it was okay with you first.

- Do what? - I want to move into

this apartment with Lisa.

It's this great apartment in Tribeca,

which is what I've always wanted...

but I don't want to do it

if it's not okay with you.

- Oh.

- They need to know by tomorrow...

so I kind of need to say

something today.

Who have you been e-mailing?

My parents, for help

with the broker's fee.

- You have to pay our rent.

- I know.

I'll pay till the end of the lease.

You know, there's only

another two months anyway.

Are you okay with it?

I really don't want to do it if you're not.

- I thought we were gonna renew our lease.

- Yeah, but we never talked about it.

- I could've moved in with Dan.

- Not if you broke up.

- That's why we broke up.

- Really?

No.

It's literally on my favorite street.

Lisa said it was too good to pass up.

- You hate Lisa.

- She's okay.

- We make fun of her.

- We're both really clean.

I'm busy.

- I wish it was gonna be with you.

- Yeah.

- But Lisa found the place.

- Right.

Does this train go to DeKalb?

We could always look for a place

together, if you want.

But it's really hard

to find stuff in Tribeca.

I can't afford Tribeca.

I'm not leaving you.

I'm just moving neighborhoods.

What are you doing?

I put my ring on my thumb,

and I'm having trouble getting it off.

Hold your hand above your head.

It'll drain the blood out.

[Brakes Screeching]

I look like

I'm asking a question.

Ow! F***! F***!

[Shouting] We bought the kettle

together, remember?

At the Mexican superstore?

Jesus!

Bring it back!

Or buy me another kettle!

[Exclaims]

Hi. I just - I just got a tax rebate.

Do you want to go to dinner?

This is me in the locker room

with the Knicks.

- Wow.

- Sophie said you liked basketball.

That was just one time.

Oh, crazy.

Oh, yeah. I was goofing around with

this vintage Triumph I think I'm gonna buy.

- Motorcycles are so loud.

- What?

You can't listen to music

when you're on a motorcycle.

But you're on a motorcycle.

- This is me with Jay Leno.

- He's such a dick.

I know,

but don't you just love him?

- Oh!

- No.

- Yes.

- No.

Ye- No. Yes.

I'm the one with the tax rebate.

- Can I take it?

- Uh - Uh - Uh-

Fine.

Just because you bought dinner

doesn't mean I'm gonna sleep with you.

I'm not trying to sleep with you.

- No, I was pretending to be a

liberated woman. - Oh. I got it.

Thanks for paying.

That was very sweet. You're a lady.

[Waitress]

Sorry, but the card didn't go through.

- Do you have another card you want to try?

- Oh, sh*t. Sorry.

- This is a debit card.

- Only credit cards or cash.

Okay-

I'm so embarrassed.

I'm not a real person yet.
