice.

00:51:44.593 --> 00:51:46.113 align:center
Just someone
who enjoys my company,

00:51:46.203 --> 00:51:47.373 align:center
comes from a good family.

00:51:47.465 --> 00:51:48.635 align:center
Because you don’t think
about that

00:51:48.727 --> 00:51:49.647 align:center
when you’re younger.

00:51:50.251 --> 00:51:53.201 align:center
I don’t know. Uh.
Someone who wants kids.

00:51:54.168 --> 00:51:56.038 align:center
Likes kids. Wants kids.

00:51:57.301 --> 00:52:00.691 align:center
Healthy enough to play
with his kids.

00:52:01.610 --> 00:52:05.440 align:center
Um. Oh, please let him earn
more money than I do.

00:52:06.180 --> 00:52:07.580 align:center
You might not
understand that now,

00:52:07.659 --> 00:52:09.319 align:center
but believe me,
you will one day.

00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:12.100 align:center
Otherwise,
that’s a recipe for disaster.

00:52:12.838 --> 00:52:15.758 align:center
Uh. And hopefully
some hair on his head...

00:52:16.755 --> 00:52:17.665 align:center
but, I mean,

00:52:18.061 --> 00:52:20.491 align:center
even that’s not a deal breaker
these days. Uh.

00:52:23.545 --> 00:52:24.505 align:center
A nice smile.

00:52:27.462 --> 00:52:30.332 align:center
Yeah, a nice smile.
Nice smile just might do it.

00:52:33.598 --> 00:52:34.818 align:center
Wow, that was depressing.

00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:39.259 align:center
I should just date women.
Tried it.

00:52:40.431 --> 00:52:42.121 align:center
We’re no picnic ourselves.

00:52:46.437 --> 00:52:48.527 align:center
I don’t mind being married
to my career...

00:52:50.093 --> 00:52:51.483 align:center
and I don’t expect it
to hold me in bed

00:52:51.573 --> 00:52:52.573 align:center
as I fall asleep.

00:52:57.709 --> 00:52:59.279 align:center
I just don’t want to settle.

00:53:00.364 --> 00:53:01.494 align:center
You’re young.

00:53:01.757 --> 00:53:04.287 align:center
Right now, you see settling
as some sort of a failure.

00:53:04.412 --> 00:53:06.972 align:center
It is, by definition.

00:53:07.806 --> 00:53:10.466 align:center
Yeah. But by the time
someone is right for you,

00:53:10.548 --> 00:53:11.808 align:center
it won’t feel like settling.

00:53:12.463 --> 00:53:13.943 align:center
And the only person
left to judge you

00:53:14.030 --> 00:53:16.560 align:center
will be the 23-year-old girl
with a target on your back.

00:53:21.342 --> 00:53:23.032 align:center
So, what’s the plan
for the evening?

00:53:24.214 --> 00:53:26.304 align:center
Well,
we were gonna hit that party

00:53:26.390 --> 00:53:28.400 align:center
for the tech conference
at the hotel.

00:53:28.479 --> 00:53:30.269 align:center
Oh, I didn’t-- I didn't know
you could just attend those.

00:53:30.351 --> 00:53:32.041 align:center
I thought
you had to be registered.

00:53:32.527 --> 00:53:34.097 align:center
Well, uh, technically,
I don’t think

00:53:34.224 --> 00:53:36.184 align:center
it’s open to the public but--
Just gonna stop by.

00:53:36.922 --> 00:53:38.002 align:center
You’re gonna crash it?

00:53:39.838 --> 00:53:41.408 align:center
Well, you know,
they throw a really nice party.

00:53:41.492 --> 00:53:42.922 align:center
they have more money
than they know what to do with.

00:53:43.015 --> 00:53:44.455 align:center
And it--
And they have a good time, usually.

00:53:44.539 --> 00:53:46.889 align:center
No, no, I... I get it. I’m in.

00:54:06.952 --> 00:54:08.952 align:center
Jennifer Chu?

00:54:10.042 --> 00:54:11.432 align:center

You’re so cool.

00:57:35.073 --> 00:57:36.943 align:center
Mr. Empty Backpack.

00:57:38.642 --> 00:57:40.422 align:center
You know about my backpack?
I Googled you.

00:57:40.514 --> 00:57:41.864 align:center
You did?
Hmm.

00:57:42.124 --> 00:57:44.734 align:center
It’s what us modern girls do
when we have a crush.

00:57:44.866 --> 00:57:46.786 align:center
Hm.
Did it bother you?

00:57:47.172 --> 00:57:48.472 align:center
It depends.

00:57:48.565 --> 00:57:51.045 align:center
Is the bag empty
because you hate people

00:57:51.133 --> 00:57:53.303 align:center
or because you hate the baggage
that they come along with?

00:57:53.483 --> 00:57:55.393 align:center
I don’t hate people.
I’m not exactly a hermit.

00:57:55.572 --> 00:57:57.052 align:center
You just don’t want
to be tied down

00:57:57.139 --> 00:57:59.189 align:center
with the...
the whole responsibility thing?

00:58:00.577 --> 00:58:02.887 align:center
I don’t know what originally
sparked the backpack.

00:58:03.841 --> 00:58:05.231 align:center
Probably needed to be alone.

00:58:07.584 --> 00:58:08.544 align:center
Recently, I’ve been thinking

00:58:08.716 --> 00:58:10.546 align:center
that I needed
to empty the backpack...

00:58:11.806 --> 00:58:13.456 align:center
before I knew
what to put back in it.

00:58:32.957 --> 00:58:36.307 align:center
Oh, no!
I think we’re out of gas.

00:58:53.151 --> 00:58:54.231 align:center
Whoo!

00:59:16.827 --> 00:59:18.917 align:center
Hey. You’re up?

00:59:19.830 --> 00:59:20.920 align:center
Yeah, I have to fly standby

00:59:21.005 --> 00:59:22.485 align:center
and make a meeting
in Cincinnati.

00:59:23.051 --> 00:59:25.611 align:center
Oh. Okay.

00:59:26.358 --> 00:59:29.368 align:center
Aw, I made you feel cheap.

00:59:30.188 --> 00:59:31.188 align:center
It’s all right.

00:59:31.276 --> 00:59:33.536 align:center
Just leave the money
on the dresser.

00:59:34.889 --> 00:59:37.199 align:center
I’ll text you later,
so, we can swap schedules.

00:59:41.069 --> 00:59:42.029 align:center
Hey.

00:59:44.246 --> 00:59:45.336 align:center
I really like you.

00:59:47.249 --> 00:59:48.429 align:center
I like you too.

00:59:49.512 --> 00:59:50.422 align:center
Good.

00:59:51.427 --> 00:59:53.827 align:center
Go catch your plane.

01:00:07.269 --> 01:00:08.969 align:center
Last night, uh...

01:00:09.140 --> 01:00:12.630 align:center
Um. It was kind of out of hand,
and I said things. Um.

01:00:14.058 --> 01:00:16.018 align:center
I’m not actually sure
of everything that I said,

01:00:17.235 --> 01:00:19.755 align:center
but I didn’t want you to think--
Just relax.

01:00:20.151 --> 01:00:21.411 align:center
It was nice
to see you cut loose.

01:00:22.937 --> 01:00:24.377 align:center
So, did you wake him up
or slip out?

01:00:27.071 --> 01:00:28.981 align:center
What?
This morning.
Your new friend.

01:00:29.857 --> 01:00:31.377 align:center
Did you wake him up
for an awkward goodbye

01:00:31.467 --> 01:00:34.337 align:center
or did you just slip out
and make him feel like a whore?

01:00:36.864 --> 01:00:39.344 align:center
I just left.
Protocol’s always tricky.

01:00:42.478 --> 01:00:44.878 align:center
What happened to Alex?

01:00:44.959 --> 01:00:46.969 align:center
She had to leave town early
to get to a meeting.

01:00:47.048 --> 01:00:48.968 align:center
That’s too bad.
Where does she live?

01:00:49.224 --> 01:00:50.314 align:center
Chicago.

01:00:51.487 --> 01:00:52.967 align:center
Thinking of going to see her?

01:00:53.054 --> 01:00:54.574 align:center
We don’t really have
that kind of relationship.

