What?!

Hi... I called about

the apartment.

Sh*t.

I forgot.

Sh*t, hang on.

Come on in!

You know I'm just showing

the apartment, right?

Yeah, I just got here.

Great.

Bathroom; Kitchen;

Living room;

My room;

Empty room.

Sorry about that.

I'm Lana!

Kate.

It's nice.

Yeah, um...

so, I don't need any references

and I won't run a credit check.

That's what you

said on the phone.

So here's the room.

I used to use it

as an office but...

so you said you

just moved to the city?

Yeah.

From where?

Utah.

So do you have a job or what?

No, but I'll find one.

And I can pay

the security deposit

and the first month's

rent in cash.

Are you a serial killer?

No.

That's been happening a lot.

I have NO idea what

they're doing up there.

Okay.

Okay what?

Do you want the room?

Are you a serial killer?

Look, my ex-boyfriend

just moved out

and Friday's the first

of the month

and the woman who came

to look at the room

yesterday had a ferret

who took a sh*t

on my couch so...

if you want the room,

it's yours.

Whatever.

Uh, yeah.

Great.

Okay.

You probably shouldn't

be carrying around

this much cash in New York.

I'm really excited

to live in Brooklyn.

You know this

is south Brooklyn,

it's not like Williamsburg

or, whatever.

I've wanted to

live here my whole life.

So, are you an actress?

No.

Yeah... uh...

make yourself at home.

I'll be in my room

if you need anything.

Okay.

Good morning.

Do you not work?

No.

Oh.

You didn't say

you were a smoker.

I'm not.

Excuse me?

Uh... I wanted to interview

for the waitressing job?

Thanks.

Are you the owner?

No.

Hey gorgeous,

sorry to keep you waiting,

it'll just be two more seconds.

Oh, no, Tommy, take your time.

Seriously.

Okay.

Hey.

Do you think it's going

to be a really big problem

that I don't have any

waitressing experience?

Nice dress.

Thank you.

Where are you from?

Uh, Utah.

Utah?

Wow.

Your shoes are amazing.

Aww! Thank you!

Good luck with the job.

Hey Utah?

How long have

you been in the city?

Five days.

Wow.

Well, a bunch of us

are going to be

hanging out on the

lower east side tonight.

Maybe I can introduce

you to some people.

Great!

Natasha.

Come into my office,

young lady.

Ten o'clock.

Text me.

Oh, uh, Kate?

No, I'm Lana.

I just moved in.

Oh, I am Joe, the super.

Hi.

I'm so, so, so sorry.

Could you turn down the music?

Oh, yeah.

It's uh... yes.

I'm sorry.

Somebody call.

Yes, I'm sorry.

No problem, just somebody call.

- Okay... thanks.

- Geoff here?

No?

He moved out.

They get married?

No?

I don't think so.

Oh, she have baby?

No?

No.

Oh... okay.

Turn it down.

Okay, thanks.

Kate?

Kate?

Can you turn down the music?

The super came;

Somebody complained.

Hi Natasha?

It's Lana.

We met at the

restaurant earlier?

I'm at the address you gave me.

Uh... so call me!

Okay, bye.

Hey?

Club's there.

Oh, okay.

Oh, Natasha!

Hey!

It's Lana!

Lana, hi!

Hi! It's good to see you!

Are you okay?

Yeah, no, I'm fine,

it's just f***ing Tommy

bailed on me, a**hole.

Oh... um, this

place looks cool.

Yeah, it's amazing, right?

I thought you

said ten o'clock...

So how are you?

Did you meet anyone

in New York yet?

Oh, no.

Um... I thought you

were going to introduce me.

He looks like he

wants to get to know you.

Oh, yeah.

We're on the list.

Hey.

How's it going?

We're going in here.

DJ's lame.

We're headed out.

Oh yeah?

Where you headed?

Hey guys,

I'll catch ya later.

Yeah, have fun.

Why don't you get us a cab?

Wait a minute,

I thought that we were...

You look so hot.

I'll call you!

That's a beautiful dress.

We could go back to my place.

Yeah... uh...

Hot.

What's the matter

with your mouth?

I just get jaw tension.

You should relax.

Rough night?

Are you alright?

What?

It's 7am.

I have job interviews

all day but I'm going

to be home tonight.

Just so you know.

Hi Natasha, it's Lana.

I just wanted to make sure we

got home alright last night.

I would love if we

could hang out sometime.

Okay. Uh, call me.

Bye.

Kate?

Yeah?

Would you move your

stuff out of the kitchen?

I need to make dinner.

Just give me like...

twenty minutes.

Could you do it now?

I'm really hungry.

Hello, Mom?

Hello?

Oh my God.

Mom!

Momma!

No!

Momma!

Oh my God!

What did you do?!

Mom!

Hello?

Lana?

Natasha?

Are you okay?

No, they took my purse,

and I can't find my keys!

I don't know where I am!

Why don't you come over?

I don't know where you live!

Yeah, no, no,

I'll text you the address.

Hey...

Hi.

I thought they took

my purse but...

then I found it again!

Come on in.

Sorry.

It's okay.

I'm so sorry for

coming over like this.

Oh!

It's just, I don't think

that I have my keys.

Hey, what are friends for!

Oh God. God!

What is that awful music?

Oh, um...

I'm sorry, I...

I took some Molly.

I feel like sh*t.

It's okay.

I'll take care of you.

Let me get you some water.

Can I use your bathroom?

Oh yeah,

it's the door on the left.

Oh, no, no, no,

it's not that one!

Holy sh*t, man,

are you burning yourself?

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you?!

She's my friend.

Nice!

You need to get her

the hell out

of my apartment!

It's my apartment too.

Hey, what's your name?

Natasha.

Hey, Natasha,

get out of my apartment!

What kind of psycho

tries to burn them self?

Get out!

Sh*t.

She's clearly really f***ed up.

You can't say that!

Chill out!

I'm so, so, sorry about this.

I got her in a cab.

Thanks.

You have awesome

taste in friends.

Just throw them out,

they're really shitty anyway.

I saw the razor.

Look, you don't

want to get into this.

I lost my mom.

Right before I moved

to New York.

She killed herself.

I have another job interview

today but I'll see you tonight?

Okay.

I got a job.

At a chocolate restaurant.

Yay!

Let's get you into bed.

You scared me!

You cook.

Yeah.

Do you?

No...

Geoff, my ex, did.

He was a really good cook.

Did you, uh... put me in bed?

That's embarrassing.

It's fine.

I saw your photos.

You're very talented.

Please stay out of my room.

I was putting in bed.

Do you still take pictures?

No.

Why not?

I don't think my

camera still works...

I don't even know where it is.

You mostly paint now?

Oh... no.

I'm not a painter.

That was me just...

wigging out.

Those deserved to be

thrown up on.

I really can't even say

how sorry I am about that.

They were terrible.

You're a better photographer.

You should have some of this!

No.

Mop up that alcohol?

What do you do now?

Um... I'm a financial

consultant.

Or... was.

It's complicated.

I've always wanted

to have my picture taken.

What do you...

No, I mean, for real.

Okay...

I think that when

you see a photo of someone,

you can kind of tell

who they are.

So, why do you need

a photo of yourself?

Oh my God.

I've been living off ramen and

takeout since Geoff left.

Mmm...

Mmm... thank you.

You can't just stay home

for the rest of your life!
