l will see you at your show,

OK, Katherine?

Where are you going?

l thought we could grab

a chicken Caesar at Cozy's.

What?

l said hey.

What do you do?

What do l do?

Writer.

What do you write?

Musicals.

l feel really lame

telling people that...

because it makes me

seem like a queen...

which l don't think l am...

but it wouldn't matter

if l was anyway.

Except, l'm not.

You got a boyfriend?

Would l be here

if l had a boyfriend?

l've got one.

Really?

And where is he?

He's at home.

You want to come over?

We don't live far from here.

l think l see a friend.

You should be dancing up there!

lt's kind of loud!

You could!

You want to?

l know the owner.

No, thanks.

Diet Coke with lime.

Do you do that?

What?

Are you a go-go boy?

l used to be.

Too much beer.

But you'll see me up there again

someday.

l don't know how to dance.

Not like that.

You just got to do it, man.

Watch.

Yeah, you just gotta do it, man.

Does it pay well?

lt depends.

You see, you work for tips.

Sometimes you make a hundred...

and if they like you,

you make a hundred and fifty.

And...if you do

the other stuff...

Shove off, baby.

That's all you're getting

from me tonight.

Do you do the other stuff?

No, not since l found Jesus.

You're cute as sh*t.

You live around here?

Yeah, but my roommate

will be back in about two hours.

You can do a lot in two hours.

Hi. l'm--l'm Gabriel.

Mark. l'm Mark.

Wow, this is really awkward.

l said this is awkward.

Which way?

Which floor are you on?

Five.

lt's just one more flight.

This is it.

lt sticks sometimes.

Oh, babe, you scared me.

l hope you're not allergic.

Why are you here?

l left three messages.

l'm using your computer,

updating my rsum.

What are you guys up to?

Just hanging out.

Oh, uh, well,

l need to get to my show...

as soon as this

is done printing.

ls this a bad idea?

No, no. lt's a good idea.

Really.

Hi. l'm Katherine Lamberg.

l'm an actress.

We don't have any chairs, so...

Maybe l should go.

This won't take too long.

How many rsums

are you printing?

A hundred and fifty.

l'm in an all-female production

of ''Salome''...

set in a women's penitentiary.

lt's non-equity.

That sounds great.

Really?

l'm a slave, but l understudy

John the Baptist.

There's a performance tonight

at midnight.

Maybe you could come

with Gabriel.

Maybe. Uh...

You two are roommates?

But we're very close.

l even take care of his dog.

Trixie.

l live with this guy--Rich.

He's straight.

Gabe, l talked to my mother.

She called you

my boyfriend again.

lsn't that funny?

That's funny.

She still calls you that...

even though we haven't been

dating since high school.
