This is... This is crazy, Ben. Two desks are not going to fit in here.

Uh, Becky, I want you to let Ben give you a hand, okay?

And CC him on all my e-mails?

Did we get yesterday's numbers?

And I need to go over the data on customer purchase patterns.

Let Ben take a look at that, too.

I've been here nine months, Ben, and she has never asked me to take a look at anything for her ever, okay?

I happen to think you do a lot of things right.

I bust my ass for her 14 hours a day, and she never notices.

Okay, let's see what she does at checkout.

Okay, maybe check the delivery cost on those boots?

Should I come back?

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.

And, Jules, Becky was a huge help in this. You know, she has a business degree from Penn?

I'll say something to her.

1. Becky feels threatened and underappreciated when Ben is sent to help her. Is she overreacting? Does she have the right to be upset? How would you feel if you were in her situation?
2. Becky's desk is very disorganized. Do you think this means that she is also a disorganized person?
3. Becky is young and well-educated. Ben is old and experienced. Who do you think is more suitable as Jules's personal assistant?
4. Earlier in the movie, Jules is angry because the investors want to hire a CEO to make her job easier. Then she promotes Ben to help Becky and make her job easier. Is Jules being hypocritical? Is it the same situation? Why?
5. What are the most effective ways for a boss to show appreciation to her/his workers (other than money)?
6. Have you ever had a boss that didn't notice your work or appreciate your effort? How did you deal with the situation? Did you complain directly to her or him?
7. Jules and Cameron are watching customers use their website in real time. How would you feel if they were watching you?
8. How do you feel about online shopping websites tracking your spending habits? Do you appreciate their purchase suggestions? Or do you feel it is an invasion of privacy? Why?
