Baked in Brooklyn Page #2

We could listen to music,

or we could just, you know,

like, talk to each other

or something.

- [laughs]

Okay, um, that sounds great.

- Okay, awesome.

- See you later.

Bye.

- Awesome.

- Flat screens

bright and white

You sold her everything

she owns

[upbeat rock music]

What goes on upstairs

Business and love affairs

You sold her

Everything she owns

'Cause you make more

than them below

Next year they'll

shut you down

Make more than them below

Soon they'll buy you out

Make more than them below

- [chuckles]

- Hi, ma.

- David, so tell your mama.

Are you dating?

Seeing any girls?

- Ma, please.

- Adult to adult.

- You know I feel weird talking

to you about that kind of stuff.

Could we just

talk about it later?

- Later.

- Yeah, you know.

like later in our lives later.

Everything's fine, re:

girls and me,

but I just, you know,

I feel weird talking

about it with you, so...

- That's what you always say

to me:
"Everything fine, mommy.

Not now, later."

So I say to myself,

"Don't lose hope.

Your boy is going to grow up

and become an adult."

- But I also think I'm not,

like, exactly

an adult yet in that,

you know, I'm only 22,

so I feel like I have

some time to get there.

- When your father was 22,

he was already done

with the Army.

He was already a man.

And I say--

this is really good.

- [laughs]

- Oh, that's good.

[cell phone chimes]

[somber orchestral music]

- Are you sure her actually

living with us is,

like, such a smart idea?

- You mean, like,

for the relationship or, like,

for my creature comforts?

- Relationship.

- Honestly it's not ideal,

but I think the alternative,

which is her living upstate

and commuting is maybe worse

for the relationship, you know?

Like, right now, we're just in

that new relationship sweet spot

where we don't secretly

loathe each other yet,

so I think it could

be fun for us.

But I don't want it to be

annoying for you, you know?

- Yeah.

- Can I speak candidly?

- Do you have to?

I feel like I know

what you're gonna say.

You're gonna say

you don't like it--

- I don't like it,

because you barely know her,

and if she starts acting weird,

you have nowhere to go.

And why does she have

to move in so soon?

- Whoa, nobody said move in.

She's not moving in.

She's staying here.

It's a totally different thing.

- Semantics, David, okay?

After what, after seeing

each other for, like, a month?

What, is she

the hipster grifter?

- The--really?

The hipster grifter?

Dude, you've met her.

You know she's totally normal.

And also she's crazy hot,

and she wants to stay

in my room,

which defies all logic.

So basically there's nothing
