Felicity: I hadn't seen
him in three months.

Of course I was excited.

And he called me
from his cellphone

When he was a block away,
so I guess he was excited, too.

Oh, how are you, doll?!

How are you?

Let me look at you.

You look adorable, as always.

Come here.

Oh! A little sugar! Oh!

Be careful with those.

Javier: so, how are
your little friends?

I think everyone's good, but I
haven't really seen anyone yet.

I'm gonna meet julie
and elena today.

We're gonna go check out
our new dorm. And noel?

It's weird. I haven't talked
to noel all summer. What?!

Yeah, the last time I saw
him was at your wedding

When he left early
with your cousin.

What do you mean, my cousin?

Natalie.

Okay, nobody told me noel
and natalie were a thing, okay?

I did not know that.

Noel has to stay away
from natalie, okay?

I mean, she is... She
is a man destroyer.

She leaves behind her
a trail of former men.

I'm sure he's fine.
I'm sure he's fine.

Oh, I hope so, so much.

So, you excited
about your new place?

Oh, my gosh, yeah!

It's a student apartment.
It's supposed to be amazing.

Okay, well, if you
need any furniture,

Then you give me a hoot.

Furniture? Mm-hmm.

So the best part was javier
has this friend mitchell,

Who was moving from
brooklyn to chicago

And needed to get rid
of all this furniture.

I mean, this guy was using
a whole studio apartment

As a storage room.

Can you believe that?

Mitchell said anything
without a blue tag.

Oh, this one has a blue tag.

Oh, too bad.

Javier, don't.

Don't worry about mitchell.

He's got a huge
job at a "dot-comb."

At a what?

A dot-com, you know.

The internet.

So, what time does
benjamin get in?

5:00. I'm going crazy.

Hi. Excuse me. I'm the manager.

We're putting this place
up for rent next week,

And I gotta get
some measurements.

Javier: oh, that's okay.

We were just
leeching off my friend.

Excuse me. I-i'm just curious.

Um, do... Do you have someone
lined up to rent the place?

Not yet.

Is it gonna be expensive?

Sean: so, tell us
where you're going?

Sean, do we have
to do this right now?

I told you... The
independent film channel

Wants to do "docuventary"
as... As a series,

Like a weekly thing, so
I really need your help.

Right now is not the
best time for me, okay?

It is the best time. It's drama. I
need a hook for every episode.

Okay, fine. Look, I'm gonna
go meet elena and julie,

And we're gonna look
at our new apartment.

Why are you so flustered?
Why are you so flustered?!

Because I got to talk
to them about something.

Share that with
the camera. Share it.

I don't want to share
with the camera.

Okay, great. You got me.

I'll give you a piece
of the profit. No!

Sean...

Wow. This is pretty nice.

This is a dorm? Welcome
to college, mrs. Tr*mp.

Whoo! Oh, my god!

How are you?

How was your summer?

Oh, my god. Tracy... Sean!

What? Forget it. I'm not here.

Just keep reunionizing.
Do it. Keep going.

You making another
"docuventary"? Yes.

This is gonna be the
new reality-based series.

I'm telling you,
it's gonna be hot.

I'm okay. I'm good.

Sean! What?! Julie...

Put the damn camera down!
Julie, you're gonna love this.

The independent film channel
wants it as a series now.

Say what you want. I'll be sh**ting
you for the next couple of months.

And then I'll be...

That's beautiful!
That was perfect!

So, the other girl isn't
coming for, like, two weeks.

She's from england.
That's all we know.

Look at the size...
Transfer student.

This is the second-largest
apartment on campus.

You have to see the
guys across the hall.

Oh... My... God. I've
only seen one...

Look at the size of
this place. Oh, my god.

Is this the best place
for a party, or what?

Um...

You guys are gonna k*ll me.

What happened?

I-i might not be living here.

What?

I-i saw this apartment. It's... It's
this tiny, little place in brooklyn.

Wait. You're ditching us?

I just... When I saw this place,
I couldn't help it, you guys.

I just had this vision of what it
would be like to live there with ben.

So i-i took the place.

Wow. I didn't know you guys
wanted to live together.

I mean, he doesn't... He
doesn't know about it yet.

You took it without telling him?

Well, i-i mean, yeah.

But I can get rid of it if he
doesn't want to live there.

You guys, don't look at
me like I'm crazy. I just...

I just miss him, and when
I saw this apartment,

I couldn't think of
anything more romantic

Than staying there with him.

Okay. Reality check.

