0:00:42 > 0:00:44# This land is my land

0:00:47 > 0:00:50# From California

0:00:50 > 0:00:55# To the New York Island

0:00:56 > 0:01:00# From the Redwood Forest

0:01:01 > 0:01:05# To the gulf stream waters

0:01:05 > 0:01:07# I tell ya

0:01:07 > 0:01:13# This land was made for you and me

0:01:16 > 0:01:19# As I went walking

0:01:19 > 0:01:23# Down that ribbon of a highway

0:01:25 > 0:01:29# I saw above me

0:01:29 > 0:01:33# All that endless skyway

0:01:33 > 0:01:38# Now I saw below me

0:01:38 > 0:01:43# That golden valley

0:01:43 > 0:01:50# And I said this land was made for you and me

0:01:52 > 0:01:55# This land is your land

0:01:58 > 0:02:02# This land is my land

0:02:35 > 0:02:37# Oh, it's my land... #

0:02:53 > 0:02:57This is what I get in return for 30 years of service for my company?

0:02:57 > 0:02:58They send some yo-yo like you

0:02:58 > 0:03:02in here to try to tell me that I'm out of a job?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04They should be telling you you're out of a job.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05You have a lot of gall,

0:03:05 > 0:03:08coming in here and firing your number one producer.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11You'll go home tomorrow and make more money than you've ever made

0:03:11 > 0:03:14and I'll go home without a pay cheque. Fuck you.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16I guess you leave me dumbfounded.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18I don't know where this is coming from.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21How am I supposed to go back as a man and explain this to my wife, that I lost my job?

0:03:21 > 0:03:24On a stress level,

0:03:24 > 0:03:28I've heard that losing your job is like a death in the family.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32But personally, I felt more like

0:03:32 > 0:03:37the people I worked with were my family, and I died.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39I can't afford to be unemployed.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41I have a house payment, I have children.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43I don't know how you can live with yourself,

0:03:43 > 0:03:47but I'm sure you'll find a way while the rest of us are suffering.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Who the fuck are you, man?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53'Excellent question. Who the fuck am I?

0:03:53 > 0:03:55'Poor Steve has worked here for seven years.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58'He's never had a meeting with me before,

0:03:58 > 0:03:59'or passed me in the hall.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01'Or told me a story in the break room.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03'That's because I don't work here.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07'I work for a company that lends me out to pussies like Steve's boss,

0:04:07 > 0:04:09'who don't have the balls to sack their own employees.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11'And in some cases, for good reason,

0:04:11 > 0:04:14'because people do crazy shit when they get fired.'

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Did I do something wrong?

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Is there something I can do differently here?

0:04:23 > 0:04:25It's not an assessment of your productivity.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Try not to take this personally.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30- ("Don't take it personally.") - Stephen.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33I want you to review this packet, take it seriously,

0:04:33 > 0:04:36I think you're going to find a lot of good answers in here.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39I'm sure this is gonna be very helpful, a packet(!)

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Thank you, a packet.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Anybody who ever built an empire or changed the world

0:04:48 > 0:04:49sat where you are right now.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52It's because they sat there that they were able to do it.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54That's the truth.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59(Yeah).

0:05:00 > 0:05:02I'm gonna need your key card.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06Great. OK.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Now, take the day, go get together your personal things,

0:05:10 > 0:05:14then tomorrow, get yourself some exercise, go out for a jog,

0:05:14 > 0:05:18give yourself some routines and pretty soon you'll find your legs.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20How do I get in touch with you?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Don't worry, we'll be in touch with you soon.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24This is just the beginning.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27'I'll never see Steve again.'

0:05:46 > 0:05:48'To know me is to fly with me.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50'This is where I live.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56'When I run my card, the system prompts the desk clerk

0:05:56 > 0:05:58'to greet me with this exact statement.'

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Pleasure to see you again, Mr Bingham.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04'It's these systemised friendly touches that keep my world in orbit.'

0:06:39 > 0:06:42'All the things you probably hate about travelling, the recycled air,

0:06:42 > 0:06:47'the artificial lighting, digital juice dispensers, cheap sushi,

0:06:47 > 0:06:48'are warm reminders that I'm home.'

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Do you want the cancer?

0:07:05 > 0:07:06The what?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Do you want the cancer?

0:07:08 > 0:07:09The cancer?

0:07:10 > 0:07:12The can, sir?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Oh. No, I'm fine, thank you.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38How much does your life weigh?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel them?

0:07:48 > 0:07:52I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53Start with the little things.

0:07:53 > 0:07:58Things on shelves and in drawers, the knick-knacks, collectibles.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Feel the weight as that adds up.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Start adding larger stuff.

0:08:02 > 0:08:09Clothes, table-top appliances, lamps, linens, your TV.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Backpack should be getting pretty heavy now, and you go bigger.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Your couch, bed, kitchen table.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18You stuff it all in there. Your car, get it in there.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Your home.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Whether it's a studio apartment or a two-bedroom house,

0:08:23 > 0:08:26I want you to stuff it all into that backpack.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Now try to walk.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30AUDIENCE CHUCKLE

0:08:30 > 0:08:33It's kind of hard, isn't it?

0:08:33 > 0:08:36This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38We weigh ourselves down until we can't even move

0:08:38 > 0:08:42and make no mistake, moving is living.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Now, I'm gonna set that backpack on fire.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46What do you want to take out of it?

0:08:46 > 0:08:50Photos? Photos are for people who can't remember.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Drink some Ginkgo and let the photos burn.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54In fact, let everything burn

0:08:54 > 0:09:00and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's kind of exhilarating, isn't it?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Welcome back, Mr Bingham.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20PHONE RINGS

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Ryan Bingham's office.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24You put me in a Dodge Stratus in Kansas City?

0:09:24 > 0:09:26They were out of all full-size Sedans.

0:09:26 > 0:09:27- Did you try - - Yes, I reminded them

0:09:27 > 0:09:30of your remarkable Gold Club status and years in the programme.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33They're moving mountains to get you a Sebring.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Fair enough. Any other messages? - 'Your sister Kara called.'

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Needs to speak urgently about your sister's wedding,

0:09:40 > 0:09:42I told her you were mid-air, and I didn't know your destination.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Well done.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46And you got an invitation to speak at Goalquest in Vegas.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49Goalquest 20?

0:09:49 > 0:09:53'Every once in a while, I do speaking engagements, motivational stuff.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56'But Goalquest, we're talking major Tony Robbins shit.'

0:09:56 > 0:09:57It's got a hologram on it.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00They're calling it Dos Equis.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02All right, I'll check in.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03I've got Craig Gregory for you.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Wait - (Fuck).

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- How is my little road warrior? - 'Hey.'

0:10:09 > 0:10:1220 minutes from boarding into a world of bliss.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Good numbers outta Phoenix, wry guy.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17You know Big Auto's cutting another 10k by the end of the month?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- No kidding?- Christmas came early.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23I wish I could have you in five places, but I need you in Omaha by the end of the week.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24I thought you needed me everywhere?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27We got something real big here, a real game changer.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- What are we talking about here? - 'You'll see.'

0:10:29 > 0:10:34Today I took my first crap in two weeks, hallelujah.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35That's me hanging up on you.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Great. Love that sound.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Are you satisfied with Maestro?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Yeah, I am.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06A little stingy with their miles. I like Hertz.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Hertz keeps its vehicles too long.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11If a car has over 20,000 miles, I won't drive it.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Maestro doesn't instant check-out. I like to park and go.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Hertz doesn't guarantee navigation.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19You don't seem like you need directions.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23I hate asking for directions, that's why I get a nav.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27That new outfit, Colonial, isn't bad.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Is that a joke? - Yes.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Their kiosk placement blows. - Never have available upgrades.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38It's a fleet of shitboxes, I don't know how they're still in business.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- I'm Ryan. - I'm Alex.

0:11:44 > 0:11:49Oh, Maplewood card. How dare you bring that into this palace?

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Hilton offers equal value and better food, but the Maplewood

0:11:52 > 0:11:54- gives out cookies at check-in. - They got you with the cookies.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56I'm a sucker for simulated hospitality.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58There's an industry term for that,

0:11:58 > 0:12:01it's a mixture of "faux" and "homey", "faumey."

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Oh, my God. I wasn't sure these actually existed.

0:12:07 > 0:12:08This is the American Airlines -

0:12:08 > 0:12:11It's a Concierge Key, yeah.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- What is that? Carbon-fibre? - Graphite.

