Frances Ha

- [Both Laughing]

- No feet!

No! No!

- No! Not the hair!

- Yes.

- Not the - Frances!

- Ow!

[Chattering, indistinct]

I tried to make a frittata,

but it's really more of a scramble.

This is interesting.

"To praise a work of literature

by calling it sincere...

is now at best a way of saying that,

although it may be given...

no aesthetic or intellectual

admiration -"

[Woman Speaking On Computer,

indistinct]

I wouldn't eat

a domesticated dog.

You say that

just because they're cute.

[Indistinct]

[Movie Playing On Computer,

Indistinct]

[Movie Stops]

Don't be stupid.

I should sleep in my own bed.

Why?

Because I bought it.

Stay.

But take off your socks.

- [Frances] it's hairless?

- No, it has fine, curly hair.

There's this house

in Westchester -

the basement

is all Cornish Rexes.

It smells awful.

The top floor is Siamese cats.

- I'm allergic to cats.

- They're hypoallergenic.

- This is a special Frances kitty.

- Oh. Who knew?

This one's the runt, which is cheaper,

but I think it's the best one anyway.

I figure one runt

and one regular.

I put a hundred-dollar

down payment on each cat.

Well, 80 for the runt

and a hundred for the other one.

- Why not just get one cat? - A cat needs

a buddy. If you get one, you need two.

I'll give you $200

to get no cats.

So who will take care of them

if you go away?

I thought we could

get 'em together.

And move them back and forth

between our apartments?

No. I thought maybe...

you could move in with me.

Oh. Wow.

- Do you want to move in with me?

- Yeah.

Yes. I mean,

I do have this other thing.

- What other thing?

- Well, I don't know.

I promised Sophie

I'd stay through the lease...

and she'll probably

want to renew it.

Is that bad?

I'm sorry. I feel bad.

- Can't she find someone else?

- Yeah, but it's my friend.

- Uh-huh.

- I want to move in with you. - Okay.

- I feel bad.

- Don't feel bad. Forget it.

- No. What?

- Nothing.

- You're mad.

- I'm not mad. I'm disappointed.

- I feel bad.

- Stop feeling bad.

Frances, I asked you

to move in. You said no.

- But I can't.

- You can. You don't want to.

[Cell Phone Ringing]

- Who is it?

- I don't have to get it.

- Who is it? - Sophie. I'll call her later.

- Just pick up the phone.

- Are you sure?

- Answer it.

Yo, girl! What's up?

Hey, where are you?

I can't come.

Are you drunk?

I love you!

Ahh! Dumpling House!

I can't really talk right now.

Okay. I love you.

Okay.

I love you.

[Chuckling]

She's with these guys...

Benji and Lev,

at a party in Chinatown.

They're drunk.

I don't know.

Maybe this isn't working.

- I'm sorry.

- Me too..

Maybe -

No, never mind.

- What?

- I want to pay you for the cats.

I'm not gonna take

money from you...

but I am going

to get the cats anyway.

But then you're gonna be

a single guy with two cats.

Why would I be single?

- With two cats.

- No, I know.

I mean,

why would I be single?

I don't know.

I thought you said that

this isn't working.

I mean, if we don't move in together.

If we can't move in together.

We can move in together.

I don't know that I believe

anything I'm saying.

Uh-huh.

This hasn't been great

for a while.

"This hasn't been great

for a while. "

This has not been -

[Exhales]

- Where are you going?

- Home, I guess.

I'm really... tired.

I'm always so tired.

Let's move in together.

[Rock]

Hi!

You're crazy.

You know Lev?

Yes.

- And Benji?

- Hi.

I can't get interested

in art or books...

or movies about animals.

The animals have to talk

or be at war for me to be interested.

Don't hit the third rail.
