00:00You'll be happy to know it was a complete disaster.
00:17Wait, why are you dry?
00:19Why wouldn't I be dry?
00:21Were you just in the shower?
00:23No.
00:26Who's in the shower?
00:28First of the month, ladies.
00:30Oh, no.
00:35Why is it so dark in here?
00:40Hey.
00:41Well, this is obviously short.
00:43I don't know.
00:44Do you guys pay the electric bill?
00:46Um, I'm sorry, we're choosing not to have electricity.
00:49It's a housing violation.
00:51We don't want to be a part of the problem.
00:53You have to pay it.
00:55There's no law that says you have to blow up mountains in frac.
00:58This is $500 short.
00:59It's the third month in a row, all right?
01:01That's a full month's rent.
01:02I am trying to turn a profit here.
01:04Apparently, I'm your friend.
01:05You haven't even returned my last four Evites.
01:08Well, we don't have electricity, so...
01:11It's not okay.
01:12It's just not okay.
01:13Turn your back.
01:14I've been working with my energy healer, Stephen.
01:18And we have decided that I can no longer pay for electricity.
01:22And we have decided that I can no longer be an enabler anymore.
01:24Call will show up to your party.
01:26I have called you.
01:28All right.
01:29I've left messages, and you have not returned my call.
01:32And there are a lot of people who are interested in illegal sublets.
01:35A lot.
01:36There's a lawyer at my gym who really wants this.
01:38Do they not have a shower at your gym?
01:40Okay, I can't do this anymore.
01:42I can't be supporting you girls.
01:43We're done.
01:44We're done.
01:45Pay me what you owe me, or you're out by the end of the month.
01:49You know what I want to know?
01:50Why was this never an issue when we were together?
01:52You keep mouthing off.
01:53You keep mouthing off.
01:54Don't do what you're doing.
01:55You're still a little fat.
01:56Have some integrity.
01:57You have integrity.
01:59Bob.
02:00That's not...
02:01Bob.
02:0220 days, and I mean it.
02:03No.
02:09Okay, you're going.
02:10I can't do this.
02:11Steve told me.
02:12What did Steve tell you?
02:13Steve said...
02:14He said, cut.
02:16No.
02:17Cut.
02:18Stop it.
02:19No.
02:20Ridiculous.
02:21I've got to cut the cord.
02:23Bob, more than one month.
02:25You mouth off anymore, and I'm making it 15 days.
02:50Cut.
02:51Cut.

03:34I'm going out.
03:35Are you hungry?
03:37No, I don't eat anything.
03:43Just bring me an apple.
03:48You see these roots?
04:08It's disgusting.
04:11In my country, the fruits are small, American.
04:15They need to relax, but they can't because their food is too aggressive.
04:31Nicole?
04:35Nicole, we have a notice.
04:46What do I got a notice?
04:48This is important.
04:49This is important.
04:50Shut the fuck up.
04:51Take the gas mask off and just come up here.
04:53Not coming to you, you come to me.
04:54Fine, I'm going to jump off the fire escape.
04:56Shut up, you wouldn't.
04:57I'm throwing myself over the railing.
04:59Just tell me what you want.
05:00Tell me what you want!
05:02We're being evicted!
05:04Good!
05:18Please, no hydrofluorocarbons in the house.
05:21We paid most of his rent.
05:23I touch this disgusting doorknob outside, my hand's gonna give you. I have to wash it.
05:31The cat is going in my bedroom!
05:34No! No, no, no, no, no!
05:38Oh, God!
05:40Try to speak to him more diplomatically!
05:45Oh, God.
05:46Olivia, you know how allergic I am.
05:50Look how he looks at me! Do you see the looks that he gives me?
05:55You see the worst in people!
05:57You don't know your own cat!
06:01I told you to just keep it out of my room!
06:04Over there!
06:05I can control him no more than I can control the wind.
06:08And there's a very large chance I may have an audition today,
06:12so I'd really appreciate it if you would just take it down a notch
06:16and not try to throw me off my game so much, because I really need to be centered.
06:20Go! Go!
06:22I'm not having this conversation with you anymore!
06:31This is not an apple.
06:34No.
06:36I need a drink.
06:44What are you...
06:48You're just trying to mouthwash?
06:55Ooh.
06:57What is that?
06:58I don't know.
06:59I spilled.
07:06Is this thing clicking?
07:07I don't know. Maybe it's the stove.
07:11Olivia!
07:14Why, Worms? Why?
07:17Where are you going, Worms?
07:19What is up there?
07:20Oh, God!
07:21What is down here?
07:22What do we do with the...
