Kate?

Your mom won't stop

calling me because

you won't even

return her phone calls.

Why is she calling you?

That's not the point!

I think maybe

it will be a good idea

for you to talk to someone.

Oh, who... someone?

You... someone?

No, like...

Just because I don't

want to be with you

doesn't mean

I need to see a shrink.

I love you.

We can still be a family.

Okay!

I just want you to be okay.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

You must be?

Lana, we met before.

Can we just talk about this?

I don't know what else

there is to say.

Fine.

Look, just call me

if you need anything.

Enjoy the croissant.

It was nice to meet you.

He seems nice.

You want a croissant?

What are you doing up there?!

Maybe I do need therapy.

Therapy's where people

send you when they

can't be bothered

to help you themselves.

Who said that?

No one.

You know he's

actually really great.

He's really f***ing nice to me.

I'm supposed to be

going to work but...

I can call out.

No... don't do that.

It's not your job

to take care of me.

I'm really sorry

about your mom.

That must have

been really shitty.

Hang on.

There wasn't really

anything wrong with it

but they did clean

up the lens a little bit.

What?!

What is all this?

It's just a couple

of things I picked up.

They're for you.

Lana, this is way too much.

I have a job now.

Yeah, as a hostess.

I make good tips.

You don't have to use them.

No, no, thank you... very much.

I was... that was really

sweet of you.

You're my first friend

in New York.

Are we friends?

Sorry!

I'm sorry.

Let's go on an adventure.

Where?

Bring your camera.

You always wear that scarf.

My mom used to

have one just like it.

Do you mind

if I ask what happened?

You don't have to...

It's fine.

Um...

I came home one day

and the house was quiet.

It was weirdly quiet.

And...

when I got to

the living room...

she was there.

You found her?

How did she...?

She slit her wrists.

Do you miss her?

All the time.

Who keeps calling you?

Someone I don't

want to talk to.

From home?

My mom.

You don't like your mom?

Uh, she made me

grow up in New Jersey.

Let's go get drunk.

No.

Don't you want

to experience reality?

Not really.

This is my favourite place

in the whole world.

You're a really nice person.

You don't meet too many

of those in New York.

I think you're nice too.

Yeah...

You must be the new guy.

The one we always hear

banging around up there?

What?

We're 2B?

Oh!

Sorry.

I'm Massi.

Kate.

This is my room-mate, Lana.

Do they only let beautiful

people live in 2B?

Yeah, there's a

clause in the lease.

Well, if you ever

need a cup of sugar,

you know where to find me.

Do you want some tea?

Thank you.

You photograph very well.

You're very pretty.

Thanks.

They're very beautiful.

That should be your job.

How far along were you?

You were gonna

have a baby, right?

How did you...?

The super said something.

Um...

Five months.

What happened?

Um... I...

I started bleeding, um,

a little bit.

And then I started

bleeding a lot and...

then, by the time

we got to the doctor's

the next morning,

there was no heartbeat and...

and... then they had

to take it out.

I'm so sorry.

Sh*t happens.

Were you trying?

No... no.

You guys were gonna

get married?

Yeah.

Why didn't you?

What is this, 20 questions?

I don't know.

He got sad.

I got mean.

I wouldn't have sex

with him anymore

and it just kind of...

exploded.

F*** him, you know.

It's okay, it's okay...

it's okay, it's okay.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay... it's fine.

Hey, it's fine. It's fine.

It's okay. It's okay.

I couldn't remember if

you liked your eggs

totally cooked,

or a little runny.

You're all dressed up?

Where are you going?

Back to work!

Oh!

Yeah, I emailed my

boss two days ago

and he's letting me come back.

Oh, thank you!

I thought you

were going to think

about going back

to photography?

Oh my God.

That doesn't pay the rent.

But you hated that job.

Um, are you working

at the restaurant tonight?

No.

Shall I come meet

you after work?

I might be late.

Why don't I bring home

dinner to celebrate?

Great.

No, no, I'll do it.

Thank you.

Okay!

Bye.

Bye!

Get your shoes!

Hello.

How'd it go?

It was boring.

I brought home dinner.

I liked him first.

I'm so sorry.

I was joking!

God, why would I do that?

Have you seen him?

I think a lot of people would.

You liked him

and I slept with him.

I met him once in the hallway.

I can move out if you want.

Why would I want

you to move out

because of some guy?

You're not moving out!

Are you sure?

Yes!

I don't have to see him again.

See him again!

I mean, I'm not going

to be responsible

for f***ing up your

relationship too.

He's nice.

He has his own wine company.

A hot foreign guy

with his own wine company.

I mean, he sounds made up.

Now this sauce is

almost perfect.

We have the garlic,

the tomatoes,

the onions.

I forgot the cheese!

Okay, add a little cheese.

Sprinkle.

Hey!

Hi!

Smells great.

Mmm...

Mmm... mmm...

Come eat!

I'm fine.

Have a good night.

Hey!

I didn't mean to make you sad.

I know, it's just,

Geoff and...

I can stop if it's too much.

No, no, no,

it's just me being dumb.

Can we hangout tomorrow?

Yeah.

Good.

Oh!

You crazy girl!

That's a good thing,

like nobody else.

Why is everyone I work

with such a douchebag?

It just makes me want

to punch everyone

in the face all the time.

I wish you'd stop smoking.

I'm not smoking,

I'm quitting.

Don't be mad.

I called him.

What?!

I got his number

off your phone,

I'm sorry,

I called him.

Why would...

Come on.

Come on in!

I can't be everything

for you, Katie.

Lana...

I don't want you to be sad

about me and Massi.

You love him!

Do you still love her?

Yeah.

Well then you have to try!

Can you believe her?

Just talk about it.

We're having a picnic

on Saturday...

you should come.

Why did you leave Argentina?

Things were messy there.

What are you thinking

so hard about?

Do you miss your family?

Sometimes.

I've got you now.

Move in with me.

With you?

And Kate?

And leave that whole two-bedroom

that I have all to myself?

Let's not mess this up.

I like being around you.

Bye.

Where's Geoff?

He left.

You shouldn't have called him.

Why not?

It's none of your business.

It's some of my business,

you're my friend.

You deal with your sh*t;

I'll deal with mine.

Yeah, that was going

so well for you before.

I'm just trying to help.

He's coming on Saturday.

So, do you bottle

the wine yourself, or?

No, we just import it.

Wow, that's really cool.

It's something to do.

Can I have a grape?

Geoff is a great

graphic designer.

Oh yeah?

Not really...

I work at a coffee bar

in Williamsburg.

He's good... that's how we met.

Freshman year art class.

Yeah, okay, don't

get all sentimental on me.

Katie's an amazing

photographer.

She is!

I guess we're the only