0:12:17 > 0:12:18Oh, God. I love the weight.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22- I was pretty excited when that bad boy came in. - Yeah, I'll say.

0:12:22 > 0:12:27I put up pretty pedestrian numbers. 60 thou a year domestic.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30- That's not bad. - Don't patronise me.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31What's your total?

0:12:31 > 0:12:33That's a personal question. We hardly know each other.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Show some hubris. Come on, impress me.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- I'd bet it's huge. - You have no idea.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44Oh, how big? What is it, this big?

0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Er...- This big? - I don't want to brag.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Oh, come on. Come on.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Let's just say I have a number in mind.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52I haven't hit it yet.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57This is pretty fucking sexy.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Hope it doesn't cheapen our relationship.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02We're two people who get turned on by elite status,

0:13:02 > 0:13:04I think cheap is our starting point.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08There's nothing cheap about loyalty.

0:13:11 > 0:13:17So we came up with this master plan which was for me to put gauze,

0:13:17 > 0:13:19to put bandages on both my hands.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23Then we got onto the plane, transatlantic.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Flying to erm, er, Zurich.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Walked up, waited until it was dark

0:13:27 > 0:13:29and walked up to the, er, bathroom with her.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32They're watching the movie and I was like...

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Opened up, went inside,

0:13:34 > 0:13:37she opened the door for me and came in like she was gonna help me

0:13:37 > 0:13:40and then, you know, we gave it our best shot. It wasn't great,

0:13:40 > 0:13:43- but it was fun, it was tricky - - Give me some details!

0:13:43 > 0:13:45It's not so easy, have you ever tried it?

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Yes, I have.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Really? - Really.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56(CHUCKLES) You've done that?

0:13:56 > 0:13:57I have done that.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59On a transatlantic flight?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02On a domestic flight. Regional, actually.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04- At night time? - No, daytime.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06- You - - What?

0:14:06 > 0:14:07How do you do that?

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Oh, I'm really flexible.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18DOOR STAYS LOCKED

0:14:20 > 0:14:23I should throw these out.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25BOTH GIGGLE

0:14:26 > 0:14:29We can always use that room with the ice machine.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Uh-huh. Here, look.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36BOTH LAUGH

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Good call on that towel rack.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50I like how you burritoed me in the sofa cushions.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52I was improvising.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Shame we didn't make it to the closet.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Mmm... we gotta do this again.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Oh, yeah.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07All right, I'm in Newark on the 12th, Modesto on the 13th,

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Oklahoma City on the 15th.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13Any South West? I'll be swinging by Albuquerque week of the 16th.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15- No, but I'm in Florida on the 20th. - Fort Lauderdale?

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Miami.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18- That's nothing. - 40 minutes.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32I should probably go back to my room so I can wake up in my bed.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34I think that would be the ladylike thing to do.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Nice meeting you.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Pleasure.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15MOBILE RINGS

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Hello?

0:16:20 > 0:16:21'Hey, Ryan. How are you holding up?'

0:16:21 > 0:16:25'Every family has the one person who keeps the genealogy in check.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27'That's my sister Kara, the glue.'

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Fine. You and the kids?

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Er, Missy's outstanding, Matthew made varsity. How's the road?

0:16:33 > 0:16:38- Couldn't be better. - 'Good. So, Ryan..?'- Yeah?

0:16:38 > 0:16:41I didn't want to have to ask you this because I know how you are

0:16:41 > 0:16:43about doing things for others.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45But there's three weeks to go to Julie's wedding

0:16:45 > 0:16:47and we could use your help.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Yeah?

0:16:49 > 0:16:50'We're sending people kits'

0:16:50 > 0:16:53so they can print out photos of Julie and Jim on card

0:16:53 > 0:16:55and take photos of them in interesting places,

0:16:55 > 0:16:57like the gnome in the French movie.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58Why?

0:16:58 > 0:17:02It's Julie's wedding and she thinks it would be fun. Does it matter why?

0:17:02 > 0:17:03How is Julie?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05'Call her. She thinks you've turned to butter.'

0:17:05 > 0:17:07You're isolated the way you live.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Isolated? I'm surrounded.

0:17:09 > 0:17:13- 'So, your assistant said you were gonna be in Vegas.'- Did he?

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Can you get a photo of the cut-out in front of the Luxor pyramid?

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Place is a shithole, nobody stays there.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Jesus, Ryan, I'm not asking you to check in,

0:17:21 > 0:17:23can you just take a stupid photo?

0:17:23 > 0:17:26(SIGHS) I'll try my best.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28'Thank you for trying your best.'

0:17:46 > 0:17:50'Last year, I spent 322 days on the road.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54'Which means I had to spend 43 miserable days at home.'

0:18:15 > 0:18:17- (KNOCKS ON COUNTER) - Hey, neighbour.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Hey. Hi. - Hi.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23I signed for this while you were gone.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Oh, thanks.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Hope it wasn't too much of a bother. - Nah.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Wow.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37That's my sister. I haven't met the guy yet. They're getting married.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Lots of luck. - I know, right?

0:18:40 > 0:18:43What are you doing tonight? You wanna come over later?

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Erm... I've started seeing somebody.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Oh, OK. Great.

0:18:52 > 0:18:53Hey, it's good to see you.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55You too.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Seems like it's been a while this time.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13OK.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18I am thrilled that everyone's back under one roof. Welcome home, boys.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21There's been a lot of whispering about why we're here,

0:19:21 > 0:19:25so let me jump right in. Retailers are down 20%.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Auto industry is in the dump,

0:19:27 > 0:19:30housing market doesn't have a heartbeat.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34It is one of the worst times on record for America.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36This is our moment.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38QUIET LAUGHTER

0:19:38 > 0:19:43Last summer, we received a dynamite young woman here from Cornell

0:19:43 > 0:19:46and she had some pretty big ideas that she challenged me with,

0:19:46 > 0:19:49and my first reaction was, "Who does she think she is?"

0:19:49 > 0:19:51but after I gave it a listen, she knocked me out.

0:19:51 > 0:19:56So, with a peek into our future, Natalie Keener.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01If there's one word I want to leave you with today, it's this.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03(ALL MUTTER "GLOCAL")

0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Glocal? - Glocal.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11Our global must become local.

0:20:11 > 0:20:16This company keeps 23 people on the road at least 250 days a year.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19It's expensive and it's inefficient.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22When I came to Craig three months ago with this,

0:20:22 > 0:20:24he told me, and quite astutely,

0:20:24 > 0:20:27"It's only a problem if you have a solution."

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Well, today I stand before you with just that.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33You all know Ned in reception.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Today, I'm gonna fire Ned.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40Sorry, Ned. I'm sure HR will hire you back this afternoon.

0:20:40 > 0:20:41We'll see about that.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42ALL CHUCKLE

0:20:42 > 0:20:46Now, Ned could be any employee in any client's location worldwide.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Strategy packets would be shipped in advance. Ned would be given a seat

0:20:49 > 0:20:53and find one of our transition specialists waiting for him.

0:20:53 > 0:20:58Mr Laskin, the reason we're having this conversation is that your position is no longer available.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00I don't understand. I'm fired?

0:21:00 > 0:21:03Hearing the words "You've been let go," isn't easy.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Change is scary, but consider the following.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Anybody who built an empire or changed the world sat where you are now

0:21:08 > 0:21:11and it's because they sat there that they were able to do it.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13(That's my fucking line.)

0:21:13 > 0:21:15What happens now?

0:21:15 > 0:21:16This is the first step of a process

0:21:16 > 0:21:19that ends with you in a new job that fulfils you.

0:21:19 > 0:21:20But how does it work?

0:21:20 > 0:21:22I want you to take the packet in front of you.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Review it. All the answers you're looking for are inside.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Fill out the necessary information and before you know it,

0:21:27 > 0:21:29you'll be on your way to new opportunities.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Ned, I need you to go back to your desk

0:21:31 > 0:21:34and start putting together your things. As a favour to me,

0:21:34 > 0:21:37I'd appreciate it if you didn't spread the news just yet.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Panic doesn't help anyone.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41I understand.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Give it up for Ned.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46APPLAUSE

0:21:48 > 0:21:51You can start the morning in Boston, stop in Dallas over lunch

0:21:51 > 0:21:55and finish the day in San Francisco, all for the price of a T1 line.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59Our inflated travel budget is eviscerated by 85%.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02And, more importantly, to you guys on the road,

0:22:02 > 0:22:04no more Christmases in a hotel in Tulsa,

0:22:04 > 0:22:06no more hours lost to weather delays.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09You get to come home.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Tell me you're not taking this seriously.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16That's why we brought the entire company in,

0:22:16 > 0:22:19- because we're not taking this seriously.- There's a methodology to what I do.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21There's a reason why it works.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Coke and IBM have been doing this for years. Familiar with them?

