overthinking everything.

Let's not get into this agai...

When seeing how sustaining the stimulus

could increase the challenges when

trying to normalize monetary policy.

It can also lead to financial instability

and expose open ec...

- Yes, yes, I did.

- Ha-ha-ha.

- I think I'm gonna switch to coffee.

- Coffee? I thought you didn't like coffee.

Well, I don't love it,

but I need something stronger.

- Do you want another cappuccino?

- I'll get it.

No, no. Let me. You got the last one.

All right. Thanks.

- Hi, can I have two cappuccinos?

- Yeah, I'll bring it over.

- He's gonna bring it over.

- Thanks.

So I'm going to this dance party thing

on the lower east side tonight...

- if you wanna come with.

- Oh, that sounds fun. But I have plans.

If your plans fall through

or if you change your mind...

I'm a pretty good dancer, so...

Wow, that was amazing.

They were just so small.

Yeah, I know.

- Such small movements.

- In Ireland, it's a techno...

- In Ireland?

- It's an underground Irelish sect.

- Irelish.

- Yeah. It's English and Irish together.

Oh, that's great. Oh, my gosh.

And they wear electronic kilts and stuff.

- That sounds really weird, but that's...

- Yeah, but it's cool.

- You should definitely check it out.

- So you like to wear skirts?

- They're not skirts.

- They look like skirts.

They're electronic dance blankets.

- Dance blankets? Okay.

- Yeah.

Nice move.

Keep it up.

- Hello?

- I'm looking for Ms. Taylor.

- Emma Taylor, right?

- Yeah.

Here you go. I just need you to sign here.

- Thanks, have a good one.

- Thank you.

No.

You didn't sign up for anything?

Sometimes they send stuff from

orientation, welcome gifts or whatever.

No, I mean, there's nothing else

in the box.

There is no letter, no pamphlet, nothing.

Am I crazy?

- Well, it's a free razor.

- Yeah.

Watch me get billed in a couple weeks.

I have to take a picture of this.

This is so funny.

You need to get that hat.

Okay, you're gonna put on this hat.

Here's what my grandmother would take.

- Is that good?

- Oh, so good.

- Room temperature.

- Scale of one to 10.

- 7.3. 8.3.

- 7.3?

- 8.3.

- See?

Now you can go like this.

Can you see my mouth...

Beginner. Interme...

Nice work.

Keep it up.

Hello?

- Hello?

- Hey.

Alex?

Yeah, what,

did you forget my voice already?

Why are you calling me

from a blocked number?

Because you don't answer my calls.

All I wanna do is say hi,

see how New York is.

Okay. I told you I needed space.

Oh, what, I'm smothering you again?

You are unbelievable.

You act like I'm the bad guy. You're

the one who was seeing other people.

For the last time, Alex, I wasn't seeing

anyone. And we were on a break.

Okay, whatever. I'm over it. I'm just

calling to see how everything's going.

Alex, we can't keep doing this.

We can't keep talking like this.

I can't even call you to say hi?

So were we nothing then?

Like we never happened?

Look, we've been over this before.

I just need to focus on myself right now.

And maybe somewhere down the line

we can be friends...

but for now I just really need my space.

So you move to New York

and just forget everything else?

Okay, fine.

I'll just f***ing forget you too.

Have a nice f***ing life, Emma.

So mature.

- How's Dad? Is he around?

- No. He'll be back on Friday.

- Oh, right. He's in Chicago, right?

- Yeah, for the conference.

But... oh, honey, you're breaking up.

How about you? Feel like a New Yorker?

I'm doing so good. It's so amazing here.

I feel like I have a whole new sense

of freedom.

Oh, and I hung out with that guy,

Michael, yesterday.

We went all over New York.

But we didn't do, like, touristy stuff,

so it was really nice.

You sound great, Em.

So happy to see you like this.

It's like the old Emma.

Listen, I know I said

you might not be ready for this...

and things were a little tense with us

when you left, but I was wrong.

I'm sorry about all that.

I am proud of you.

Oh, Mom. I wanna hug you right now.

I know, me...

I wanna hug you right now.

Hug you right now.

Hug you... hug you right now.

Stop doing that. You're insane. I can't.

Oh, my God. Alex, what are you doing?

Happy birthday, Emma.

It's Emma's birthday.

It's my birthday too.

All right.

I just got home,

so I'll call you later, okay?

- Wait, all your photos are gone?

- No, not all of them. Just certain ones.

I mean, ones with me and Alex, and

Michael, and I don't know what else.

- Does Alex have your password?

- No.

And he would never do something like this.

I don't know.

- Are you in my photo albums?

- Yeah.

- They're not in there, right?

- No.

Maybe their server

got messed up or something.

You're sure no one else has your password?

No. I'm really careful about that stuff.

- Wait. They just got back to me.

- What'd they say?

Oh, God. I have to change

all of my passwords now.

But you know what?

I think I can make an exception for you.

- Just don't tell anyone. Okay?

- Okay.

I really appreciate it.

This thing is, like, my life.

Oh, my God. Of course.

Let's see. Is there anything else?

Oh, yeah, I'm gonna need

the administrative password...

and your social security number,

and that was just a dumb joke.

- I don't know why I said that.

- Okay.

I'm just... yeah, but I'm gonna need

definitely the password.

Yeah, yeah. Hold on.

Let me just write it down.

- Oh, I'm Greg, by the way.

- Oh, yeah. Hi, I'm Emma.

- Emma, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- And thank you again so much.

- Oh, yeah. It's no problem.

- Should I close that?

- Oh, yeah. If you want to.

Okay.

And it was only, like,

certain photos that were gone.

What was it, then?

I don't know. My laptop was fine though.

There's no viruses or anything...

so I just have to be extra careful

with my passwords now.

That's super sketchy.

I'm changing my passwords too.

- Okay. I'm here. I'll see you later.

- Have fun.

Yeah, definitely.

And with all the grants and everything,

it should be pretty easy to get a job.

I don't know, it's just super fascinating.

I mean, so much is gonna change

in the next 10 to 20 years.

- Yeah. Also, robots.

- Ha-ha-ha. Yes. Robots.

Mm-hm.

That's my roommate. He's pretty hilarious.

You should meet him. Kent?

Kent, come in here.

He probably has his headphones in.

Ah! Ha-ha-ha. Oh, sh*t. I'm sorry.

I didn't realize that you had company.

- You're an a**hole.

- You should've seen your face, though.

It was so sweet. I'm sorry. I'm Kent.

I'm Michael's roommate.

- Emma. Nice to meet you.

- Not cool.

Oh, come on, chill out.

Oh, do you guys go to school together?

- Yeah, we're in the same class.

- Oh, economicals. Cool. Very cool.

- Do you go to school?

- No, I'm a bartender.

I actually bartend a few blocks away.

You should come in.

Free shots on me. You can come too.

Oh, thank you. That's the first time

you're hooking me up. That's so nice.

Okay. Well, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
