Ow, you're hurting me. Stop it!

What's wrong? Don't you

see the grime in there?

Just do it like

this. Clean. Yeah.

I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?

No, I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

Are you free right now?

Can I take you to get a late night

snack or something like that?

I know this great cafe,

it's just right down the block.

Yeah, would be great.

I'm starving actually.

I want to go to the bathroom

first though, okay?

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I thought we had this

good vibe going,

so you know, why

wait until later?

Come on, let's just

go get some food...

You know, have a drink.

Oh, no, no, I'm done drinking.

(music)

Modern love

Walks on by

Modern love

Walks beside me

Modern love

Modern love

walks on by...

Hey! Hey wait!

Hey, listen didn't you say

would go back to your place?

We're done here, all right?

Just take a taxi.

No, no, no come on.

You must be starving.

I make really good eggs.

What are you doing?

I said we're f***ing

done. All right?

(gentle music)

(muttering)

She comes in here

walks around, makes it dirty.

There's nobody here,

but you and me. Shhh...

No! Don't suffocate me!

It's gonna be okay...

Stop it! Don't.

I keep my eyes down

to the ground

(moaning)

I won't look

you in the eye

I'm back.

Ready for a glass

of Hudson Valley's finest?

I won't look

you in the eye

Cause I don't know if you

smile or if you bite

No, no. This is my cardboard.

You can't have it.

This is my cardboard. You go and

you find your own cardboard.

No way out for us

No way out for us

I'm afraid there's

no way out for us

No way out for us

No way out for us

It's in the air,

it's in the water

It's in the air,

it's in your heart

It's in the air,

it's in the water

It's in the air,

it's in your mind

No way out

No way out

No way out

(knocking on door)

Shhh!

(crying)

F***!

It's okay. I told

her she could come.

Oh, it's okay?

It's okay?

What the f*** is wrong with you?

Oh my God, don't hit her!

(Cece) Babe!

(James) F***!)

(Cece) Babe, it's

okay, alright?

She's only going to be here

for a little while.

Nothing to get too

excited over.

Why don't you

just lay down?

Come on. Come on.

(gentle music)

F***.

You don't like me

very much, do you?

I don't like being here.

Hey, guess what? The

feeling is mutual.

I don't like you being here.

If I had anywhere else to go,

trust me I wouldn't be.

Poor Chrissie doesn't

have anywhere to go.

Well, I didn't used to have

somewhere to go either.

How did someone like you manage

to get a place anyway?

Don't worry about it. I did.

Whatever.

Someday I'm gonna get lucky.

Oh yeah?

Hold on a sec, where you going?

You're gonna get lucky?

You have to make your own luck.

Yeah. This is New York City.

Do you know how

many opportunities

there are for young good

looking people like yourself?

No, I don't want to hear it.

And I know the kind of sh*t

you and Cece do on the street.

And let me tell you

something, Chrissie,

if that is your

real name...

you don't have to do anything

you don't want to do

to get a place to

sleep for the night.

You're a tourist.

I don't know why you're

running around with Cece for.

Okay, so I'm not going

to let you in my house anymore

I'm not going to open

the door for you.

Okay, you f***ed up

because you're not taking care

of what you need to

be taking care of.

Okay?

Now get me my box

will you please?

Whatever.

Unbelievable.

Here.

Thank you.

My name's not Chrissie.

Do you want to know what it is?

I would love to know.

It's Katie. Katie Jo.

Stupid name.

No it's a good name.

Katie Jo.

(sighs)

Katie Jo. That's a

good name. Katie Jo.

Katie Jo.

Wait. Wait...

(groaning)

(grunting)

Shhhhh. Shhhh. Shhh.

(Cece) Chrissie?

Chrissie?!

What?

(Cece) I don't think

he's breathing.

I think he might have OD'd

in the middle of the night.

Sh*t.

What are we gonna do?

I'm so sorry, okay.

I'm so sorry.

(crying)

You said that he's

got no other family?

Nope.

They're all dead.

Cece, if we call the

police right now

who do you think they're

gonna to blame?

The little homeless girls who

were here when it happened.

Then they're gonna

take this place

and they're gonna turn

it over to the city.

Cece, we could lose this place.

What?

I know he meant

something to you, okay?

I know.

But look around you.

This place is our f***ing dream.

We can do something with this.

I mean, we can make this work.

(eerie music)

Hey.

Hey.

You didn't have to meet me.

I could have found it, you know.

I wanted to though.

- Come on.

- Oh, all right.

Come on!

Come on!

Slow down, slow down, I'm tired.

We can chill when we

get there. Come on.

What?

I don't know.

You're being weird.

I don't know, Callie.

David, you're freaking me out...

Do you do porn?

Excuse me?

Avi sent me this video

and don't try to

tell me it's not you

because it is you in this like...

trashy teal wig

which you totally mentioned

was a thing with your ex...

So I don't know that

fits into it but...

it's you, and you're

like getting...

crazy f***ed.

And then Avi also said he found

this whole wad of cash in your bag

and that he thinks

that you're like...

a hooker or something.

I want to be cool with that

I really do, but...

So I'm just a trashy porn star

prostitute hooker?

That's what's

wrong with you.

No, Callie. Callie!

No, you know what? It is me

in that video David

and f*** you, I can't believe that

you would be a on a site like that!

Wait, What?!

No, Stop! Callie, stop!

It's revenge porn, David.

It only ruined my whole

f***ing life okay?

I was a teenager

I had this older boyfriend, and

he made me do all kinds of sh*t

that you wouldn't even

want to know about!

I didn't know that.

Yeah 'cause you

didn't f***ing ask.

Well, look I wasn't

watching it, ok?

Do you know what my parents

said when they found out?

They said that I'm unsaveable.

I can't believe that you would

think I'm a hooker.

I thought we had something.

We do! We do. I just

let Avi get to me.

And that perv actually

went through my bag?

I make cash under the table

at the comedy club.

Can we please start over?

Please, just forget

about it, okay?

Please, I am an idiot, okay?

I promise I'll make

this up to you.

(gentle music)

Today

Just like any

other day

We wake up

Wow.

Yeah.

So...

This is your place?

It is.

Oh, this is my roommate Cece.

Hi, it's nice to meet you.

I've heard a lot about you.

Yeah, nice to meet you too.

I don't mean to be a pain

but do you mind taking

off your shoes?

(David) Oh, no worries.

Outside dirt, you know.

(David) Yeah, of

course, of course.

This place is great.

You think?

Yeah.

I can't believe you

kept it a secret.

Well it wasn't all

my fault I mean...

you didn't want to come

this far into Brooklyn.

Listen guys, I'm on my way out

to meet a friend

but you guys have fun, and I'll

see you later for the fireworks?

Okay bye.

(singing)

Hey!

I brought you a present.
