You have to promise to call me.

I'll call you this week.

- Good night.

- Oh, Aura, don't go!

Please don't go!

- What are you doing Saturday?

- A practice test.

I never took one of those,

and I came out with a cool score of 1,000.

Listen, not to be rude,

but your bath products...

are sort of scattered

all over the bathroom...

so if you could maybe

keep them on one shelf?

And there's also some hair in the sink

that's definitely not mine.

So if you could do something with that,

and scoop the kitty litter...

that'd be really great.

Deep scoops.

Hello, sir.

Can I seat you for dinner?

You know, it's just

answering the phone, taking deliveries...

you know,

writing down reservations.

You'd be up here a lot by yourself.

The boys will be down in the kitchen.

Um, the wait staff gets in

at around 5:
30...

so it's not the most social job.

I'm a video maker,

so my schedule is very flexible.

- I make my own schedule.

- Okay, so when can you start?

Uh, tomorrow. Now.

Let me go downstairs and check.

I think we could start you,

like, next Friday?

I really appreciate it.

I haven't done this before...

but I'm a very fast learner

and I'm very enthusiastic.

Well, no need to be that enthusiastic.

I mean, do you want to know

what it pays?

- I'm sorry. I forgot to ask.

- Yeah, it's $11 an hour to start...

and you can't expect tips because,

you know, you're a day hostess, so -

- I was not expecting any tips.

- Okay, good.

Well, so I'll be right back.

- Hi.

- Hey.

I'm the new hostess - day hostess.

And just so you know,

I'm not working right now...

and I wasn't sleeping,

if you saw me before.

Probably a great thing to do

is to just be hired...

and then rest your head

on the counter.

Yeah, probably not the best way

to make a first impression.

- Do you work here?

- I do.

- Are you a waiter?

- I'm a chef.

Oh, like, the chef?

I'm a chef.

- Look who I found!

- Oh, my God. Hi.

I got the job.

Thank you so much.

Oh, no problem.

Julia's nice, right?

Yeah, she's really nice, although

I made a complete fool of myself...

in front of a really hot guy.

Not one of the Mexicans?

No, like, blond and kind of

American Psycho-y looking.

Oh yeah, Keith.

He is hot, right?

He's the sous chef,

although it's a shame about that fedora.

- And he's got a really filthy mouth.

- Really?

Yeah. One time, though, I saw him

sitting on a crate of onions...

reading Austerlitz,

so he's weirdly literary.

Oh, whoa.

Hey, do you want to go to the Odeon

and order everything on the menu?

I would love to.

It sounds so tempting, but I can't.

If it's a money thing, I have my dad's

credit card, and I've been using it all week.
