Fatal Flip Page #4

---

Suddenly the reason

you and Jeff

have yet to be engaged

is becoming clear.

Guys like Nate

are not the problem.

Then what is?

I'm just not sure

that I'm ready

for that planned-out,

safe little life.

So you quit your job

for a stint as a roving

house flipper,

and you drag Jeff

along for the ride.

It was his idea.

He's jumping through

your hoops.

You know it.

Girl, this is his grand

romantic gesture.

He's trying to prove

he's the one.

Well, that settles it.

I will date hardhat,

tight jeans out there.

I mean, you're taken.

One of us

has to give him a try.

Look, I have to go.

Call me in a few days.

I'm gonna bring by

some samples.

- Okey-doke. I love you.

- I love you.

I love you.

Thank you so much

for everything.

- Tell Jeff I said hi.

- Okay, I will.

You were listening to us,

me and Ros.

Will you hand me

that screwdriver?

You better screw it in.

Okay.

- Like this?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Perfect.

- Nice and tight?

- Nice and tight.

All right.

Good job.

Okay.

So, why were you

listening to us?

Curiosity.

Okay, take the grounded wire

right there.

Put it there.

All right.

So you bought this place

'cause you don't want

to lead a safe,

planned-out life?

- Is that right?

- Yet. Not yet.

Got it.

Well, maybe I had

no business listening,

but I heard my name.

Okay, now...

put that

right in there.

Be careful.

Okay. Wait.

Okay, here we go,

here we go.

That feels right.

Ahh.

All right.

Now flip that switch.

- Okay, this one?

- Yeah.

Is it safe?

You don't trust me?

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my gosh, you did it!

Jeff:
Alex? Nate?

Where are you guys?

Oh, Nate fixed

the circuit breaker.

We have lights.

It's your favorite realtor!

Jeff?

Alex?

I just want to take some

pictures for the listing.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Mr. Taylor?

Jeff? Jeff?

Jeff!

Oh, hello.

Hi.

I see Alex and Jeff

took my advice.

You must be

the new handyman.

Yeah, that's me.

You know, I want

to get your info

and put your name

in the listing as well.

You know, when people

buy one of these

fixer-uppers,

they want to know

who did the fixing.

Yeah, that won't

be necessary.

You're under

a crazy deadline.

Are you sure you can

get this all done?

You know,

I might be able

to get you some work

in the neighborhood.

I have a few friends

who I'd love to pass

your info to.

What did you say

your name was?

I didn't.

$10, though?

Oh, my God.

How are we gonna

make any money?

If it was marked $50,

you would have paid $50.

When in doubt, haggle.

Next time, ask me.

I'm an excellent haggler.

Yeah, I'm not a haggler.

It makes me uncomfortable.

Well, try me.

I didn't know that

about you.

Hey, can I help?