I just spent the whole summer
with tracy, and I can tell you,

What you think
it's gonna be like...

It's not gonna be like that.

Well, he might not
even want to do it.

But I just had to warn you guys

That maybe there's,
you know, a chance

That, um, I might be living
in brooklyn this year.

I'm sorry, guys.

Okay, so if you're leaving us,
who's gonna take your place?

Meghan's looking...
No. No. Unh-unh.

I'm just saying that's a
person who needs a place.

I brought you a... A
plant for your place.

Sean: tell us about
your amazing summer.

I-i spent the summer
with my... My new boyfriend

Who's amazing in bed.

Okay. That's very funny.

Um, seriously, tell
us where you've been.

Um, i-i... You know, I spent
the summer with the mak...

The maker of this
documentary, in tuscany,

And it was a mostly good time.

Okay.

What do you mean, "good"?

"Good time"?

What happened to "the most
amazing summer of my life"?

I think that was you.

No, that wasn't me.

So, how was your summer?

I don't want to talk about it.

Oh, come on, man. What happened?

I ended up working in orlando...

At a certain theme park.

Oh, really? How was that?

Let's just say not every female
rodent character you meet

Is played by a female
park employee.

You're kidding.

No. Not so much.

Uh, we spent the
summer volunteering

At the children's
hospital of buffalo.

It was intense. I loved it.

You should have seen
him with those kids.

He's gonna be an amazing doctor.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I was gonna say the
same thing about you.

Okay, wait. Okay.

Sean: now, last spring,
you guys hadn't had sex

Because of tracy's
religious beliefs.

No, and we still haven't
slept together, which is fine.

Man: hello! Because it's not
an issue with us anymore.

Excuse me.

We're gonna have a
kegger across the hall,

If you guys want to come party.

Um...

Fine. Um, sure.

Maybe later.

Cool. Whenever.

Sean: so, now that you're back,

Are you guys worried
about other students?

I mean, you know, temptation.

No.

So, tell me, what about you?

Are you excited
to be a freshman?

Oh, yeah. I preregistered
and everything.

And you know what?
I can't wait to rush.

Oh, you're gonna rush?

Well...

Okay, I don't know
what it is, really.

It's, you know...

I just heard it's something
that freshman people do.

Should I not do it?

The worst part about my
summer was towards the end

When I started to look for noel.

I mean, I miss the
guy, you know.

He disappeared last
year with javier's cousin.

And then it turns out he
left some cryptic message

On his brother's
machine in june,

And that's all anybody knows.

Sean: what? Are you serious?

Yeah, yeah. Remember that
girl, looks like the doritos chick?

Wait a minute. This is our hook.

What? There's no hook
here. This is my friend.

No, no, no. That's the
theme of this episode.

Every reality-based
show needs a theme.

This is our theme,
man. This is it.

It's a mystery. It's fantastic.

Yeah, I like how you're using noel's
abduction for selfish reasons.

No, that's nice. What?!
No, no, no, no, no.

Richard! No, I'm not!
No. Just don't, sean.

Hey, it's a show.
I'm going home.

Elena: I'm so mad at noel.

I don't care where he
is. That's how mad I am.

I just...

I hope he's all right.

Wait. No one's heard from noel?

Sean: nope. No one.

Not even richard? No.

You're kidding.

No. I was in maine all summer.

But, you know, I did... I
expected to hear from him,

At least get an e-mail
or something, but no.

God, what is he gonna
do, miss his senior year?

So, what do you
think of that graphic?

Felicity: I don't like it.

Why not?

Because it's hokey.
And it's not funny.

What if something
really happened to him?

Hey! Hey!

How are you?

How you doing?

I have something to ask you.

Can I just ask you? Yeah. Sure.

Um, I saw this apartment.

It's just this, uh... The
sweetest little place.

It just was a storage
room for someone before,

And now they're
gonna rent it out.

And I just thought that... What?

What? Do you... You
want to live together?

Is that a stupid idea? I mean...

Or is it...

You already took
the place, didn't you?

You did.

Sort of, but it will be
so easy to get rid of.

The manager said that there are
a lot of people that wanted it. Yes.

Are you sure? Yeah, let's do it.

Oh, this is gonna be
so much fun. Yeah.

Oh, I missed you.

Yeah, I missed you, too.

This is so heavy...

Impossibly heavy!

Okay. Put it up here.

Aaah!

Ow! Ow!

Just don't puss out on me, okay?

We just got one
more. Oh, my god.

Look, I know you guys
don't want me staying here.

That's not true.

Like crap it's not true.