01:00:54.664 --> 01:00:56.624 align:center
Try right over there.
Right in that direction.

01:00:57.406 --> 01:01:00.886 align:center
What, um, kind of relationship
do you have?

01:01:01.323 --> 01:01:03.063 align:center
Well, you know, casual.

01:01:04.805 --> 01:01:07.455 align:center
Sounds pretty special.
It works for us.

01:01:09.636 --> 01:01:11.466 align:center
Don’t you think
there’s a future there?

01:01:12.247 --> 01:01:14.247 align:center
I never really thought about it.
What’s going on here?

01:01:14.597 --> 01:01:16.387 align:center
Really never thought about it?
No.

01:01:18.862 --> 01:01:20.552 align:center
How can you not
think bout that?

01:01:20.995 --> 01:01:22.605 align:center
How does it
not even cross your mind

01:01:22.736 --> 01:01:24.996 align:center
that you might want
a future with someone?
It’s simple.

01:01:25.434 --> 01:01:26.344 align:center
You know that moment

01:01:26.565 --> 01:01:27.605 align:center
when you look
into somebody’s eyes

01:01:27.741 --> 01:01:30.091 align:center
and you can feel them
staring into your soul

01:01:30.178 --> 01:01:33.138 align:center
and the whole world goes quiet
just for a second?

01:01:33.616 --> 01:01:35.486 align:center
Yes.
Right. Well, I don’t.

01:01:36.967 --> 01:01:39.017 align:center
- You’re an asshole.
- No.

01:01:39.317 --> 01:01:40.977 align:center
Look, I’m just dicking around.
Come on. Give me a hand.

01:01:41.058 --> 01:01:42.798 align:center
Don’t you think
it’s worth giving her a chance?

01:01:42.930 --> 01:01:45.110 align:center
A chance to what?
A chance at something real.

01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:46.680 align:center
Natalie, your definition of real

01:01:46.760 --> 01:01:48.460 align:center
is going to evolve
as you get older.

01:01:48.587 --> 01:01:50.247 align:center
Can you stop condescending
for one second

01:01:50.328 --> 01:01:52.418 align:center
or is that one of the principles
of your bullshit philosophy?

01:01:52.504 --> 01:01:53.854 align:center
Bullshit philosophy?

01:01:54.115 --> 01:01:56.895 align:center
The isolation, the traveling.
Is that supposed to be charming?

01:01:57.118 --> 01:01:58.118 align:center
No, it’s simply a life choice.

01:01:58.249 --> 01:01:59.949 align:center
It’s a cocoon
of self-banishment.

01:02:00.121 --> 01:02:01.461 align:center
Wow. Big words.

01:02:01.644 --> 01:02:04.084 align:center
Screw you.
Ah, screw you too.

01:02:04.952 --> 01:02:06.162 align:center
You have set up a way of life

01:02:06.257 --> 01:02:07.827 align:center
that basically
makes it impossible

01:02:07.911 --> 01:02:09.601 align:center
for you to have
any kind of human connection.

01:02:09.696 --> 01:02:11.086 align:center
And now, this woman comes along

01:02:11.262 --> 01:02:14.392 align:center
and somehow runs the gauntlet
of your ridiculous life choice,

01:02:14.526 --> 01:02:16.136 align:center
and comes out
on the other end smiling

01:02:16.224 --> 01:02:17.744 align:center
just so
you can call her "casual"?

01:02:17.878 --> 01:02:20.708 align:center
I need to grow up?
You’re a 12-year-old.

01:02:21.577 --> 01:02:22.927 align:center
I don’t have a gauntlet of--

01:02:25.799 --> 01:02:27.109 align:center
Fuck.

01:03:07.710 --> 01:03:09.150 align:center
[MUSIC CONCLUDES

01:03:09.233 --> 01:03:11.843 align:center
Now, listen,
these Detroit guys can be tough.

01:03:11.932 --> 01:03:12.842 align:center
They’ve been getting hammered.

01:03:13.542 --> 01:03:15.192 align:center
So, you don’t get distracted.
Stick with the simple stuff.

01:03:15.196 --> 01:03:16.546 align:center
You get these packets
in their hand

01:03:16.675 --> 01:03:18.325 align:center
and you get them
out the door, okay?

01:03:32.213 --> 01:03:34.643 align:center
<i>Hey, welcome to Detroit.</i>

01:03:35.172 --> 01:03:36.252 align:center
What’s going on here?

01:03:36.391 --> 01:03:37.651 align:center
<i>I’ve been looking
at those great numbers</i>

01:03:37.740 --> 01:03:38.700 align:center
<i>over the last few days.</i>

01:03:38.915 --> 01:03:39.955 align:center
<i>I thought maybe
we should just nut up</i>

01:03:40.134 --> 01:03:41.094 align:center
<i>and give this a try.</i>

01:03:41.178 --> 01:03:42.308 align:center
We could use a little more time.

01:03:42.397 --> 01:03:43.527 align:center
<i>Well, you...
you gotta leave the nest</i>

01:03:43.615 --> 01:03:44.835 align:center
<i>at some point, huh?</i>

01:03:45.139 --> 01:03:46.619 align:center
This is a real company, Craig.

01:03:46.705 --> 01:03:48.145 align:center
We’re here to do some damage.

01:03:48.272 --> 01:03:50.402 align:center
<i>I know. Uh. It’s a good thing
we brought our best, okay?</i>

01:03:50.492 --> 01:03:51.792 align:center
<i>Let’s stop screwing around.</i>

01:03:51.928 --> 01:03:52.888 align:center
All right. Just give me a minute

01:03:53.060 --> 01:03:54.760 align:center
to prepare
and get my things together.

01:03:54.844 --> 01:03:55.844 align:center
<i>I was thinking that Natalie</i>

01:03:55.932 --> 01:03:56.932 align:center
<i>was going to take this one.</i>

01:03:58.282 --> 01:03:59.842 align:center
She’s hardly ready for that.

01:03:59.980 --> 01:04:02.330 align:center
<i>I’ve been watching her results
the last few days. She’s great.</i>

01:04:02.504 --> 01:04:03.594 align:center
This is a whole other animal.

01:04:03.722 --> 01:04:05.762 align:center
<i>You know, she created it
and everything, right?</i>

01:04:05.899 --> 01:04:07.599 align:center
<i>And Natalie,
are you not up for it?</i>

01:04:10.425 --> 01:04:12.465 align:center
Yeah, I’m game.
<i>That’s my girl.</i>

01:04:14.298 --> 01:04:16.258 align:center
Now, just remember,
don’t apologize,

01:04:16.344 --> 01:04:18.254 align:center
don’t tell them
how hard this is for you.

01:04:18.346 --> 01:04:19.386 align:center
Today’s one of the worst days

01:04:19.521 --> 01:04:20.781 align:center
they’re ever gonna have
in their life.

01:04:20.870 --> 01:04:22.220 align:center
How we feel
doesn’t even compare.

01:04:24.439 --> 01:04:25.359 align:center
Got it.
All right.

01:04:25.701 --> 01:04:27.611 align:center
Just keep it professional.
You’ll be fine.

01:04:32.403 --> 01:04:33.663 align:center
<i>What’s all this?
What’s going on?</i>

01:04:33.840 --> 01:04:34.890 align:center
Hello, Mr. Samuels.

01:04:36.277 --> 01:04:38.067 align:center
I wish I were here
with better news.

01:04:39.323 --> 01:04:40.883 align:center
However, your position here
at Wertheimer’s

01:04:40.977 --> 01:04:42.197 align:center
is no longer available.

01:04:43.501 --> 01:04:44.851 align:center
<i>What are you talking about?</i>

01:04:47.114 --> 01:04:48.284 align:center
You’ve been let go.

01:04:49.464 --> 01:04:50.334 align:center
<i>Just like that?</i>

01:04:53.033 --> 01:04:54.033 align:center
<i>Who are you?</i>

01:04:56.079 --> 01:04:57.389 align:center
My name is Miss Keener,

01:04:58.212 --> 01:05:00.342 align:center
and I’m here today
to talk about your options.

