00:06 [ MAN and WOMAN sit at a dining table] WOMAN: Wow, I can't believe it's been six months since I've been working for the company.

00:09 MAN: I know.

00:10 WOMAN: Oh my gosh!

00:11 MAN: It's been a while. It goes fast, huh?

00:12 WOMAN: It sure does. You know what? Thank you so much for all your help the past few months. The tip about buttering up Mr. Jensen's secretary? Perfect.

00:23 MAN: Worked out.

00:24 WOMAN: All I do is ask her about her grandchildren a couple times a week, and she gets me in for a meeting --

00:29 MAN: Perfect.

00:29 WOMAN: -- with Mr. Jensen whenever I want.

00:30 MAN: Perfect! Just like I said. Doing great work.

00:35 WOMAN: You know, I was kind of wondering. I see people leaving early on Fridays, wearing jeans.

00:40 MAN: Mmm.

00:41 WOMAN: Is Friday kind of a casual day? Is that okay, to kind of leave early?

00:44 MAN: Well, Friday's a casual day to wear jeans, but I wouldn't suggest leaving early. You know, you don't want to make a bad impression on this company right now.

00:50 WOMAN: Right, right.

00:51 MAN: You're doing all the right things. I mean, just keep doing the right thing, and you're going to go far.

00:56 WOMAN: Good tip.

00:57 MAN: Yeah, just like me.

00:58 WOMAN: How long have you been here?

00:59 MAN: Five years.

01:00 WOMAN: Five years!

01:01 MAN: Yeah, it seems like forever . . . [Fade to black.]
