Wanderlust
It's where we want to be.
It's where you want to be,
it's where I want to be...
Honey, that's all I've been saying.
I've been saying that.
I mean, this is New York City.
It's the greatest city on Earth,
and we get to own a part of it.
Or we keep renting.
George, please. It's time
for us to own something.
We're not kids anymore.
It's true. Pros and cons,
one more time. Okay.
Go ahead. Talk it over
again. Okay, good.
Pros. Great neighborhood.
It's a great neighborhood.
A block from Joe's Coffee.
I love that coffee.
It's his favorite coffee.
Best coffee in the city.
Shade-grown, fair trade.
So, that's a pro. Coffee.
Con, money.
You said that we could do this.
I'll feel better once
I get my bonus.
HBO may make an offer
on my documentary.
Well...
Are we done with the pros and cons?
Another con would be space.
You know, it's a studio apartment.
No, it's a microloft.
It's a microloft.
It's written in here that it's a
microloft. We're adults here.
Let's call it what it is.
It's a studio apartment.
It says it somewhere.
I've never even heard
of a microloft.
Does your husband do this?
My husband is blind.
I'm sorry.
No, there's no need to be sorry.
Pierre has been blind since birth.
Good. I mean, not "good,"
but, you know...
Don't worry, it's the only
reality he knows.
But, believe me, he can still
smell the Chanel on my neck.
pain au chocolat
I bake for him from time to time.
He can still hear every stroke as
I brush my hair before
we lie down at night.
And as for touch?
I can get him there with
one flick of the finger.
Okay, I know you're nervous,
but believe me
this neighborhood is a terrific
investment, even in a recession.
It's the West Village.
It's the best. Yeah.
Really the best.
This is where you want to be?
This is where we need to be.
Let's do it!
I'm so sorry. I bet this
happens all the time.
No.
Here we go. Wait.
Wow! Look at all this space!
I got a really big day tomorrow,
and you've got HBO.
I wouldn't mind taking
a sleeping pill.
Oh, no! I can't take Rick right now.
I cannot take your brother.
I'll just... No Rick.
Come on, two minutes. Let's
just get it over with.
It's never two minutes.
Hey, Rick. Ricky licky,
suck my dicky.
Don't hate me 'cause
it's extra thicky.
All right, enough gabbing.
Give me the grand tour.
All right.
That's the kitchen. Small.
That's the bathroom. Small.
That's the bedroom. Small.
That's the tour.
Holy sh*t! Our TV room is twice
the size of your whole place.
Yeah, but you live in Atlanta.
Hi, George. Hey, Linda.
It is alive.
Hi, Marisa. Hi, Marisa.
Hi! You look great!
Thanks. I read this article that
said if you smile all the time,
thinking that you're happy.
Really? Wow.
All right, enough girl gab. I want
to show you the new baby.
New baby?
There she is.
All the bells and whistles, 48
large. And check this out.
If some Jackamo tries
to steal my car,
I got a remote tracker on there.
Tells me where he is,
down to 10 yards.
I go down there, f***ing police
escort, nab the motherf***er.
It's like, "See you in three
to five, ass wipe. You
f***ing towel head. "
going to steal your car?
Hey, don't laugh, this is Atlanta.
We got CNN down here.
I think our connection is
bad. You're breaking up.
I can see you closing the
computer, dipshit.
I got to say, that Marisa,
one lucky lady
because she gets to be
married to him. Yeah.
Know what I want to do? I'm going
to take off that robe and...
It's okay.
Sorry. You're so tired. I know.
What say we break this place
in the old-fashioned way?
Don't fall asleep. Okay.
We can do this. I'm not
going to fall asleep.
Are you ready for your meeting?
Yep. Don't forget to smile.
All right? Your movie is a little bit
heavy, so keep the room light.
Do you not think I'm
a good filmmaker?
That's not what I said.
I think you're great.
I think you're a great children's
book illustrator,
I loved the homemade
ice cream business.
I am familiar with my eclectic
resume, thank you very much.
But, honey, with this film, you
know it, I found my niche.
I can fly. I believe I can fly.
Come on, say it.
Fine, I believe you can fly.
Get off your f***ing phone!
Knock them dead. I'll call
you later. Good luck.
The world is becoming
a terrible place.
Antarctica is home to some of the
world's most beautiful wildlife,
most of whom are dead or dying.
This cute little guy has
testicular cancer.
This little girl's home melted
and her parents sank.
In our hunger for resources,
We are raping them... Stop.
...and then we are murdering them.
Stop. Stop.
It's actually not finished.
I'm getting a very interesting sense
of what you're going for here.
Thank you! There's no way in hell.
We're going to have to pass.
Mmm-hmm.
"Pass"? Yes, "pass. "
But it's An Inconvenient Truth
meets March of the Penguins!
Meets "I want to slit my wrists,
"because this is the most depressing
thing I've ever seen. "
I don't understand.
I think what Marcy
is saying, Linda,
if I'm wrong, Marcy,
I don't want to be off base here.
But what she's saying is that
she wants to slit her wrists
because this piece is depressing.
I got that. Yes.
I see that you're pregnant.
Thank you for noticing. What tipped
you off, my giant belly?
Or can you see my hemorrhoids
where you're standing?
Don't you want your
child to grow up
are penguins?
To be perfectly frank,
f*** the penguins.
I don't think that what Marcy is
saying is to f*** the penguins.
No, it is what I'm saying.
F*** the penguins.
And I love penguins. Uh-huh.
But I have to agree with
Marcy. F*** them.
Java chip sounds like it's
going to be a winner.
How's the new place, man?
Oh, terrific. Super small
and really expensive.
Oh, my God, that does sound good.
Super small and really
expensive? Yeah.
Sometimes you can only get one of
those, but you got both of those.
Yeah, it's a deal. That's great.
How did that happen?
I know.
Reason number 25 I'm not married.
Like I need someone telling me
to buy sh*t I can't afford.
It's all about the Benjamins,
my friend. The Benjamins.
Yeah.
I'll be one of those
guys who's just
old and ugly, rich, has a hot wife.
Like...
Gollum. Not Gollum.
Georgie!
Come see me for a little chat
when you get upstairs.
All right! You got the
point and the wink.
Boss man likes you.
It just doesn't fit the HBO brand.
We do violence and heartache,
but it's sexy.
Mmm-hmm. Do you understand?
Of course. What was I thinking?
You know what we could do?
We could throw some vampires in there
to have sex with the penguins.
And then you could have brooding,
Would that work for your brand?
