[Corbin hands Nate his business card, which has a phone number and a LinkedIn address as his website]

Corbin: Absolutely, take some time! My cell number is on here.

[Nate walking away, face conflicted, as Corbin beams and waves from behind him]

Corbin: It's going to be great having you back, Nate!

Nate: Th-thanks...
