Ben: Freud said, "love and work. Work and love.
That's all there is."
Well, I'm retired, and my wife is dead.
As you can imagine, that's given me some time on my hands.
My wife's been gone for three and a half years.
I miss her in every way. And retirement?
That is an ongoing, relentless effort in creativity.
At first, I admit I enjoyed the novelty of it.
Sort of felt like I was playing hooky.
I used all the miles I'd saved and traveled the globe.
The problem was, no matter where I went, as soon as I got home,
the nowhere-to-be thing hit me like a ton of bricks.
I realized the key to this whole deal was to keep moving.
Get up, get out of the house, and go somewhere.
Anywhere.
Come rain or shine, I'm at my Starbucks by 7:15.
Excuse me, mind if we join you?
- No. - Hey. How are you?
Can't explain it, but it makes me feel part of something.
These guys today, they're not numbers guys.
Don't talk figures with them.
How do I spend the rest of my days?
You name it. Golf, books, movies, pinochle.
Tried yoga, learned to cook,
bought some plants, took classes in Mandarin.
Xiang xin wo, wo shen me dou shiguo le.
Translation... "believe me, I've tried everything."
And then, of course, there are the funerals.
So many more than I could imagine.
The only traveling I do these days
is out to San Diego to visit my son and his family.
They're great. I love them to pieces.
But to be honest, I think I probably relied on them
way more than I should.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not an unhappy person.
Quite the contrary.
I just know there's a hole in my life, and I need to fill it.
Soon.
[ Horn honks ]
Which brings me to today when I was leaving the market
and caught your flyer out of the corner of my eye.
Hmm.
"Seniors, be an intern."
Ben, I thought that was you.
Hi.
Hey.
What'd you find?
I think an Internet place is looking for senior interns.
- Am I reading this right? - Let me see.
"Applicants must be over 65 years of age...
Have organizational skills, a genuine interest in e-commerce,"
whatever that is...
"...and a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude."
Aboutthefit.com, isn't that the outfit that was...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They bought one of those old factories in red hook.
My daughter says they sell clothes on the Internet.
How that works, I have no idea.
Well, you have to upload the application.
That could be challenging. Listen to this...
"cover letters are so old-fashioned.
Show us who you are with a cover-letter video.
Upload your video to Youtube or Vimeo using
.MOV, .AVI, or a .MPG file.
We look forward to meeting you."
Well, I guess that's meeting me.
I swear I don't even know what language that was.
What are you doing tonight, Ben?
- A frozen lasagna? - Well...
I could make a little salad, turn it into a dinner for two,
like we did that time and never did again.
You know that was over five months ago?
Oh, yeah. No, no, we got to do that again, for sure,
but okay if we take a rain check?
You're awful cute, you know that?
- No, I didn't. - Well, it's true, you are.
So I'll see you.
Don't take too long, doll.
You're not getting any younger.
- I know, I know, I know. - All right.
[ Clock ticking ]
So here I am, applying to be one of your interns
because the more I think about this idea,
the more tremendous I think it is.
I love the idea of having a place I can go every day.
I want the connection, the excitement.
I want to be challenged,
and I guess I might even want to be needed.
The tech stuff might take a bit to figure out.
I had to call my 9-year-old grandson
just to find out what a USB connector was.
But I'll get there. Eager to learn.
Also, I want you to know I've been a company man all my life.
I'm loyal, I'm trustworthy, and I'm good in a crisis.
And I love that you're right here in Brooklyn.
I've lived here all my life, and lately I feel
I may not be hip enough to live in Brooklyn,
so this could help with that, too.
I read once, musicians don't retire.
They stop when there's no more music in them.
Well, I still have music in me, absolutely positive about that.

of the silk chiffon antoinette dresses in pink.

