Points in Case

Phil, We have Beth. Above all, no cops and no FBI. Tell NO ONE that she is missing if you want to see her again. For her safe return, you must raise a significant sum of money. Yes, we know you don’t have it and you’ve been living paycheck to paycheck, but we will instruct you on exactly what to do to get your life together: 1. Do not speak to anyone, including family. If someone asks, simply tell them that you and Beth had an argument and she is out of state with friends. 2.

Dear [Applicant_FirstName], Thank you for taking the time to apply for an internship with us. Your interest in our company means a great deal, especially from a Nobel laureate like yourself! We regret to inform you that the position has been filled by my nephew. While your CV, cover letter, and interview were formidable, we have decided to go with a candidate whose skill set is a closer match for the specific requirements of this role.

Look, Devin is a good kid. You might not think that based on the jiggle physics you are seeing on the two nuns in this first scene, but you have to admit he’s a wizard with this drone technology. When our previous intern interviewed Devin to be his replacement, Devin sent in the production you’re observing as a part of his portfolio to demonstrate his talents as a drone show programmer.

At GrainFed Group, philanthropy is paramount to our enterprise. Childhood hunger is our strategic focus for this year’s mandatory Day of Service, which will run from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. We will deploy small teams to community schools which we have identified as food deficient. Some of you have voiced opinions stating that we could donate food or money. While we appreciate feedback from our tertiary tier colleagues, this is too on the nose with our industry stature as an agricultural powerhouse.

My cab driver speaks incredibly fast, nothing like the cheerful avatars who say “J’adore.” I don’t panic. I look for the button to slow him down. The only button lowers the window. The cab driver seems upset that I’m ignoring him and opening and closing the window. “Je suis arrivé à Paris!” I announce, suddenly and loudly. I smile, relieved that he now knows I understand where I am. I frown when I realize I receive no points for completing a speaking exercise.

Christopher Nolan has been on fire lately. First, he made a mind-bending movie about time travel that I didn’t understand, but thought was great. Then, he turned his attention to a sad, smug historical figure I’d never heard of, resulting in a cinema classic. Now, he’s adapting The Odyssey, one of the oldest stories in existence, which has me incredibly excited as it’s one of my favorite books I’ve never read. This July, an epic of…epic…proportions is set to hit theaters and I’ll be first in line.

You’re invited to your work’s super-fun, summer team get-together dinner! No, it’s not mandatory, but you’re strongly encouraged to come if you’d like to ensure paid time off for the things you’d actually like to do this summer. We know we didn’t give you bonuses over Christmas, just those water bottles with our logo that you have to leave on work property, so we thought this would be an enjoyable diversion from that, since some of you can’t seem to stop talking about it.

You recently watched The Rainmaker. The Rainmaker is a legal thriller starring Matt Damon and Claire Danes. My top recommendation for legal thrillers starring Matt Damon and Claire Danes is The Rainmaker. I recommend you watch The Rainmaker. You have decided to watch London Has Fallen. London Has Fallen is not The Rainmaker. I recommend you watch The Rainmaker. You have selected the trailer for Mystic River. If you are interested in films like Mystic River then I recommend you watch The Rainmaker.

Thinking of buying a truck? Let me tell you bud, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Here are some questions I wish someone would’ve asked me before I took the pickup plunge. Do you really need all that extra space? Everyone knows that unique feeling of extreme terror when you’re trying, and failing, to stuff a 12-foot-tall giant Halloween skeleton into a four-door sedan.

My name’s Phil. I’m 46. I’m single. I work for an accounting firm. After a hectic tax season, I finally pulled the trigger on a summer rental in the Hamptons. Not the entire house. Just one of the seven bedrooms. It’s great. There’s a hammock on the porch, a pool, and a shade tree out back where I can read. Every house has its quirks. This one came with three camera operators, four showrunners, a production schedule, and an on-site legal team. None of that was mentioned on the Airbnb listing.