0:22:24 > 0:22:27Just like anything, it's gonna take a few months of transition

0:22:27 > 0:22:28and everybody will settle in.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Who are you taking off the road? - How are you not getting this?

0:22:31 > 0:22:35You're grounded, everybody's grounded. It's done.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38What we do here is brutal and it does leave people devastated,

0:22:38 > 0:22:41but there is a dignity to the way I do it.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Stabbing them in the chest instead of the back?

0:22:44 > 0:22:45- You wanted to see me? - Well, erm...

0:22:45 > 0:22:49- You know what, yeah, come on in. Come on in here.- Great job.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53- Thank you. How is everyone taking it?- Great.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Listen, I admire your, er...

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Your zeal, and I think you have some good ideas, but you know nothing

0:22:59 > 0:23:01about the realities of my industry.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05You can set up an iChat, but you don't know how people think.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Actually, I minored in psychology. - Nice.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12- OK, kiddo. Fire me. - Ryan -

0:23:12 > 0:23:15She'll be doing this regularly. You want to know if she can?

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- She's fired Ned. - My dog could fire Ned. Fire me.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22- You don't need to do this. - No, it's OK. I got this.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Mr Bingham,

0:23:24 > 0:23:25I regret to inform you

0:23:25 > 0:23:28that your position at this company is no longer available.

0:23:28 > 0:23:29Who the hell are you?

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- I'm Miss Keener, I'm here to discuss your future.- My future?

0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Only Craig Gregory can fire me. - Mr Gregory hired me to handle this.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37Handle what? Handle me?

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Mr Gregory hired me, he's the only one who can fire me.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42You know what, I'm gonna go talk to him.

0:23:42 > 0:23:43Mr Bingham...

0:23:43 > 0:23:46No, you can't follow me. You're on a computer screen, remember?

0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Ryan - - Let's try this again. Fire me again.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50- I just did. - You didn't.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Fire me. - That's enough, I think we get it.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55I'm here today to inform you your position is no longer available.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57I'm fired?

0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Yes, you're fired. - Never say fired.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01- You've been let go. - Why?

0:24:01 > 0:24:04This is a mythical situation. How could I possibly know?

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Why doesn't matter, you never know why.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10Don't focus on why, spend your energy thinking about the future.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12I'll spend my energy on suing you

0:24:12 > 0:24:15unless you give me a good reason why you're firing me.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16The reason's not important.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19You're firing me without grounds? Now I have a lawsuit.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20I get what you're trying to say.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Don't take this personally. - Personally?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26This is the most personal situation that you are ever gonna enter

0:24:26 > 0:24:29so before you try to revolutionise my business,

0:24:29 > 0:24:32I'd like to know that you actually know my business.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Hell of a way to welcome her to the team.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Am I the only one that sees that by doing this

0:24:47 > 0:24:49we're making ourselves irrelevant?

0:24:49 > 0:24:51No. We're making you irrelevant.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52Nice.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Don't blame me, blame high fuel costs,

0:24:54 > 0:24:56insurance premiums, technology.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59Watch yourself, you're too young to become a dinosaur.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01I'm not a dinosaur.

0:25:01 > 0:25:02I want you to show her the ropes.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06What do I know what goes on here? Get Ferguson to do it.

0:25:06 > 0:25:12- Not talking about here. - No.- Yeah.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15You're confident that this girl doesn't know what she's doing -

0:25:15 > 0:25:17I don't think a MySpace page qualifies you

0:25:17 > 0:25:19to rewire an entire company.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Then great, here's your chance. Go out there, show her the magic.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24I'm not a fucking tour guide.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Oh, here we go.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Bingham, here's the boat and here's you.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Do you want to be in the boat?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Yeah, alone.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40We're rounding everybody up.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43You want to stay out longer, you're welcome,

0:25:43 > 0:25:44but you will not be alone, OK?

0:25:44 > 0:25:45You let me know.

0:26:01 > 0:26:02Oh, Christ.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37< WHEELS GRIND ALONG FLOOR

0:26:49 > 0:26:50HE SIGHS

0:26:50 > 0:26:52What?

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Follow me.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00- I like my luggage. - That's exactly what it is, luggage.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Know how much time you lose checking in?

0:27:02 > 0:27:05I don't know, 5-10 minutes.

0:27:05 > 0:27:0935 minutes a flight. I travel 270 days a year.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12That's 157 hours. That makes seven days.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Willing to throw away an entire week on that?

0:27:23 > 0:27:27You don't need this. Sorry, you don't need that.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30You're not gonna need that. They have neck pillows on the plane.

0:27:30 > 0:27:34They have better ones there. I'll get rid of this.

0:27:36 > 0:27:37I can just meet you at security.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Thank you.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Bingo. Asians.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47You can't be serious.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Never get behind people with infants.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52I've never seen a stroller collapse in less than 20 minutes. Old people are worse.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Their bodies are littered

0:27:54 > 0:27:56with hidden metal and they never seem to appreciate

0:27:56 > 0:27:58how little time they have left on Earth.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02Five words - "Randomly selected for additional screening."

0:28:02 > 0:28:03Asians.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05They pack light, travel efficiently

0:28:05 > 0:28:08and they got a thing for slip-on shoes, God love them.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10That's racist.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12I'm like my mother, I stereotype. It's faster.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33< NATALIE TYPES LOUDLY

0:28:40 > 0:28:41Are you mad at your computer?

0:28:43 > 0:28:45I type with purpose.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48What is it that you're working on so furiously?

0:28:49 > 0:28:52I'm building a workflow of firing techniques.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55Questions and responses, actions and reactions, a script

0:28:55 > 0:28:58taking you through the steps of firing someone.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Who's it for?

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Theoretically, you could put it in the hands of anyone

0:29:02 > 0:29:05and they'd be downsizing immediately.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07All you have to do is follow the steps.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10Natalie, what is it you think we do here?

0:29:10 > 0:29:13We prepare the newly unemployed for the hurdles of job hunting,

0:29:13 > 0:29:15while minimising legal blow-back.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18That's what we're selling, it's not what we're doing.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20OK, what are we doing?

0:29:20 > 0:29:23We are here to make limbo tolerable.

0:29:23 > 0:29:27To ferry wounded souls across the river of dread

0:29:27 > 0:29:30until the point where hope is dimly visible.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35Then stop the boat, shove them in the water and make them swim.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39That was really impressive. You gonna put that in your book?

0:29:39 > 0:29:41SHE CONTINUES TYPING

0:29:48 > 0:29:51MOBILE RINGS

0:29:51 > 0:29:54- I've got to grab this. I'll meet you at car rental.- OK.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Hey, I was hoping I'd hear from you.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59I'm in Hotlanta, I need a rib joint recommend bad.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Fat Matt's. Bring a bib.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03You never called.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05I wasn't sure what was appropriate.

0:30:05 > 0:30:09Appropriate? Ryan, I'm not some waitress you banged in a snowstorm.

0:30:09 > 0:30:12That word has no place in our vocabulary.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15I'm the woman that you don't have to worry about.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18Sounds like a trap.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22Listen, the next time that you're worried about manners, don't.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24If you want to call, call.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27Just think of me as yourself, only with a vagina.

0:30:28 > 0:30:29When am I gonna see you?

0:30:29 > 0:30:33Well, I'm out of Hartsfield into IAD,

0:30:33 > 0:30:37with a connection at ORD into SDF.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39- 'Sorry.' - Yeah, tell me about it.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42How long is your layover? They got multiples into SDF.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45Think you could push?

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Yeah, I can push.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03All you have to do today is watch and listen

0:31:03 > 0:31:07and when I talk about a strategy packet, hand them one of those.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08Sounds great.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11So although I wish I were here with better news,

0:31:11 > 0:31:16the fact is that you and I are sitting here today

0:31:16 > 0:31:19because this will be your last week of employment at this company.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21- Why me? - What am I supposed to do now?

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Am I supposed to feel better that I'm not the only one?

0:31:24 > 0:31:28This is ridiculous. I have been a fine employee for over ten years

0:31:28 > 0:31:30and this is the way you treat me?

