For a Good Time, Call... Page #2
Could you die'?
Literally,
could you die?
Hardwood floors, the windows,
Gramercy Park is right out there
and it's
a historical landmark.
Katie's grandmother
got this place in the '40s.
She was a knitting maven.
Oh. And a stripper, too, I see.
What is that?
You don't need to
judge my bubbie.
Honey, no one's
judging anybody's bubbie.
You know what?
Katherine, why don't you tell Lauren
I'm gonna go get some Monster
because I'm a little...
Look at me, I'm shaking.
I'm a little low energy.
I'll be right back, okay?
You want some lo mein?
No.
Okay. I'll throw it away
or put it in the fridge'?
I don't care.
Okay.
Well, this is
an apartment.
I'm sure you're familiar with
what that is structurally.
This is a living room.
That's a dining room.
There's a chair.
That's a lamp.
Grandma, and down the
hall is my room.
a very private person
and across the hall
is Bubbie's room.
She died in there.
Let's go see your bedroom.
Come on. Come on.
Don't go in my room!
I said it was private!
And you can hang
all your pictures.
Okay, now don't mind the odor.
It's a bit pungent.
That's Bubbie.
She's still lingering,
but that'll be gone.
It'll be dissipated.
Look at this, though.
Look at this personal space.
Invaluable in New York, right?
This is a bedroom, or is it?
Or is it a dance studio? I don't
know, there's so much space here.
I mean, can you believe this?
And the closet space?
Forget the windows, the windows
It's like living
on the sun!
These hardwood floors,
if there was a knot in the floor
big enough for my ding-dong,
I would f***
the sh*t out of them.
Good. Good. How could you trick me?
You know I hate her.
'Cause you need a place to
stay and she needs a roommate.
I don't want to.
I know.
Fine. Okay.
Okay.
The place is amazing.
You're right, okay? Right?
Yes, the windows are huge,
the floors are lovely, okay'?
What is that?
Is that a pedicure chair?
It is for my back.
Okay, it's for her back.
She's got a bad back.
What is all this sh*t?
I don't know.
Stop touching
Bubbie's things!
Okay, you, you,
let's go, outside.
Don't touch it!
In the hallway.
Conference, family conference.
Get over here.
Yeah, I know, pouting!
We're gonna take a walk.
B*tch one and b*tch two, go. I
need a minute of your time, okay?
A minute where
you are just neutral
and you're not
judging each other
and you're not holding
onto all this sh*t.
Close your eyes, close your eyes.
Open your hearts, please.
Indulge me. Please.
Oh, god bless you!
Thank you, Katherine.
You guys, together,
could take this place
from nursing home
to "let's nurse some
cocktails at home," right?
I'm talking about a trip to Design
Within Reach led by Lauren,
street-art done by Katie,
I'm talking about getting rid of
that floral print monstrosity,
taking it outside, pissing
on it and burning it,
and then you know what, we'll
replace it with something simple,
something from...
I don't know.
Now, I want you to open your
eyes on the count of three.
And I want you to
see your new home.
And I don't want you to
thank me right away,
but overtime, yes, I think
I'm owed a little thanks.
One, two, three.
I release you.
It does sound like
a nice place to live.
Yeah, almost as nice as that neighborhood
you left me in so I could get raped.
What?
You were raped?
- No, but I could have been.
- God!
Why can't my friends
be f***in' friends?
Whenever I smell urine,
it reminds me
of the time
you peed in my hair.
Oh! There was a bump! What do
you want me to say about it?
There was no bump!
Okay, stop it!
You two hate each other
for no reason!
I am so sick and tired of
living like a child of divorce.
Why don't you
just live together
for the summer?
See how it goes?
Okay.
Lauren, honey,
I have a question.
Where are you
sleeping tonight?
'Cause it's not at my place.
I have that Peruvian boy
coming over from the gym.
And, Katherine,
may I remind you
that your most
promising applicant
has been that woman
that looked like Ted Danson
and could not
stop queefing?
Do you want that? Hmm?
You two,
my gorgeous angels,
are about to be homeless
in Washington Square Park
over a f***ing party foul.
And I don't like to give out spare
change, so you're on your own.
Hey, can you
watch my stuff?
I'd love to.
Thanks.
I was thinking
about that barf color
you have on the walls
of your living room,
and I thought this dove gray would
actually really open up the space.
You get two walls,
I get two walls.
Welcome home.
Great.
How much for the lamp?
$10.
I'm moving
your chair out of my room!
Oh, my God, yeah.
I love the way you feel.
You feel so good. Yeah.
Ooh, I do like when you
tickle my boobies like that.
Tickle my boobies.
Tickle them.
Hey,
can I get in there?
I just really
have to pee and then
I have to get ready
for work. I'll be so fast.
All right.
I don't care. Come in.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Where do you work that
requires so much makeup?
I'm just doing a lot of
writing, being super creative.
Did you have someone
over here last night?
It's none
of your business.
But yes.
Okay.
Oh, my God, Lauren.
Sounds like
somebody has a UTI.
You can't hear a UTI.
I'd invest in some cranberry
juice if I were you.
Okay, fine, you know what? You pee in
cups in cars while they're moving.
Ooh. I like
a little fire in you.
Katie,
there's no toilet paper.
Katie,
there's no toilet paper.
What? I can't hear you!
I'm running late! Bye!
I have to let you go.
I'm old. I'm tired.
And let's face it, it's time
You're smart.
That's why I hired you.
And that's why you're gonna be
great out there on your own.
I thought I would take over when you retired.
What about your clients?
You're gonna be great
out there on your own.
Work is good.
It's just...
...really busy.
Sweetie, tell us some more
about the new place.
We've been dying to come over and
help you set it up. I mean...
Yeah, just give us a good
time and we'll come over.
Did you eat
all my hot dog buns?
I'm on the phone!
They're kosher!
I know you stole my lamp!
What?
What'd you say?
Sorry, Dad.
The apartment is spectacular.
My roommate is whatever.
Well, you won't have to live
with this person for long, honey.
Charlie will come back.
They always do.
But, sweetie, lock up Grandma's pearls.
We don't know this girl.
Buongiorno! It's Charlie. I
can't get to my phone right now
because I'm probably doing
something awesome in Italy,
but I'll get back to you
as soon as I can. Ciao!
Is this your job?
No.
Yes, you have paint all over
your face and also on your body.
Take a seat. Come on.
You got to sit down to have
your nails done, so...
So you're not a writer?
Like I said, I'm creative, so I