01:05:00.910 --> 01:05:03.790 align:center
<i>I worked for this company
for 17 years</i>

01:05:03.870 --> 01:05:05.790 align:center
<i>and they send a fourth-grader
to can me?</i>

01:05:07.308 --> 01:05:08.788 align:center
<i>What the fuck is this?</i>

01:05:18.972 --> 01:05:20.402 align:center
It’s perfectly normal
to be upset.

01:05:21.583 --> 01:05:23.713 align:center
However, the sooner
you can tell yourself

01:05:23.802 --> 01:05:25.362 align:center
that greater opportunities
are waiting for you--

01:05:25.500 --> 01:05:28.420 align:center
<i>Greater opportunities?
I’m 57 fucking years old.</i>

01:05:30.635 --> 01:05:33.895 align:center
Anybody who ever built an empire
or changed the world

01:05:33.987 --> 01:05:34.987 align:center
sat where you are now.

01:05:37.512 --> 01:05:40.032 align:center
And it’s because they sat there
that they were able to do it.

01:05:45.476 --> 01:05:47.306 align:center
There’s a packet
in front of you.

01:05:47.565 --> 01:05:49.265 align:center
I want you to take some time
and review it.

01:05:51.178 --> 01:05:52.488 align:center
All the answers
you’re looking for

01:05:52.570 --> 01:05:54.050 align:center
are inside those pages.

01:05:58.359 --> 01:06:00.189 align:center
The sooner
you trust the process,

01:06:00.274 --> 01:06:02.714 align:center
the sooner the next step
of your life will unveil itself.

01:06:11.459 --> 01:06:13.029 align:center
I need you to go back
to your office now

01:06:13.113 --> 01:06:15.333 align:center
and start putting together
your personal things.

01:06:33.829 --> 01:06:35.969 align:center
Mr. Samuels,
that’s all we can discuss now.

01:06:41.097 --> 01:06:42.227 align:center
Mr. Samuels.

01:06:51.803 --> 01:06:52.843 align:center
Mr. Samuels.

01:06:56.765 --> 01:06:57.935 align:center
Mr. Samuels!

01:07:14.957 --> 01:07:16.007 align:center
You did good.

01:07:19.092 --> 01:07:20.702 align:center
You okay?
You want me to take over?

01:07:21.703 --> 01:07:22.613 align:center
No, I’m all right.

01:07:39.068 --> 01:07:41.338 align:center
No. Look, we just got here.

01:07:41.418 --> 01:07:43.508 align:center
That’s one place. I think
we need to try a few more.

01:07:45.074 --> 01:07:46.464 align:center
Uh. Eh. Maybe
it doesn’t make a difference,

01:07:46.554 --> 01:07:48.554 align:center
but it’s comforting to know
that we’re in the next room.

01:07:49.078 --> 01:07:52.168 align:center
I know you don’t give a shit
about my comfort. Sh--

01:07:52.777 --> 01:07:55.607 align:center
I think we could try a few more,
that’s all I'm saying.

01:07:59.654 --> 01:08:00.614 align:center
Fine.

01:08:03.962 --> 01:08:06.392 align:center
All right. Okay. All right.

01:08:13.363 --> 01:08:17.713 align:center
He thought you did a great job.
You did. I’m real proud of you.

01:08:18.716 --> 01:08:19.676 align:center
Thanks.

01:08:22.677 --> 01:08:24.247 align:center
They’re pulling us off the road.

01:08:26.811 --> 01:08:27.811 align:center
We’re going home.

01:08:28.813 --> 01:08:31.293 align:center
Really? For good?

01:08:32.382 --> 01:08:33.252 align:center
Yeah.

01:08:35.864 --> 01:08:36.734 align:center
Good job.

01:09:03.283 --> 01:09:05.113 align:center
I’m sorry about what I said
about Alex.

01:09:05.198 --> 01:09:06.068 align:center
That was out of line.

01:09:06.851 --> 01:09:08.461 align:center
It’s all right. I understand.

01:09:08.766 --> 01:09:09.766 align:center
I mean, who am I

01:09:09.941 --> 01:09:12.291 align:center
to be doling out
relationship advice, right?

01:09:12.509 --> 01:09:13.779 align:center
No kidding.

01:09:18.559 --> 01:09:20.089 align:center
Are you gonna be okay?

01:09:21.257 --> 01:09:23.307 align:center
What do you mean?
In Omaha?

01:09:24.608 --> 01:09:25.568 align:center
Oh.

01:09:26.697 --> 01:09:27.787 align:center
I don’t know.

01:09:30.310 --> 01:09:31.840 align:center
It’s better than you'd think.

01:09:41.973 --> 01:09:42.973 align:center
Ryan.

01:09:43.714 --> 01:09:45.804 align:center
Ryan. Where--
Where are you going?

01:09:45.934 --> 01:09:48.674 align:center
I’m grabbing another flight.
Something I gotta take care of.

01:09:48.763 --> 01:09:50.633 align:center
I’ll see you back in...
uh, home.

01:10:09.871 --> 01:10:11.391 align:center
Okay, just walk it in a little.

01:10:13.135 --> 01:10:17.395 align:center
A little more.
There you go. Yeah.

01:10:21.099 --> 01:10:21.969 align:center
Got it.

01:10:26.104 --> 01:10:27.274 align:center
They’re a cute couple.

01:10:28.281 --> 01:10:30.101 align:center
You think so?
Yeah, they’ll make cute kids.

01:10:32.546 --> 01:10:35.026 align:center
How do you like
Wisconsin in February?

01:10:36.289 --> 01:10:37.729 align:center
I like it if you’re there.

01:10:38.334 --> 01:10:39.984 align:center
And I know a killer burger
in Milwaukee.

01:10:40.118 --> 01:10:41.388 align:center
Northern Wisconsin.

01:10:44.210 --> 01:10:45.690 align:center
What are you doing this weekend?

01:10:47.691 --> 01:10:49.731 align:center
No.
What, I haven’t even--

01:10:49.824 --> 01:10:51.474 align:center
No. Uh. Well, y--
you want me to be your date?

01:10:51.956 --> 01:10:53.566 align:center
Yeah. Uh, uh. Yeah.

01:10:53.741 --> 01:10:55.221 align:center
I mean,
at your sister’s wedding?

01:10:55.351 --> 01:10:56.481 align:center
It’s not like
I know her that well.

01:10:58.093 --> 01:11:00.573 align:center
Look, I’m not the wedding type, right?

01:11:01.183 --> 01:11:02.273 align:center
But for the first time
in my life,

01:11:02.445 --> 01:11:04.275 align:center
I don’t want to be
that guy alone at a bar.

01:11:04.360 --> 01:11:07.150 align:center
I want a dance partner.
I want a "plus one."

01:11:07.233 --> 01:11:09.663 align:center
And if you can stomach it,
I’d like it to be you.

01:11:35.522 --> 01:11:37.912 align:center
Excuse me. Are you available?

01:11:38.438 --> 01:11:41.268 align:center
This line’s for members
of our Matterhorn Program.

01:11:47.447 --> 01:11:48.497 align:center
Hey. Ryan.

01:11:49.753 --> 01:11:51.713 align:center
- Hey.
- Kara.

01:11:51.973 --> 01:11:54.363 align:center
Hi. Hey. Hi.
Hi. Come on.

01:11:54.454 --> 01:11:56.804 align:center
Hi.
Alex, this is my sister, Kara.

01:11:56.934 --> 01:11:58.974 align:center
- Hi.
- Well, hello.

01:12:00.068 --> 01:12:03.768 align:center
Ryan’s told me
nothing about you.

01:12:04.202 --> 01:12:05.762 align:center
So, you two are dating?

01:12:08.772 --> 01:12:09.852 align:center
No, not exactly.

01:12:09.947 --> 01:12:11.337 align:center
Well, hey,
don’t worry about it.

01:12:11.427 --> 01:12:12.817 align:center
We’re all getting a little old

01:12:12.907 --> 01:12:14.697 align:center
to be calling someone
"girlfriend."

01:12:14.778 --> 01:12:17.128 align:center
I remember when Mom
used to call Jack her boyfriend.

01:12:17.259 --> 01:12:21.089 align:center
God. Drove me up the wall.
Boyfriends are for kids, right?

