were being used

in, you know,

you guys' heyday,

and now it's like

you took us out to dinner

and were like,

"Order everything you want.

Like, lobster tail, dessert,

it's on us."

And then you guys

snuck off to the bathroom

and never came back.

And, like, money

doesn't exist anymore.

-It was just a different time.

-But what's the solution?

After our natural

resources have gone,

it's just all gone.

There has to be a--

Jesus! You have a dark

view of the world.

-My God!

I'm just saying.

New York City, it's like

all these buildings

that are so tall and beautiful.

But people are gonna be,

like, fighting for trees.

Hey, do you wanna

dance with me?

That sounds

like a good idea.

I'm a little bit...

That sounds like

the perfect idea

to get your mind off of the...

Come on, let's go dance.

Go do it.

Shake a leg.

-Yeah.

Come on, now.

Go shake a leg.

Yeah.

-Okay.

Okay!

All right!

Can you guys watch

my jacket, though?

We'll watch your

natural resources over here.

Ha-ha! That's nice.

I'm Sergio.

Hi. Sergio, yeah.

I'm, I'm Naima.

You can call me Nima.

-Nima?

-Nima, yeah.

-You okay?

-Yeah.

I liked your show.

Maxine.

Wait, do you...

These were all your dogs?

Yeah, I foster them.

And then I find...

These are the final owners.

Like, the happy owners?

-Yeah.

I love you.

Do you like dogs?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Yeah, they're great.

It's okay if you don't.

What happened

to your friend?

She was

on a date, though.

-It was going well.

-Oh, cool.

Give me kiss.

Oh, I'm scared,

it went through my...

Five, four and go

Everybody's watching

Go, we're judging you

No pressure

Go

The explosively talented

Go

-We do this all the time.

-Yeah.

We barely know you

Go

Anything.

I haven't been to the dentist

In over seven years

But I think that's okay

I feel truly superhuman

Every day

So good.

If I said right now

What I really meant

I guess I'd fall

Right down the stairs

And touch your head

I would really love

To touch your head right now

I would really...

We weren't officially

together or anything,

but it just felt good.

And then, she kind of,

in one swoop,

was, like, pretending

like were just friends

who had never shared

this intimate moment.

Then I pulled back,

because I guess

I don't wanna get hurt

or something.

Susanna has always, um...

Who's Susanna?

-My mom.

-Oh, your mom. Right, right.

Um, she has always

said to me,

try not to go

for the easy thing.

Like, everyone is doing this,

why you should do the same?

And that works in love.

You can't play it safe in love.
