- [Sophie] Bye.

- Lev would totally date you.

- I have a boyfriend.

But isn't he charming

and so handsome?

You could be over here all the time.

it would be great.

Then you wouldn't have to spend

all that time with Lisa.

- Right. I could f*** him just to

not hang outwith Lisa. - [Door Opens]

Don't mind me.

I'm just trying to get your attention.

How could you not want to date him?

He's kind of magic.

Because I'm with Patch.

Patch is the kind of guy...

who buys

a black leather couch...

and is like, "I love it. "

- What are we doing with our day?

- I got to get going around 5:00.

- I thought we were hanging out.

- We are.

- All day. - I have plans with

Patch tonight. I told you.

- No, you didn't.

- Yes, I did. I texted that to you.

- No, you didn't.

- Yes, I did.

- Here.

- We're not doing that.

That's shitty.

It's not court.

- I did text you, though.

- I believe you.

- You don't have to believe me.

I did text you. - Want to see my room?

I kind of have a crush on this boy,

but his name is Georgie...

so I don't really know

how far it's gonna go.

- Can't f*** a Georgie.

- "I want you inside me, Georgie. "

- Have you been dating anyone?

- Nope.

- Oh, Frances.

- It's fine.

- What about Benji?

- Benji thinks I'm undateable.

It's really funny when he does it.

You and I are both undateable.

Guys can't handle us.

We're gonna end up spinsters.

You better break that to Patch.

Boys are easier.

Girls are passive-aggressive.

Boys are just like,

"Clean up your sh*t. "

You're still messy.

I've been busy.

No, it wasn't a criticism.

I meant it as a nice thing.

You will always be messy,

and you will always...

...look at yourself

too much in the mirror.

- When did I look at myself in the mirror?

- Always. You just were doing it.

There are so many mirrors

in this apartment.

I don't want you to change.

I like your clothes everywhere

and your mirror thing. It's sweet.

- You have stuff too.

- What?

You judge people who aren't

as moderate as you are.

- I do not.

- You do, and you don't read.

- Hey, b*tches!

- Benji! You're crazy!

- [French Film On TV]

- [Door Shuts]

- [Lev] Want to see my room?

- [Woman] Sure.

- Hey, guys, this is Lindsay.

- Hi.

I wish we had cookies.

I wish we had Chessmen.

[Dramatic:
]

- Good show tonight.

- You too.

- You were beautiful tonight.

- Thank you.

- Hey.

- Hi. Sorry.

I'm so slow.

I have trouble leaving places.

You were great tonight.

Thanks.

Frances,

I wanted to tell you...

so you would have

some days to process it:

We won't be able to use you

in the Christmas show.

I'm really sorry.

What?

- I'm really sorry. You know what
