and I am always right.

Ever since he moved in, your

brother and Shelly...

They are becoming

the same person.

No way.

Yeah, okay, maybe.

See, why don't I look like that?

Yeah. Just once I'd like to have the

song New York Groove playing.

Feel like it really

applies to my life.

You've never even been to New York.

That's why I'm applying to New York

colleges.

Do you know if Sarah

Lawrence is actually IN the city?

Your parents would pay for that?

Scholarships, financial aid.

I'll figure it out.

My Mom thinks I can't get in

but she is sorely mistaken

What about terrorism?

Don't be a Republican.

I'm probably just going to go to

City College.

PUT THE MAGAZINE BACK.

Sh*t!

- You doing okay, mama?

- Yeah, that was terrifying?

Wasn't it?

Thank God you were there.

I guess you can't

have pencils anymore.

Yeah, just gotta go back to just felt

tip markers. Crayola

Oh Luis this is for you! I got it

for the baby,

I couldn't resist it.

She loves pink.

- No, it's perfect.

- Okay. Good.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

LADY BIRD YOU BETTER BE DRESSED!

- I AM DRESSED.!

- Yeah

Do you think that Shelly and Miguel

have sex on the pullout couch?

Oh yeah.

Why can't I just make the eggs?

Because you take too long and make a big

mess and then I have to

clean the whole thing up.

Eggs aren't good for the

environment, anyway.

- What?

- You heard her.

Eat quickly, PLEASE.

Look at all these pictures. Every

Shelly and I are trying to be

vegan.

Hence the soy milk.

You wear leather jackets.

But they are Vintage. So they don't

support the industry.

They aren't done, there's white

stuff.

You know how you love Brambles?

Pigs are smarter than him even.

I never thought Brambles

was a genius, okay?

Mom, the eggs are not done!

FINE MAKE YOUR OWN F***ING EGGS.

I WANTED TO.

YOU WON'T LET ME!

- Your sister doesn't like me.

- I'M HUNGRY!

- She does.