0:31:30 > 0:31:34How do you sleep at night, man? Huh?

0:31:34 > 0:31:36How's your family? They sleeping well at night?

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Electricity still on?

0:31:38 > 0:31:41Heat still on? Refrigerator full of food?

0:31:41 > 0:31:44Gas tank full of gas?

0:31:44 > 0:31:49Going Chuck E Cheese this weekend or something? Not me.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51My kids, we're not gonna do anything.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59What do you suggest I tell them?

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Perhaps you're underestimating the positive effect

0:32:06 > 0:32:08that your career transition can have on your children.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11The positive effect?

0:32:11 > 0:32:14I make about 90 grand a year now.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17Unemployment is what, 250 bucks a week?

0:32:17 > 0:32:19Is that one of your positive effects?

0:32:19 > 0:32:22Well, we'll be cosier, because I'm not going to be able to pay

0:32:22 > 0:32:25my mortgage on my house, so maybe we can move

0:32:25 > 0:32:28into a nice fucking one-bedroom apartment somewhere.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31And I guess without benefits, I'll be able to hold my daughter

0:32:31 > 0:32:34as she suffers from her asthma

0:32:34 > 0:32:37that I won't be able to afford the medication for.

0:32:37 > 0:32:41Well, tests have shown that children under moderate trauma

0:32:41 > 0:32:44have a tendency to apply themselves academically.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47As a method of coping.

0:32:48 > 0:32:49Go fuck yourself.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53That's what my kids will think.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56Your children's admiration is important to you?

0:32:56 > 0:33:00Yeah. Yeah, it was.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02I doubt they ever admired you, Bob.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Hey, asshole, aren't you supposed be consoling me?

0:33:06 > 0:33:09I'm not a shrink, Bob, I'm a wake-up call.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11You know why kids love athletes?

0:33:11 > 0:33:13I don't know, cos they screw lingerie models.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15No, that's why we love athletes.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18Kids love athletes because they follow their dreams.

0:33:21 > 0:33:22Well, I can't dunk.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24No, but you can cook.

0:33:24 > 0:33:25What are you talking about?

0:33:25 > 0:33:30Your resume says that you minored in French culinary arts.

0:33:30 > 0:33:33Most students work on the fryer at KFC,

0:33:33 > 0:33:36but you bussed tables at El Picador to support yourself.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39And then you get out of college, and you come and work here.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42How much did they first pay you to give up on your dreams?

0:33:42 > 0:33:4527 grand a year.

0:33:45 > 0:33:49When were you gonna stop and come back and do what makes you happy?

0:33:52 > 0:33:53Good question.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57I see guys who work at the same company for their entire lives,

0:33:57 > 0:33:58guys exactly like you.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00They clock in, they clock out,

0:34:00 > 0:34:03and they never have a moment of happiness.

0:34:04 > 0:34:08You have an opportunity here, Bob.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10This is a rebirth.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13If not for you, do it for your children.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44He just waltzes in and cuts in line?

0:34:44 > 0:34:48We reserve priority assistance for our Hilton Honours members.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Promotions are great. Check it out.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Hungry much?

0:34:58 > 0:35:01Our business expense allows 40 each for dinner.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04I plan on grabbing as many miles as I can.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08OK. You gotta fill me in on the miles thing, what is that about?

0:35:08 > 0:35:11Are you talking about frequent flyer miles?

0:35:11 > 0:35:12You really want to know?

0:35:12 > 0:35:14I'm dying to know.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17I don't spend a nickel if I can help it,

0:35:17 > 0:35:19unless it profits my mileage account.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22So what are you saving up for, Hawaii, south of France?

0:35:22 > 0:35:24It's not like that.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26The miles are the goal.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29That's it? You're saving just to save?

0:35:29 > 0:35:32Let's just say I have a number in mind, and I haven't hit it yet.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34That's a little abstract. What's the target?

0:35:35 > 0:35:37I'd rather not.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39Is it a secret target?

0:35:40 > 0:35:42It's ten million miles.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45OK. Isn't ten million just a number?

0:35:45 > 0:35:47- Pi's just a number. - Well, we all need a hobby.

0:35:49 > 0:35:53No, I don't mean to belittle your collection, I get it.

0:35:53 > 0:35:54It sounds cool.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57I'd be the seventh person to do it. More people have walked on the moon.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59Do they throw you a parade?

0:35:59 > 0:36:01You get lifetime executive status,

0:36:01 > 0:36:03you get to meet the chief pilot, Maynard Finch -

0:36:03 > 0:36:06- Wow. - And they put your name on a plane.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08Men get such hard-ons from putting their name on stuff.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10You need to pee on everything.

0:36:10 > 0:36:11Now who's stereotyping?

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Fear of mortality. It's like,

0:36:13 > 0:36:15yeah, you're gonna die one day.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Why is that singular to men?

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Probably cos you can't have babies.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21The baby argument.

0:36:25 > 0:36:29If I had that many miles, I would show up at an airport,

0:36:29 > 0:36:32look at the destination board, pick a place and go.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50MOBILE VIBRATES

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Thanks for the advice.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29(Jesus.)

0:37:49 > 0:37:51OK. Closer.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53Way closer.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57Still closer.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Closer. OK.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02A little left.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04Down a little.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06Too far. Up. Up. One more inch.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10Why does your sister want a fake photo?

0:38:10 > 0:38:13My sister is kooky. She thinks this is charming.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15It's like the gnome thing.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Why would she want one in front of St Louis airport?

0:38:18 > 0:38:21Are you kidding, Lambert Field? Wright brothers flew through there.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25That domed main terminal was the first of its kind.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27It's a precursor from everything from JFK to de Gaulle.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29That's pretty sweet.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31Just take the picture.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36Wow, that's a keeper.

0:38:36 > 0:38:37Let me see it.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Why she wants reminders of all the places

0:38:41 > 0:38:42she hasn't been is beyond me...

0:38:42 > 0:38:45I'm sure she'll be crushed for having missed this airport(!)

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Before Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic,

0:38:47 > 0:38:49he took off from that runway.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51Wonder why they call it the Spirit of St Louis?

0:38:51 > 0:38:54- No. - Well -

0:39:00 > 0:39:04Do you know how fucked this place is without me?

0:39:04 > 0:39:05I am the one thing - the one thing -

0:39:05 > 0:39:08preventing this place from being fucked in the ass!

0:39:15 > 0:39:17Sometimes they just need to vent.

0:39:20 > 0:39:24Please, for the love of God, can I fire the next one?

0:39:24 > 0:39:26Miss Barnes, thank you for joining us.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29I'm here to be fired, right?

0:39:29 > 0:39:31Well, we're here to talk about your future.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34You don't have to sugar-coat it. I get the drill.

0:39:34 > 0:39:35What are they offering?

0:39:35 > 0:39:38Inside the packet, you'll find a clearly worked-out severance package.

0:39:38 > 0:39:41Give me the bullet points.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43It's actually pretty good.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45Three months' pay, six months' medical

0:39:45 > 0:39:47and a year of placement services through CTC.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50Placement services? That's generous.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55Commonly, it takes one month of searching

0:39:55 > 0:39:57for every 10,000 you expect to earn.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59So I could be looking for a while.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01Not necessarily.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03Don't sweat it. I'm pretty confident about my plans.

0:40:03 > 0:40:07- Really? - Yeah.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09There's this beautiful bridge by my house.

0:40:09 > 0:40:13I'm gonna go jump off it.

0:40:14 > 0:40:15Natalie.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17Hey.

0:40:17 > 0:40:18Natalie!

0:40:27 > 0:40:31People say these things all the time. It's part of the trade.

0:40:31 > 0:40:36- They do? - Yeah, they say crazy things.

0:40:36 > 0:40:37They get worked up.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39She was really calm.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42I think that's a good sign.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44So they don't ever actually do it?

0:40:44 > 0:40:46No. No, it's just talk.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49How do you know, do you follow up?

0:40:49 > 0:40:51I mean, no. Nothing good's gonna come of that, but...

0:40:53 > 0:40:55I wouldn't worry about it.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59This is what we do, Natalie.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02We take people at their most fragile and we set them adrift.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08Are you ready to go back in?

0:41:09 > 0:41:12All right, let's go, come on.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16MUSIC: "Goin' Home" by Dan Auerbach

0:41:41 > 0:41:48# I've spent too long away from home

0:41:48 > 0:41:54# Did all the things I could have done... #

0:41:54 > 0:41:58No, I'm fine. Tell me something sweet.