01:12:21.176 --> 01:12:24.306 align:center
So, what are you
doing at the hotel?

01:12:25.006 --> 01:12:26.356 align:center
Yeah. Okay, uh,

01:12:26.616 --> 01:12:30.486 align:center
Frank and I are trying out
a... a trial separation.

01:12:30.577 --> 01:12:31.447 align:center
Oh, I’m sorry.

01:12:31.621 --> 01:12:32.571 align:center
So you’re not staying
at the house?

01:12:32.666 --> 01:12:34.846 align:center
No, there was a room
on hold here,

01:12:34.929 --> 01:12:36.939 align:center
so, I thought I’d just take it
for the weekend.

01:12:37.105 --> 01:12:38.065 align:center
Ah.

01:12:40.326 --> 01:12:41.546 align:center
So, the rehearsal dinner.

01:12:41.631 --> 01:12:43.541 align:center
Oh, yeah, tonight.
I’ll see you two there.

01:12:47.811 --> 01:12:49.591 align:center
Nice digs.

01:12:52.468 --> 01:12:53.338 align:center
There’s a packet.

01:13:00.607 --> 01:13:02.087 align:center
Hey, look who’s here.

01:13:02.609 --> 01:13:04.399 align:center
Oh, my God!
He finally made it.

01:13:04.480 --> 01:13:06.750 align:center
- Hey. Hey.
- Oh, my God! Ryan!

01:13:06.874 --> 01:13:09.484 align:center
Hi.

01:13:10.312 --> 01:13:14.272 align:center
Uh. Oh. You must be Alex.
Yes, I am. Hi. How are you?

01:13:14.360 --> 01:13:15.710 align:center
Oh, you are so beautiful.

01:13:15.796 --> 01:13:17.576 align:center
- Oh. Thank you.
- Kara was right.

01:13:19.626 --> 01:13:23.936 align:center
Gosh. You--
You look so grown-up.

01:13:24.065 --> 01:13:25.895 align:center
I do? You’re the one
that’s getting married.

01:13:25.980 --> 01:13:28.680 align:center
I know, right?
It's...

01:13:28.896 --> 01:13:31.686 align:center
Oh. Well,
you haven’t even seen my ring.
Hmm.

01:13:32.856 --> 01:13:34.466 align:center
Wow, look at that.
Oh, it’s lovely.

01:13:34.815 --> 01:13:37.125 align:center
- Jim designed it.
- That’s...

01:13:37.426 --> 01:13:39.386 align:center
Hey, Jim. D--

01:13:41.212 --> 01:13:43.432 align:center
Hey.
How’s it going?

01:13:43.519 --> 01:13:44.609 align:center
Hey. I’m Ryan.

01:13:44.694 --> 01:13:46.084 align:center
Jim. Good to meet you.

01:13:46.174 --> 01:13:47.744 align:center
- Alex. Pleasure.
- Pleasure.

01:13:48.872 --> 01:13:50.172 align:center
Well, thank you, guys,
for coming.

01:13:51.788 --> 01:13:52.838 align:center
Brother.

01:13:55.009 --> 01:13:57.229 align:center
It’s true, though.
Yeah, it’s crazy.

01:13:57.315 --> 01:13:58.315 align:center
Uh, ah.

01:13:59.056 --> 01:14:00.666 align:center
I got the pictures
you asked me to get.
Ah.

01:14:00.754 --> 01:14:02.624 align:center
Mm-hmm!
You can just put them
right there.

01:14:02.712 --> 01:14:03.712 align:center
Yep.

01:14:05.889 --> 01:14:06.889 align:center
Yeah, okay.

01:14:36.790 --> 01:14:37.800 align:center
You got so many of them
up there,

01:14:37.878 --> 01:14:38.838 align:center
I almost didn’t have room.
Hmm.

01:14:39.314 --> 01:14:42.014 align:center
I know. It’s so great.
Everyone just chipped in.

01:14:43.013 --> 01:14:45.233 align:center
What gave you the idea
to do something so...

01:14:45.886 --> 01:14:46.886 align:center
Substantial.

01:14:47.409 --> 01:14:51.159 align:center
Well, Jim has a lot
of our nest egg invested

01:14:51.239 --> 01:14:52.979 align:center
in this real estate venture.

01:14:53.067 --> 01:14:55.327 align:center
Mm-hmm. It’s a in--
A real estate investment.

01:14:55.417 --> 01:14:56.897 align:center
- Hmm.
- Yeah. It’s exciting

01:14:57.071 --> 01:14:58.811 align:center
but we went
over our finances and--

01:14:58.899 --> 01:15:01.249 align:center
A honeymoon just kind of
at this state in the game

01:15:01.336 --> 01:15:03.116 align:center
just doesn’t really
seem affordable.

01:15:03.207 --> 01:15:07.087 align:center
So, you know, we just thought,
"Just because we can’t travel

01:15:07.168 --> 01:15:08.828 align:center
"doesn’t mean
we can’t have pictures."

01:15:08.909 --> 01:15:10.649 align:center
No, I think
that’s a fabulous idea.

01:15:10.737 --> 01:15:11.607 align:center
Yeah, it’s a good one.

01:15:11.999 --> 01:15:15.089 align:center
I mean, the concept
is turnkey everything. Okay?

01:15:15.176 --> 01:15:16.956 align:center
You buy a maintenance contract
when you get the home.

01:15:17.047 --> 01:15:18.307 align:center
You know,
we’ll whack your weeds,

01:15:18.396 --> 01:15:19.446 align:center
we’ll change your light bulbs.

01:15:19.528 --> 01:15:21.138 align:center
Furniture,
you can bring your own

01:15:21.225 --> 01:15:23.225 align:center
or else you can pick one
of our beautiful packages.

01:15:23.314 --> 01:15:25.794 align:center
Seamless traditionalism,
yet all the perks.

01:15:25.926 --> 01:15:26.926 align:center
Nice.

01:15:27.580 --> 01:15:29.240 align:center
And we all need
a place to call our own.

01:15:29.320 --> 01:15:31.760 align:center
This is America.
This is what we were promised.

01:15:32.889 --> 01:15:35.199 align:center
It’s a nice touch.
What?

01:15:35.501 --> 01:15:38.371 align:center
The bit at the end about
the promise. I like that part.

01:15:38.547 --> 01:15:40.377 align:center
Oh. Thanks.

01:15:40.506 --> 01:15:42.076 align:center
Mm-hmm.

01:15:42.203 --> 01:15:43.593 align:center
- Oh.
- You, uh...

01:15:44.901 --> 01:15:46.161 align:center
You still renting
that one-bedroom?

01:15:46.990 --> 01:15:48.170 align:center
No. I gave it up.

01:15:48.514 --> 01:15:50.474 align:center
So you own now?
No.

01:15:51.342 --> 01:15:54.342 align:center
But you’re looking?
No, not really.

01:15:56.304 --> 01:15:57.524 align:center
So, you’re just good?

01:15:58.872 --> 01:16:02.042 align:center
- I’m good.
- Well, that’s good.

01:16:02.397 --> 01:16:07.007 align:center
Can you believe it’s tomorrow?
How are you gonna sleep?
I don’t know.

01:16:07.271 --> 01:16:10.051 align:center
Well, do you want some Xanax?

01:16:10.144 --> 01:16:11.364 align:center
I don’t think
that’s for sleeping.

01:16:11.493 --> 01:16:12.443 align:center
- Yeah.
- Hmm?

01:16:12.842 --> 01:16:14.972 align:center
No, I think I’ll just have
a glass of warm milk.

01:16:15.062 --> 01:16:16.582 align:center
That’ll do the trick.

01:16:16.672 --> 01:16:17.972 align:center
Okay. See you tomorrow.

01:16:18.065 --> 01:16:19.155 align:center
Okay.
Bye.

01:16:19.414 --> 01:16:20.584 align:center
Bye.
Bye.

01:16:20.676 --> 01:16:22.856 align:center
Hey. There’s another box inside.
Oh.

01:16:22.939 --> 01:16:24.599 align:center
- I’ll grab it.
- You sure?

01:16:24.680 --> 01:16:25.640 align:center
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:16:35.909 --> 01:16:38.919 align:center
Jim seems like a good guy.
Yeah, isn’t he great?

