all this bullshit?

Who the hell knows?

Let's just have fun tonight, okay?

- We need to get our drink on.

- Yeah, I need to clear my head.

I don't know why I've been

talking about this.

Exactly.

How does this look?

Hot.

Okay, you ready?

Can you take a picture of us?

- You girls want a picture?

- Yeah.

All right, say "gorgeous."

- Wait, it's not working.

- Let me see.

Let me put my number in first,

it's the least I can do.

Give me the phone.

I don't want your number.

Just so you have it, you know.

You can call me anytime. And done.

- Do not tell me this works on other girls.

- I won't.

Okay, well, we'll call you later

so you have our number too.

Oh, I just deleted your number. Weird.

- Oh, my God.

- Let's go.

Let's eat something. I guess

we're on our way, but we can probably...

- I want a muffin.

- Mm.

A muffin.

I have it all over me. This cab is moving.

- Now it's like an old lady.

- It's moving.

I'll make you look f***ing fabulous.

I'm gonna do a song for everybody, but...

Your laugh is killing me right now.

F***.

Two rings, you let down, got that?

One ring up, two rings down.

- One for up, two for down.

- Beautiful.

Glad I got through fifth grade...

so I can understand these

very, very complicated procedures.

He's not very used to lions.

Good-for-nothings.

How about you, my little friend?

Nicole, I just got home

and my door wasn't locked.

I never do that. Should I call the cops?

Wait, hold on. Maybe you left it

unlocked in a rush or something?

I don't think so. Sh*t, I don't remember.

- Where are you now?

- I'm outside.

Okay, take a deep breath.

You wanna just pop your head in?

- I'll stay on the phone.

- Okay.

- Everything all right?

- Yeah.

- Everything looks fine.

- Okay, that's good.

- You all right?

- I don't know.

Okay, I'm just gonna check

the rest of the apartment.

Okay.

God, I probably just left it unlocked.

Does anything feel weird in there?

I'm not sure, I'm still looking around.

Do you want me to just come over?

You sound kind of freaked out,

I feel like I could help.

Hold on one second.

- Just stay with me, okay?

- Okay.

Emma? Emma?

Emma, are you there? Emma!

- Hey, sorry, I dropped my phone.

- Holy f***ing Christ.

Everything's fine, nothing's missing.

You scared the f***ing sh*t out of me.

I'm probably just crazy. I just...

I've been so stressed out lately.

Crazy easy, really rich and nice.

Just brush it on, good to go.

Second one we're gonna make,

whole-grain mustard, some sage...

and a little bit of rice wine vinegar.

Again, maybe one part:

Mustard, one part honey.

A teaspoon, tablespoon of rice wi...

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I mean, how'd you get up here?

Someone let me in,

but I brought you something.

- Is that a cat?

- Is this a cat, what?

No. Maybe.

God, I don't believe you.

- I know it seems crazy...

- Yeah, it is crazy.

Well, I thought you could use

some company, you know...

something to help

take your mind off of things.

They said you could take

a day or two with him...

and see if you guys are a good fit.

His name is Clover.

Clover, I want you to meet Emma. Yeah.

This is your new roommate.

- Clover, come here. Come here.

- Come here.

Clover. Come here, bud.

Oh, he's using the restroom.

Potty trained.

He's using the bathroom.

Make sure to put the seat up

when you're done. Or down.

- Down. You train them so fast.

- I know. I'm the cat whisperer.

- You think you're really clever, don't you?

- What? Me? No.

Okay, what am I supposed to do?

I'm not supposed to be paranoid?

No, I completely get it. Honestly, I do.

You know, I actually got you

something else.

I was hoping maybe you could go

to the ballet with me.

Thank you.

Get it, Clover.

Come here.

Hey.

Hey, Emma, look,

I don't want you to get freaked out...

but I just got a threat.

- Wait, what?

- An e-mail.

I think it's the same person

that's been harassing you.

Michael, what do you mean?

It's from my own e-mail, which is crazy

because I just changed the password.

It says, "do not talk to her again.

You are nothing, you are nobody.

You do not know what I'm capable of."

Um...

I'm gonna call the police.

There's nobody you can think of

that might be inclined...

to do something like this?

- Maybe an ex-boyfriend?

- No.

That's the problem,

it's been anonymous this whole time.

Okay. There's a number you can call

to get a copy of the report.

Let us know if anything else happens.

That's it?

There's not much we can do.

A crime wasn't committed.

There's no aggravated harassment.

If it escalates, you can call us again.

Look, my friend Michael

has been threatened.

Ma'am, I'm sorry. I understand your

frustration, but this isn't a credible threat.

We get calls like this all the time.

We can't pursue every one of them.

I just don't feel safe.

It's probably some 14-year-old shithead

in South Dakota...

who has nothing better to do.

I wouldn't let it freak you out too much.

I mean, it's weird, but...

He decided to mess with me randomly?

I mean, how did they get my number?

Someone banged on my door

in the middle of the night, remember?

I am so paranoid now.

I just feel like some freak

is gonna grab me wherever I go.

Oh, honey, it's definitely creepy...

but who knows

if that's the same person, right?

I mean, the banging on the door thing,

that could be an accident...

or some drunk idiot maybe?

I know you're freaked out, I get it.

Thank you so much for everything.

That's what I do.

And if anything else happens, I'm gonna

go out there and kick their ass.

All right, I just got home,

so I'll talk to you later, okay?

- Don't forget.

- All right.

Clover?

Hey there, you got Michael.

Leave a message.

Hi, Michael, please call me

as soon as you can.

Oh, honey, the cat was from the shelter.

It could have been sick. Who knows?

He was fine when I left him.

He was running around, he was eating.

I just... I don't understand.

He could have choked

on something, that's not your fault.

God, why is all this happening to me?

- What do you mean, "all this"?

- What's going on?

Emma, is something else going on?

No, no, I'm fine.

No, I don't think you're fine, Emma.

I can tell when something's wrong.

- Is it school?

- Come on, Emma.

Look, I didn't wanna tell you guys

because I don't wanna worry you.

- What?

- I think that someone's been stalking me.

- Stalking? What?

- What?

What do you mean?

I've been getting calls and e-mails,

and my friend Michael was threatened.

- Threatened?

- What do you mean, threatened?

Emma! Why didn't you tell us this?

Because I thought that...

I don't know, I thought that I could

figure this out on my own.

- Honey.

- I just...

- I didn't want you guys to worry about me.

- We're flying out there.

We'll find you a new place

to move. We're gonna talk to the po...

Hey there, you got Michael,

leave a message.

- We're flying out there.

- We'll find you a new place to move.