0:41:58 > 0:42:02I'll be back soon. Not sure how long this exercise is supposed to last.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05No, I don't think of him that way. He's old.

0:42:05 > 0:42:10# ..I'm not the only one

0:42:12 > 0:42:15# So long

0:42:15 > 0:42:21# I'm goin', goin' home

0:42:26 > 0:42:29# I saw the streets

0:42:29 > 0:42:32# All ripe with jewels

0:42:32 > 0:42:34# Balconies

0:42:34 > 0:42:39# And the laundry lines... #

0:42:44 > 0:42:49- II-I'm done? - I wasn't expecting this. Not at all. - Just like that?

0:42:49 > 0:42:52I'm disappointed that I've given so much of my life -

0:42:52 > 0:42:54This is not fair.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56There are people more qualified than me now.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58I don't know what to do when I wake up tomorrow.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01(SIGHS)

0:43:06 > 0:43:07Are you OK?

0:43:09 > 0:43:11- Are we going? - Yeah.

0:43:23 > 0:43:27# So long

0:43:27 > 0:43:29# I'm goin'... #

0:43:29 > 0:43:31This is how I start every day of my life.

0:43:34 > 0:43:37This is going to be a little difficult, so stay with me.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39You have a new backpack.

0:43:39 > 0:43:42Only this time, I want you to fill it with people.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends,

0:43:45 > 0:43:48folks around the office

0:43:48 > 0:43:51and then the people you trust with your most intimate secrets.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53Your cousins, your aunts, your uncles,

0:43:53 > 0:43:56your brothers, your sisters, your parents.

0:43:56 > 0:44:02Finally, your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend.

0:44:03 > 0:44:05You get them into that backpack.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10Don't worry, I'm not gonna ask you to light it on fire.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12AUDIENCE CHUCKLE

0:44:12 > 0:44:16Feel the weight of that bag. Make no mistake,

0:44:16 > 0:44:21your relationships are the heaviest components in your life.

0:44:21 > 0:44:25Feel the straps cutting into your shoulders?

0:44:25 > 0:44:32All those negotiations and arguments and secrets and compromises.

0:44:34 > 0:44:37You don't need to carry all that weight.

0:44:37 > 0:44:39You should set that bag down.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44Some animals are meant to carry each other,

0:44:44 > 0:44:47to live symbiotically for a lifetime.

0:44:47 > 0:44:49Star-crossed lovers, monogamous swans.

0:44:49 > 0:44:54We are not those animals.

0:44:54 > 0:44:57The slower we move, the faster we die.

0:44:57 > 0:45:00We are not swans.

0:45:00 > 0:45:02We're sharks.

0:45:14 > 0:45:17- Never? - No.

0:45:17 > 0:45:18- Ever? - No.

0:45:18 > 0:45:21- You never want to get married? - No.

0:45:21 > 0:45:22Never want kids?

0:45:22 > 0:45:23Not a chance.

0:45:23 > 0:45:27- Ever? - Never. Is that so bizarre?

0:45:27 > 0:45:30Yes. Yes, it is.

0:45:30 > 0:45:32I just don't see the value in it.

0:45:34 > 0:45:35All right, sell it to me.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38- What? - Sell me marriage.

0:45:38 > 0:45:41OK, how about love?

0:45:41 > 0:45:43(SCOFFS) OK.

0:45:43 > 0:45:46Stability? Somebody you can count on?

0:45:46 > 0:45:48How many stable marriages do you know?

0:45:48 > 0:45:51Somebody to talk to? Someone to spend your life with?

0:45:51 > 0:45:55I'm surrounded by people to talk to, I doubt that's gonna change.

0:45:55 > 0:45:58How about just not dying alone?

0:45:58 > 0:45:59Starting when I was 12,

0:45:59 > 0:46:02we moved each one of my grandparents into a nursing facility.

0:46:02 > 0:46:04My parents went the same way.

0:46:04 > 0:46:07Make no mistake, we all die alone.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10Now, those cult members in San Diego,

0:46:10 > 0:46:13with the Kool-Aid and the sneakers, they didn't die alone.

0:46:14 > 0:46:16I'm just saying, there are options.

0:46:19 > 0:46:20Oh, fuck.

0:46:22 > 0:46:23Brian left me.

0:46:23 > 0:46:26SHE WAILS

0:46:31 > 0:46:32It's all right.

0:46:34 > 0:46:37OK. OK. All right.

0:46:39 > 0:46:40Shh.

0:46:42 > 0:46:43Yeah...

0:46:48 > 0:46:50Hey.

0:46:53 > 0:46:57Natalie, this is Alex, my friend. This is Natalie.

0:46:58 > 0:47:00I should give you both a moment.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02No, no. That's fine.

0:47:02 > 0:47:06I'm fine. It's a pleasure to meet you.

0:47:06 > 0:47:10Maybe we should just all go up to our rooms and freshen up.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12- Or maybe a drink? - Now you're talking.

0:47:15 > 0:47:18He broke up with you over text message?

0:47:18 > 0:47:20It's like firing someone over the internet.

0:47:22 > 0:47:24What a weaselly prick.

0:47:24 > 0:47:25What does that make me?

0:47:25 > 0:47:27Someone who falls for a prick.

0:47:27 > 0:47:29We all fall for them.

0:47:29 > 0:47:31Pricks are spontaneous, unpredictable and fun.

0:47:31 > 0:47:35Then we're surprised when they turn out to be pricks.

0:47:35 > 0:47:37- I followed him to Omaha. - You did?

0:47:37 > 0:47:41I had a job waiting for me in San Francisco

0:47:41 > 0:47:44when he got an offer from ConAgra.

0:47:44 > 0:47:47He said we could start a life together.

0:47:47 > 0:47:48So I followed him.

0:47:48 > 0:47:49To Nebraska?

0:47:53 > 0:47:56I thought I'd be engaged by now. No offence.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58- None taken. - It's all right.

0:48:00 > 0:48:05When I was 16, I thought by 23, I'd be married, maybe have a kid,

0:48:05 > 0:48:08corner office by day, entertaining at night.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11I was supposed to be driving a Grand Cherokee by now.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13Life can underwhelm you that way.

0:48:14 > 0:48:17Where did you think you'd be by erm..?

0:48:18 > 0:48:20It doesn't work that way.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22At a certain point, you stop with the deadlines.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24It can be counter-productive.

0:48:24 > 0:48:27I don't want to say anything that's anti-feminist.

0:48:27 > 0:48:30I really appreciate everything your generation did for me.

0:48:30 > 0:48:32- Our pleasure. - Well done.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34But sometimes it feels like no matter how success I have,

0:48:34 > 0:48:37it's not gonna matter until I find the right guy.

0:48:37 > 0:48:41You really thought this guy was the one?

0:48:41 > 0:48:43I could have made it work.

0:48:43 > 0:48:47He erm... He really fit the bill, you know?

0:48:47 > 0:48:48The bill?

0:48:48 > 0:48:52White collar, college grad, loves dogs, likes funny movies,

0:48:52 > 0:48:546 ft 1", brown hair, kind eyes.

0:48:54 > 0:48:58Works in finance but is outdoorsy, you know, on the weekends.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03I always imagined he'd have a single syllable name,

0:49:03 > 0:49:06like, erm, Matt or John or Dave.

0:49:08 > 0:49:10In a perfect world, he drives a 4Runner

0:49:10 > 0:49:13and the only thing he loves more than me is his golden Lab.

0:49:15 > 0:49:16And a nice smile.

0:49:18 > 0:49:19What about you?

0:49:19 > 0:49:24Let me think, er...

0:49:24 > 0:49:26Honestly, by the time you're 34,

0:49:26 > 0:49:29all the physical requirements go out the window.

0:49:29 > 0:49:31You secretly pray that he'll be taller than you.

0:49:31 > 0:49:36Erm... not an asshole would be nice, someone who enjoys my company,

0:49:36 > 0:49:37comes from a good family,

0:49:37 > 0:49:40because you don't think of that when you're younger.

0:49:40 > 0:49:44I don't know... someone who wants kids...

0:49:44 > 0:49:46Likes kids, wants kids.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49Healthy enough... to play with his kids.

0:49:52 > 0:49:55Oh, please, let him earn more money than I do.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58You might not understand that now, but believe me, you will one day,

0:49:58 > 0:50:00otherwise that's a recipe for disaster.

