homework assignment completed

that Dorsey assigned us to.

This is very

exciting for me.

- Maybe for you...

- We want to report...

My job and my

responsibility, David,

- is to report to Dorsey and keep her posted...

- [elevator dings]

...on how everything goes that we

observe at the Brooklyn Bridge.

- We have to make this plan.

- [elevator dings]

We were the one

that committed.

We have to stick

to our commitments

and plan properly.

Bye.

David, we have to make...

We're not planning properly.

We have

to plan properly, David.

See you later.

Have a nice life.

[saxophone playing]

- Hi.

- Hi.

- You must be Angie.

- David?

- I'm David. That's right.

- So nice to meet you.

- It's great to meet you.

- I didn't know

if you were gonna

recognize me from the website.

You look even more beautiful than...

in person than on your profile.

Oh, my God. [laughs]

Thank you.

Oh, my gosh, sorry.

I'm usually not this nervous, but, you

know, I rarely meet nice, normal, guys.

Thank you.

Thanks.

- Um, so, do you want anything to eat or anything?

- Uh-uh.

You seem hungry or nervous

or something...

- No, I'm on this no-carb diet.

- Mmm.

So that's all you.

Did you know that milk

had carbs in them?

- Wow, milk had carbs.

- Yeah.

So, I'm excited about

this U2 concert tonight...

Yes, me too! I love U2!

- I love Bono. I'm obsessed with him...

- Yes...

I know everything about him,

like his date of birth:

May 10, 1960.

- Whoa, 1960...

- Yeah.

You kind of look

like him a little bit.

[Irish accent] Hello, hello!

[laughs]

- Yeah, the glasses...

- That's good.

That's good.

Um, do you always

keep your sunglasses on?

Sorry.

[snorts] Aah!

[snorts] Aah!

It's my allergies.

- Do you need a napkin?

- [grunts]

No, I just...

So, um,

you into sports at all?

- Um, sort of.

- You heard of Kobe Bryant?

Yeah, this morning,

he was traded to the LA Rapers.

I'm sorry.

That wasn't funny.

I got a funnier one.

[imitating Bill Cosby] "My two favorite

things:
Jell-O pudding and rape."

I'm just gonna run

to the bathroom.

Aah!

Excuse me. I'm sorry. Excuse me.

Sorry.

Angie!

Anj!

Hi.

[rock music playing, faint]

[key taps]

[key taps]

[sighs]

[keys tapping]

[beeps]

[exhales sharply]

[muffled crying, yelling]

Such a f***ing bum!

F***ing bum!

[woman]

Welcome to Drama Therapy.

[man] I'm so happy

to be here, Delilah.

[Delilah] Excellent.

So, this summer, we're actually gonna

be working towards a performance.

- [man] Really?

- [Sarah] Ooh!

- [woman 2] Ooh!

- [Delilah] Yes.

[Sarah] Ooh, wow!

Yeah, and what

we're gonna be doing

is we're going to be

exploring who we are.

And then we're gonna be able

to show that to the world.

And so one of the things

we're gonna do this summer

is we're going to create our performance

around the idea of superheroes.

[man, Sarah] Ooh!

[Delilah] So what I want you

guys to be thinking about,

think about, if you had a superhero

power, what would it be?

- [man] I love it.

- [Sarah] I love it!

- [woman 2] That is fantastic!

- [woman 3] Great idea!

[man] I love it. It's just

what I've wanted for years.

David. What happened?

- What?

- You missed our homework assignment.

What homework assignment?

Remember, we were supposed to write

a report about the Brooklyn Bridge.

Look, how about this? Why don't

we do this professionally, okay?

I'm going to pay you money

to do this.

I mean, you want money.

How much do you want, 20?

David, that's

not the assignment.

You're giving me

a really hard time

which is completely not okay,

completely unacceptable.

- [siren wailing]

- Look, David, if you're not gonna cooperate with me

and contribute

to your fair share,

I'm going to advocate myself

and speak my mind to Dorsey,

'cause this is

completely unacceptable.

Okay, you want to go

to the Brooklyn Bridge?

We'll go

to the Brooklyn Bridge, okay?

We'll go to

the Brooklyn Bridge, okay?

Will that get you off my case?

- What does "off your case" mean?

- Will you be satisfied?

It means you'll be satisfied!

Very much so.

Taxi!

[Sarah] Um, I find it

really, really scary.

I feel so much

safer on the bus.

And the only way to get home to my grandmother's

home, safe and sound, is the bus.

And taxis are so expensive and

I find them so nerve-racking.

What are you Rain Man

or something?

I mean, you have to have

a system for everything.

Uh, gotta go to Kmart,

41 Oak Street, lights at 11:00.

Don't you just want to live without

going according to the system,

without sticking

to the line once?

Believe me, I took the bus once.

It was a messed-up

experience for me.

I mean, I got on the bus.

It was goddamn crowded.

I felt like a sardine.

Then when I sat down,

this homeless guy got up to me

and started harassing

the sh*t out of me.

And I felt like yelling out

"hobophobic" slurs.

Not homophobic, "hobophobic."

What's "hobophobic"?

It's a phobia against bums.

Look, it's one thing if you want

to take the bus by yourself.

You can do whatever the hell

you want on your own.

But when you're with me,

let's take a cab.

I mean, buses are for paupers,

and cabs are for the prince

and the princess.

You know, why don't you just sit

back, lay back and enjoy the ride.

Okay.

How much

do I owe you, sir?

[driver] 7.50.

Here you go, $20.

Keep the change.

Come on.

[pedestrians chattering]

[Sarah]

Come on! Come join me, David!

I'm having a wonderful time!

My first time ever

at the Brooklyn Bridge!

It's a gorgeous

bird's-eye view!

[Sarah]

Where are you going, David?

I'm free now.

But how am I getting home?

How do you

usually get home?

I plan to take my bus.

So then, take the bus.

The bus from the JCC

is the only way

I know how to get home

to my grandmother's home safely,

and I count 13 stops.

Oh, Jesus.

How old are you, Sarah?

David, I'm 24.

And how long have you

been living in New York?

I've been living

in New York City my whole life

since I was

a little born child.

So, you mean to tell me you've

been in this town for 24 years

and you don't know how to get to

your grandmother's house from here?

Well, the JCC...

the bus from the JCC

is the only way I know

how to get home.

That's the only way.

[David] You happy now?

I had to take you all the way

back to the JCC bus stop.

I guess you want to take

the bus, we'll take the...

Look, here we go. It's

your bus stop right there.

Okay? Take the bus, okay?

What?

Um...

Uh...

Yeah?

Um, David... Um, David...

- What?

- Um...

W-What about... What about...

What about... What happened?

When are we gonna finish

our homework assignment?

About the Brooklyn Bridge?

We were there all day.

We just did.

But it's not complete.

We're supposed to

write a report about it.

Well, I don't know. Do it

with one of your friends.

But, David, I really feel strongly

about doing this with you.

I really, really

want to do it with you

because I find you
