I don't understand.

Like, Lesley, I-I like you so much.

We're just not on the same page.

I'm a doctor.

I do jiu-jitsu and have hobbies.

" But aren't you 30?

Wow, wow.

You're f*cking nuts, Lesley!

And my phone screen isn't even cracked.

And guess what, Lesley?

I'm going to a play today.

- Yeah, with Ilana's parents, who, I'm assuming, paid for the tickets.

Actually, you know what, Lesley?

I think that we're done.

I think that you should get out of my house.

Finally on the same page about something.

You know what?

Why don't you take your ugly-ass hat back, too.

Fine.

Is your eye okay?

I'm just going for, like, a structured architectural brow today.

No, no.

Like, it's red.

It looks really irritated.

Yeah, I got this, like, AC drop in my eye before.

It was just, like, air conditioning pre-cum like Ninja Turtle juice.

Yeah, you know, we got to cash in on this, El.

I mean, one of those whats-their-faces is worth, like, a billion dollars.

ILANA: You know, you really should be putting weight on the good foot.

Look at how fast you're going.

Good job.

Hey, girls.

- Hungry?

She's a professional.

Someone's making a dank Instagram story.

Yes, it's a story about a grown woman at the theater.

You cannot go to the DevaCurl sh**t like this.

You got to go to a doctor right away and get this cleared up, for the family honor!

Doctor?

I don't have a "doctor" "here.

" Wait, you don't have a doctor here?

No one in the city does.

That's why it's a cesspool.

All right, it's an emergency!

Go to the emergency room.

- Go to St.

Vincent's.

- It's condos.

- All right, so Cabrini!

- Also condos.

How 'bout that what's-his-name doctor on Houston St. ?

It's not condos, but it's a Whole Foods.

Hey, can you drive me downtown and just weave in and out of traffic very fast?

Listen, I'm not a pedicab driver.

I'm a real estate broker.

Read the sign.

Okay, then why do you have a pedicab?

It's the fastest way to get clients to apartments for multiple viewing.

You know, I think I-I know you.

- Are you a cop?

- No.

But you showed my friend and I an apartment years ago, a bunch of shitty apartment.

I mean, they were all literal crime scenes.

Oh, yeah, crime scene homes are my speciality.

You know, I got an ex that works in the NYPD.

He hooks me up.

I just give him a hand job once and a while.

Okay, since we have a history can I please get a ride?

This is a modeling emergency.

Look, I've been pedaling my butt off all day.