Listen, I was supposed
to stay with earl.

You remember earl? Mm-hmm.

But his parents rented
the apartment to some jerk.

I don't know, my point is,

That I know sean
put you up to this.

I know you're doing it more for
the free furniture than anything,

And I just want to say that...

You know, that...

You're welcome.

Great. You know what I mean.

Yeah, we do. Okay.

Okay, let's go get
the last heavy trunk.

So, who's this new girl?

She's from england.
That's all we know.

She'll be here in
a couple weeks.

It's great, isn't it?

And look at this over here.

Oh, what... What's...
What... What is that?

The breakfast nook.

Oh, the, uh... The
breakfast nook.

Yeah, it's sort of...
Sort of a hellhole.

I mean, it definitely
needs a good cleaning.

It's an actual hellhole.

It's just so...

Dirty. It's filthy.

It's so romantic.

The electrical sockets
don't work. They surge.

Has ben said anything
to you about it?

I care way too much
about her feelings

To tell her what I
really think about it.

Do you think he
likes it? I hate it.

Sean: yeah, he loves it. Really?

Yeah, I hate it.

Look, the interview's over.

Okay, here's the
latest. Sean: go.

Noel's mother gets a
phone call in mid-july

Wishing her a happy birthday.

But the connection's so staticky

That when she asks
him where he was,

She couldn't hear what he said.

Oh, this is so good. No,
it's not good. It's scary.

Three weeks ago, ryan, brother,

Gets a postcard in the mail

Of, uh, baseball
legend nolan ryan

With a handwritten
note that says,

"Saw this and thought
of you, love, noel."

It was postmarked
from manhattan.

Oh, I get it. Yeah.
Noel and ryan.

Nolan ryan. Good.

Okay, I go to the
housing office.

Student body president, and I
have a little clout over there.

Turns out noel hasn't
registered for housing

And hasn't even submitted
his first tuition check yet,

Which can only indicate that
he's somewhere in the city,

And he has no intention
of returning to college.

So, what are you
gonna do about it?

I'm gonna find him.

As god is my witness,
I'm gonna find him.

Oh, no, no.

Yeah, I know.

Oh, no.

Yeah, I know.

Oh, no.

I know, I know.

You said "yes" to this?

Well, I hadn't seen it yet.

This is where she wants to live?

Yeah. There it is.

What, the nook?

Yeah, that's the... That's
the breakfast nook.

Okay, uh, you got
big problems. I know.

And not only that, I got to find a
new roommate now. This whole thing...

What is that? That'll
probably go away.

Let's say it does go away, still,
what the hell am I gonna do?

Give me a second, okay?
Genius takes a little time.

And look at this. Look at this.

Look at this water. There's,
like, activity in the water.

Oh! Okay. All
right. This is bad.

I know, and she
loves this place.

Okay, I got... I got
one really good idea.

When is felicity getting back?

Uh, she's in a seminar,
so a couple hours.

A couple hours? Good. Okay.

Javier: okay.

Ever since I was a little kid,

My, uh, my mama
used to say to me...

She'd say, "jota..." Sean: jota?

Yeah, that's her little
"nickel" name for me. Yeah.

She'd say, "jota,
study real hard, okay?

"Study, study, study, you know,

"So one day you can, you know,

Grow up and go to university."

It was like a big
issue with her...

Like huge deal, you know?

Because no one's ever
gone to college in my family.

But the thing was,
i-i-i-i didn't want to go.

Why's that?

Well, you know, I was young.

I wanted to party and be wild,

And, you know, be experimental
and stuff like that, you know.

And, you know, i...

This is back in the day
when I had hair, you know?

So...

The day I'm supposed to
take the spanish equivalent

Of, um, the s.a.t.s here,

Um, I went to the beach
instead with guillermo, yeah.

It broke my mama's
heart, you know.

So that's why I want to go now.

Your mother must be
very proud of you now.

Well, she doesn't even know.

She doesn't know
I'm going to college.

No. She doesn't know.

I haven't told her
that I'm a freshman.

Jota, why?

Well, no... In december
is her 65th birthday.

And for her present,

I'm gonna give her one
of my report cards...

Uh, assuming that
my grades are okay.

Maybe I should go study.

Yeah. Okay.

Well, I'll call you later.

Okay. Good luck. All
right. Thank you. Bye.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait a sec, wait a sec.

Hey, I got, uh, our
first major appliance,

So just hold on.

Is it a coffee machine? We
need one so desperately.

Hold on a second, babe.

What are you doing?