07:23It's a machine!
07:24I told you we shouldn't...
07:25Vermicompost!
07:26Olivia!
07:27Please stop with the chopsticks!
07:29Stop! Please stop feeding them cheese!
07:31They're lactose intolerant.
07:33We can't treat them like this. This is a...
07:35Let go of this. We're going for a walk.
07:37It's gonna be so nice out there. Come on.
07:49That lamp would be perfect.
07:52No. We don't have electricity.
07:55You're daring me.
07:56No, I'm not.
07:57I hate it when you do this.
07:58I'm not daring you. I'm not daring you.
07:59I do not want you to do this.
08:01Get off the step.
08:02You do not take lamps out of people's homes.
08:04You can't do that.
08:05Why are you always doing things like this?
08:07Stop it. You're gonna break something.
08:09Do not climb over there. That is dangerous.
08:12Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
08:26Got caught.
08:27What?
08:28Oh, God.
08:51Hey.
08:55Hello?
08:57Oh, hi.
08:59Yeah.
09:00Okay. I can do that.
09:02All right.
09:03Thank you. I'll be there. Bye.
09:07Got another job.
09:08What for?
09:09Life insurance.
09:11Ew.
09:13What?
09:14You don't wanna do that. You don't wanna be part of the problem.
09:16I'm not.
09:17Somebody needs to support us.
09:19We need a benefactor.
09:21What about your parents?
09:22No.
09:23Why don't you sell one of your pieces then?
09:24I told you. They're not done yet.
09:26Fine.
09:27I'm getting muffins. Do you want one?
09:30The usual. If they have it. And if not, blueberry.
09:54Well, I didn't book that job, either.
09:57What are we gonna do?
09:59I don't know.
10:00Okay. Here's just an idea.
10:05Why don't you ask your parents for more money?
10:07I told you I've been totally cut off.
10:10Are they still your parents?
10:12No.
10:13Why?
10:14I don't know.
10:15I don't know.
10:16I don't know.
10:17I don't know.
10:18I don't know.
10:19I don't know.
10:20I don't know.
10:21I don't know.
10:22Are they still your parents?
10:24What kind of question is that?
10:26It's just you're adopted and they have so much money and if they've cut you off...
10:29I know I'm adopted.
10:30I don't know. I'm sorry.
10:31Listen. They're also...
10:32They're petitioning to cut a lot of things.
10:33They're trying to cut...
10:34They're trying to cut public radio.
10:36It's...
10:37Okay. Just take a few deep breaths.
10:40I think I'm just hungry.
10:42We haven't eaten today.
10:44I forgot the muffins.
10:46Wait.
10:47Okay.
10:48I have a plan.
10:50We're on a cleanse right now.
10:52We've already begun it.
10:54See what I'm saying?
10:55Sort of.
10:56Okay.
10:57We have not eaten today.
10:58This is good.
10:59Wait. How does this work?
11:01We're cleansing.
11:02We're just...
11:03Our pores are just going to start letting stuff go.
11:05When we...
11:06It sounds very affordable.
11:07I have no better ideas.
11:08I think we should do this.
11:09I'm very willing to try anything you suggest right now because I'm so starving.
11:13Bob left a juicer here.
11:15I think it's in the hall closet.
11:16Yeah.
11:17See if it's still there.
11:20Okay.
11:26It's here.
11:42Oh, it's heavy.
11:50Oh.
11:55You know, I'm sorry about what I said about your periods.
12:00What?
12:04Is he stuck?
12:06Seagull.
12:08Are you sleeping?
12:20Oh, my God.
12:25I know.
12:29It's okay.
12:30It's okay.
12:33The Japanese, they call moments like this mononoawari.
12:36Why are you talking about Japanese people?
12:39It's ephemerality.
12:40Don't worry about it.
12:41It's okay.
12:42It's okay.
12:43It's okay.
12:44It's okay.
12:45It's okay.
12:46It's okay.
12:47It's okay.
12:49It's ephemerality.
12:50What?
12:51And that's a beautiful thing.
12:52Well, ephemerality sucks.
12:57Oh, Seagull.
13:00Do you see that?
13:02What?
13:04There's gold in his mouth.
13:08It's like all the stuff on your hands.
13:12Why is he covered in gold?
13:14Olivia.
13:15I've known you were selfish, but I never thought you would hate an animal and kill it with your own bare golden hands.
13:20I loved the cat.
13:21You loved the cat?
13:22I didn't hate the cat.
13:24I wouldn't kill.
13:25You're jealous of the pure love that he had for me.
13:29I'm sorry.
13:30I don't...
