Landing Up Page #4

and I was worried.

Tricking someone

into falling in love with you

doesn't make you better

than anyone else here.

Did you tell him you're a little homeless

girl, f***ing him for a warm bed?

It's not like that!

No, that's how it's been before.

Yeah, well this is different.

Cece, look what I got.

(Cece) Those are

some dope kicks .

Mom got them from

the Salvation Army.

Did anyone teach you

how to take care of them?

Nah, I'll just

wear them forever.

I'm going to tell you what I was

lucky to have somebody tell me.

If you are sleeping

in the city shelter,

put the posts of your bed

inside the holes of your shoes,

so no one yanks them

from you. Okay?

Okay.

(Cece) Tell your

mom what I said.

I'll beat anyone who tries

to mess with my shoes.

You're like a tourist

in this world, Chrissie.

You just don't get it.

Yeah, well maybe I didn't grow

up in a shelter like you did,

but I'm here right now

so don't I deserve

just like one minute

of pretending my

life doesn't suck?

I mean, don't you deserve that?

That's a cute bra.

You want my bra too?

Please?

Ugh, fine.

You've got the smallest

tits in the world.

F*** off.

We can't all be like you.

What else can I steal from you?

What's this?

It's David's.

(scoffs)

What?

I was just being bitchy before,

but you know you can't get

too attached, right?

This guy is not your

happily ever after.

How do you know?

Guys like him will never stay

once he finds out who you are.

Well who says he

has to find out?

We are so close to getting

our apartment, Chrissie.

Just focus on that.

Don't let some dumb idea

of love distract you.

Well, what if I

tell him the truth,

and he finds out,

and it's just fine?

People are people, Chrissie.

They don't go around

in rose-colored glasses.

If he passed you

begging on the street,

he wouldn't look twice.

Yeah, yeah I know.

I just...

I just really want it

to last a little longer.

(knock on the door)

Hey Frank.

Chrissie.

(Chrissie) I was hoping

you'd call your friend

at the comedy club,

I want to work.

(Frank) Sure, no problem.

Thanks.

I'm really trying to turn it

around, you know,

any dollar helps.

Sure.

Why don't you close the door.

No problem, thanks.

Chrissie?

(Chrissie) Yeah?

I meant with you inside.

Listen, do you think

we could skip it?

I kind of met someone,

and I don't know what it is yet

like maybe it's nothing,

but I'm kind of

hoping it's something

and I just feel like this would

f*** it up, you know?

Sure Chrissie,

whatever you want.

Thanks Frank.

That doesn't look like

Moon Drill Whiskey.

Hey, Lysi.

Who may I ask

is... Callie?

Don't tell me you met someone?

I don't know yet. Maybe.

Too bad, I thought after

last weekend you'd call.

I mean, I've been busy

writing the copy for Moon Drill.

Oh sure yeah, seems like

you've been really busy.

(David) Well hey,

writer's block is a b*tch.

Get it together.

I'm really looking forward

to heading Upstate with you,

getting drunk on whiskey,

dancing the night away.

Booking a new client that'll

make us a f*** ton of money.

(Lysi) Yeah, money

I could use.

Speaking of which, you're

coming to my show,

closing night

is tomorrow.

(David) Oh sh*t,

yes of course I'll be there.

Good and bring your Callie.

Yeah?

I'll leave tickets

at the box office.

Okay. Thank you.

(gentle music)

Free comedy show?

It's awesome, come,

free comedy show.

There you go.

Free comedy show. Check it out.

Check it out. Free comedy

show down the street!

Hey, are you just

finishing up a shift?

I can take over.

No, I'm just working right now.

Can you please go?

Free comedy show!

Hey listen, Frank actually

gave this job to me,

and we talked about

it this morning.

Oh sh*t, wait you're

Chrissie, right?

Yeah.

Oh girl, Frank told me to say

he's really sorry,

but he gave the f***ing job

to me, alright.

Now get the f*** out of here.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

- I am not f***ing kidding you.

- Give me those fliers!

- B*tch, it's my job!...

- It's my job!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

What's going on?

You're supposed to

be bringing business

not scaring people away.

Hey, Mickey she just said

that she's taking this job,

and that...

(Lara) Free comedy show.

Frank told her to come today.

Yeah, well Frank called and said

Laura was showing up today.

Do you know why?

Look, Frank told me you showed

up wasted at the shelter,

and I shouldn't

trust you anymore.

Are you serious? He said that?

Listen, you did a great job

when you were here

so why don't you

just talk to Frank.

- Yeah.

- Figure it out.

(Chrissie) Yeah, I'll talk to

Frank, I'll figure it out, thanks.

F***!

Yeah, you should've.

There you go, thanks.

(gentle music)

You may think that

you can break me down

Well just because

I like to get low

Doesn't mean I can't

Be strong

I remember when

you told me

It hit you like

a sudden blow to the brain

And your life flashed

before your eyes

And suicide was

so appealing

I never told you that I

understand the feeling

It's all right

It's all right

It's all right

It's all right

You may never

understand me

And you can criticize

me all you like

You will never

know the meaning

When memories will

never leave my body

It's all right

It's all right

It's all right

It's all right

Oh

People like us,

we just survive

People like us,

we just survive

People like us,

we just survive

How are you?

Sh*t.

I'm sorry. I think I left

my wallet at home.

I'm sorry.

It's okay sweetie, I got it.

I feel terrible, I'm so sorry.

Thanks ma'am.

People like us,

we just survive

People like us,

we just survive

Wow, I just have to say

this place is so great.

Oh my God, it's just like...

look at the neighborhood.

(Homeless Woman) Spare,

spare some change.

And we are on

a high floor

so as you can see

we get tons of natural light.

It's gorgeous in the mornings

and this area is

actually great for kids.

There's a park just

down the street

and the schools in this

neighborhood are some of the best.

So if you're thinking

of starting a family

it could be a really great

apartment for you guys.

And there's lots of amenities

in the building.

There's actually a washer and

dryer just down a floor,

so that's very convenient

but this place will probably be

gone by the end of the day, so...

We're very interested.

Great! All you need to move in

is three month's rent.

That's $10,200.00. And tax returns

from the last three years

showing that you make 80 times

the monthly rent.

And if you are interested

do be sure to apply quickly.

We hope to hear from you.

Thank you.

- Have a great day.

- Thank you.

(Realtor) Hello, how are you?

Would you mind just signing in

on this sheet for me here?

- Sure.

- That'd be great, thank you.

As you can see this is a

beautifully renovated apartment.

All new stainless

steel appliances,

great hardwood floors,

the neighborhood is awesome,

lots of bars and restaurants.