0:50:03 > 0:50:06Hopefully some hair on his head.

0:50:06 > 0:50:10But even that's not a deal breaker these days.

0:50:12 > 0:50:13A nice smile.

0:50:16 > 0:50:19Yeah, nice smile. Nice smile just might do it.

0:50:21 > 0:50:23Wow, that was depressing.

0:50:25 > 0:50:26I should just date women.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28Tried it.

0:50:28 > 0:50:30We're no picnic ourselves.

0:50:34 > 0:50:38I don't mind being married to my career.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41And I don't expect it to hold me in bed as I fall asleep.

0:50:45 > 0:50:46I just don't want to settle.

0:50:48 > 0:50:51You're young. Right now, you see settling as some sort of failure.

0:50:51 > 0:50:54It is. By definition.

0:50:55 > 0:50:58But by the time someone is right for you, it won't feel like settling.

0:50:58 > 0:51:01The only person left to judge you will be the 23-year-old girl

0:51:01 > 0:51:03with the target on your back.

0:51:08 > 0:51:10So what's the plan for the evening?

0:51:10 > 0:51:14Well, we're gonna hit that party for the tech conference at the hotel.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16I didn't know you could attend those,

0:51:16 > 0:51:18I thought you had to register.

0:51:18 > 0:51:22- Technically, I don't think it's open to the public.- ..Just stop by.

0:51:22 > 0:51:23You're gonna crash it?

0:51:26 > 0:51:30They throw a nice party and they have a good time usually.

0:51:30 > 0:51:32No, no, I get it. I'm in.

0:51:52 > 0:51:54Jennifer Chu?

0:51:54 > 0:51:58- Shit! - It'll be fine.

0:52:02 > 0:52:06HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS

0:55:17 > 0:55:21It's what us modern girls do when we have a crush.

0:55:21 > 0:55:24- Did it bother you? - It depends.

0:55:24 > 0:55:26Is the bag empty because you hate people

0:55:26 > 0:55:28or you hate the baggage that they come with?

0:55:28 > 0:55:30I don't hate people, I'm not a hermit.

0:55:30 > 0:55:34You just don't want to be tied down with the whole responsibility thing?

0:55:35 > 0:55:38I don't know what originally sparked the backpack.

0:55:38 > 0:55:40Probably needed to be alone.

0:55:42 > 0:55:46Recently I've been thinking that I needed to empty the backpack

0:58:25 > 0:58:29What, erm... kind of relationship do you have?

0:58:29 > 0:58:30You know, casual.

0:58:32 > 0:58:33Sounds pretty special.

0:58:33 > 0:58:35It works for us.

0:58:36 > 0:58:38Don't you think there's a future there?

0:58:38 > 0:58:41I never really thought about it. What's going on?

0:58:41 > 0:58:43- Really never thought about it? - No.

0:58:45 > 0:58:49How can you not think about that? How does it not even cross your mind

0:58:49 > 0:58:51- that you might want a future with someone?- Simple.

0:58:51 > 0:58:54You know that moment when you look into somebody's eyes

0:58:54 > 0:58:57and you can feel them staring into your soul and the whole world

0:58:57 > 0:59:00- goes quiet just for a second? - Yes.

0:59:00 > 0:59:02Right. Well, I don't.

0:59:02 > 0:59:04You're an asshole.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06I'm just dicking around. C'mon, give me a hand.

0:59:06 > 0:59:09- Don't you think it's worth giving her a chance?- A chance to what?

0:59:09 > 0:59:11A chance at something real.

0:59:11 > 0:59:14Your definition of real is going to evolve as you get older.

0:59:14 > 0:59:16Stop condescending, or is that a principle

0:59:16 > 0:59:18of your bullshit philosophy?

0:59:18 > 0:59:19Bullshit philosophy?

0:59:19 > 0:59:22The isolation, the travelling, is that supposed to be charming?

0:59:22 > 0:59:23It's a life choice.

0:59:23 > 0:59:25It's a cocoon of self-banishment.

0:59:25 > 0:59:26Wow. Big words.

0:59:26 > 0:59:28Screw you.

0:59:28 > 0:59:29Screw you too.

0:59:29 > 0:59:33You have set up a way of life that makes it impossible for you

0:59:33 > 0:59:34to have any human connection.

0:59:34 > 0:59:37And now this woman comes along and somehow runs the gauntlet

0:59:37 > 0:59:39of your ridiculous life choice

0:59:39 > 0:59:42and comes out on the other end smiling just so you can call her casual?

0:59:42 > 0:59:45I need to grow up? You're a 12-year-old!

0:59:45 > 0:59:47I don't have a gauntlet of -

1:00:53 > 1:00:56Hey, welcome to Detroit.

1:00:56 > 1:00:57What's going on here?

1:00:57 > 1:00:59I've been looking at those great numbers,

1:00:59 > 1:01:02I thought maybe we should just give this a try.

1:01:02 > 1:01:03We could use a little more time.

1:01:03 > 1:01:06You gotta leave the nest at some point.

1:01:06 > 1:01:09This is a real company, Craig. We're here to do some damage.

1:01:09 > 1:01:12I know, good thing we brought our best. Let's stop screwing around.

1:01:12 > 1:01:15Just give me a minute to prepare and get my things together.

1:01:15 > 1:01:18I was thinking Natalie could take this one.

1:01:18 > 1:01:20She's hardly ready for that.

1:01:20 > 1:01:23- I've been watching her results, she's great. - This is a whole other animal.

1:01:23 > 1:01:27You know she created it, right? Natalie. Are you not up for it?

1:01:30 > 1:01:32- Yeah, I'm game. - That's my girl.

1:01:34 > 1:01:38Just remember, don't apologise, don't tell them how hard this is for you.

1:01:38 > 1:01:40It's one of the worst days of their life.

1:01:40 > 1:01:44- How we feel doesn't even compare. - Got it.

1:01:44 > 1:01:46Keep it professional, you'll be fine.

1:01:51 > 1:01:52What's all this? What's going on?

1:02:25 > 1:02:27What the fuck is this?!

1:02:35 > 1:02:38It's perfectly normal to be upset.

1:02:42 > 1:02:45Greater opportunities? I'm 57 fucking years old.

1:02:50 > 1:02:51sat where you are now.

1:02:53 > 1:02:57And it's because they sat there that they were able to do it.

1:04:31 > 1:04:32Are you OK? You want me to take over?

1:04:34 > 1:04:35No, I'm all right.

1:04:50 > 1:04:52No, look - We just got here.

1:04:52 > 1:04:54That's one place. We need to try a few more.

1:04:54 > 1:04:56Maybe it doesn't make a difference,

1:04:56 > 1:04:59but it's comforting to know we're in the next room.

1:04:59 > 1:05:03I know you don't give a shit about my comfort.

1:05:03 > 1:05:07I think we could try a few more, that's all I'm saying.

1:05:10 > 1:05:11Fine.

1:09:04 > 1:09:05So you two are dating?

1:09:08 > 1:09:10Not exactly.

1:09:10 > 1:09:12Don't worry about it, we're all getting a little old

1:09:12 > 1:09:14to be calling someone girlfriend.

1:09:14 > 1:09:17I remember when Mom used to call Jack her boyfriend,

1:09:17 > 1:09:21God, drove me up the wall, boyfriends are for kids, right?

1:09:21 > 1:09:23(CHUCKLES) What are you doing at the hotel?

1:09:23 > 1:09:30Yeah, OK. Er... Frank and I are trying out a trial separation.

1:11:33 > 1:11:36I know. It's so great, everyone just chipped in.

1:11:36 > 1:11:41- What gave you the idea to do something so...- Substantial?

1:11:41 > 1:11:45Well, Jim has a lot of our nest-egg invested in

1:11:45 > 1:11:47this real estate venture.

1:11:47 > 1:11:48A real estate investment.

1:11:48 > 1:11:52It's exciting, but we went over our finances and -

1:11:52 > 1:11:56Honeymoon at this state in the game just doesn't really seem affordable.

1:11:56 > 1:12:00So we just thought, just because we can't travel,

1:12:00 > 1:12:02doesn't mean we can't have pictures.

1:12:02 > 1:12:05- I think that's a fabulous idea. - It's a good one.

1:12:05 > 1:12:07The concept is turnkey everything.

1:12:07 > 1:12:10You buy a maintenance contract when you get the home,

1:12:10 > 1:12:12and we'll whack your weeds, change your lightbulbs,

1:12:12 > 1:12:15furniture - bring your own or pick one of our beautiful packages.

