Wow!

I hope you know you just ruined

every little girl's childhood.

Yeah, well life kind

of does that anyways,

so I don't feel bad.

(police sirens)

(knocking on door)

James?

(knocking on door)

Do we have to do

this every time?

(James) Shut up.

Jesus.

No one's here.

The government isn't here.

No one gives a f*** about you.

Oh no one gives a

f*** about me now?

Besides me. You know I do.

Stop it.

Take your shoes off.

Take your shoes off.

Don't forget your phone.

I thought maybe I

could keep it out.

- Chrissie is on a date with this guy...

- What?

She said she would text me.

I don't even wanna

hear that girl's name.

Why are you hanging

out with that girl?

Because she's my friend.

No, she's not your friend.

She's a f***ing tourist.

Cece, she's using you.

Oh my God! No she's not!

She needs me, she's clueless.

No! That's f***ing bullshit.

Put the phone in the box or go.

Put your phone in there.

- What's so hard to understand?!

- Okay, okay.

(Cece) Fine, fine. Forget it.

What's going on

with the windows?

So...

where was childhood

ruined for you?

Um, middle of nowhere. Ohio.

Boring. You?

Long Island. Also boring.

Son of Dr. and Mrs. Rosenberg.

Last in my Hebrew class,

much to their disappointment.

Oh you couldn't beat me in the

disappointing your parents' department.

Ah, sounds intriguing.

I guess if you are interested in

converting the world to evangelicalism.

Praise Jesus!

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

They moved to Africa actually

to save the unconverted.

Whoa, you're kidding?

Nuh-huh. So sorry if I don't

introduce you to mom anytime soon.

Ah, parents love me.

Well, 'cause you're charming.

But mine aren't.

Um...

but hey, why don't you tell me

more about the branding world?

It's pretty great actually.

I'm working on this new spot

for this local whiskey called

"Moon Drill" that's made Upstate;

I'm heading up there pretty soon

to present the idea

and get a green light.

That's awesome.

Yeah, yeah I mean

it's really great

going into work and

loving what you do.

I feel really lucky.

I'd settle for making money,

f*** happiness.

You mean, there isn't anything

you want to do

that could make you money

and also make you happy?

Doesn't mean I don't believe in

being happy.

I'm happy now.

Did you bring it?

I thought maybe we could

just have a quiet

night, you know?

Stop it. Can I have my stuff?

Just hold off for a bit.

It's in the bag, just

hold off, come on.

Are you f***ing retarded?!

You can't hear anything? What?

No! What?

What happened to your face?

I put on some makeup.

That's what that is?

What's wrong?

(James) Okay.

Come on get up. Come on,

let's go paint. Let's paint.

We're going to paint!

Get in there! I need

you to painting.

Okay, come on go.

Get up. Thank you.

Okay, you just take some of this

and get right there

and you paint the window...

the glass! the glass!

Yeah, good, good.

Move over.

(snorts)

One more.

Get in there. Get in there.

Yeah lick it, lick it.

This place is amazing. I would

kill for something like this.

Yeah? I'm thinking about moving

out, getting a one bedroom.

I mean I love Avi,

but just never

have my own space.

This is huge though.

Yeah, but never lived on my own,

Can't beat the privacy,

just me... a pretty girl...

(gentle music)

Hey, do you play, the keyboard?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I dabble, mainly just write

jingles for my commercials.

I used to play.

- Yeah?

- Mhm.

Play something.

No, my mom always was like,

"You got no talent for that

devil music, girl."

You're like really honest

for a first date.

Is that bad?

No! I mean, it's refreshing.

Weird but refreshing.

You should play something,

get back on the horse.

I think the horse

is dead by now.

Play for me. Your

audience awaits.

Okay, but I only remember

how to play one thing

and you're going to laugh.

(sighs)

(laughs)

So you're a Disney girl?

Yeah.

Oh, you liked that?

Yeah, I liked that.

(upbeat music)

(moaning)

(moaning)

She was the girl with

the string around her neck

came with the boy who

could only give her less

It could be more if she

learned to never expect

now if she, it's her and

him and then a baby's next

Hey...

I'm ordering Chinese food,

do you want something?

Um, fried rice.

Chicken or vegetable?

Vegetable.

(upbeat music)

(moaning)

and was the traitor's father's

father's father's father

Made him go and give back

to his country

He gave his both knees, he's

overseas to fight the disease

It's spreading fast over

maps and it don't look back

When you're living

in a dreamworld

Living in a

dreamworld

You're living

in a dreamworld

When you're living

in a dreamworld

(moaning)

When you're living

in a dreamworld

You're living in

a dreamworld

You're living in

a dreamworld

When you're living

in a dreamworld

What?

Nothing.

There's just something about

watching you

do the same thing every night,

it...

it makes the chaos go away.

So my glasses make

everything balanced?

Mhm, you have very

smart glasses.

(laughing)

Let's watch Game of Thrones.

I haven't seen it.

Are you kidding me?!

No.

Are you kidding me?

No, I've never seen it.

Okay, alright, we are

watching the pilot

right now.

Prepare to have your

mind blown, okay?

I'm prepared.

Blow my mind.

(HBO intro)

(Game of Thrones theme song)

What do you need?

Oh, I was just looking for a

Ziploc. For the sandwich...

It's like nine in the morning.

Yeah for later.

Oh don't you have like...

a lunch break or whatever?

Look man, I didn't mean

to steal your food or anything,

I just saw some

stuff in the fridge

and I thought, you

know, Monday's suck.

Yeah.

Here.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm going to get

out of here, okay.

Wait for me, I'll get dressed,

and I'll come with you.

(Chrissie) No, I want to get

out of the way,

but see you tonight?

Can we make it tomorrow

night actually?

I'm working late tonight.

What?

Nothing, see you tomorrow.

(mocking girl voice) Ah, David,

see you tomorrow.

Tomorrow, ah.

Shut up.

Question, did you ever make a

sandwich after spending the night

at a girl's place to take

with you for later?

I don't know, but I clogged a

girl's toilet once accidentally.

I didn't tell her.

That is so sweet.

Yeah.

Dude, she's not like

a one night stand.

Yeah, I know, I mean

she's been here for days.

I'm just saying maybe you could

eat her roommates' food,

or annoy someone else

with the loud sex.

She's seems kind of wild.

She's not your typical blonde

uptight type, you know?

Yeah, but I got

burned with Jessica.

Maybe she's just the

kind of girl I need.

All right, all right,

cheers to that.

I support you.

Thank you.

You don't look good.

F***! Yes! Tampons.

Maybe this month I don't have to shove

Starbucks napkins up my snatch.

What the f***! I don't shoot!

Okay.

What you so bougie now

that you got a boyfriend

you going to get all judge-y?

No, I just didn't hear

from you for a few days,
