:05:02
- You hired me. I start work here today.
- You're fired, kid. Sorry.
:05:05
We all saw it coming, but we
looked for some kind of miracle.
:05:07
Miracle never happened.
:05:09
- What did happen?
- Hostile takeover.
:05:11
Ninety percent of the people
in this building are out on the street.
:05:14
You are one of those 90%.
Tough break.
:05:18
Mr. Forbush, I was counting on this job.
What do I do now?
:05:23
Punt!
:05:30
Okay, New York...
:05:32
if this is the way
you want it, okay.
:05:36
- I'm sorry, Mister...
- Foster.
:05:38
I'm sorry, Mr. Foster.
We need someone with experience.
:05:41
But how can I get experience until
I get a job that gives me experience?
:05:45
If we gave you a job
just to give you experience...
:05:48
you'd take that experience
and get a better job.
:05:50
Then that experience
would benefit someone else.
:05:52
But I was trained in college
to handle a job like this.
:05:55
So in a sense,
I already have experience.
:05:58
What you've got is
college experience...
:06:00
not the practical, hard-nosed business
experience we're looking for.
:06:04
If you'd joined our training program out
of high school, you'd be qualified now.
:06:07
Then why did I go to college?
:06:09
Had fun, didn't you?
:06:14
What impresses me most...
:06:16
is the amount of experience you picked
up while still attending college.
:06:19
Well, ma'am, I knew all
those years of college...
:06:22
would be worthless without practical,
hard-nosed business experience.
:06:26
"Assistant personnel manager,
J. Hall Communications.
:06:29
Junior purchasing agent,
Midland Furniture.
:06:32
Vice President in Charge of
Production, Central Manufacturing".
:06:35
Outstanding.
:06:40
You're not gonna tell me I have
too much experience, are you?
:06:42
Certainly not, you're
perfect for the job.
:06:45
- Great!
- Except...
:06:46
No. No exceptions.
:06:49
I want this job.
I need it. I can do it.
:06:51
Everywhere I've been today
there's been something wrong.
:06:53
Too young, too old,
too short, too tall.
:06:56
Whatever the exception is,
I can fix it.
:06:58
I can be older. I can be taller.
I can be anything.