Okay, Cameron was waiting for you but had another meeting.
He said he'll be back at 2:00.
- Everyone needs you to sign off on tomorrow's homepage. - Right.
And your 11:00 is in the big conference room.
So is your 11:10. Finance needs you,
and I guess you e-mailed a bunch of people
at 4:00 A.M. about something?
Oh, good, I forgot about that.
I want to figure out a way for friends to shop together online.
Make it less of an alone thing.
- E-mail me that idea, will you? - Yeah, I like that.
Um, is now a good time to call your Mom back?

if you want to see what looks like if you're, like, over 35.
Okay, so I can't read anything,
but if I could, what do you want me to see?
"Five girls, one shirt" or "check out the fit"?
Well, both, but what I really want you to see
is the shirt worn by five different body types.
Okay, then you got to make me see that.
Try making the photo grid bigger.
I love that five. Can we make it more graphic?
Yeah, that's cool.
Maybe hero the girl in the red shirt.
- Jules... - That is a great red.
It is going to fly out of here.
I needed you to sign off on this, like, two hours ago.
I know, I know, but can you try?

Employee: Let's go over the pitch for Friday.
Okay, so...
The Antoinette dress.
Major screw-up by the vendor.
There's gonna be a couple of interviews today, Ben.
We want to make sure that we both find the right fit.
Business as usual is not really our motto,
so we hope you have some fun here.
This is the first time we're hiring senior interns,
so some of our intern questions
may not exactly fit your profile,
but we're gonna go for it anyway, okay?
Fire away.
Okay, good.
Where'd you go to school?
I went to Northwestern.
Hey, my brother went to Northwestern.
Probably not at the same time.
Probably not. He graduated in 2009.
- Class of '65. - [ Chuckles ]
Wow, what was your major?
Do you remember?
And after Northwestern you went on to...?
I went to work for Dex one.
Okay, and they made...?
Phonebooks.
I was in charge of overseeing
the printing of the physical phonebook.
I did that for over 20 years, and before that,
I was their V.P. of sales and advertising.
So, do they still make phonebooks?
I mean, doesn't everyone just Google numbers?
I believe they do, but before Google that was how you got a number.
Oh, no, no. Yeah, I... I get it.
So 40 years at the phonebook company?
That is amazing, seriously.
Okay, Benjamin.
Now, I'm gonna ask you one of our more telling questions
for all of our interns, so I want you to, like,
this is the one to really think about, okay?
And... and take your time.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
When I'm 80?
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, whatever.
Um...
Wait. Did not realize you were 70.
That's, uh... that question just doesn't work for you, does it?
Should we just scratch that one and just move on?
- It's your call, Justin. - Okay, that one's gone.
You look great, by the way. So great.
And you're clearly more than qualified for this job.
You're actually, like, way overqualified,
and we were so impressed.
You had great interviews, great video.
You nailed it, Ben. Congrats.
You're an intern.
- Hey. - Hi.
I need you for two minutes, uninterrupted.
- Okay. - Remember a few weeks ago,
we talked about the senior intern program?
- No. - Really? We had a...
we had a whole, big conversation about it.
We did? Okay, remind me.
Seniors in high school or college?
No, no, no, no.
Seniors in life. Older people.
Hold on, what?
I told you I felt like we needed to do an outreach program.
You definitely seemed to be liking the idea,
so I set it in motion. It's gonna be great.
Hold, please.
You're hiring senior citizen interns?
There's been a ton of research on this,
and the results are actually incredible.
I mean, imagine having an intern with a lifetime of experience,
as opposed to somebody who spent
the last four years of their life playing beer pong.
Do they eventually want jobs here?
No, darling, they're all retired.
They... they just want the experience.
And I would like one to work directly with you.
Wait, Cameron, no.
First of all, I'm not great with older people.
You know how I am with my parents.
This could be...
Why do I have to have one?
Because you have to set the tone.
Now, would you prefer a man or a woman?
There's a great 72-year-old woman, really cute.
That's like the same age as my Mom.
- That's too weird. - That's fine.
There's a man everyone loves. He seems amazing.
I watched his video with the whole group.
People were crying.
Okay, this is not going to work, in my opinion.
But how long do I have to do this for?
- Minimum? - Six weeks or we'll be sued.
I know we never talked about this.
Yeah, we did. For real.