Okay. Hold on. Hold on.

Huh?

Apparently, the picture
on this thing is unbelievable.

And as soon as we get
cable, we're gonna have, like,

Our own home-theater system.

And if you want, we can hook
up speakers all around the room,

Then we can have,
like, surround sound.

I think it will be great,
you know what I mean?

That, um, I mean, that must have
been p-pretty expensive, right?

It was. Yeah. Uh,
sean knew a guy.

Oh. Sean. Yeah.

What did you get?

The, you know, just...
You know, shampoo

And cleaning stuff,
like that, you know?

I'm glad I saw you. I'm on my...

Mm.

Could you, uh...

Could you be careful? Sorry.

It's okay. It's just there
was no other place to put it.

Every other socket I
plugged it into sparked, so...

You don't think
it's too big, do you?

Do you?

Um...

No.

You sure?

Yeah. All right, then...

You know what? We'll watch
really romantic movies on it.

Yeah.

All right, I got to go. I'll
be back in a couple hours.

Bye.

Bye.

So we hear footsteps
outside the door.

And we both freeze.

Oh, stop!

It's my parents.

They're stunned, and
sean looks up, and he goes,

"Mr. And mrs. Rotundi, you
have a really comfortable bed."

Hello.

Hey, how's it going with
meghan? Do you hate me?

No. We're having fun. We're
painting the, uh, kitchen.

It's gonna look great.

Oh. Well, good.

So, how's it going over
there? Really good.

Um, hey, you know theater
five at the angelika?

Yeah.

Well, we have a tv over here
that's bigger than that screen.

I thought you said
your place was tiny.

Yeah, I did.

Hey, so I might need
to borrow your vcr.

Anytime. So...

Have you guys, uh,
christened the apartment yet?

Uh, tonight.

I think we're gonna
have, like, a romant...

Hello? What?

Uh, sorry. Nothing. I
just thought I saw a bug.

But it couldn't
have been a bug...

That big.

Let me see please,
uh... Ooh, that's pretty.

Nice and plain, right
there. That one in there.

Yes, that one.

So, no one of my relatives
knows where natalie is.

Not even norma, and she's
like the nexislexis of the family.

Wherever noel is

Has become like this
unsubstantiated mystery,

And I don't like it one bit.

This is pretty.

Sean: but you're not upset
enough to not go shopping?

Well, I forgot to
get my mother a gift,

So I gotta get her
something. Mmm.

Could we... Could we,
like, inscribe in here

"Made in espana"?

Can we do that please?

What?

Oh, my god!

What?

There's a bug. A... A giant bug.

Oh, man. You gave
me a heart att*ck.

It's... It's so huge.
It's under the tv.

So what?

Not "so what." You got to go...

Please just go get
it. It's way over there.

The apartment isn't big
enough for "way over there."

Please, will you just go get it?

You're... You're gonna need a
little more than that napkin.

Uh, yeah, the bug
can't be that big.

Ben, the bug.

Forget the bug. What the
hell are they doing down there?

Who cares? Let's
k*ll the mutant roach.

And then the sound will go away.

See, the sound doesn't go away.

It went on this afternoon
for, like, an hour.

Excuse me! Excuse me.

Could you... Could you
cut that out, please?!

I'll get the bug myself.

Excuse me.

You want to cut
that out down there?!

Could you turn it off, please?

Ben, it's probably the pipes. We'll
call the manager in the morning.

If they keep this up, I swear to
god I'm gonna kick someone's ass.

I live downstairs.

I'm really sorry, but
when I turn on my bathtub,

What happens... It's
the pipes go bang.

Well, you know, don't
worry about it. I mean...

There's nothing you can do.

I'll call the manager again

And tell him to fix it.

Okay. No pressure.

I mean, do it whenever
you can, okay?

All right, uh...

Good night.

Good night. Good night.

What?

Nice ass-kicking.

What was I gonna do?

I told you it was the pipes.

I said we could call the
manager in the morning.

All of a sudden... Oh, my god!

Jesus, that's a big bug.

Oh, my god.

Okay, did you get any bug spray?

The cleaning stuff. I just
got cleaning stuff. Okay.

Yeah, but that's not
gonna do anything to it.

It'll disorient him and then
he's... He's gonna get the shoe.

I can hear him breathing.

Could you grab
me the lamp, please?

Oh! Oh, my god!

Whoa! Jeez, okay.
Unplug the lamp.

I am, I am, I am. Great.
Now we got a fire.

I've been through this before.
We need a fire extinguisher.

