Were you checking out my ***?
Yeah. You've been wearing those same khakis for five years,
get a new pair already. This is the thanks I get for going along with your
documentary charade?
Don't worry, I'll thank you in my awards speech. So what's the big news? I'm busy.
Oh yeah? Did you fix Annie's wedding? What do you think I'm busy with?
May I ask what your plan is? Just some preliminary research on the couple...
Ya know, social activity, bank accounts, phone records... You have access to their bank accounts
and their phone records?
Yes. And ty know that you have access. So,
So um... yeah, what's the big news? Tell me. Busy busy.
Well I found her. Her who? Mister
Knightley, are you asking me for dating advice?
You'd like that, wouldn't you? So very much. Harriet
Smith, double major, highly motivated?
Emma Woodhouse, meet your new assistant.
So where is this Harriet from?
Remember this stack of resumes applying for your
criminally vacant assistant position? Is that what that is? I figured I'd save you some
time and went through all these already
And that is by no doubt the best one.
I don't need an assistant. On what planet? I'm completely self sufficient I don't need
any help.
Says the woman who set up a business with her dad's money and me
to do all the actual business work. Whatever gets you to sleep at night.
Interview her, then hire her.
Are you forcing her on me? This is so unlike you. No,
Think of this as my gift to you, to make YOUR life better.
Uh huh. Is she like your spy?
Your trojan horse? Is she going to *** me in my sleep?
Okay, stop it. You're scaring me. One day, Mister Knightley, I will return this favor.
Think of it as my gift to you. Okay,
I'll admit this Harriet Smith has got a pretty strong resume.
With a video application. Very Emma Approved.
And she has degrees in Marketing and Library Science. Who majors in library
science?
She's probably really good at researching stuff, that would be useful.
And I could really use a good white chocolate latte.
Anyway, I'm not one for formal interviews,
Let's see how she handles herself Hello?
Hello. Is this Harriet Smith?
Yes, who is this? I am Emma Woodhouse.
Oh, oh my god, I didn't know
you were gonna call me. That's the point. Do you have a few minutes to
answer some questions?
Um, sure. I'm driving though, Oh that's way better, why don't you just come into the offices?
Okay. I'll see you in an hour.
Wait, now? No,
Harriet, right now I'm very busy.
But oneour would be perfect. Unless that's going to be a problem.
Um... no... I don't think, but I could... Great!
Sixty minutes starting now. Oh and could you pick me up a white chocolate latte?
Non dairy please. Okay... sure... I mean,
but I don't know where your offices are. I have faith in you, Harriet
Drive safe. So working at Emma Approved isn't just for anyone.
you have to be smart, resourceful, clever
and willing to do whatever it takes to... well,
you know... Oh, and have a great smile.
So, if this Harriet what's your name has got what it takes,
we'll find out in 54 minutes. Come in!
Hi Ms. Woodhouse. You must be Harriet.
That's me. It's an honor to meet you. You're welcome.
Come sit down next to me. Wave hello to the people.
There are people? There will be. Okay. Hi,
people! Did you bring me when I asked for? Yeah,
white chocolate latte. Why are there two cups?
Oh,well I couldn't remember which kind of non-dairy milk you wanted,
so I brought some options. Well I prefer almond milk.
Most places don't have that option. I know, I remember you tweeted once that almond
milk is the new soy milk so I did some
research and went to a cafe that had it. Delicious!
So Harriet, why do you want to work here?
Because what you're doing here it's amazing.
You're bettering the world one life at time. I think it's noble and inspiring.
It is, but this job is easy. It's hard work,
long hours and we do everything it takes for our clients.
We make their lives better. Exactly!
Now some of the things to do around here may seem a bit unorthodox,
but remember we always do what's best. That won't be a problem Ms. Woodhouse. You
can count on me.
I would you anything for this job. I like you, Harriet.
I'm gonna give you a shot. Think this as a trial run.
Oh my god, thank you, thank you.
I promise I won't let you down... When do I start?
Right now.Bring that latte to Mr. Knightley. Okay, right away.
great and be sure to accidentally spill it on to his khakis.
Just a bit. Um... but won't that ruin them?
That's the point, Harriet. Do you know why?
Think about it. Um.. because
Because it's what's best for Mr. Knightley? Exactly! Now less
thinking, more doing. Off you go! Go!
