Hi, Robert.

Hey!

Four and three and two and one Oh, God, I guess I'm just not gonna go to work.

Can't you just go in, like, a little bit late?

No, I forgot to lock up last night, so then I was supposed to get there five minutes early this morning to fake lock up.

And it didn't happen, so best thing to do right now is to smoke a lot of pot.

(chuckles)

I mean, I was just gonna go to Bed, Bath and Beyond, but I could definitely do that high.

That's cool.

You know, I could smoke you up.

Yeah, I I thought that's what you meant.

Oh, cool!

- Are you okay?

- I'm okay.

No, it's okay.

(wincing)

Can I give you this money?

This is what we made today so far.

Oh, don't don't even worry about it.

I'm just a silly, upper-middle class NYU bitch, so I wouldn't take money from you.

Hey, I go to NYU too, Tisch School Performing Arts.

We all do.

Tischies.

Congrats.

Oh, this is bad.

No, it looks so good like that.

Why do you straighten it?

'Cause I look like a true Jew if I don't straighten.

It's not necessarily a bad thing.

You wouldn't know.

No, I'm Jewish.

Not full.

Yeah, I'm completely Jewish.

- Check the records.

Yes, I'm starving too.

Jinx tummies.

Ilana, are you kidding me?

Is that the Kenyan hazelnut?

(gasps)

You're fired.

Are you serious?

Yes, you are so completely fired.

(scoffs)

Fine.

God but I'm at least entitled to my one free coffee a day for employees.

You made that up.

There is no one free coffee a day for employees.

You're just a thief.

Wow, did you just call me a queef?

That's sexual harrass Get out, go.

Fine.

(woman)

Yeah, I'm so excited.

First week in New York, I love this city.

(screaming)

Hey, Mel?

Melody, are you home?

(man)

Is this the famous Abbi Abrams?

Fierce 'do!

You must be Matt.

All my friends call me Bevers.

It's nice to meet you, Bevers.

Nice to meet you, Abbi.

Ever since Melody got a job at the law firm, it's like I never see her.

I almost forgot what it's like to have a roommate.

Well, don't get ahead of yourself.

It's not like I'm moving in or anything.

Right.

I've been looking for places all week.

I gotta find something by the weekend, fo' sho.

You know, in the meantime, make yourself at home.

And I just went food shopping.

I'm gonna make you a snack plate.

Uh, are you sure?

I mean, I don't wanna be an imposition around here or anything.

No, it's fine.

I mean, I can't eat a whole wedge of cheese on my own.

Okay.

Can I give you money?

No.

Come on.

Okay I mean, if you ever want me to do chores around here or anything Listen, I'm the host, you're the guest.

I wanna make my host feel comfortable, so as a guest, the rules of the house are I never pay for food, I never do chores, is that correct?

No, that'd be weird.

Okay.

Got it.

Hey, Madisons.

(all)

Hey.

Eww, I am having, like, a salty, wet diarrhea of a (bleep)

day!

What's going on with you guys?

We're actually having our weekly suite meeting.

Why would you have a suite-ing without me?

Okay, um we should just go on with it, even though she's here.

Elizabeth Buton-Bates, will you please resume the PowerPoint?

(gasps)

Madison, what the (bleep)

is this?

Number 27 you call all of us Madison.

What are you talking about, Madis Right, that is rude.

I acknowledge that is rude.

Parker Luxton?

The wall.

What wall?

The wall of graphic p*rn above your bed.

Oh, come on!

I contribute a lot of culture to this suite.

You're always making us watch videos of animals having sex with people.

Oh, my God, again!

I showed you one video.

- Many times.

- Of a man fighting for the sensual pleasure of his life, only to die later from internal bleeding.

It's Mr.

Hands!

It's literally bestiality, and it is literally a crime to watch.

I see because if it were a lady horse and a man, no one would have a problem with it.

They can get (bleep)

married for all I care.

But gay dudes can't get married?