Jason: New interns, welcome to ATF.
We all work on this one floor, and that is because
we are all about communication and teamwork.
No one has a private office,
not even our Founder and CEO, Jules Ostin,
who is actually right over there.
She loves to ride her bike through the office.
That woman does not like to waste time.
Plus, she counts it as exercise.
That's adorable.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Hey. How you doing? I'm Davis.
Hi, Davis. Ben Whittaker.
- Exciting place, huh? - Oh, my God.
They had one opening for a regular-age intern, no offense.
I got it. I'm so psyched.
I'm pretty psyched myself.
All right, a few words about Jules.
She started about the fit only 18 months ago.
This whole idea was hatched at Jules' kitchen table
right here in Brooklyn.
Jules tried everything on that she sold,
described the fit herself,
and apparently it worked.
She was online in four months.
She started with 25 employees.
She's now up to 216.
With you 4, 220.
Wow.
Hey, Ben, are you gonna wear a suit every day?
- You bet. - Confident.

Just talk fast. She hates slow talkers.
Maybe that's just when I talk slow.
Don't dawdle in any way. Just keep it moving.
And don't forget to blink.
- Blink? - Yeah.
She hates when people don't blink. It weirds her out.

I'm Ben, your new intern.
I'm glad you also see the humor in this.
Be hard not to.
So, Ben...
I was gonna say what is a nice guy like you
doing at a place like this?
But Cameron gave me the drill,
so can I just be honest with you?
Please.
I'm not gonna have a lot for you to do.
That's the truth.
And you being assigned to me is kind of just
for me to set an example for the rest of the team.
If you ask me, I think that you'd be much better off
working in creative or marketing.
It's a little bit slower pace,
maybe a little bit easier to grasp.
If you requested to transfer, we can make that happen.
If that's what you'd prefer.
You'll be happier, believe me. I am not so fun to work for.
That's what I gather, but I can get along with anyone,

and feel better, okay?

I'm happy to cover for Mike.
That's okay. Becky can drive me.

I hope you don't mind if I don't get in the front.

all our research at the hospital.

who sleep less than six hours a night.
- And what'd you find out? - It's interesting.
It seems like they're 38% more likely
to experience major weight gain
compared to women who slept seven hours a night.
Are you kidding me?
You know I haven't slept in two years.
Well, I can't change the facts, dear.

He is. And the best thing about him
is he's been watching us, and he loves what we're doing.
But he's only one of the names on the list.

Uh, should I come back?
No, no, come on in. That was fast.
Well, I enlisted Becky's help.
It seems the most expensive place you're advertising
is actually bringing you the customers who are spending the least.
And the channels you're least investing in
are adding enormous value in segments that currently appear to have low value
but actually have the highest spending potential.
That's what I could tell so far.
Oh, Ben. Can you, like, deal with that for me?
Maybe come up with a better plan?

I accidentally sent an e-mail to the wrong person,
and she's at work right now.
And I know she doesn't check her personal e-mail
until she gets home at 5:30.
So I have until then to figure out how to delete it.
Because if this person sees this e-mail, it'll be horrible.
And on top of that, she has a minor heart condition.

to hack into a server.

