| Robin: | You okay?
|
| Ted: | What if I don't think of the books?
|
| Robin: | Excuse me?
|
| Ted: | There's this famous architecture story about an architect who designed this library. It was perfect. But every year, the whole thing would sink a couple inches into the ground. Eventually, the building was condemned. He forgot to account for the weight of the books. This company... it's just me. What if I don't think of the books?
|
| Robin: | Okay... first of all, nobody goes to libraries anymore, so who cares about that guy? Secondly, you need to get on the phone and start calling clients.
|
| Ted: | The longer I put off starting my own firm, the longer it can remain a dream and not something I screwed up at. I mean, it's like I'm giving up before I even started.
|
| Robin: | You want to talk about giving up? I used to describe my ideal guy as "funny, smart, passionate, challenging." And now, apparently, I will settle for "in my apartment." Didn't you think you'd have it all more figured out by now?
|
| Ted: | Are you kidding? By 30, I was going to be annoyingly successful, married to the perfect woman, maybe a kid on the way. Instead, I'm just some guy sitting in his apartment, having a staring contest with his phone. And losing.
|
| Robin: | Hey, you can take that thing. |