13:32He is Seagull.
13:34And he's right here.
13:36He's right here.
13:38And I loved him.
13:46Could you please call the vet?
13:48Because I think they'll be able to tell us what to do.
14:15Okay.
14:33$150 is absurd for a cremation.
14:42This doesn't feel right.
14:45I didn't socialize to feel like this.
14:47When I was in India, this is how they honor the dead.
14:52You free human souls on a funeral pyre.
14:56And if it's good enough for people...
15:15$150 is absurd for a cremation.
15:17You free human souls on a funeral pyre.
15:19And if it's good enough for people...
15:45$150 is absurd for a cremation.
16:01I want to get out of this city.
16:03I just could use a break.
16:05You know?
16:07I can't be here.
16:09Not in the apartment.
16:15Actually...
16:17My dad has a private jet.
16:21His company.
16:23That he's never on.
16:25And Frank, the pilot, he loves me.
16:28There's a private jet we could use to get away?
16:32Yeah.
16:35You really think this is an option?
16:38Check this out.
16:40This is crazy.
16:41It's a sign.
16:42What is that?
16:43That's literally a sign.
16:44That's special something.
16:45Do you have a special talent?
16:46No.
16:47This is my Aunt Kimberly's show.
16:50I found this today.
16:52It's a reality talent show and she lives in L.A.
16:55And she's always saying to come anytime.
16:58Let's take a vacation.
17:00I think Seagal would have wanted this.
17:09Help us have a great weekend in Los Angeles.
17:15Can I wear your shirt that you're wearing?
17:20You want to wear this?
17:22It's really pretty.
17:44Hey!
17:45Hey!
17:46Hey!
17:47Hey!
17:48Hey!
17:49Hey!
17:50Hey!
17:51Hey!
17:52Hey!
17:53Hey!
17:54Hey!
17:55Hey!
17:56Hey!
17:57Hey!
17:58Hey!
17:59Hey!
18:00Hey!
18:01Hey!
18:02Hey!
18:03Hey!
18:04Hey!
18:05Hey!
18:06Hey!
18:07Hey!
18:08Hey!
18:09Hey!
18:10Hey!
18:11Hey!
18:12Hey!
18:13What?
18:15What?
18:17What, Sam!?
18:27Ladies and gentlemen, that was our show, Tell Your Life Saves the World in New York City.
18:31Wave to the Love.
18:32Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.
18:48I've never done this before, but those dancers were really great and I just feel really inspired
18:54right now.
18:55I just wanted to talk to you because, well, Eleanor Roosevelt said do something every
19:00day that terrifies you and I think you're all really brave and a lot of you look like
19:06you're coming home from work right now.
19:09I just want you to know you're doing a really good job and I don't know if anybody's told
19:13you that, but they should because I just lost someone really important to me.
19:23He was one of my best friends and it makes me realize how precious everything is and
19:29do I seem weird right now?
19:35In conclusion, well, I wanted you to know that I think the world wants you to be happy
19:42and if you're not feeling happy, just hold your heart and feel that you love yourself
19:50and yeah, that's all I wanted to say.
20:20Now, everybody wants to go to California to live their lives, sunnier days, dreaming of
20:49some houses, kids and wives, but they'll be bringing you the same old stuff, isn't it?
20:56Everybody wants to go to Japan.
20:59Everybody wants to go to Japan.
21:02Everybody wants to go to Japan.
21:06Everybody just don't care.
21:10Ugh, I guess I left the phone on during the flight.
21:14How are we going to get to Kimberly's if we can't call her?
21:18Are you listening to me?
21:21Just feeling really sad about Siegel.
21:24Uh-huh.
21:25I can't believe he was alive yesterday.
21:27Olivia.
21:28Just feeling my feelings.
21:30I know, but you cried like the entire flight.
21:32That's a six-hour flight.
21:33That was six hours.
21:35Can we focus right now and just figure out how to get to Kimberly's?
21:38Isn't she picking us up?
21:39I'm sure she would if we could call her.
21:42Did you tell her we're coming?
21:45She said, like, come any time, so I just figured when...
21:49Do you have money for a taxi?
21:51I have four dollars.
21:54Sir.
21:56Do you mind if I borrow your phone?
21:58Sure, no problem.
22:00I can't get the number off this phone.
22:01Never mind.
22:03You need a ride?
22:05That's okay.
22:07You two look like nice people.
22:08I mean, you know the address and you want a ride.
22:10I can just drive you wherever you're going.
22:13Where are you going?
22:14521 Waverly.
22:16Yeah, come on, get in.
22:18It's a stranger, Olivia.
