What are you talking about?

I'm just telling you

they haven't said it.

What?

I'm gonna go.

Let me know when

you're doing stuff.

Yeah. Okay. Bye.

[MID-TEMPO GUITAR MUSIC]

Ooh, sorry.

Sorry. Sorry.

Ah!

Thanks. I'm really sorry.

Just got in?

I'm sorry. What? Sorry?

Oh, I'm just saying I think

I saw you come in to work.

Oh, yeah.

I am late as usual.

Yeah, always late.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

[SIGHS]

Can I get a refill for you?

Oh, yeah.

Uh, thanks.

Oh, sh*t!

What? Are you okay?

No. F***.

Um, I think someone

just stole my computer.

Oh, God.

Yeah, I had it here,

and I put it in a bag.

It was in a blue computer bag.

I was gonna go to the bathroom.

Do you have another one?

Do you s... hmm?

Besides that one?

No. That's it.

Just that one, actually.

[CHUCKLES]

Thanks.

No, it would have been devastating

if you'd lost your masterpiece.

Yeah.

No reason to go on.

I know.

Fortunately, it's just two pages

of bad haikus and dirty limericks.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

But you're a doodlist

as well, I see.

Oh, yes.

I just scribble.

I dabble in the doodles myself.

Yeah? Really?

Yeah, I do caricatures

in Prospect Park.

Oh, cool.

Very cool.

I'm sorry.

Is this Gorbachev?

No, no, that's just a creepy guy.

Oh. That's too bad.

I'm a huge Gorbachev fan.

Oh.

Well, this is...

Now it's Gorbachev.

You can Gorbachev anything.

That's really good.

Thanks.

It's Birdie.

It's very birdy.

Oh, my name is Birdie.

Oh, okay. Sorry.

Um...

I'm Sam.

Uh, that's my name.

[CLEARS THROAT]

It's like Pam with an S.

Oh. So...

So Spam.

No, the P is silent.

It's confusing.

[LAUGHS]

[SIGHS]

I would love to continue

this conversation, but...

Yeah, of course.

Sorry. Yeah.

Sorry.

Large coffee, almond milk, three

Sweet'N Lows, two napkins.

The name's Emily.

Nice to meet you.

Emily, like "Jemily,"

but the J is silent.

[CHUCKLES]

Actually, "Gemily" is spelled

with a G, usually.

Is it?

Do you know any Gemilys?

Sorry.

[JANGLY ROCK MUSIC]

Hey, El, where's the toothpaste?

El.

Hey, what'd you...

Oh, sh*t!

Sh*t.

What the f***?

Sorry.

You can't do that

with the door wide open.

Well, I thought

you were in the shower.

I always wait till

you're in the shower.

You do?

Oh, God.

Now every time I take a shower,

I'm gonna think about that.

Can I turn around?

Yeah.

Is that Princess Leia?

N... yeah.

Are you seriously jerking off

to current pictures

of Carrie Fisher?

Remember when

we were kids, dude?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you

were pretty obsessed with her too.

Yeah, I was obsessed with her

when she was in Star Wars.

What am I, 12?

You really expect me to pleasure

myself to f***ing Star Wars?

What are you talking about?