01:16:38.999 --> 01:16:40.659 align:center
He’s going to make
a great husband.

01:16:40.783 --> 01:16:41.953 align:center
Hmm.
Mm. Yeah.

01:16:43.438 --> 01:16:45.358 align:center
You know, Julie, I was...
I was thinking,

01:16:45.440 --> 01:16:48.230 align:center
you know,
with Dad not being here, um...

01:16:49.662 --> 01:16:50.792 align:center
I was wondering
if you had anybody

01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:52.060 align:center
to walk you down the aisle.

01:16:55.537 --> 01:16:56.797 align:center
Yeah. Um.

01:16:58.322 --> 01:17:00.322 align:center
No, Jim’s uncle is gonna do it.

01:17:00.498 --> 01:17:02.588 align:center
Yeah.
He’s been really supportive.

01:17:03.501 --> 01:17:04.801 align:center
He’s been great.

01:17:05.025 --> 01:17:06.325 align:center
Well, good. That’s great.

01:17:06.461 --> 01:17:09.201 align:center
I just wanted to make sure
that you... Uh.

01:17:09.290 --> 01:17:11.170 align:center
I wanted you to be covered,
that’s all.

01:17:15.339 --> 01:17:17.689 align:center
So, I should be there, what?

01:17:18.038 --> 01:17:20.478 align:center
Yeah, the guests
are arriving around 5:00...
Mm-hmm.

01:17:20.606 --> 01:17:24.266 align:center
...and things get going at 5:30,
so around then.

01:17:24.348 --> 01:17:25.828 align:center
Okay.

01:17:26.829 --> 01:17:28.749 align:center
Oh.

01:17:29.440 --> 01:17:31.010 align:center
Let me--
I’m gonna help you with those.

01:17:33.183 --> 01:17:34.093 align:center
Got it.

01:17:35.403 --> 01:17:38.183 align:center
It’s okay. It's okay. It’s okay.

01:17:45.587 --> 01:17:47.457 align:center
Hmm!

01:17:47.850 --> 01:17:49.330 align:center
None of that was here.

01:17:49.417 --> 01:17:51.247 align:center
- Uh-huh?
- This is all new.

01:18:02.082 --> 01:18:03.692 align:center
Really?

01:18:05.607 --> 01:18:07.697 align:center
- Is that all you got?
- What?

01:18:15.095 --> 01:18:16.095 align:center
Give me a boost.

01:18:19.012 --> 01:18:19.922 align:center
Watch--

01:18:21.579 --> 01:18:24.889 align:center
Hang on.

01:18:29.152 --> 01:18:31.502 align:center
Ah. I took Geography in here.

01:18:32.852 --> 01:18:35.282 align:center
You ever fool around
with one of your teachers?

01:18:35.550 --> 01:18:38.640 align:center
No. Did you?
No. Not until college.

01:18:40.990 --> 01:18:44.300 align:center
<i>♪ All crushed out

01:18:44.385 --> 01:18:45.825 align:center
That’s me on the right.

01:18:48.389 --> 01:18:50.219 align:center
It’s kind of hard to tell.

01:18:50.304 --> 01:18:51.694 align:center
You can tell
by the eyebrows.

01:18:52.872 --> 01:18:55.832 align:center
You played basketball?
I was a point guard.

01:18:55.918 --> 01:18:57.448 align:center
Don’t act so surprised.

01:18:57.528 --> 01:18:59.488 align:center
I didn’t know
you were such a jock.

01:19:00.923 --> 01:19:02.013 align:center
That’s me too.

01:19:03.970 --> 01:19:04.980 align:center
And that.

01:19:09.062 --> 01:19:11.362 align:center
How’d it go?
Got my ass kicked.

01:19:12.369 --> 01:19:15.589 align:center
This is where
we used to go to make out.

01:19:16.417 --> 01:19:19.987 align:center
Oh, yes. Yeah.
This is very romantic.
Mm-hmm.

01:19:26.035 --> 01:19:27.035 align:center
Go, Cougars!

01:19:29.473 --> 01:19:32.733 align:center
Let's see about that!

01:19:33.303 --> 01:19:36.343 align:center
I’m really happy I came here.
So am I.

01:19:42.878 --> 01:19:43.838 align:center
It’s Kara.

01:19:45.707 --> 01:19:47.627 align:center
Hey.
Ryan, where are you?

01:19:47.709 --> 01:19:48.849 align:center
We’re having a meltdown here.

01:19:48.971 --> 01:19:50.751 align:center
What’s going on? What happened?

01:19:50.886 --> 01:19:52.536 align:center
It’s Jim. Can you get back here?
We need your help.

01:19:52.845 --> 01:19:53.755 align:center
Okay.

01:19:55.761 --> 01:19:56.711 align:center

Jim’s got cold feet.

01:20:25.616 --> 01:20:27.876 align:center
Today?
Yeah, that’s how cold feet work.

01:20:28.097 --> 01:20:30.407 align:center
- What do you want me to do?
- Talk to him.

01:20:31.144 --> 01:20:32.364 align:center
You want me to talk to him?

01:20:32.580 --> 01:20:34.280 align:center
Hey, it’s either you or me.

01:20:34.364 --> 01:20:36.934 align:center
You know my track record.
I’ve already struck out once.

01:20:37.019 --> 01:20:39.419 align:center
I haven’t been to bat.
I haven’t been in the dugout.

01:20:39.587 --> 01:20:41.987 align:center
Don’t you talk for a living?
Motivational-type stuff?

01:20:42.111 --> 01:20:43.891 align:center
I tell people
how to avoid commitment.

01:20:44.679 --> 01:20:46.379 align:center
What kind of fucked-up message
is that?

01:20:46.550 --> 01:20:47.950 align:center
It’s a philosophy.
It’s stupid.

01:20:48.074 --> 01:20:49.684 align:center
Hey, it could have helped you.

01:20:49.771 --> 01:20:52.771 align:center
Ryan.
You haven’t been around much.

01:20:52.992 --> 01:20:55.642 align:center
Fuck, basically,
you don’t exist to us.

01:20:56.734 --> 01:20:58.734 align:center
I know
you wanna be there for her.

01:20:59.781 --> 01:21:02.871 align:center
Well, here it is.
This is your chance.

01:21:24.588 --> 01:21:25.808 align:center
Hey. What’s up, Ryan?

01:21:28.462 --> 01:21:30.632 align:center
Jim.
You ever read this before?

01:21:32.031 --> 01:21:33.901 align:center
Yeah,
it’s pretty powerful stuff.

01:21:34.729 --> 01:21:35.729 align:center
Yeah, I’ll say.

01:21:39.081 --> 01:21:41.161 align:center
Uh. Kara mentioned

01:21:41.257 --> 01:21:43.917 align:center
that you were, uh,
having some thoughts.

01:21:45.087 --> 01:21:47.567 align:center
I don’t think
I’m gonna be able to, uh...

01:21:47.960 --> 01:21:48.880 align:center
to do this.

01:21:50.136 --> 01:21:52.706 align:center
And why would you
say that today?

01:21:54.140 --> 01:21:55.840 align:center
Well, last night
I was just kind of like,

01:21:55.924 --> 01:21:58.494 align:center
laying in bed,
and I couldn’t get to sleep,

01:21:58.579 --> 01:22:00.759 align:center
so, I started thinking about
the wedding and the ceremony,

01:22:00.842 --> 01:22:04.542 align:center
and about our buying a house,
and moving in together,

01:22:04.933 --> 01:22:07.803 align:center
and having a kid,
and then having another kid.

01:22:07.893 --> 01:22:10.373 align:center
And then Christmas
and Thanksgiving,

01:22:10.547 --> 01:22:13.467 align:center
and spring break,
and going to football games.

01:22:13.550 --> 01:22:15.250 align:center
And then, all of a sudden,
they’re graduating,

01:22:15.335 --> 01:22:17.035 align:center
they’re getting jobs,
and they’re getting married,

01:22:17.163 --> 01:22:18.853 align:center
and, you know,
I’m a grandparent.

01:22:19.513 --> 01:22:20.813 align:center
And then I’m retired.

01:22:20.906 --> 01:22:22.686 align:center
I’m losing my hair.
I’m getting fat.