It's still so hard for me to grasp.
I-I was in the kitchen making sandwiches,
and his phone was there.
He was upstairs with Paige,
and h-he was getting all these text messages.
And I don't know why, but I read them.
It was not good.
Does he know you know?
No.
'Cause, honestly, I'm... I'm not ready...
To deal with it.
I would like to be a little less devastated,
if that is possible.
It's classic, though, isn't it?
The successful wife.
The husband feels like his manhood is threatened,
so he acts out.
Girlfriend, I guess, makes him feel more like a man.
Sometimes I'm not sure I know how to do that.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
You're not actually taking the rap for any of this, are you?
No! No, no.
He is the one doing something wrong.
I get that.
Monogam-ish is not what I'm after.
I-I'm just... I'm taking a sec...
And I'm hoping that it's just a horrible lapse in judgment
and not, like, love.
And once he moves through this,
we will eventually be able to be okay again.
What do you think about that?
Clearly you don't think that's a possible thing.
- It... it would be unusual. - I get that.
I get not everybody could do that, but...
Everybody's not us.
I have faith in us because...
I believe he still loves me.
And, you know, we've been going through so much that...
God, I wish your expressions weren't so transparent.
Some couples do survive these things, you know.
I googled it... "staying together after the affair."
And a lot of couples, I mean, a lot stay together.
And anyway, there is something to be said
about moving through it
and focusing on us and not on the affair.
I don't want to give up on him.
I know him, and I know he knows better.
But I am only human,
and I am so mad at him.
You know, so much has happened to us so fast.
I think... [ Sighs ]
Part of me was even expecting this.
Like, you know, he was the more successful one
- when we started out. - No, I didn't know that.
Yeah, he was. He was a rising star.
And he bowed out so that I could do this.
He was amazing.
It was all his idea.
I'm sure that's why I'm even considering
this whole CEO thing,
thinking maybe someone else coming in
will help me get my life back on track.
Okay, that... that's it.
I hate to be the feminist here, between the two of us,
but you should be able to have a huge career and be who you are
without having to accept that your husband is having an affair
as some kind of payback.
Right on.
I mean it.
Me, too.
But such is life, my friend.
No, it isn't. Not always.
And I'm not so sure I'd be so forgiving.
I am not so forgiving.
I'm saying that I could potentially be forgiving.
But don't think that I don't feel what's going on here.
It's crushing.
And when I think of Paige...
Oh, don't.
Also, if we got divorced, he'd remarry.
Maybe not to this girl, but someone.
And we both know I'm not easy.
So I could be, like, single forever, which means that...
Forgive me, but this does
keep me up in the middle of the night.
Oh.
What?
That I don't want to be buried alone.
Paige'll be with her husband,
and Matt'll be with his new family,
and I will be buried with strangers.
I will buried in the strangers singles section of the cemetery.
Not that that is a reason to stay together.
But it's just, you know, a scary sidebar.
Let's take that one off your plate right now.
You can be buried with me and Molly.
I happen to have space, okay?
Oh.
Thank you so much. That is...
And to think I didn't even want to hire you.
The one time I don't have my hanky.

You want to...
Watch TV?
Just for a few minutes?
Yeah, sure, I would.

Airport, please.
So, did we like him?
He said all the right things.
He said that no one knows about the fit like me.
That he doesn't want to remove the soul of the company.
He said that he doesn't have a plan.
He wants to watch us and see what works.
He was polite and respectful and super smart.
And I hired him.
Seriously?
Yeah.
You did it right in the room?
He told me to sleep on it and that we'd talk tomorrow,
but I said the job was his.
We shook hands on it.
You know if, uh, we disagree, he's the tiebreaker?
Of course. He's the CEO.
Yeah. Duh.
[ Window motor whirring ]
Hi.
Hey!
You smell minty.
I just made mint tea.
So...
Yes? No?
I did it.
I liked him. A lot.
And, uh... I offered him the job.
Wow. Really?
Yeah.
And you're okay with it?
Yeah.
I think it'll be good for us.
[ Clears throat ]
Do we have any, like, real booze, like vodka or something?
Yeah.
Did "good for us" mean...
About the fit...
Or us?
You-and-me us.
I figure if someone else can call some of the shots at work,
then maybe...
We can get back to where we were 18 months ago.
They say you can't put the genie back in the bottle,
but we can try, right?

