Hi. I'm Ben Whittaker. I have a 3:55 appointment with Ms. Ostin.

I thought she was meeting with her new intern.

It's the new senior intern program. It just started today.

I know, I look older. It's the job. It ages you, which won't be great in your case.

I actually thought you looked younger.

She hates slow talkers. Maybe that's just when I talk slow.

Don't dawdle in any way. Just keep it moving.

I'm glad you also see the humor in this.

I was going to say what is a nice guy like you doing at a place like this?

Cameron gave me the drill, so can I just be honest with you?

I'm not going to have a lot for you to do.

If you ask me, I think that you would be much better off working in creative or marketing.

If you requested to transfer, we could make that happen.

Well, then, (it) looks like you're stuck with me.

Also, don't feel like you have to dress up. I mean, we're super cas here.

I don't think you need a suit to do that.

1. Do you think you would enjoy working for Jules (as her assistant)? What would be one good thing and one bad thing about working for her?
2. Would you like to have Ben as an intern (a 70-year-old man)? What would be one good thing and one bad thing?
3. Would you like to have a 70-year-old man from your country as an intern? Why?
4. What is ageism? In your opinion, is it a type of discrimination? Is ageism a big problem in your country?
5. Do you prefer a formal or casual work environment? Think about clothing, rules, working hours, communication style? Why?
6. What are some things that age you? (i.e. drinking too much coffee)