01:22:22.864 --> 01:22:24.904 align:center
And then the next thing
you know, I’m dead.

01:22:25.562 --> 01:22:26.512 align:center
I’m just, like,

01:22:26.955 --> 01:22:29.005 align:center
I can’t stop from thinking,
"What’s the point?"

01:22:32.961 --> 01:22:34.261 align:center
I mean, what is the point?

01:22:35.921 --> 01:22:36.791 align:center
The point?

01:22:36.965 --> 01:22:39.575 align:center
Yeah, I mean,
what am I starting here?

01:22:41.578 --> 01:22:44.238 align:center
Jim, it’s marriage.

01:22:44.320 --> 01:22:46.980 align:center
It’s one of the most
beautiful things on earth.

01:22:47.062 --> 01:22:49.622 align:center
It’s what, uh...
what people aspire to.

01:22:49.891 --> 01:22:52.451 align:center
Well, you never got married.
That’s true.

01:22:53.329 --> 01:22:54.599 align:center
I mean, you never even tried.

01:22:54.722 --> 01:22:56.852 align:center
Well, it’s hard to define try,
you know.

01:22:56.985 --> 01:22:58.465 align:center
I don’t know, just...

01:22:58.552 --> 01:23:00.682 align:center
You seem happier
than all my married friends.

01:23:00.815 --> 01:23:02.075 align:center
Well...

01:23:03.122 --> 01:23:04.552 align:center
Look, Jim,
I’m not gonna lie to you.

01:23:04.645 --> 01:23:06.475 align:center
Marriage can be
a pain in the ass.

01:23:07.213 --> 01:23:09.173 align:center
And you’re kind of right.
This all is just stuff

01:23:09.258 --> 01:23:11.868 align:center
that leads
to your eventual demise.

01:23:12.044 --> 01:23:12.954 align:center
Yes.

01:23:13.175 --> 01:23:14.345 align:center
And we’re all on running clocks,

01:23:14.437 --> 01:23:16.697 align:center
and they can’t be slowed down
or paused,

01:23:16.787 --> 01:23:20.057 align:center
and, you know,
we all end up in the same place.

01:23:20.182 --> 01:23:21.092 align:center
Yeah.

01:23:21.705 --> 01:23:24.495 align:center
Um. There is no point.

01:23:24.665 --> 01:23:26.845 align:center
There is no point.
That’s what I'm saying.

01:23:29.104 --> 01:23:30.714 align:center
What?

01:23:32.673 --> 01:23:33.893 align:center
You know, uh...

01:23:35.545 --> 01:23:36.675 align:center
I’m not normally the guy

01:23:36.764 --> 01:23:38.414 align:center
you would talk to
about stuff like this.

01:23:42.857 --> 01:23:44.167 align:center
If you think about it...

01:23:46.469 --> 01:23:47.519 align:center
your favorite memories,

01:23:47.688 --> 01:23:49.688 align:center
the most important moments
in your life...

01:23:51.083 --> 01:23:52.083 align:center
were you alone?

01:23:53.781 --> 01:23:55.861 align:center
Mm, no, I guess not.

01:23:57.393 --> 01:23:58.823 align:center
Hey, come to think of it,

01:23:59.439 --> 01:24:01.229 align:center
last night, the night
before your wedding,

01:24:01.310 --> 01:24:03.320 align:center
when all this shit's
swirling around in your head,

01:24:03.399 --> 01:24:05.059 align:center
weren’t you guys sleeping
in separate bedrooms?

01:24:05.749 --> 01:24:07.539 align:center
Yeah, Julie went back
to the apartment,

01:24:07.621 --> 01:24:10.231 align:center
and I was just by myself
in the honeymoon suite.

01:24:10.667 --> 01:24:13.367 align:center
Kind of lonely, huh?
Yeah, it was pretty lonely.

01:24:15.716 --> 01:24:17.156 align:center
Life’s better with company.

01:24:19.415 --> 01:24:22.545 align:center
Yeah.
Everybody needs a co-pilot.

01:24:25.291 --> 01:24:27.111 align:center
That was a nice touch.
Thanks.

01:24:28.511 --> 01:24:33.471 align:center
So, uh,
what’s the mood like out there?

01:24:33.690 --> 01:24:36.310 align:center
It’s not good.
She’s pretty pissed?

01:24:36.737 --> 01:24:37.697 align:center
She’s upset.

01:24:40.697 --> 01:24:42.047 align:center
What should I do?

01:24:44.353 --> 01:24:45.313 align:center
Go get her.

01:24:50.403 --> 01:24:52.793 align:center
I'm so sorry.

01:25:00.674 --> 01:25:03.544 align:center
I’m such a fuck-up.
I love you so much.

01:25:04.373 --> 01:25:05.633 align:center
Will you be my co-pilot?

01:25:08.334 --> 01:25:10.374 align:center
Yes. Yes.

01:25:16.255 --> 01:25:17.255 align:center

Okay, this is your stop.

01:28:02.899 --> 01:28:04.429 align:center
When am I gonna see you?

01:28:05.162 --> 01:28:06.722 align:center
You’re just gonna
have to come visit.

01:28:06.860 --> 01:28:09.260 align:center
So settled.

01:28:11.343 --> 01:28:12.903 align:center
You’re not gonna
change on me, are you?

01:28:13.040 --> 01:28:16.740 align:center
No. Same guy.
Just one address.

01:28:17.349 --> 01:28:20.229 align:center
<i>This is your final boarding call</i>

01:28:20.308 --> 01:28:23.178 align:center
<i>for American Airlines,
flight number 3972 to Chicago.</i>

01:28:25.139 --> 01:28:27.279 align:center
All right.
Call me when you get lonely.

01:28:31.058 --> 01:28:32.148 align:center
I’m lonely.

01:29:06.006 --> 01:29:08.136 align:center
Some guy sits down
in a conference room somewhere

01:29:08.225 --> 01:29:09.615 align:center
and our server
routes his session

01:29:09.705 --> 01:29:11.055 align:center
to one
of our termination engineers.

01:29:11.620 --> 01:29:13.540 align:center
"Termination engineers"? Really?

01:29:13.622 --> 01:29:15.492 align:center
I preferred "terminators,"
but it bumped with Legal.

01:29:15.711 --> 01:29:17.101 align:center
Can’t imagine why.

01:29:17.713 --> 01:29:19.803 align:center
They follow a workflow
that takes them through anything

01:29:19.889 --> 01:29:21.499 align:center
from a standard dismissal
to a violent aggressor.

01:29:21.587 --> 01:29:23.547 align:center
What are they doing now?
Are they practicing?

01:29:23.719 --> 01:29:25.729 align:center
Well, beta testing,
role-playing.

01:29:25.808 --> 01:29:28.028 align:center
Um. We go live
at the end of the month.

01:29:28.158 --> 01:29:30.558 align:center
Kyle, you’re running
through the events too quickly.

01:29:30.639 --> 01:29:32.209 align:center
You need to give them time
to acknowledge each statement.

01:29:32.293 --> 01:29:33.593 align:center
Okay? It’s a legal thing.

01:29:35.122 --> 01:29:37.552 align:center
Ryan? Hmm.
Hmm? Oh. Yeah. There’s more?

01:29:40.562 --> 01:29:44.172 align:center
<i>♪ Were you looking
For signs along the way? ♪</i>

01:29:44.349 --> 01:29:46.269 align:center
This is ridiculous.

01:29:46.481 --> 01:29:47.481 align:center
Well, you know,

01:29:47.656 --> 01:29:48.966 align:center
Legal’s really starting
to come hard at me

01:29:49.049 --> 01:29:51.529 align:center
on this term, "terminate,"
so let's try to get...

01:29:51.617 --> 01:29:56.537 align:center

Ladies and gentlemen,

01:30:31.526 --> 01:30:33.526 align:center
put your hands together
for today’s challenge speaker,

01:30:33.615 --> 01:30:34.655 align:center
Mr. Ryan Bingham.

01:30:34.964 --> 01:30:38.144 align:center
Go get them.

01:30:49.239 --> 01:30:52.599 align:center
Last year, I flew 350,000 miles.

01:30:53.940 --> 01:30:55.210 align:center
The moon is 250.

