Ready for the big interview?
What are you wearing?
I thought Monica bought you a cocktail dress?
Yeah, but I want to look professional.
My mom bought me this suit for interviews last summer.
Your mother has the best intentions, but I mean,
she works in a nursing home, doesn't she?
So?
She doesn't understand how our world works.
The world you're moving into now.
You're interviewing Simon just as
much as he's interviewing you.
What do you mean?
Do you admire his values, his work ethic?
Would you like to spend the summer working with him?
Do you even like Simon?
I've only met him twice.
Cassie, it's very important that we
maintain a good relationship with our alumni network.
Not just for your sake, but for the sake of all
the girls who'll come after.
I don't want to let anybody down.
Good.
Don't ruin this for your sisters.
We're all family, after all.
Wear the dress.
Own the room and the interview, and don't look back.
[birds chirping]
[doorbell ring]
I'm here to see Simon Hughes.
SIMON (ON INTERCOM): It's open.
[gasp]
Apologies.
I didn't mean to startle you.
But I am impressed with your reflexes.
CASSIE: You should see me with nunchucks.
You look beautiful.
Oh, thank you.
You look nice, too.
I thought we were meeting in your office?
This is my home office.
My regular office is too noisy, and we
have so much to talk about.
Please.
Yeah.
Of course.
[crickets chirping]
Would you like some champagne?
Or if you prefer, red wine?
I'm good with water.
You sure?
Yeah.
This view is incredible.
SIMON: Yes, incredible.
Well, I hope you like lobster.
Bon appetit.
When last we spoke, you were sharing your fascination
with the supply chain, which is surprising for someone
your age, certainly.
People have a tendency to vilify
pharmaceutical companies, without looking
deeply into the many ways they make our lives better.
And there are so many ways they make our lives better.
Yeah.
I mean, these days, everyone just
wants to write them off as peddling designer drugs,
or like, they're simply faceless machines only driven by profit,
when many of the best companies have
very specific humanitarian names written into their charters.
You're a very passionate young woman.
CASSIE: Healthcare means a lot to me.
My mom showed me just how big of a difference quality care
can make in people's lives.
SIMON: I'm a passionate man, too.
[cell phone ringing]
I have to take this.
Hello?
No, you don't, you don't-- you don't have to go.
What?
