Everyone hates me.
Listen to this.
"Sasha is bright and skilled"...
That sounds like a compliment.
"But this ability does not seem to be focused
on her work here at Grossman Properties."
I bet you anything
Valerie wrote that.
That b*tch is always
walking by my desk...
asking if I'm
"having a busy day"...
when it's obvious she doesn't think
that I look busy, 'cause I'm not.
Okay, don't focus
on who wrote what. Just...
Are you crazy? I have
to know who wrote what.
Like, who the f*** wrote this?
"Sasha can come across as irritated
when asked to do something."
Who are you?
Can I get a vodka soda with a
splash of cranberry, please?
You need to remember
that this is just your day job.
I know that it sucks and it's boring,
but this is what you wanted.
You wanted something easy and mindless
that you didn't have to think about...
so you could focus
Yeah. No.
I know you're right.
How was your camping trip?
Uh, it... it was really good.
It was... great, actually.
Uh, Tim and I got engaged.
Wait. What? Yeah.
Paige!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
I know.
Can you believe it?
Well, cheers. Wedding.
Yeah! Oh, my God! I know.
It's so crazy, right?
I'm gonna be your best man.
You...
So, you come here often?
Mm. Yeah.
Me and the mozzarella sticks
Well, I hate to break it to you, but
they're kind of seeing somebody else.
I feel so betrayed. We didn't
want you to find out like this.
One time I had
two orders of these.
In one night. Oh.
No, I had one in the parking lot
and then I drove through again.
I'd be too embarrassed.
Yeah, I couldn't really bring myself to make
eye contact with the girl at the window.
What band is this? Oh, this
is my friend Kaya's band.
They're amazing.
I'll bring you a copy. Okay.
I'm actually playing
the drums on the CD.
Oh, no way.
Wow. I didn't know you played.
I am a musician too. Oh.
Well, I'm not really a musician.
I'm mostly a writer, and I've
been drawing a lot lately.
I'm actually working
on a graphic novel.
Mmm!
So are you, like, in a band?
No, not right now. I'm just... working
on writing some songs of my own first.
Nice. I hate it when bands go on
tour with, like, three songs.
Mmm.
Well, it is nice to meet
a fellow artist.
Yeah. I know. You too.
I had no idea.
Jenn never mentioned anything.
Well, Jenn doesn't know
everything about me.
We didn't really date
for that long.
Whoo!
Hey, Sasha.
Ow!
You b*tch. That hurt.
Better be careful.
It's your turn.
We're paying by the hour.
Hey.
That's a really interesting tattoo
that you have. What does it mean?
I don't really
like to talk about it.
Oh. I just figured,
since it was on your neck...
Uh, so, how long have you and
Sasha been seeing each other?
Well, technically three weeks,
but don't tell anyone that.
We don't want anyone
to know yet.
Uh, why?
Uh, just dumb lesbian drama.
Jenn two N's dated Vanessa.
- For, like, a second.
- Yeah, but she would freak out anyway.
But we have a plan. I just
deleted Sasha on Facebook.
Yeah, we're gonna pretend like we don't
really know each other right now.
And then right when we're
ready to tell people,
we're gonna add each other back and
comment on each other's pages like,
oh, we just ran into each other.
I gotcha.
There are some nice houses
around here though.
Yeah, but I don't know. Do you think
the neighborhood's too sketchy?
You think this neighborhood
is sketchy?
Well...
I mean, yeah. There's, like, three
metal detectors in this bowling alley.
That's just the future.
Well, yeah, probably.
Yeah. The schools aren't very
good around here either.
Oh, "the schools."
Just thinking ahead.
Well, whatever you decide, don't
send your kids to private school,
unless you want them to grow up
with a silver spoon up their ass.
Well, what if you live in a
really dangerous neighborhood?
I don't care. I'd still
rather send my kids...
to a public school in the
ghetto than a private school.
All kids that go to private school
turn into conservative douche bags.
Tim went to private school.
I did.
We gotta go.
My dad's locking the gate.
Oh.
Oh, she just had to move back home for a few
months before art school. It's temporary.
Bye.
What the f*** is wrong
with that girl? I'm sorry.
I know you like everyone, and you think
that I'm really judgy, but can you please...
I'm so sick of Sasha wasting
her time with these idiots.
When is she gonna date
an actual adult?
Is everyone she dates that immature?
Vanessa's on the mature side.
Gotcha.
Can you not say "gotcha"?
I'm sorry. It's a pet peeve of mine.
You kind of say it a lot.
Oh. Okay. Sure. Sorry. What am I gonna say
when she asks me what I thought of her?
Uh, just tell her you thought
she was a f***ing b*tch.
Ha-ha. And, you know...
What am I gonna say? "I really
liked her neck tattoo."
You know, don't say anything. I don't
know why you have to get involved.
Just say you're glad she's happy, wait for it
to burn out. Which it most definitely will.
It has to, right? Yes. It will.
So stay out of it.
Yeah, I will. Oh, God, I just want
to sit Sasha down and be like,
"The truth hurts, but as your best
friend, get your life together!"
You know, you have to stop going out all
night and dating girls like this...
and figure out what you
want to do with your life,
because you're gonna wake up one
day, and you're gonna be 35,
and you're gonna have no relationship,
you're gonna have no savings,
all of your friends are gonna be married
with kids and be miles ahead of you,
"and it's gonna feel like sh*t, and
I'm sorry, but that's the reality."
Yeah. That's not
staying out of it.
Well, obviously I'm not gonna
say any of that to her.
You two are
a really cute couple.
Vanessa seems, like, really confident
and, like, very sure of herself.
Yeah, I like her a lot.
That's great.
I'm so happy for you.
So, do you think
it's gonna be serious?
Could you, like, see yourself
ending up with Vanessa?
I don't know. I mean, it's
going really well. Yeah. So...
I mean, I know you don't know
her, but she's really cool.
Oh, I'm sure she is.
But, you know, you guys might be, like, just
too different to really get each other.
What does that mean?
I don't know. Sometimes just
really super creative types...
don't really mesh that well with people
who are more, you know, traditional.
I'm traditional?
No. No, no, no, no, no.
You're just more,
you know, organized.
Vanessa is like
a total free spirit.
You know? Sometimes I'll wake
up in the middle of the night,
and she's up writing down
a dream she just had.
And I've read a few of them.
Oh, my God.
Like, it's incredible.
They're complete stories.
Like, that's just how her brain works.
She dreams in stories.
So, does Vanessa want to be
a writer, like for work?
'Cause she doesn't have
a job right now, right?
