again... it would just

come back or...

Hey, it was dark, you were scared.

It's okay.

It's not okay. It's stupid, that's

what it is. Really f***ing stupid.

Hey!

Are you the other girl?

Sorry?

I'm so sorry you had

to go through that.

I'm sorry... no... I... I don't

know what you're talking about.

What?

I'm sorry about whatever

happened to you but I'm not -

Where'd you get that then?

Sorry. She's upset,

you know?

Bonnie, whoa, okay...

Bonnie, slow down.

I don't want to be a part of

this sisterhood of rape victims.

Ok, I get it.

I'm not like that girl. That girl's

a f***ing mess! I'm not like that.

Hey, she was just upset -

So am I, but I'm not going to make

a big scene in front of everybody.

Every? Who's everybody?

Look, she was just trying to comfort you.

More like comfort herself.

Ok. Is that such a...

such a bad thing?

Do you hear yourself? Ok, so we were

raped by the same a**hole of a guy?

Yeah, okay, so now we have some sacred bond

and we're supposed to heal each other?

I don't know.

Would you say the same thing

about cancer patients who go to

support groups, stuff like that?

I'm not dying, Matt!

I know you're... come on,

I...

It's not... It's a stupid

argument.

It's not even in the same

universe.

I just don't think that

crying about it

and then rehashing it over and over again,

is going to help anyone.

You don't know that.

Are you sure?

Are you using a condom?

I... Yea...

The doctor said I...

Oh, right. Yeah.

Yeah? I mean,

better safe, right?

Right.

Sorry!

Okay.

It's ok?

- Mhm.

- You sure?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay.

Come on, baby, f*** me.

Come on baby.

Come on, Matt!

F*** me for real.

Ok.

Just give me a second,

just give me a second.

Ok.

- Sorry, I -

- It's ok.

Yeah. I dunno.

It's fine. I was tired anyway.

I'm going to start squatting.

You mean like a 30-day

challenge?

No, squatting in vacant

apartments.

I swear to God, it's almost

impossible to find an

apartment...

an affordable apartment in New

York City and I just read this

article about all these

internationals that are like

buying up vacant apartments in Manhattan and

leaving them empty for years and years until

little Johnny comes along and

claims his piece of the pie.

Ew!

Yeah, it should be illegal to

take up space in Manhattan.

I swear to God, I'm

going to start squatting.

I'm going to be the best damn

squatter New York City has ever seen.

Mm, ok, yes. But you think it's illegal

when your Uber rating drops below 5 stars?

Ok, that is actually a crime.

And this is for the good of America.

Mhm. I don't think that argument

is going to fly in court.

Yeah.

You're probably right.
