- Thank you.

- Well, okay, but you're

not listening to me.

I don't have the f***ing money.

- A

hardship letter could result

in lower late fees.

I want no late fees, because

this isn't my f***ing fault.

Then we're gonna have

to freeze your card.

- Well, f*** you.

- Um, do you want me to drive?

- No, it's fine.

- I'm really sorry about that.

- It's fine.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm fine.

You look tired.

- Uh, yeah, I guess, maybe.

- I guess you've been

really busy, right?

- Not really.

- Okay, ready?

- Is your boss

still harassing you?

- Of course.

He told me he had a dream

when he came on my tits

the other day, so.

- Oh my god,

you have to quit.

- The money's just not as good,

and I can't afford

to take

- tuxedo park, that like

rich place, the mansion.

- I forgot about tuxedo park.

- Yeah.

- Yes, don't you remember

we like thought we

were gonna go to this

horrible slum thing,

and it ended up being this

mansion, and we didn't--

- tuxedo park.

- Yes, and everybody was

actually wearing a tuxedo

in tuxedo park.

- And we had like

jeans, and nothing else.

- Yes, yes, yes.

- Him. Him.

- He liked me.

- Yeah, he did.

He totally did.

- Oh my god, when

did he tell you that?

- I think when I was

working at union pool.

- Wait a second.

When did you work at union pool?

- That time that I was

guest djing with that boy

- Who was the

boy that you liked?

- That guy, Steven.

- Oh, god, he was

such an a**hole.

- No, he wasn't that bad.

- Are you?

He walked all over you.

- Oh, sh*t, I can't

believe I forgot to tell

you this.

I saw him before

i moved out here.

- You did?

- Yeah, he was like

sitting on the ground

outside the Starbucks

in union square,

and he had this like mustache.

- Well, I'm not like

necessarily against a mustache.

- No, no, no, no, no.

This was like a straggly

like wispy situation.

- Ew.

- - It was glazed.

It was horrible.

- Ew.

- I think he had a nose bleed.

- I think he

was just like bleeding

- You're totally lying,

you're totally lying to me.

- No, I'm pretty

sure that's what happened.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- Wait, so he told

you he liked me?

- Who, Blake.

- Yeah.

- Yes, I think so.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- I am telling you.

- Well, yeah, thanks.

Like five years later.

- I didn't know

that you liked him.

You really liked him?

- Yes.

- Whoops.

- I feel like you're

wrong anyways.

- No, I'm not.

- Yes, you are, and

I'm remembering sort of--

- excuse me.

I am so sorry to interrupt.

I mean, I never do

anything like this.

I'm actually a private

person, you know, myself, but,

haven't I seen you in something?

You're in TV, right?

- Yeah.

- I knew it.

I knew it.

What have I seen you in?

- I don't know.

- Oh, gosh.

I know it is.

Oh, I know, I remember,

it's wendecalm.

You are so good in that.

- Uh, thank you.

- You were so good.

- Thanks.

- And so nice.

Do you mind if i

get your autograph?

Because it would

mean a lot to me.

I'm Sandra.

- Sure.

Sure.

- Nice to meet you.

Here's a fountain pen.

I hope you like it.

- This is my friend, Anna.

She's also an actress.

- Have i

seen you in anything?

- No, I would be surprised.

- I am just blown away by this.

Do you mind if I take a photo?

- No, not at all.

I'm like just so excited about

this, I can't even tell you.

Uh, it's right there.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Sure.

- Okay, one, two, three.

She went away.

She turned the office

into a guest room,

so that my cousin

could stay with her.

- Oh, nice.

- Yeah, but he's

obviously not here anymore, so.

- Great. Perfect.

- Better, right?

- Yeah, I love it.

- Yeah, it's way better.

It's beautiful, huh?

- Hmm?

- The view.

- Still don't get

any reception, huh?

Do you remember that guy, Ryan?

The one whose short I did

that went to Sundance?

Well, he sent me

this feature script

he's been working on,

and he really wanted me to

show it to this producer

on that movie I shot last June.

I guess he like really wants

to work with this one producer,

and like, wanted me

to show it to him.

Oh, I left my shampoo in my bag.

Do you mind grabbing it for me?

Thanks.

- So, what did you tell him?

- Oh, so I told him that

i didn't have a chance.

Show the producers, you

know, and he was like,

"what do you mean you

don't have a chance?

"You've been on set all week."

And I was like, "yeah, but the

producers aren't even there

"every day."

I just feel like he

expects so much from me,

and I, I'm just getting

my feet wet, you know?

- Wait, what?

- What?

- You're in the united

Hollywood issue?

Why didn't you

tell me about this?

- Where did you get that?

- From your bag.

Why didn't you tell

me this happened?

- I don't know.

- Do you think i

wouldn't find out?

- I, I really didn't

think about it.

- I mean, this is crazy.

This is so cool.

I can't believe you wouldn't

have mentioned this before.

- I don't know.

I really, really don't

think it's that big a deal.

- It's a really big deal.

- You don't have

to apologize to me.

You should just be more excited

when things like this happen.

- No, you're right.

You hit him?

- No, I mean,

i didn't hit him.

I like shoved him.

- But like, hard?

- Uh, well, kind of.

Okay, we were

standing at the bar,

and Josh was saying

something that I

like really didn't agree with,

and so I chimed in,

so I started speaking

loudly, you know what I mean?

- Right.

Oh, I'm okay.

Um, do you want some of this,

'cause it's really good.

- No.

- All right.

- Are you really

not gonna have any?

- Yeah, I mean, I'd like to,

but I just, I've been

sleeping so much better

since I stopped.

- I know, but it's not

like you have to get up

for an audition

tomorrow morning.

Come on.

- Okay, just a little bit.

A little.

- Okay.

- A little bit--

- these are very small glasses.

- That is not a little bit.

Um, was Henry there?

- Where?

What, at the bar?

to participate in the

conversation in the first place,

and so I was doing that,

i was just joining in,

and Josh was like,

oh, okay, just,

"first of all, can

you calm down?"

- That's so annoying.

- Right?

If I was a boy, no one would

be telling me to calm down.

- True.

- Oh, come on, Beth.

Has anyone ever told you

to calm down in your life?

Exactly.

Anyways, yeah,

so I could feel myself

getting like really upset,

but I stopped myself,

'cause I was like, no, no,

this is your

boyfriend's manager.

You can't like,

so, I walked away, 'cause

i was about to cry,

and,

then he comes after me.

- Yes, and I'm

like, "Josh, listen.

"I have a really bad temper.

"I need you to give

me some space, okay?"

"Okay, fine, but you know,

you don't have to walk away

"like a prima Donna."

- Oh my god.

- Like, what?

And he just kept saying

that, like prima Donna,

prima Donna, prima Donna.

- That is awful.

- Yeah, and so, of course,

I started like

hysterically crying,

and I was so upset that yes,
