I wish I had your confidence.
Look, you just need a way to make yourself absolutely essential.
Well, I work harder than anyone in my division.
Yeah.Keeping your job has nothing to do with hard work.You need a thing.
What do you mean, a thing?

Hey, buddy.
Hey, Douglas.
You're so tight.
I was relaxed about two seconds ago.
You're next.
Hi.Welcome to Mosbius Designs.
Who the hell are you?
I'm PJ, Mr.Mosby's assistant.
Ted, What the hell is going on?
I'm sorry.We do not interrupt Mr.Mosby during his brainstorming hour.
It's okay, PJ.That's Robin.She lives here.
I'm sorry for the disturbance, sir.Do you need anything else?
disturbance 騒ぎ
I wouldn't say no to a cup of coffee.
You're right there!
So now, Ted has an assistant to help him not do anything.
Hey, PJ's been a huge help to me, setting up the office, designing the Web site.And in return, I'm mentoring a bright young mind.
in return お礼として
Yes, the mentoring.
I want you to go outside today and simply put your hands on buildings.All right? Feel the concrete pulse.Listen Listen to the stories the stones are telling you.And pick up my dry cleaning.
I will.Thank you so much, Mr.Mosby.
All right.
Hey Ted, This table just told me you're a douche.
This whole mentoring thing is just another way to procrastinate from actually calling clients.
I'm not procrastinating.I just I want everything to be perfect, okay? I only get one shot at this.
only get one shot at やり直しが利かない
Fine, but PJ is not helping.
If Ted says that PJ is important to the company, then PJ is not going anywhere.
See? He's very valuable.
PJ's a guy? PJ's not some hot chick you're banging?
No, I'm mentoring him.
Mentoring.I mentored a young fellow once.Even made him my wingman.Then, one day, he hired an assistant to work ten feet from his bedroom who get this isn't a hot chick, proving he never listened to a word I said.And do you know that young man's name?
Ted Mosby.
Maybe.I don't remember.Because he is dead to me! PJ's gonna be getting a very confusing card in the mail, along with a garment that he should by no means wear for three days and then mail back to me.