[ Car door closes ]
Hey!
Hi.
Wait, you live here?
Yeah, Ben's been putting me up until I can find a place.
Oh, should I let him know that you're here?
That's okay. I'll ring.
Okay.
[ Doorbell rings ]
Fiona?!
Jules!
Come on in.
I'm just on my way to work.
Ben's right in here.
I'll let you two talk.
- See you. - Mm-hmm.
Hi.
Wow.
You and Fiona, huh? Who knew.
She's a great gal.
She surprised me last night. She brought over dinner.
It's brand-new.
Congratulations. I love her.
Yeah.
[ Breathes deeply ]
So, I was ready kind of early this morning, since about 4:00,
and Matt and Paige left an hour ago for a field trip
so I thought I'd come by. I hope that's okay.
Yeah.
[ Clears throat ]
I just wanted to say...
I slept on it.
I haven't called Townsend yet, but...
I still feel like it's the right thing to do.
Well...
I didn't sleep so well myself.
Over this?
You remember the day I drove you to the warehouse?
You were giving me the wrong directions and all that?
Yeah. I remember.
Okay, well, I stood in the back,
and I watched you show the workers
how to fold and box the clothes.
I knew then that was why atf was a success.
No one else is ever gonna have
that kind of commitment to your company, Jules.
To me, it's pretty simple.
About the fit needs you, and if you don't mind me saying,
you need it.
Someone may come in with more experience than you,
but they're never gonna know what you know.
I never had anything like this in my life.
Not many people do.
This big, beautiful, exciting thing that you created.
It's a dream, isn't it?
And you're gonna give that up
in the hopes that your husband will stop having an affair?
I don't see how that adds up.
You should feel nothing but great about what you've done.
And I'd hate to see you let anyone take that away from you.
I guess you came over here
because you wanted to hear some of this.
Yes.
And maybe also because you're my...
Intern.
Well, I was gonna say intern/best friend.
But there's no need to get all sentimental about it
even though we could potentially be buried together.
Can't get closer than that.
[ Laughs ]
It's Moments like this when you need
someone you know you can count on.
So thank you.
I like your house so much by the way.
Thanks.
So?
Shall we?
Okay.
Welcome back, you two.
Jules, I have something cool to show you.
Do you remember taking a customer-service call
about a bride whose bridesmaids' dresses showed up in gray,
and we had the vendor remake them overnight
and put them on a plane?
Yeah. Yeah. Rachel.
Check this out.
[ Gasps ]
The silk Chiffon Antoinette dress.
They look beautiful.
Oh, and these just arrived from Mark Townsend.
- Here. - Thanks.
Becky? Give me Townsend's number, will you?
Becky: Okay.
[ Cellphone rings ]
This is Jules.
Hey, Alonzo, what's up?
Uh-huh. Okay.
Do we need that many?
Matt: I hope I'm not too late.
Don't do this for me, Jules.
Please?
Just do what feels right for you.
Oh, my God.
I want to continue running my company, Matt.
You got to know that.
Then do it. I don't want you to be unhappy.
I'm already unhappy.
I need to tell you something.
I know.
Just tell me, is it almost over?
I don't know how much longer I can...
it's over.
I can't tell you how s-sorry and ashamed I am.
I thought I could do it.
I thought I could be the guy that I told you
I was going to be.
And then somewhere along the way...
...I thought I was losing you.
But it was actually me.
I got lost.
It's a confusing world out there,
and who I am got messed up for a minute.
And now I'm watching you ready to give all this up for me.
I will not let that happen.
I love you, and I will do so much better if you'll let me.
♪♪
Please, Jules.
Let me make it right again.
You know what would be good?
If you carried a handkerchief.
Have you called Townsend yet?
Because if I've ever met anyone who doesn't need a Boss,
it was you.
I was just about to call him and tell him I changed my mind.
I mean, we're good here.
We're gonna make it.
I'm gonna make sure we make it.
Good.
