- No, you guys are so cute.

We could still be cute.

You gotta transfer these, they gonna get ruined.

- They all stretched out.

- Look at this. It's fine.

- Exciting, wasn't it?

- What? Life with no money?

Strangers working off our couch?

- Yeah...

- No hot water?

- Being creative.

- Cockroaches.

- Being spontaneous.

- Noise.

- Being inspired.

- Pre-science.

Don't you think?

Oh, honey every eight months is the same old...

If I get the chair...

I think we should think about the city again.

- I think it would be... inspirational.

- Even if that happens, we making more

money, we still won't have

enough money to sell this house.

I don't think you understand that stuff.

Do you know how much apartments go for right now?

They are well over a million dollars.

A million dollars!

We have to invest, I just think we need to

be able to have a conversation about it.

I just think that we had a life that was cut short.

- Cause we had a baby, you call that cut short?

- Yeah, we had a baby.

I thought we would be expanding our lives.

Sure, but she's not a baby anymore.

She's gonna move out of home soon.

We talked about the fact that when she was

old enough we could reconsider the city.

Yeah, if we could afford it, we can't..

This feel like we're not even discussing it.

Shouldn't you be practicing

for your audition tomorrow?

Yeah..

You should.

Oh we're doing it for the birthday girl.

So wish her Happy Birthday.

- Happy eighteen!

- Yeah..!

Hey.

- How 's it going?

- Okay.

Could I pinch a cigarrette from you, please?

Of course.

Thank you.

- How's Lauren been?

- Great, yeah.

Yeah, she's great.

It's very nice of her to give up half her bedroom.

It's not like she's giving up that much.

You like living here?

Yeah, I love being so close to the interstate.

I go in all the time, so...

I'd just like to go into Manhattan

at some point, I think.

And you just met these dudes the night before?

Are you telling the story about how you

lost your maidenhead riding horseback?

No!

You're so gross!

Okay.

Do you think.. are you going to be sick again?

Do you think...

what you wanna do?

Are you feeling a bit better?

Yeah, I just feel tired.

Did you talk to Aaron tonight?

I did, a little bit.

Did you know that I had sex with him?

- Did you lose your...

- Yes.

You should make sure that he is nice to you.

He told everybody that we had sex,

and he told me he wasn't going to.

And now everybody thinks I am a slut and I'm not.

And I have like, not even hook up with any guys.

Are you a virgin?

Nope.

- Hey.

- Hi.

How are you doing?

Good.

Nervous.

Sit down.

Why?

Just sit down.

Close your eyes.

You have to take off your glasses.

Sit up straight.

And relax your shoulders...

and relax your neck.

And breathe in through your nose...

and out through your mouth.

Breathe in...

and out...

and... and out.

How does it feel?

Better...

My uncle used to say...

don't let fear become your profession.

- It's good advice.

- Keith!

Bonjour...

Good luck.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

- It was okay.

- Mm hm.

When are you next playing with the orchestra?

Friday.

- And maybe Saturday, huh?

- On Saturday too?

Can you let me know if you want a ride down.

We could come and watch you play.

Yeah, well that'll be good.

It would be nice to see him with everyone else.

It's incredible, I mean that... it really is.

Yeah, I guess, yeah.

- What are you playing?

- Which pieces?

We have a number, Schumann, Bet, Mozart...

Brahms, sounds incredible.

Yeah, I bet.

Great Friday.

How I wish we had a piano.

Are you sure you have?

Hey!

Oh my God!

Wow.

Hi Sheldon, nice to see you.

- I'm glad you came.

- Of course, we wouldn't miss it.

I think we'd genuinely enjoy it tonight.

Yeah, what's going on?

- Thank you.

- Oh yeah... I'm sorry about this.

Oh yes...

I've corrupted him.

Again?

- Wow...

- Hey so Sheldon, this is Sophie.

She's a... she's one of my student

Nice to meet you.

Exchange student from the UK

and an amazing piano player.

She knocks this Chopin piece out of a part.

What was it?

It was the...

It's actually one of his warm up pieces

but it is so extraordinary that

you can play as a concert piece.

Chopin...

Have you studied a long time?

Many years.

I would think, Chopin, well.

- That's great! Congratulations.

- Thank you!

You'll have to play for us some night.

- Yeah, I'd love too.

- The front row.

- Yeah, that would be great!

Lauren, you also play too?

Don't you like to ...?

- No...

- I'm sorry.

- Lauren is champion swimmer.

She's incredible.

Swimming, that's right.

- He brags about you all the time.

- Yeah.

Are you sure you don't want to come?

You don't have to be concerned,

I don't feel like going.

- I don't feel left out or whatever.

- I know... I hope, I'm not.

I don't wanna...

I think it's gonna be really strange, me and Aaron.

He said that he was going to be a group of us.

I don't want to be offending

you by going with your person...

Sophie! Sophie!

Ok... I really don't care.

I don't know how many

ways to tell you that, you know.

Well... I'm not going to force

you if you don't want to come.

Thank you.

On to your wrist.

- What do you want?

- Let me get a vodka soda, please.

These are from my cousin, he runs the place.

- That's very kind of you.

- No, it's going to make it a lot of fun.

What time is everyone else staying?

- What?

- What time is everyone else staying here?

Just us.

Just us tonight.

- How much is that?

- Twenty-three.

Thank you.

Thank you... see you on Monday.

Ok...

You looked great all night.

I mean you're so sexy at that club.

- This isn't like a "thing."

- Aren't expecting to be a thing. It's ok.

Ok, I have to focus.

Aaron! Aaron!

Aaron! Aaron!

Aaron, Aaron it's okay.

Don't pull my hair.

Close the door, will ya?

Pleae stop it man.

Oh, f***!

Don't slip, don't trip.

- Do you want tea?

- I'm gonna have a beer.

Beer?

Can I have a beer?

Do you know what time they'll be back?

It depends... how many girls...

they ask to ferry home, I guess.

Why don't you want to play?

That's what I want to know.

That's the big question, isn't it?

- Why do I want to play?

- Why don't you want to play!

I don't know... I want to choose to play,

I don't wanna do it because I can.

I mean, you're incredible.

How long have you played?

I started training when I was five,

So pretty long time.

John, my uncle got me into the piano,

while he was a teacher and a pianist and I started.

He would play in the house and

I just kept running up to him.
