Hey. Uh, I'm here about the receptionist job.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Is this a big ol' robot? - What?
The receptionist job that was in the paper.
You're hired.
Okay, I... God, you're all sweaty.
I think I got it that "If there's something strange in the..."
Kevin. Right?
Abby. We spoke on the phone.
- Okay. - Kevin. Oh.
That's a manly name.
My name's Erin. With an "E."
For "everything you want."
Okay. Well, we should probably...
Should probably get started.
Erin? Do you want to join us?
Yes. Erin.
I've got some questions.
Let me just get to my notes.
All right, first off, I just want to say...
You know, we should probably start with a very important question that...
we're asking all of the applicants.
You know, are you seeing anyone right now?
- Seeing anyone? - Yeah.
- Just for business purposes. - Business purposes only.
Well, I'm seeing all three of you.
In front of me.
Oh, just forget she even asked, because

Jillian Holtzmann, Radio Times.
What have you been doing with your whole life?
Great question.
Oh, well... lots of different jobs.
I did the... did the "actor thing."
Just real quick.
Can I ask why no... no glass?
They just kept getting dirty, so I took them out.
I got to try to keep that in mind.
Would it be okay if I bring Mike Hat to work sometimes?
He has major anxiety problems.
You know what? I, I would love to let your cat live here with you,
but I have a pretty severe cat allergy.
No, I don't have a cat.
He's a dog. His name is Mike Hat.
Your dog's name is My Cat?
Mike Hat.
Your dog's name is Mike, last name Hat?
Well, his full name is Michael Hat.
I can't say that I'm allergic to dogs, so...
He lives with my mum.
Well, then we have that figured out.
One down. No cat.
But you know what I say, let's jump ahead
Kevin dabbles in web design.
And I asked him to throw together maybe a couple of logos for us.
- Pull it out. - Oh.
You're like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Here we go.
Okay, so...
What do you think of that?
Yeah, you do see how this might make us look bad, right?
Is it the boobs you don't like? 'Cause I can make them bigger.
No, I can see them.
You know what? I think it's not always about the end result.
It's about the journey.
