You know, you don't actually have to keep doing that.

(Do) You want a slice?

I noticed a couple hours ago you had a meeting with another possible CEO.

It was going well until he called us, I believe the term he used was, a chick site.

And I didn't hear anything he said after that.

What did you do for work, Ben, before you retired?

Wasn't this a factory that used to make phonebooks?

For 27 years, I sat right by that window.

So you're on Facebook, huh?

Well, I've been trying to figure it out. I joined about 10 minutes ago.

Well, better late than never. (Do) You want some help?

I'd, I'd love some, but, really, you've got better things to do.

(Do) You know what you need now? You need someone to friend.

You can friend me.

I have about another hour of work. Are you okay with that?

It was nice to have an adult conversation with an adult man. You know what I mean?

1. Ben is very deferential (respectful) to Jules even though he is much older and has more professional experience than her. Does this seem unusual to you? Do you think most older retired men would be equally respectful to Jules (in your country)? Why?
2. Ben seems to prefer a more formal boss-employee relationship. Jules is trying to create a much more informal atmosphere in her company. Which style do you prefer? Why?
3. Would you feel comfortable hanging out and drinking with your boss one-on-one? How about with your teacher? Professor? Would it be awkward? Why?
4. Who still actually uses Facebook these days? For what? What do you use it for?
5. Instead of Facebook, what would you recommend Ben sign up for? Why?
6. Do your parents or grandparents have Facebook profiles? Are you friends with them?
7. Are there any apps or platforms (SNS) that you have had trouble learning or using?
8. Would you ever consider dating someone who is divorced? How about a widow or widower? Why / Why not?
