Apartment Troubles Page #3

Synopsis: This comedy follows two codependent East Village, New York girls, Olivia and Nicole, on the verge of eviction and existential crisis. They're struggling artists, living in a Bohemian apartment. Their electricity has been turned off and they've begun an ill-advised juice fast. To top it all off, they're out of money and too "talented" to come up with the rent. To solve their problems they go to L.A. to visit Nicole's wealthy aunt, Kimberley, the host of a popular reality TV talent show. As Kimberley convinces the girls to audition, the girls struggle to maintain their friendship as Olivia begins to realize she may not be as dependent on Nicole as she once believed.

No, no. This is

my aunt Kimberly's show.

I found this today.

It's a reality talent show

and she lives in LA

and she's always saying

to come anytime.

Let's take a vacation.

I think seagull

would've wanted this.

Help us have a great weekend

in Los Angeles.

Can I wear your shirt

that you're wearing?

You want to wear this?

It's really pretty.

Showtime, folks.

Showtime, folks.

The time is showtime.

One time for you.

Hey, hey!

Hey!

Yeah!

Watch him.

Watch him!

That was our show.

New York City, where's the love?

What are you doing?

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.

I've never done this before,

but, um,

those dancers were really great

and I just feel really

inspired right now.

I just wanted to talk

to you because, well,

Eleanor Roosevelt said, do something

every day that terrifies you.

And, um, I think

you're all really brave.

And a lot of you look like

you're coming home

from work right now.

I just want you to know

you're doing a really good job.

And I don't know

IF anybody's told you that,

but they should because...

I just lost someone really,

um, important to me.

He was one of my best friends

and it makes me realize

how precious everything is.

And, um,

do I seem weird right now?

In conclusion, um, well, I...

I wanted you to know

that I think the world

wants you to be happy.

And IF you're not feeling happy,

just hold your heart

and feel that you love yourself.

And, um, yeah, that's all

I wanted to say.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, I guess I left the phone

on during the flight.

How are we gonna get to

Kimberly's IF we can't call her?

Are you listening to me?

Just feeling really

sad about seagull.

Uh-huh.

I can't believe

he was alive yesterday.

Olivia...

Just feeling my feelings.

I know, but you cried,

like, the entire flight.

That's a six-hour flight.

That was six hours.

Can we focus right now

and just figure out

how to get to Kimberly's?

Isn't she picking us up?

I... I'm sure she would

IF we could call her.

Did you tell her we're coming?

She said, like, come anytime

so I just figured when...

Do you have money for a taxi?

I have $4.

Sir, uh, do you mind

IF we borrow your phone?

Sure, no problem.

What do you need?

Can't get the number

off this phone.

- Set it to...

- Never mind.

Do you need a ride?

That's okay.

You two look like nice people.

I mean, IF you know the address

and you want a ride,

I'll just drive you

wherever you're going.

Where you going?

521 waverly.

Yeah, that's fine.

Get in.

It's a stranger, Olivia.

He wants to help us.

It's a sign.

Not everything is

a sign from the universe.

It's all we have left now.

We have to have faith.