22:19He wants to help us.
22:20It's a sign.
22:21Not everything is a sign from the universe.
22:24It's all we have left now.
22:25We have to have faith.
22:26We have to start trusting.
22:35I'll bring it, but Debbie's going to bring it.
22:37There are going to be two footballs.
22:40No, no, no, no!
22:44Fine!
22:46You are a turkey.
22:47You're a freaking turkey.
22:49T-U-R-K-E-Y.
22:51We'll talk about this later.
22:53Jesus Christ.
22:55Oh, wow.
22:56I'm sorry.
22:57That was my mom.
22:59Really?
23:00Where are you guys from?
23:02New York City.
23:04Oh, I love New York.
23:06I live there.
23:07That's where I live.
23:08That's where I'm from.
23:09It's a really small world.
23:11It's tiny.
23:12Oh, my God.
23:13I don't think my mommy's going to let me go back, though.
23:15That sucks.
23:16It's too bad.
23:17I know.
23:18Why?
23:19She's got something in her butt.
23:22Well, you're a grown man.
23:24Yeah, I'm a grown man.
23:27But I have a mommy still, and I listen to her.
23:29I listen to what she says.
23:31That's really sweet of you.
23:32Yeah, I know.
23:33I do what she wants.
23:34I do what she wants.
23:35She's a powerful lady, and she will spank me.
23:38She will spank me hard.
23:41She's getting older, but she packs it.
23:44Are you serious?
23:46Why?
23:47What?
23:48I'm just kidding.
23:49It's a freaking joke.
23:53You've got a sense of humor.
23:56Are you feeling okay?
23:58Yeah.
23:59Are you okay?
24:00Are you okay?
24:01Is she okay?
24:02Am I okay?
24:03Yeah.
24:04Are you okay?
24:05You're just like my mom.
24:07You got something in your butt,
24:09and it's not something that makes you happy.
24:15What is that?
24:16It's cyanide.
24:20I'm kidding.
24:21It's a joke.
24:24It's an Adderall.
24:25I take Adderall.
24:26You do?
24:27Yeah, I do.
24:28It's good stuff, right?
24:29Is yours prescribed or straight?
24:32It's prescribed.
24:33Yeah, I got a doctor on this shit.
24:35That was a red light.
24:36Oh, oh.
24:38I missed it.
24:40I'm an adult.
24:41I know when it's safe to go through a freaking red.
24:44Jesus Christ.
24:45Sometimes I'll stop at a green, okay?
24:48Oh, my God.
24:49I want some candy, but is it too late for candy?
24:52Is it too late for candy?
24:54I'm asking you a question.
24:55Actually, you know what?
24:56Can you just pull over?
24:58No, no, no, no, no, no.
24:59That's fine.
25:00Door-to-door service for you guys.
25:01Seriously.
25:02We're so close.
25:03I'm even going to carry your baggage.
25:04I'm a gentleman.
25:05Can you just pull over, please, sir?
25:07Just here.
25:08You said the address was 521 Waverly,
25:11and that is where this car is going.
25:13I am your knight in shining armor.
25:17Onward, my ladies.
25:21Jesus, you guys are fucking pains in the ass.
25:28I'm going to close my eyes for one second.
25:29Tell me when it turns green.
25:48You have impeccable decision-making skills, Olivia.
25:51I'm going to close my eyes for one second.
26:22Hello?
26:25Kimberly?
26:26Who in the?
26:29Oh, my God.
26:35What are you doing here?
26:39I came for a visit.
26:41Well, I'm delighted, but what are you doing here?
26:43You're supposed to be at the lake with your family.
26:47Lake?
26:48What?
26:49Hello.
26:50Hi.
26:51Are they there right now?
26:52Well, I thought that they were going there.
26:54No?
26:55What?
26:56Yes, your mom and dad and Joan and the kids.
27:00Oh.
27:02Now, don't get upset about it.
27:05I'm sure it was just a last-minute kind of a nothing.
27:08Who cares, right?
27:10No, Joan and the kids are there.
27:11Who cares?
27:12You're here, both of you, and we are going to have so much fun.
27:19Who's your friend?
27:20Olivia.
27:21Olivia?
27:22What?
27:23No.
27:24Come in here.
27:25Come in here.
27:26Well, I haven't seen you since you were just a tiny little tater tot.
27:33Yeah, back when we were Girl Scouts.
27:35Are you girls hungry?
27:36I'm starving.
27:37We're not eating.
27:38We're on a cleanse.
27:40Still?
27:42Everyone, this is my niece, Nicole,
27:47and our wonderful friend, Olivia.