1:12:15 > 1:12:18Seamless traditionalism, yet all the perks.

1:12:18 > 1:12:19Nice.

1:12:19 > 1:12:21We all need a place to call our own.

1:12:21 > 1:12:23This is America, this is what we were promised.

1:12:25 > 1:12:27- That's a nice touch. - What?

1:12:27 > 1:12:29The bit on the end about the promise, I like that part.

1:12:29 > 1:12:35Oh, thanks. You, er...

1:12:35 > 1:12:37You still renting that one-bedroom?

1:12:37 > 1:12:39No, I gave it up.

1:12:39 > 1:12:42- So you own now? - No.

1:12:42 > 1:12:43But you're looking?

1:12:43 > 1:12:45No, not really.

1:12:47 > 1:12:48So you're just good?

1:12:49 > 1:12:51I'm good.

1:12:51 > 1:12:53That's good.

1:12:53 > 1:12:56Can you believe it's tomorrow? How are you gonna sleep?

1:12:56 > 1:12:57I don't know.

1:12:57 > 1:13:00Do you want some Xanax?

1:13:00 > 1:13:02I don't think that's for sleeping.

1:13:02 > 1:13:05Yeah... No, I think I'll just have a glass of warm milk.

1:13:05 > 1:13:06That'll do the trick.

1:13:06 > 1:13:09- Take care. - OK.

1:13:09 > 1:13:10- Bye. - Bye.

1:13:10 > 1:13:12There's another box inside.

1:13:12 > 1:13:16- I'll grab it. - Are you sure?- Yeah.

1:13:25 > 1:13:28- Jim seems like a good guy. - Yeah, isn't he great?

1:13:28 > 1:13:31He's gonna make a great husband.

1:13:32 > 1:13:36Julie, I was thinking, with Dad not being here...

1:13:36 > 1:13:41I was wondering if you have anybody to walk you down the aisle?

1:13:44 > 1:13:46Yeah, erm...

1:13:46 > 1:13:51- No, Jim's uncle is gonna do it. - He's been really supportive.

1:13:51 > 1:13:53He's been great.

1:13:53 > 1:13:57That's great, I just wanted to make sure...

1:13:57 > 1:13:59I wanted you to be covered, that's all.

1:14:03 > 1:14:05So, I should be there, what, er...?

1:14:05 > 1:14:08The guests are arriving around five

1:14:08 > 1:14:13- and things get going at 5.30 so... around then.- OK.

1:14:15 > 1:14:18Oh. I'll help you with those.

1:14:20 > 1:14:21Got it.

1:14:22 > 1:14:26(It's OK. It's OK.)

1:14:34 > 1:14:36- None of that was here. - Uh-huh.

1:14:36 > 1:14:38This is all new.

1:14:48 > 1:14:49Really?

1:14:51 > 1:14:53- Is that all you got? - What?

1:15:00 > 1:15:03Give me a boost.

1:15:04 > 1:15:06Watch -

1:15:06 > 1:15:07Hang on.

1:15:15 > 1:15:16I took geography in here.

1:15:16 > 1:15:20You ever fool around with one of your teachers?

1:15:20 > 1:15:23- No, did you? - No, not until college.

1:15:28 > 1:15:30That's me on the right.

1:15:32 > 1:15:36- It's kind of hard to tell. - You can tell by the eyebrows.

1:15:36 > 1:15:38You played basketball?

1:15:38 > 1:15:41I was a point guard. Don't act so surprised.

1:15:41 > 1:15:43I didn't know you were such a jock.

1:15:44 > 1:15:46That's me too.

1:15:46 > 1:15:48And that.

1:15:50 > 1:15:52My first fight.

1:15:52 > 1:15:55- How did it go? - Got my ass kicked.

1:15:55 > 1:15:59This is where we used to go to make out.

1:15:59 > 1:16:02Oh, yes. Yeah, this is very romantic.

1:16:08 > 1:16:10Go, Cougars!

1:16:15 > 1:16:17I'm really happy I came here.

1:16:17 > 1:16:19So am I.

1:16:25 > 1:16:27Kara. Hey.

1:16:27 > 1:16:30(Ryan, where are you? We're having a meltdown here.)

1:16:30 > 1:16:32What's going on? What happened?

1:16:32 > 1:16:33(It's Jim, we need your help.)

1:16:33 > 1:16:35OK.

1:16:36 > 1:16:38We gotta go.

1:16:41 > 1:16:42I'll grab your suit.

1:16:42 > 1:16:44Thanks.

1:17:02 > 1:17:05- What happened? - Jim's got cold feet.

1:17:05 > 1:17:06Today?

1:17:06 > 1:17:08Yeah, that's how cold feet work.

1:17:08 > 1:17:11- What do you want me to do? - Talk to him.

1:17:11 > 1:17:13- You want me to talk to him? - Hey, it's either you or me.

1:17:13 > 1:17:16You know my record, I've already struck out once.

1:17:16 > 1:17:18I haven't been to bat. Haven't been in the dugout.

1:17:18 > 1:17:21Don't you talk for a living? Motivational stuff?

1:17:21 > 1:17:23About how to avoid commitment.

1:17:23 > 1:17:25What kind of fucked up message is that?

1:17:25 > 1:17:27- It's a philosophy. - It's stupid.

1:17:27 > 1:17:29It could have helped you.

1:17:29 > 1:17:32Ryan, you haven't been around much.

1:17:32 > 1:17:34Fuck, basically you don't exist to us.

1:17:35 > 1:17:37I know you want to be there for her.

1:17:37 > 1:17:40Well, here it is.

1:17:40 > 1:17:43This is your chance.

1:18:02 > 1:18:03Hey, what's up, Ryan?

1:18:04 > 1:18:06Jim.

1:18:06 > 1:18:08You ever read this before?

1:18:09 > 1:18:11Yeah, it's pretty powerful stuff.

1:18:11 > 1:18:14Yeah, I'll say.

1:18:17 > 1:18:20Kara mentioned that you were having some thoughts.

1:18:22 > 1:18:25I don't think I'll be able to do this.

1:18:25 > 1:18:29And why would you say that today?

1:18:30 > 1:18:34Last night I was laying in bed and I couldn't get to sleep

1:18:34 > 1:18:37so I started thinking about the wedding and the ceremony

1:18:37 > 1:18:40and about how we're buying a house and moving in together

1:18:40 > 1:18:43and having a kid and then having another kid

1:18:43 > 1:18:48and then Christmas and Thanksgiving and Spring Break

1:18:48 > 1:18:51and going to football games and they're graduating,

1:18:51 > 1:18:54getting jobs and getting married and I'm a grandparent.

1:18:54 > 1:18:57Then I'm retired, losing my hair, getting fat,

1:18:57 > 1:19:00and the next thing you know, I'm dead.

1:19:00 > 1:19:04I'm just like, I can't stop thinking what's the point?

1:19:07 > 1:19:09What is the point?

1:19:10 > 1:19:12The point?

1:19:12 > 1:19:14Yeah, what am I starting here?

1:19:15 > 1:19:18Jim, it's marriage.

1:19:18 > 1:19:21It's one of the most beautiful things on earth.

1:19:21 > 1:19:24It's what people aspire to.

1:19:24 > 1:19:27- You never got married. - That's true.

1:19:27 > 1:19:30- You never even tried. - It's hard to define try.

1:19:30 > 1:19:34I don't know, you seem happier than all my married friends.

1:19:34 > 1:19:39Jim, I'm not gonna lie to you, marriage can be a pain in the ass.

1:19:41 > 1:19:42And you're kind of right,

1:19:42 > 1:19:46- this all is just stuff that leads to your eventual demise.- Yes.

1:19:46 > 1:19:51We're all on running clocks and they can't be slowed down or paused,

1:19:51 > 1:19:54- we all end up in the same place. - Yeah.

1:19:56 > 1:19:57There is no point.

1:19:57 > 1:20:01There is no point. That's what I'm saying.

1:20:01 > 1:20:03SHE MOUTHS

1:20:05 > 1:20:06You know, er...

1:20:06 > 1:20:10..I'm not normally the guy you would talk to about stuff like this.

1:20:14 > 1:20:19If you think about it, your favourite memories,

1:20:19 > 1:20:22the most important moments in your life.

1:20:22 > 1:20:23Were you alone?

1:20:26 > 1:20:27No, I guess not.

