I've had a very broken heart.

Look, all members are entitled

to one free pass

after a delinquency,

but I cannot get you

onto her shift.

It's all booked.

I'm sorry,

I didn't catch your name.

Jackie.

Hi, Jackie.

Um...

The last time I checked,

this is a cooperative.

Why don't you go ahead

and cooperate with me,

and I'll cooperate with you.

But how do you get them

so curly?

Let's go.

It was so nice meeting you.

Shirin told me you're an artist.

Landscaping or portraits?

I specialize in

experimental installations,

and Jacques is currently

focusing on sandcastle work

integrating found objects.

We're done with the boxes.

I'm coming.

It was so nice meeting you.

There's no toilet paper.

Hey, you guys can go.

I feel like I'm 17

and you're moving me

back into college.

I wish.

That dorm was much nicer.

This is what it is

to find a place

on short notice in Brooklyn.

At least you have

a sexy roommate.

Felicia? I find her

a bit terrifying.

No, I'm talking about

the boy-- Jacques.

Your new roommates are freaks.

Hey, is this how you say hello?

Hi.

Can we tell her?

Tell me what?

I'm proposing to Layli.

Why?

Hey.

Shirin.

I'm not saying

you shouldn't do it.

It's just...

He's very young.

He's 33.

I was only 19

when I married your father.

Well, this isn't the Islamic

Republic of Iran, mom.

Do you see a hijab on my head?

What is wrong with you?

Nothing.

You're acting like a brat.

Stop it.

You're bringing

a lot of negative energy

into my new home.

Oh, this is not a home.

This is a refugee camp.

Seriously,

what are you doing here?

You don't know what a cool

Brooklyn loft looks like.

I just don't understand

why you left your old apartment.

The neighborhood

was so much better.

It got too expensive.

We would have helped you.

This is my new home,

and I love it.

Okay.

Ali, come.

Help me in the kitchen.

Okay, but I'm not

touching anything.

I'm sure the girl

who let me in has hep c.

Dad?

Yeah?

I'm worried about Ali.

I think he's jumping

into marriage

because he thinks he has to.

He's got classic

older child syndrome.

He'll do anything

to make you and mom happy.

She has no goals

or aspirations.

She takes nothing seriously.

She's becoming a loser.

Lower your voice.

She has this, like,

younger child thing.

I'm telling you,

you need to be on top of that.

You don't think

I'm doing my best?

She's not easy.

He's, like, burying his emotions

deep beneath the surface,

and, like, one day,

he could pull a gun

on his coworkers.

I think she has

self-esteem issues.

Yeah, no kidding.

When was the last time

she had a boyfriend?

That Virginia tech kid

was just trying to please
