Occupy!

Miles, come on.

Protest! Protest!

Whoa! Whoa!

Jesus.

It was a bit.

A bit gone bad.

Samantha Byrne, you took that bit too far.

You're fired.

I concur. You're fired.

JFK.

Most of us live here.

Oh, really? Jack and Sam

moved out last year.

They have their own place.

Lindsay lives with her parents.

- My parents live with me.

- Yeah, whatever.

This is my room.

Watch your head on the pipe.

Oh.

It's, uh, not huge, but...

Neither am I, so...

What if I threw up

in your mouth?

That's it.

You throw up?

I'd go, "thanks, baby bird."

So weird. You're so...

You're so weird, I love you.

It's too gross even for me.

It's too gross.

I like that you went with it though.

I did.

I like that you went with it.

I like that you went with it.

I need to work on my Irish.

I like that you went for it. No.

That's just a speech impediment.

I thought it was a good show.

Oh, let me show you something.

Look at this.

- Hmm? -I don't know

what you're showing me.

It's called Bucky's.

It looks like a porn house.

It is. I bought it

for practically nothing.

I'll wipe the splooge off the

walls and flip it into a sephora.

Dad, I've told you I'm not

interested in real estate.

All right.

You still giving out

hummus samples?

No. I got a new job.

Great.

Hummus and chips?

No, thank you.

Hummus and chips?

No.

Okay. Follow me.

Like, I'm the most talented

copy editor at my agency,

and they fired me.

What's crazy is,

I don't even need the job.

It's hard to have

wealthy parents, Lindsay.

Can we have another suggestion?

Uh, pen.

Hey, man, I got you

this new pen.

It's actually not a pen.

That's a fish.

And you dumb.

Pause there.

So, good stuff, you guys.

Um, I think what we wanna do

is think in positives.

So Natasha says, "here's a

pen." You might add to that.

You know, "oh, thanks." It's got an

inscription. It says "happy anniversary."

Okay, cool. That's tight if you

wanna be doing improv forever.

But I wanna do weekend live.

Like, how do you do that?

You wait in line, Gary.

You looked good.

It's weekend live!

I'm glad you're keeping score.

It's the sports of comedy. It's the

only live sporting event of comedy.

But comedy isn't a sport.

"It's the sports of comedy."

It shouldn't have winners and losers,

and there shouldn't be points.

They got Gary Cho,

and then it's like, who else?

You know what I mean?

Everybody else is... White.

Even if it wasn't me, there should

be somebody else on this show

that represents another... Different

shades of white, certainly.

Yes, definitely. They've

got eggshell. Ecru.

To ecru to off-white

to almost ochre.

I enjoy ochre performers.

It was good when I was little.