27:50Olivia, Nicole.
27:52These are our neighbors, Ray and Sidney.
27:55And, of course, you remember Uncle Robert.
27:59Let me get these nice big wine glasses.
28:02Sorry to interrupt your dinner.
28:04Oh, no.
28:05Don't be silly.
28:06Sit down here.
28:07I want you right by me.
28:08Come on.
28:09These hold plenty of wine.
28:11Trust me.
28:12They can never be big enough, right, Nicole?
28:14You girls must be starved.
28:16Have some dinner rolls.
28:18We're not eating.
28:19We're on a cleanse.
28:20No, thank you.
28:21We're fine.
28:22Nicole is an artist.
28:24You are?
28:26What kind?
28:28Well, I'm working with a lot of sand right now,
28:31because its movement really portrays memories
28:35and how they just slip through your fingers,
28:37and in the past it doesn't really exist anymore,
28:40and we stand on its unsullied ground like a shore
28:42waiting to be washed back into the ocean.
28:45The truth of everything is ephemerality.
28:50And sand is great.
28:54That sounds great.
28:58Her work used to be about black holes.
29:00It's nice to see that you're lightening up a bit.
29:03Would anyone like more kale?
29:05When did they plan this vacation?
29:07I don't know, Nicole.
29:09I know your mom really needed to get away.
29:11She was having another one of her episodes.
29:14The lake is like an ashram for her.
29:16Well, I'm very aware that the lake is super relaxing.
29:18Did you talk to them recently?
29:20How is everyone liking their change?
29:22Oh, my God.
29:23Oh, my goodness.
29:24Oh, look.
29:25I'm such a klutz.
29:26Your little shorts are covered in wine.
29:28Oh, get those off.
29:31I have something you could change into.
29:33Lupe, put her into the blue dress.
29:37I like the outfit.
29:38What is this, a blanket off the plane?
29:41What kind of outfit is this?
29:43She is so funny.
29:46Hey, Kim, come on, tell us.
29:49What's it like being the host of the country's most popular TV show?
29:52I can't wait to tell you.
29:53I just love it.
29:54It's the greatest experience I've ever had professionally.
29:59You know, just fostering all of this creativity and all of this is just so satisfying.
30:06Oh, don't you look so cute.
30:12She looks like you, doesn't she?
30:14I guess she does, just like me five years ago.
30:18Oh.
30:23So, Miss Olivia, what have you been doing with yourself all this time?
30:28Well, I've been auditioning some recently.
30:32You're a performer?
30:33What kind?
30:34I'm an actress.
30:36She also sings.
30:37Sing for us!
30:39Not really.
30:40She's shy.
30:41Well, you can't be shy and an actress.
30:44Robert, where's my ukulele?
30:46I don't know.
30:49We could just do it another time.
30:50Oh, come on.
30:51Have a little bit of red wine, pass those tonsils, you'll be singing like Liza Minnelli in a minute.
30:56What do you want me to sing?
30:58Okay.
31:05Well, I'll start over.
31:11Joe and Jane were always together, said Joe to Jane.
31:17I love summer weather, so let's go to that beautiful sea.
31:23Follow along, say you're with me.
31:27Anything that Joe would suggest to her, Jane would always think it was best for her.
31:35So they'd get his Ford and holler all aboard, gee, I'd like to be
31:42by the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea.
31:47You and me, you and me, oh, how happy we'll be.
31:52I'd love to be beside your side, beside the sea, beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea.
32:01I'd love to be so near you on the snow white sand, beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea.
32:18Bravo.
32:20Fantastic.
32:21We should audition for my show.
32:23I mean, I'm kidding, but, well, you should.
32:26I mean, you should audition for my show.
32:29She is not interested in appealing to the masses.
32:31She's like, she's an artist.
32:34Look at that picture of that adorable little girl.
32:38Oh, yes.
32:39Oh, my goodness.
32:40Is that you, Nicole?
32:42Simply adorable, isn't it?
32:43Sure is.
32:44Adorable little child.
32:46You look like such a sweet little girl.
32:50I'm going to go to the bathroom.
33:02So, can we have a little heart to heart?
33:06Sure.
33:07Why are you here?
33:09Are you here because she needs help?
33:13Because her family just doesn't know what to do anymore.
33:16I mean, honestly.
33:17She's just become so eccentric at such a young age.
33:23You know, I think she's really unique.
33:26She's doing something special.
33:28I wish you could see her apartment.
33:29It's like a gallery.
33:32Well, it's really nice and very reassuring to hear you say that, but I don't know.
33:39I think her family actually didn't invite her to the lake.