01:30:58.901 --> 01:31:00.291 align:center
I want you to imagine
for a second

01:31:00.381 --> 01:31:03.251 align:center
that you’re...
you're carrying a backpack.

01:31:03.689 --> 01:31:05.739 align:center
I want you to feel the straps
on your shoulders.

01:31:07.127 --> 01:31:08.177 align:center
You feel them?

01:31:10.260 --> 01:31:11.700 align:center
Now, I want you to pack it...

01:31:12.698 --> 01:31:15.048 align:center
with all the stuff
that you have in your life.

01:31:16.223 --> 01:31:17.263 align:center
Start with the little things,

01:31:17.354 --> 01:31:21.444 align:center
the things on shelves
and in drawers.

01:31:41.335 --> 01:31:42.335 align:center
Excuse me.

01:31:46.514 --> 01:31:49.734 align:center
What the fuck are you doing?
Okay, everyone, just relax.

01:32:15.804 --> 01:32:17.974 align:center
Hey! You... you gotta sign.
Oh. Thought I did that already.

01:32:19.547 --> 01:32:20.727 align:center
Okay, thank you.
All right.

01:32:24.117 --> 01:32:27.037 align:center
H... hey, you forgot to give me
your Hertz No.1 Gold Card!

01:33:03.199 --> 01:33:04.599 align:center
So, I was in the neighborhood.

01:33:09.423 --> 01:33:12.993 align:center
Hey! Hey, wait! Wait, wait.

01:33:20.565 --> 01:33:22.265 align:center
Hey, honey,
who’s at the door?

01:33:22.349 --> 01:33:24.089 align:center
It’s just somebody who's lost.

01:34:23.018 --> 01:34:23.938 align:center
Alex?

01:34:24.716 --> 01:34:27.236 align:center
What were you thinking,
showing up at my door like that?

01:34:27.719 --> 01:34:30.029 align:center
What do you mean?
I-- I wanted to see you.

01:34:30.112 --> 01:34:33.332 align:center
I didn’t know you had a family.
Why wouldn’t you tell me that?

01:34:33.463 --> 01:34:34.633 align:center
Look, I’m sorry
I ruined your evening but,

01:34:34.987 --> 01:34:36.777 align:center
I mean, you could've seriously
screwed things up for me.

01:34:36.858 --> 01:34:40.258 align:center
That’s-- That's my family.
That’s my real life.

01:34:43.517 --> 01:34:45.307 align:center
I thought I was a part
of your real life.

01:34:46.999 --> 01:34:49.089 align:center
I thought-- I thought
we signed up for the same thing.

01:34:51.177 --> 01:34:52.697 align:center
Try and help me understand

01:34:52.787 --> 01:34:55.007 align:center
exactly what it is
that you signed up for.

01:34:56.399 --> 01:34:59.409 align:center
I thought our relationship
was perfectly clear.

01:34:59.533 --> 01:35:03.493 align:center
I mean, you...
you are an escape.

01:35:05.974 --> 01:35:07.674 align:center
<i>You’re a break
from our normal lives.</i>

01:35:07.759 --> 01:35:10.419 align:center
You’re a... a parenthesis.

01:35:13.852 --> 01:35:15.112 align:center
I’m a parenthesis?

01:35:15.767 --> 01:35:19.207 align:center
I mean, it-- Wh--
Wh-- What do you want?

01:35:21.120 --> 01:35:22.560 align:center
Tell me what you want.

01:35:28.083 --> 01:35:30.473 align:center
You don’t even know
what you want.

01:35:31.043 --> 01:35:34.783 align:center
<i>Ryan... I’m a grown-up, okay?</i>

01:35:35.700 --> 01:35:37.360 align:center
So, if you would like
to see me again,

01:35:37.440 --> 01:35:39.620 align:center
then... then give me a call.

01:35:41.575 --> 01:35:42.615 align:center
Okay?

01:35:44.012 --> 01:35:45.012 align:center
Uh.

01:35:59.114 --> 01:36:00.284 align:center
<i>Ladies and gentlemen,</i>

01:36:00.376 --> 01:36:02.116 align:center
<i>we have a special announcement
to make.</i>

01:36:02.248 --> 01:36:05.338 align:center
Our pilot has just informed me
that we are passing over

01:36:05.468 --> 01:36:06.688 align:center
the city of Dubuque,

01:36:06.774 --> 01:36:09.214 align:center
which might not mean much
to most of you,

01:36:09.298 --> 01:36:11.868 align:center
but means a lot
to one of our flyers today.

01:36:11.953 --> 01:36:12.823 align:center
Oh, no.

01:36:12.998 --> 01:36:16.828 align:center
Because he just hit
ten million miles!

01:36:20.657 --> 01:36:23.657 align:center
- Congratulations.
- Such an amazing accomplishment.

01:36:23.748 --> 01:36:25.228 align:center
You must be very, very excited.

01:36:25.358 --> 01:36:26.318 align:center
I know.

01:36:26.489 --> 01:36:27.929 align:center
Oh, hi, captain.
Captain.

01:36:28.840 --> 01:36:30.020 align:center
That seat taken?

01:36:31.756 --> 01:36:32.886 align:center
No. No.

01:36:40.286 --> 01:36:42.546 align:center
You’re the youngest yet
to hit ten mil.

01:36:43.724 --> 01:36:45.554 align:center
Don’t know where you found
the time.

01:36:46.466 --> 01:36:48.776 align:center
Yeah, I-- I don’t know.

01:36:50.339 --> 01:36:51.649 align:center
Oh, yeah.

01:36:55.170 --> 01:36:56.090 align:center
Here you go.

01:36:58.783 --> 01:37:00.393 align:center
Seventh card we’ve made.

01:37:01.786 --> 01:37:02.786 align:center
Small club.

01:37:06.181 --> 01:37:08.051 align:center
We really appreciate
your loyalty.

01:37:11.839 --> 01:37:14.369 align:center
You know how many times
I thought about this moment?

01:37:17.062 --> 01:37:18.322 align:center
Played out the conversation

01:37:18.411 --> 01:37:19.891 align:center
that you and I
would have right here?

01:37:20.456 --> 01:37:21.366 align:center
Really?

01:37:24.896 --> 01:37:26.376 align:center
What did you want to say?

01:37:32.120 --> 01:37:33.520 align:center
You know, I don’t remember.

01:37:36.168 --> 01:37:39.258 align:center
That’s all right.
It happens to all of us.

01:37:43.610 --> 01:37:44.830 align:center
So, where are you from?

01:37:51.836 --> 01:37:52.876 align:center
I’m from here.

01:38:12.204 --> 01:38:13.984 align:center
<i>Hello, Mr. Bingham.</i>

01:38:15.076 --> 01:38:16.516 align:center
How did you know it was me?

01:38:16.817 --> 01:38:18.257 align:center
<i>This is your dedicated line.</i>

01:38:18.340 --> 01:38:21.480 align:center
<i>We reserve them for our most
loyal and appreciated flyers.</i>

01:38:21.691 --> 01:38:23.641 align:center
I’d like to transfer
some of my miles.

01:38:23.780 --> 01:38:27.010 align:center
Can I open up an account
to Jim and Julie Miller?

01:38:27.480 --> 01:38:28.400 align:center
Certainly.

01:38:28.611 --> 01:38:29.911 align:center
<i>How many miles
would you like to transfer?</i>

01:38:30.004 --> 01:38:32.354 align:center
How many miles does it take
to circle the globe?

01:38:32.702 --> 01:38:34.182 align:center
<i>We have
our round-the-world tickets.</i>

01:38:34.269 --> 01:38:35.879 align:center
<i>They’re 500,000 miles each.</i>

01:38:36.881 --> 01:38:38.181 align:center
That’d be fine.
Got a second?

01:38:38.273 --> 01:38:39.573 align:center
Uh. I’ll call you back.

01:38:39.709 --> 01:38:41.149 align:center
What the hell happened
to you yesterday?

01:38:41.233 --> 01:38:42.403 align:center
I was trying
to get a hold of you.

01:38:42.495 --> 01:38:43.535 align:center
I was...

01:38:43.888 --> 01:38:46.068 align:center
Some-- Some personal stuff.
What’s going on?