Gay dudes can't get married, so a horse-dude and a dude-dude can not (bleep).

Jessica Merkel-Keller.

Jesus!

We know this one is just mean.

But when your hair is curly, it looks like pubes.

You're a (bleep)

bitch, but I'll go over it with the iron again.

Good job.

(wind chimes)

- That's what a throuple is.

- Wow.

Again, I love your hair curly.

- Thank you so much!

- Yeah.

Okay, okay, if you had to be a throuple with any current couple, who would you pick?

Michelle and Barack Obama, hands down.

Yes, they are so hot as a couple and as the leaders of the free world.

I mean, I am so relieved that we have a hot black guy as president.

I mean, I feel like we're finally moving forward.

And it's just the beginning.

I mean, never backwards.

Only forwards!

Next is a woman.

(both)

Whoo!

(wind chimes)

And so, finally, that brings us to the three principles of natural selection.

These are in your textbook, but I just outlined them here.

(whispers)

Hey (teacher continues indistinctly)

Mm, hi.

Aye, no, did you get kicked in the face - by a subway performer again?

- Oh, ow.

Yeah.

And now, we are going to open the floor to some of our presentations.

Did you bring your presentation?

- And first, we'll have - What presentation?

I mean, what, are we gonna listen to her?

She was eating a burrito bowl.

You know, it's like it could inspire us to live like we're gonna die tomorrow.

Like, imagine if we did something crazy.

- I don't know.

- Yeah, okay.

Like, what if we got a tattoo?

I mean, that's like really big and permanent.

It's cool.

I have always wanted to get one.

But I don't know, then you can't be buried in the cemetery and that whole thing.

Yeah, but that's just for Jewish people.

Yeah, I'm Jewish, remember?

I told you.

I thought you were joking.

No, I'm not kidding.

(wind chimes)

I mean, I have always wanted a tattoo.

But I can't think of anything that I care that much about.

Hm.

Except (tattoo pen buzzing)

Oh, sh*t!

Okay.

Ooh!

(sighs)

Whoo!

Probably watch the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Oh, God.

(sighs)

Okay.

Wow, you're doing good.

Okay.

(wind chimes)

(girls laughing)

(wind chimes)

Ooh, have you ever been to this pizza place on Orchard and Delancey?

It's my favorite.

Plus, sometimes, they give me free pizza.

I don't know that spot, but I always smoke on the median of that intersection, because when a cop sees me, I just throw my bowl into traffic.

You throw a glass bowl into traffic?

Oh, yeah.

Done and done.

(laughing)

What?

So, my roommate's boyfriend is staying with us.

- How long?

- She didn't say.

Oof no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Not liking this.

This don't look good.

This don't smell good, baby.

He sounds like a freeloading bag-of-trash bitch.

I mean, I barely said anything about him.

I haven't even met him yet.

No, you gotta call your roommate right the (bleep)

now and nip this in the ass before he pulls squatters rights on you.

Yeah, okay.

"Nip it in the ass," is that the saying?

(spits)

Yeah, nip it in the ass.

Okay.

(clears throat)

Hey, Melody, it's me.

Um I just wanted to call real quick and tell you that I'm really not comfortable with Matt staying any longer than this week.

And she should break up with him.

Um for real, like, it just doesn't feel right, and it's not what I signed up for.

Okay, oh my God, that that'd be perfect, that's amazing.

Thank you so much for being so open-minded and for listening to me and hearing me.

I really thought that this would be harder, and this is amazing, we're really communicating.

Okay, yeah, I'll see you soon.

That feels I mean, we could just write our names, right?

Classy.

Yeah.

- Whoa.

- Okay.

Abbi with "I".

Ilana with an "I".

It's really nice to meet you.

Yeah, you too.

Um you wanna take a walk?

- Yeah, I'd like that.

- Cool.

So, what's with the black eye?

You know, I'm a supporter of the arts.

I think about that all the time!

Are you serious?
