Welcome back! Where do I begin?
It's been quite a month of changes around here.
Although the Eltons' high profile - and high maintenance - engagement party went well...
some people enjoyed it more than others. But I took it as a sign that it's time
to grow and evolve. Bigger and bolder.
We are not just bettering the life of one person, but bettering something greater and
grander.
I'm Emma Woodhouse and I will make the world better...
With some help
And by help I mean
amazingly talented and lovely people. Like Alex Knightley,
Harriet Smith and Jane Fairfax.
Jane Fairfax. Jane Fairfax.
I'm sorry
were you talking to me? Some people need to learn how to hit a cue. How did you know I was
out here?
I know things. Don't be shy
I'm not shy, it's strange. Just open up and relax.
It's just a camera, it doesn't bite. But who's going to see this when it's done?
Everyone! Or possibly no one? So pessimistic.
Sorry, it's just... recording everything, particularly in a place in business
It's all part of the business. You'll get used to it.
Just forget they're there. Even Alex did after a few...
months. Just business? Business, publicity, amazingness.
That's what it's there for! Embrace it. But is it necessary?
Why don't you tell me about the Hygienic H20 Project?
Didn't you get my email? I did. That's the latest.
Would you mind repeating it? Why? Was there something you didn't understand?
No, not for me... for them. Oh...
Who are they exactly? So this morning you got off the phone with the Hygienic H20
Project,,,
I did. And...
And they said they'd come aboard as partners. And what does that mean?
It means for our next few fundraisers, they'll be assisting with promotion.
And we will be... We will be
building awareness to provide clean water across the world. That's incredible!
You're an asset and a half, Jane Fairfax. See? That wasn't so hard.
It's still strange. You'll get used to it, just
ask me a question. Okay... So
how is the search for our next fund-raiser? What do you mean?
Our next fund-raiser. Bringing in partners isn't going to mean anything if there's nothing to
partner on. I'm working on it. You know, summer is always a bit slow...
I could make some phone calls, if you need help -- Don't be silly!
You do what you do, and I will do what I do... And we will succeed
together!
Sounds great. You just keep getting those partners. Don't worry,
I will.
So that was Jane
Fairfax... Well, sort of.
She'll warm up. I know. I know.
I've had my fair share of misgivings about her, but she's more than qualified,
and I'm going to make this work. She's a genuine social justice advocate.
In fact, if she were any more involved, I'd have to sew her a cape and cut her a mask.
That being said, she's not very camera comfortable, which, as you can imagine,
sticks out like a flip-flop at a five-star. She's going to have to warm up
to the camera...
like some other people I know. Are you talking about me?
See? Now that's how you hit a cue. What?
Nevermind... What's going on? Nothing. Just checking in. I
wanted to see how you're getting along with Jane. Jane's great. Okay...
Really? Yes! You think I'm tormenting her, don't you?
No... Maybe... Are you?
No!... Unless you count putting her on camera.
Um... Well, that could be considered - See? Not tormenting.
I know you'll find this hard to believe, but some people prefer their privacy.
People won't remember your greatness if you keep it private. But people tend to
get more done when they aren't focused on getting
attention. Are you calling me inefficient? No.
Are you saying Jane is more efficient than me? I'm saying that Jane is complimentary to you,
to us and what we do. She works hard, brings in new partners, and
she's good fit around here. So... So...
Work with her... and remember to be nice.
I'm nice!... I'm usually nice.
I know. Just make her feel welcome.
You're right. I will.
Good.
What's going on?
Come. Sit... in your seat. What's that?
My gift to you. It's on now?
Always. Okay, does it have to stay here?
Everyone has a camera in their office - It's kind of the rules. This is very Big
Sister, Emma.
Aww, you're welcome, I'm so glad that you think of me as a sister.
That's not what I - And see now, you're really part of the team.
You're getting us water partners, you got a cute
office and
you have a camera to document our greatness. I'm not sure about this.
You're right, I'll pick up some things to decorate the space.
Show off that legendary Jane Fairfax personality! Actually, I
think the space is- Emma and Jane, no, no... Jane
and Emma, MAKING THE WORLD BETTER TOGETHER!