01:38:46.238 --> 01:38:48.068 align:center
Do you remember Karen Barnes...

01:38:49.894 --> 01:38:53.154 align:center
part of a 30-person reduction
a few weeks back in Wichita?

01:38:53.375 --> 01:38:54.545 align:center
Natalie fired her.

01:38:54.768 --> 01:38:57.728 align:center
I fire
dozens of people a day. I--

01:38:57.902 --> 01:38:59.902 align:center
She killed herself,
jumped off a bridge.

01:39:01.818 --> 01:39:03.958 align:center
Fuck.

01:39:04.212 --> 01:39:06.912 align:center
I need to know
if you remember any woman

01:39:06.998 --> 01:39:09.788 align:center
that gave you any signals,
uh, depression...

01:39:10.044 --> 01:39:11.564 align:center
They’re all depressed.
We’re firing them.

01:39:11.654 --> 01:39:14.134 align:center
Hey, I need to ask you
this stuff, okay?

01:39:14.570 --> 01:39:16.360 align:center
No, I don’t remember anything.

01:39:17.704 --> 01:39:19.224 align:center
You never think that they’re...

01:39:21.360 --> 01:39:23.110 align:center
You don’t remember any woman
that gave you any signals?

01:39:23.275 --> 01:39:26.585 align:center
Anything at all, Ryan?
No, nothing stands out.

01:39:30.238 --> 01:39:31.368 align:center
Natalie all right?

01:39:31.587 --> 01:39:32.937 align:center
Natalie quit.

01:39:37.115 --> 01:39:38.155 align:center
She quit?

01:39:38.855 --> 01:39:40.985 align:center
Text message.

01:39:41.946 --> 01:39:43.126 align:center
Yeah, fucking nice, right?

01:39:43.208 --> 01:39:44.468 align:center
No one’s got
any manners anymore.

01:39:45.688 --> 01:39:47.038 align:center
She say where she was going?

01:39:47.299 --> 01:39:49.129 align:center
No.
She was a little upset.

01:39:51.694 --> 01:39:52.994 align:center
I should give her a call.

01:39:56.917 --> 01:39:58.617 align:center
I need you back in the air.

01:40:02.662 --> 01:40:03.962 align:center
Hey, did you hear what I said?

01:40:04.055 --> 01:40:05.445 align:center
I thought
you’d be thrilled about that.

01:40:06.231 --> 01:40:08.751 align:center
Uh. Oh, it’s fine. What about
the videoconferencing?

01:40:08.885 --> 01:40:12.415 align:center
CTC is going to pause
the new-media front.

01:40:12.498 --> 01:40:14.498 align:center
You know, they’re gonna give it
some more thought.

01:40:15.196 --> 01:40:17.156 align:center
We are gonna get
our workhorses back in the air,

01:40:17.242 --> 01:40:18.722 align:center
doing what they do best, okay?

01:40:20.941 --> 01:40:22.201 align:center
How long are you
sending me out?

01:40:22.856 --> 01:40:24.856 align:center
We’re gonna let you
sail and sail.

01:40:25.206 --> 01:40:27.386 align:center
You send us a postcard
if you ever get there.

01:40:42.267 --> 01:40:43.447 align:center
So, what happened?

01:40:45.705 --> 01:40:47.185 align:center
How exactly do you mean?

01:40:48.229 --> 01:40:49.969 align:center
You graduated top of your class.

01:40:50.405 --> 01:40:51.925 align:center
You seemed to have your pick
of employment,

01:40:52.016 --> 01:40:53.196 align:center
including right here.

01:40:53.408 --> 01:40:56.808 align:center
Instead you went to Omaha
to fire people for a living?

01:40:58.631 --> 01:41:01.241 align:center
- It’s challenging work.
- I’ll say.

01:41:02.156 --> 01:41:04.816 align:center
I can’t imagine doing that,
day in, day out.

01:41:05.246 --> 01:41:06.506 align:center
Not in this climate.

01:41:09.381 --> 01:41:10.591 align:center
I followed a boy.

01:41:12.036 --> 01:41:13.076 align:center
Hmm.

01:41:15.474 --> 01:41:16.604 align:center
Well, I guess
everybody does that

01:41:16.736 --> 01:41:17.606 align:center
at one point or another.

01:41:24.265 --> 01:41:26.355 align:center
This guy says
I’d be lucky to have you.

01:41:26.920 --> 01:41:28.670 align:center
<i>To whom it may concern,</i>

01:41:28.791 --> 01:41:30.481 align:center
<i>I can’t even count
the number of people</i>

01:41:30.576 --> 01:41:32.226 align:center
<i>I’ve fired in my lifetime.</i>

01:41:32.317 --> 01:41:34.017 align:center
<i>So many
that I’ve actually forgotten</i>

01:41:34.101 --> 01:41:35.791 align:center
<i>what it’s like
to hire somebody.</i>

01:41:36.016 --> 01:41:37.146 align:center
<i>We’ve never met,</i>

01:41:37.496 --> 01:41:40.196 align:center
<i>but I know you’d be lucky
to have Natalie Keener.</i>

01:41:41.239 --> 01:41:43.419 align:center
<i>My advice?
Take her and don’t look back.</i>

01:41:44.155 --> 01:41:46.895 align:center
<i>She’ll be the best decision
you’ve made in a long time.</i>

01:41:51.510 --> 01:41:52.690 align:center
I sure hope he’s right.

01:42:04.827 --> 01:42:06.827 align:center
<i>Well, I...
I don’t have a lot of hope,</i>

01:42:06.960 --> 01:42:09.790 align:center
<i>and I really don’t know
when it’s gonna get better.</i>

01:42:09.919 --> 01:42:12.009 align:center
There’s a lot
of people unemployed,

01:42:12.835 --> 01:42:14.925 align:center
and I really don’t know

01:42:15.011 --> 01:42:17.051 align:center
when there’s gonna be light
at the end of the tunnel.

01:42:17.623 --> 01:42:19.533 align:center
I can’t find much to talk about.

01:42:19.755 --> 01:42:22.105 align:center
Talk about being proud.
I’m proud of my kids.

01:42:22.280 --> 01:42:24.240 align:center
I think the anger
comes from the fact

01:42:24.369 --> 01:42:27.589 align:center
that, uh,
I just wasn’t needed anymore.

01:42:27.807 --> 01:42:30.247 align:center
I would say, you know, uh,

01:42:30.331 --> 01:42:33.151 align:center
without my friends
and my family,

01:42:33.291 --> 01:42:34.461 align:center
I wouldn’t have made it.

01:42:34.596 --> 01:42:35.686 align:center
It would have been
a lot tougher

01:42:35.815 --> 01:42:37.385 align:center
if I would have had
to make it on my own.

01:42:37.512 --> 01:42:39.122 align:center
When I wake up in the morning

01:42:39.210 --> 01:42:41.520 align:center
and I look over
and I see my wife,

01:42:42.169 --> 01:42:44.649 align:center
uh, that gives me
the sense of purpose.

01:42:44.780 --> 01:42:47.740 align:center
It’s not all about the money.
Money can keep you warm.

01:42:47.827 --> 01:42:49.527 align:center
It pays your heating bills,
you know.

01:42:49.611 --> 01:42:51.091 align:center
It can buy you a blanket.

01:42:51.613 --> 01:42:54.183 align:center
Uh, but it’s not as--

01:42:54.268 --> 01:42:56.838 align:center
Doesn’t keep you as warm
as when my husband holds me.

01:42:57.576 --> 01:43:01.446 align:center
Let me get up. Let me get out.
Let me find something.

01:43:02.711 --> 01:43:06.101 align:center
So, my kids are my purpose,
my family.

01:43:35.788 --> 01:43:37.918 align:center
<i>Tonight, most people

01:43:38.051 --> 01:43:40.531 align:center

<i>Their spouses will ask

01:43:43.926 --> 01:43:45.316 align:center
<i>and tonight they’ll sleep.</i>

01:43:46.755 --> 01:43:48.325 align:center
<i>The stars will wheel forth</i>

01:43:48.409 --> 01:43:50.499 align:center
<i>from their daytime

01:43:52.283 --> 01:43:55.023 align:center
