and we're gonna need

a second bedroom.

of our apartment?

- Yeah, I know that this

has been our apartment,

but first it was mine,

I mean I was here first.

I'm on the lease.

- But you're the one

who needs more space.

- Well, I mean, there's no need

to rush, we still have time.

- When did you tell frank?

- We've known about a week.

- That's just the other night.

- The other night?

- I was going to the

bathroom and he walked in

and then when I came out,

you know what, forget it.

- Forget what?

- No, forget it.

- No, forget what?

- It's just, you would

expect husband material

to go back into

your room and wait.

- You were naked

again, weren't you.

- Just going to the

bathroom to pee.

- We have talked about this.

- Sorry.

Still.

- You're a little liar.

I think you should pack up

your sh*t sooner than later.

- I don't have anywhere to go.

- By tomorrow.

- Hi, I'm Sam, I

work for Goldenpal.

Goldenpal?

Goldenpal.

I work for Goldenpal.

My name is Sam Gordon.

My name is Sam, and

I work for Goldenpal.

My name is Sam, and

I work for Goldenpal.

- Hello.

- Hello, Mrs. white.

My name is Sam, I

work for Goldenpal,

I brought your grocery order.

- Where's the usual guy?

- This should have

been here two days ago.

- Ah, you know how to do it.

- Mr. hill, check food supply,

make sure light bulbs work.

Right.

- Who is it?

- Hello, Mr. hill, my name

is Sam, I work for Goldenpal.

I brought your grocery order.

- Who the hell are you?

- Sam from Goldenpal.

- Where's the regular guy?

This food could be poisoned.

- Why would anybody...

- tell them to send

the old regular guy!

- Mr. hill.

Ow.

Jesus.

Fine.

- Transfer to

Metro trains and the south.

Doors closing.

Transfer to Metro and

south shore trains.

This is an orange

line train to midway.

- You really let this

place go to sh*t.

- I wasn't expecting you.

- You knew when my

plane was landing.

The men in Paris are a lot

neater, that's for sure.

- You should have

taken me with you.

- Don't be jealous.

- I don't really have a couch.

- You burned it.

- Thinking of all those

Parisian men made me crazy.

- Now where are you gonna sleep?

- Here, wait.

- Don't you have a dresser?

- I burned that too.

You can just move

things into the corner.

- Where'd you put the trash can?

- Okay, actually, those

are all collectibles.

- Do you not want me here?

- No I do, but,

you ripped my bongo

man number three.

- Bongo

man? Looks racist.

- He's the most racist

superhero ever created.

It was worth 20 bucks.

- I just wanted my

space for my things.

- Okay.

Sorry, I, here, let's move