1:20:27 > 1:20:31Come to think of it, last night, the night before your wedding

1:20:31 > 1:20:34when all this shit is swirling around your head,

1:20:34 > 1:20:36weren't you in separate bedrooms?

1:20:36 > 1:20:39Yeah, Julie went back to the apartment and I was by myself

1:20:39 > 1:20:41in the honeymoon suite.

1:20:41 > 1:20:42Kind of lonely, huh?

1:20:42 > 1:20:44Yes, pretty lonely.

1:20:46 > 1:20:47Life's better with company.

1:20:49 > 1:20:50Yeah.

1:20:51 > 1:20:53Everybody needs a co-pilot.

1:20:55 > 1:20:57- That was a nice touch. - Thanks.

1:21:00 > 1:21:03So er... what's the mood like out there?

1:21:03 > 1:21:04It's not good.

1:21:04 > 1:21:06She's pretty pissed?

1:21:06 > 1:21:07Upset.

1:21:10 > 1:21:11What should I do?

1:21:13 > 1:21:14Go get her.

1:21:29 > 1:21:32I'm such a fuck-up. I love you so much.

1:21:32 > 1:21:34Will you be my co-pilot?

1:21:37 > 1:21:39Yes. Yes.

1:25:33 > 1:25:35Can't imagine why.

1:25:35 > 1:25:37They follow a workflow that takes them

1:30:29 > 1:30:32What were you thinking showing up at my door like that?

1:30:32 > 1:30:35What do you mean? I wanted to see you.

1:30:35 > 1:30:38I didn't know you had a family. Why wouldn't you tell me that?

1:30:38 > 1:30:39I'm sorry I ruined your evening

1:30:39 > 1:30:42but you could have seriously screwed things up for me.

1:30:42 > 1:30:45That's my family. That's my real life.

1:30:48 > 1:30:50I thought I was a part of your real life.

1:30:51 > 1:30:53I thought we signed up for the same thing.

1:30:55 > 1:30:59Try and help me understand exactly what it is that you signed up for.

1:30:59 > 1:31:05I thought our relationship was perfectly clear.

1:31:05 > 1:31:07You are an escape.

1:31:10 > 1:31:12'You're a break from our normal lives.'

1:31:12 > 1:31:14You're a... a parenthesis.

1:31:17 > 1:31:19I'm a parenthesis?

1:31:30 > 1:31:33You don't even know what you want.

1:31:36 > 1:31:38'I'm a grown-up, OK?'

1:31:38 > 1:31:44So, if you would like to see me again, then give me a call.

1:33:41 > 1:33:43So, where are you from?

1:33:49 > 1:33:51I'm from here.

1:34:07 > 1:34:11'Hello, Mr Bingham.'

1:34:11 > 1:34:14- How did you know it was me? - 'This is your dedicated line.

1:34:14 > 1:34:17'We reserve them for our most loyal and appreciated flyers.'

1:34:17 > 1:34:19I'd like to transfer some of my miles.

1:34:19 > 1:34:22Can I open up an account to Jim and Julie Miller?

1:34:22 > 1:34:25'Certainly. How many miles would you like to transfer?'

1:34:25 > 1:34:28How many miles does it take to circle the globe?

1:34:28 > 1:34:30'We have our Around the World tickets,

1:34:30 > 1:34:31'They're 500,000 miles each.'

1:34:31 > 1:34:33That would be fine.

1:34:33 > 1:34:34- Got a second? - I'll call you back.

1:34:34 > 1:34:37What happened to you yesterday? I was trying to get hold of you.

1:34:37 > 1:34:41I was... Some personal stuff. What's going on?

1:34:41 > 1:34:43Do you remember Karen Barnes?

1:34:44 > 1:34:47Part of a 30-person reduction a few weeks back in Wichita?

1:34:48 > 1:34:50Natalie fired her.

1:34:50 > 1:34:52Fired dozens of people that day, I...

1:34:52 > 1:34:54She killed herself. Jumped off a bridge.

1:34:56 > 1:34:58Fuck.

1:34:58 > 1:35:01I need to know if you remember any woman

1:35:01 > 1:35:03that gave any signals... Depression -

1:35:03 > 1:35:05They're all depressed, we're firing them.

1:35:05 > 1:35:08Hey, I need to ask you this stuff, OK?

1:35:08 > 1:35:14No, I don't remember anything. You never think that they're...

1:35:14 > 1:35:16Don't remember any woman that gave you any signals?

1:35:16 > 1:35:22- Anything at all, Ryan? - No, nothing stands out.

1:35:23 > 1:35:24Is Natalie all right?

1:35:24 > 1:35:26Natalie quit.

1:35:29 > 1:35:31She quit?

1:35:31 > 1:35:32Text message.

1:35:34 > 1:35:38Fucking nice, right? No-one's got any manners any more.

1:35:38 > 1:35:41- Did she say where she was going? - No. Was a little upset.

1:35:44 > 1:35:45I should give her a call.

1:35:48 > 1:35:50I need you back in the air.

1:35:53 > 1:35:55Hey, did you hear what I said?

1:35:55 > 1:35:57I thought you'd be thrilled about that.

1:35:57 > 1:36:00It's fine, what about the video conferencing?

1:36:00 > 1:36:06CTC is going to pause the new media front, give it some more thought.

1:36:06 > 1:36:08We are gonna get our work horses back in the air

1:36:08 > 1:36:10doing what they do best, OK?

1:36:12 > 1:36:13How long are you sending me out?

1:36:13 > 1:36:16We're gonna let you sail and sail,

1:36:16 > 1:36:18you send us a postcard if you ever get there.

1:36:32 > 1:36:35So, what happened?

1:36:35 > 1:36:37How exactly do you mean?

1:36:37 > 1:36:40You graduated top of your class.

1:36:40 > 1:36:43You had your pick of employment, including right here.

1:36:43 > 1:36:46Instead, you went to Omaha to fire people for a living?

1:36:48 > 1:36:50- It's challenging work. - I'll say.

1:36:50 > 1:36:54I can't imagine doing that day in, day out.

1:36:54 > 1:36:55Not in this climate.

1:36:58 > 1:36:59I followed a boy.

1:37:03 > 1:37:06I guess everybody does that at one point or another.

1:37:12 > 1:37:15This guy says I'd be lucky to have you.

1:37:15 > 1:37:16'To whom it may concern,

1:37:16 > 1:37:20'I can't even count the number of people I've fired in my lifetime.

1:37:20 > 1:37:23'So many that I've forgotten what it's like to hire somebody.

1:37:23 > 1:37:29'We've never met, but I know you'd be lucky to have Natalie Keener.

1:37:29 > 1:37:31'My advice? Take her and don't look back.

1:37:31 > 1:37:34'She'll be the best decision you've made in a long time.'

1:37:38 > 1:37:41Sure hope he's right.

1:37:51 > 1:37:53Well, I don't have a lot of hope

1:37:53 > 1:37:56and I really don't know when it's gonna get better.

1:37:56 > 1:38:00There's a lot of people unemployed and I really don't know

1:38:00 > 1:38:03when there's gonna be light at the end of the tunnel.

1:38:03 > 1:38:05I can't find much to talk about.

1:38:05 > 1:38:08Talk about being proud. I'm proud of my kids.

1:38:08 > 1:38:10I think the anger comes from the fact that

1:38:10 > 1:38:13I just wasn't needed any more.

1:38:13 > 1:38:20I would say, without my friends and my family, I wouldn't have made it.

1:38:20 > 1:38:22It would have been a lot tougher to make it on my own.

1:38:22 > 1:38:27When I wake up in the morning and I look over and I see my wife,

1:38:27 > 1:38:29that gives me the sense of purpose.

1:38:29 > 1:38:31It's not all about the money.

1:38:31 > 1:38:34Money can keep you warm. Pays your heating bills.

1:38:34 > 1:38:39It can buy you a blanket. Erm... But it's not as -

1:38:39 > 1:38:42Doesn't keep you as warm as when my husband holds me.

1:38:42 > 1:38:47Let me get up, let me get out, let me find something.

1:38:47 > 1:38:50So, my kids are my purpose. My family.

1:39:18 > 1:39:22'Tonight, most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs

1:39:22 > 1:39:24'and squealing kids.

1:39:24 > 1:39:28'Their spouses will ask about their day and tonight they'll sleep.

1:39:28 > 1:39:34'The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding places.

1:39:34 > 1:39:38'And one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest,

1:39:38 > 1:39:41'will be my wing-tip passing over.'
