Because!

"The architecture fit my body!"

That makes complete sense to me.

I mean you've been to Paris,

haven't you?

- You have to go.

- Seriously?

Maybe because you're married

I shouldn't bring it up...

Hello!

I'm sorry?

Are you just gonna light up

a cigarette without asking

if anyone's offended

or anything?

Oh, I'm sorry,

does that bother you? The smoke?

No! It doesn't bother me

if you smoke!

No that's great, be comfortable!

Make yourself at home!

I'm gonna get comfortable too!

I'm gonna get comfortable too!

- Lily!

- It's great!

We're all comfortable now!

Everybody kick back and relax.

This is great.

Kick off your shoes.

Have a good time!

I think that

we should get going.

You guys don't have to go.

Thank you. We'll do this

again another time.

- Alright...

- Bye, Lily.

- See ya, Mary.

- Thank you...

See you around!

I'm so sorry, Lily, I apologize.

Thank you...

That's a real fun night.

Yeah?

Ahhhh...

I made an ass

out of myself last night.

Is Aaron upset?

I don't know if he's upset

so much as disappointed.

You know, I embarrassed him

in front of his friends.

What do you think's going on?

I mean, are you okay?

Not really.

I feel like I should be cause

everybody's so happy

for me right now.

They keep congratulating me

that treatments almost over,

but I don't feel happy about it.

I mean I feel like treatment

was kind of the easy part.

God, I gotta find a job.

I have to start making money.

I have to think about

if I ever want kids.

- Aaron's just getting older!

- Okay...

I've got eggs

stored in a freezer!

- I'm hungover!

- Okay, that's a lot of stuff!

You can't figure all that

out at once.

That would make me

feel crazy too.

It'd make anyone feel crazy.

Just pick one thing to start

with.

Did you go and see Patrick yet?

No...

- Well...

- No, no...

Well that's one thing

that you can do.

It's not easy,

but you do that one thing,

and then that leads

to the next thing...

Before you know it...

you're doin' things.

Hi...

So they wanted me to go in

and fill out papers,

I'm not filling out

any papers...

I just found that kitten

in the street just now.

It might be yours.

It was only a few blocks

away from the ASPCA.

But they wanted me to go in

and then file some papers...

File some papers?

Get the hell outta here!

What?

Are they outta their minds?

I was thinking about keeping it

and taking it to you...

What color was it?

It had like a tiger stripe,

but brown and black.

It was a cute kitten, man.

Lemme call you back, alright?

- Lemme call you back.

- I'll talk to you.

Hi, I was wondering

if Patrick is here?

Patrick.

Oh, Lily.

- Hey!

- Hey!

- How are you?

- Good. How's it goin'?

- Good, good. C'mon back.

- Okay, thanks.

- Nice to see you.

- Good to see you too.

I actually saw Emily the other

day and asked about you.

I know! She told me you guys

ran into each other.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Well, come on back.

Have a seat please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Wow! That's really nice!

Yeah, so that's the same artist

that's out front:

Jessica Dickenson.

And this work was actually done

entirely on the back.

So what you're seeing

is basically

what's bleeding

through the surface.

That's so cool.

She's really doing well in

galleries.

Thankfully doing well, so...

What brings you here?

I guess I just wanna know...

Are you hiring here? Or do

you need help in the gallery?

Or an assistant?

A job for you?

Yeah.

Are you still making work?

I am actually.

I've been working a lot lately.

Yeah.

Well, I just...

Hope you can understand

it's kinda awkward

that you'd be asking me

for a job.

I understand that you need

to make ends meet and stuff,

but I just feel like it's

such a misuse of your talent

to be working

some administrative job here.

I feel like I'd be doing

you a favor, actually,

if I didn't offer you a job.

And, I hope

you can understand, you know?

Hey! Chill out dude!

What the f*** is your problem?

Where are you going?

You scared the sh*t out of me!

- F*** off, lady!

- You f*** off!

Good for you!

A**hole! You're stuck in

traffic now, you look stupid.

You believe this?

Well, you see on Broadway...

This f***ing crazy guy

honking his horn like a nut!

You should go see how they block

off. Every day they blockoff.

It's f***ing crazy!

Yeah, you're right!

Everybody's crazy!

Yeah!

Well, I got this a**hole

honking at me!

And now he's stuck in traffic!

Schmuck!

God!

- Hey!

- Oh, Lily!

- Dylan!

- Lily! Oh my God!

I can't believe you're here!

You made it. You made it.

It's so great to see you,

it's so great to see you.

- It's good to see you too!

- How you doing? Good?

- Alright.

- Awesome.

Do you want a drink?

- Water?

- Water?

- Yeah water.

- Is that what you drink now?

- That's my thing!

- Water's my thing too!

Water or I drink olive oil too,

but tonight I'm drinking water.

So I'll join you in the water.

Have you seen Emily?

Because I don't like to leave

the house and so I invite them.

But I don't even want to

see them! They just come here!

And then you come in here!

No, then I take what I call

"the chosen ones"...

Oh wow!

And then I invite them

into my realm.

- But I've always been like...

- Private party...?

I've always been like this,

even when I was a kid.

I would lock the door and my

parents would bang on the door,

and they would try and get in

and I'd say,

"You can't come in,

this is my sacred place!"

Finally they'd say,

"We don't care about your sacred

place, you're grounded!

They tried way too hard and

they could never get it right.

And as a result,

we're not even that close.

But you must be close

to your parents

My dad, I haven't even talked to

him in years so I feel like...

Even now?

Like with all this stuff?

No! We haven't talked in years.

Years!

I know but this is like...

You can't...

Lily, this is some real sh*t,

you know?

I know, but what do, you just

call somebody

you haven't talked to

in so long and say,

"Oh hey, it's been awhile.

I have cancer. "

- You haven't called him?

- No.

You should call him for money!

I mean how are you gonna

pay your bills?

How can you not tell your dad?

I've been thinking about

telling him cause

I feel like

it's kind of ridiculous...

It is kind of ridiculous

that you haven't told him.

I know, but...

And not to mention

it's kind of ridiculous that you

continue to wear that wig.

Is it ridiculous?

Kind of!

I know "this" is ridiculous

and doesn't look like my hair.

No it doesn't.

- But it's so...

- You.

Different from what you guys,

no! My hair underneath!

So she has hair

underneath the wig?

Because when you get radiation,

it starts to grow back.

It's when you're on chemo that

it falls out

and it's not growing.

- Are you a magician...?

- Is it anything like this?

It can't be worse

than this, right?

Look! And this is genetic.

I didn't have to go to the

hospital to get this to happen.
