Problem: Given the question: Young Man: Ah, you don't want to know. Woman: Okay, see ya. Young Man: Wait, wait, wait! Why are you walking away? Woman: Well, you said I didn't want to know. Young Man: No, wait. You see my parents really don't love me. Woman: What do you mean? When I met them last week, they seemed really caring. Young Man: Uh, you don't understand! You see. I want a new smart phone ... I mean, I need one, and my parents won't buy me it! Woman: Uh, excuse me, but uh, don't you already have a iPhone? Young Man: Man, yeah, but it's three months old, and it has a small scratch on it. Woman: Where? Let me see. [Look!] I don't see a scratch. Young Man: Look, look right here!. [THAT?] [Do] you see it? Woman: It's just a speck of dust. Young Man: Anyway. And my other phone ... Woman: What? You have two phones? Young Man: That's beside the point. Woman: So, so, did your parents give you a reason for not buying you a new phone? Young Man: Not a good one. Only something about being self-reliant and not being so entitled, or something like that. And now they want me to work ... on the neighbor's farm to pay for it. [Good idea!] It's not fair. Woman: Hey, I think I know the problem. [What?] Take a look in the mirror. You'll see both the problem and the solution. Young Man: Uh! You're no help. What was said before this conversation?

Please answer this: Josh: No, but, I have a few leads, so things are looking up. Kelly: But isn't that what you always say? Josh: Well ... uh ... this time is different. Kelly: What are you looking for this time, then? Josh: Actually, I want to work for a Web hosting company. Kelly: What would you do there?
