Apartment Troubles Page #2

Synopsis: This comedy follows two codependent East Village, New York girls, Olivia and Nicole, on the verge of eviction and existential crisis. They're struggling artists, living in a Bohemian apartment. Their electricity has been turned off and they've begun an ill-advised juice fast. To top it all off, they're out of money and too "talented" to come up with the rent. To solve their problems they go to L.A. to visit Nicole's wealthy aunt, Kimberley, the host of a popular reality TV talent show. As Kimberley convinces the girls to audition, the girls struggle to maintain their friendship as Olivia begins to realize she may not be as dependent on Nicole as she once believed.

What kind of question is that?

It's just you're adopted

and they have so much money...

I know I'm adopted.

And IF they've cut you off,

I... I don't know. I'm sorry.

Listen, they're also... they're

petitioning to cut a lot of things!

They're trying to cut...

They're trying to cut

public radio! It's...

Okay, just take a...

Take a few deep breaths.

I think I'm just hungry.

We haven't eaten today.

I forgot the muffins.

Wait. Okay, I have a plan.

We're... we're on

a cleanse right now.

We've already begun it.

You see what I'm saying?

Sort of.

Okay. We have

not eaten today.

This is good.

- Wait, how does this work?

- We're cleansing.

We're just... our pores are just gonna

start letting stuff go when we...

It sounds very affordable.

I have no better ideas.

I think we should do this.

I'm very willing to try

anything you suggest right now

because I'm so starving.

Bob left a juicer here.

I think It's in the hall closet.

Yeah, see IF It's still there.

It's here!

Oh, It's heavy.

You know, I'm sorry about

what I said about your parents.

Olivia.

What?

Is he stuck?

Seagull, are you sleeping?

No. Oh my God.

I know.

It's okay, It's okay.

The Japanese, they call moments

like this mono no aware.

Why are you talking

about Japanese people?

Well, It's ephemerality

and that's a beautiful thing.

Ephemerality sucks.

Oh, seagull.

Do you see that?

What?

There's gold in his mouth.

It's like all the stuff

on your hands.

Why is he covered in gold?!

Olivia!

I've always known

you were selfish,

- but I never thought you would...

- I didn't!

Hate an animal and kill with it

with your own bare, golden hands!

I loved the cat!

You loved the cat?!

I... I didn't hate the cat.

I wouldn't kill.

You were jealous of the pure

love that he had for me.

Sorry, I don't... it...

He is seagull

and he's right here.

He's right here and I loved him.

Could you please call the vet?

Because I think They'll be

able to tell us what to do.

$150 is absurd for a cremation.

This doesn't feel right.

You're just socialized

to feel like this.

When I was in India,

this is how they honor the dead.

You free human souls

on the funeral pyre.

And IF It's good

enough for people...

I want to get out of this city.

I just could use

a break, you know?

I can't be here.

Not in the apartment.

Actually...

My dad has a private jet,

his company, that he's never on.

And, Frank the pilot,

he loves me.

There's a private jet

we could use to get away?

Yeah.

You really think

there's an option?

Check this out.

This is crazy.

- It's a sign.

- What is that?

That's literally a sign.

"That special something.

Do you have

a special talent?"