Under the sink.

Oh, my god!

I know, I know.
I'm putting it out.

No, there's more bugs down here.

We got a fire. I think
this gets priority.

Okay, watch out.

Oh.

Now what do we do? I don't know.

Hi, guess who came
okay to... Fire! Ay!

I don't...

Ooh, I don't like that tv.

Clear, clear! Down, down!

Down!

I hear yelling. Is
everything okay?

Yeah, just a little fire.

Bugs. Fire and bugs.

Okay, please tell me she
doesn't live in the building.

Drop it.

Elena and I both
wanted this one class,

"Introduction to emergency
medicine research methodology."

It's an elective
limited to 25 students.

You get in through lottery.

What they do is you get a
number sealed in an envelope,

1 Through 25 get the class.

The rest? Sorry for you.

Elena: we both were
being real competitive

About getting into the class.

So I said, "let's wait
to open the envelopes,

Let's go to dinner, and open
the envelopes at the restaurant."

Tracy: so I agreed.

But, uh, you know,
there's too much pressure.

You know, and I got enough
pressure going on as it is.

So, uh, I opened the envelopes
and, uh, got all sneaky with it.

It had the little gummy seals.

What I saw was that I got
in, and elena didn't, so...

The plan was if
both of us got in

Or if neither one of us got
in, we would split the dinner.

But if one of us got in,
that person would pay.

Tracy: so I switched
the numbers.

I gave her my number because I know
she really, really wanted that class.

So we ordered way too
much food sort of as a joke,

And then we opened
the envelopes.

So, when I look at the numbers,
I see I got my old number back.

She switched the numbers, see?

My baby switched the numbers.

It just gave me
chills, you know.

Elena: he really
wanted that class.

I mean, it meant a lot to him.

I mean, he got all
teary-eyed and everything.

But don't tell him I told you.

It was the best free
dinner I ever had.

He punched the glass
and cut his hand open.

We spent three hours

At the university
hospital emergency room.

Oh, my god.

Six stitches.

Six stitches is nothing.

I got 15 in my right ass cheek.

What happened?

None of your business.

Maybe living together
so soon was a mistake.

Hey, don't think you're
moving back in here

And kicking me out.

No, I'm just wondering.

I mean, it's only been one
day and already there's...

There's just so much
stuff to deal with.

Not to mention this woman
who lives downstairs.

She's so... God, she's so
beautiful, and ben was like...

A guy.

Such a guy.

God.

You should have seen this rat.

I thought you said it was a bug.

No, there is a bug, too.

So, we barely sleep
all night, right?

And then this morning, we
wake up and we're just so cranky.

And it's just not...

Not what I thought it
was gonna be, I guess.

You guys haven't
gotten it on yet, huh?

There have been too many
distractions to get anything on.

Just like I was saying to sean,

Domestication is the
enemy of romance.

That is so not true.

Okay, who wants to take
a relationship i.q. Test

And compare notes?

I agree with julie.

What are you gonna do?

I'm not gonna give up.

Well, remember you can
always move back in here.

Thank you.

I'm not going anywhere.

Don't bully me.

Okay.

Do you mind if I lie
here for a little bit?

Reminisce about
what it used to be like

To live in this... This
perfect environment?

Uh, sorry it's not working out.

There's just so much
crap to deal with.

I mean, it's not
like living here

Or in the dorm where
everything is taken care of.

There's just... There's
just so much crap.

Yeah, that's true.

An "apartment" is really
the wrong word for it.

It should be called
a hassle. Yeah.

That way if someone says,

"Hey, man, you want to get a
hassle together," you're like, "no."

The tv really didn't help at all

Because it's become,
like, this fort

For all the animals and insects.

You got to get an exterminator.

I know. I did that. One
came this morning.

Good.

But you know what? It's
weird living with somebody.

I mean, it's not like
staying in a motel


Where... Where again everything's
there and taken care of.

I mean, we had a
20-minute conversation

About where to put the forks.

The forks?

Yeah, the forks.

I mean, it's like, "you
want the forks here?"

"Wherever you want them.
Do you want them here?"

"Here's good." Do
you know what I mean?

It was like... It was like nuts.

Okay, ben. It's been one night.

I know, but that...
That's my point.

So you know what?
Get a new place.

I can't. I don't have
the time or the money.

The place is dirt cheap, which is
appropriate. Okay, you know what?

You got to approach it the same
way I do business ventures, okay?

One step at a time.

Seriously, y-you can't
just do it all at once.

Like with me, step
one... Get a great idea.

Step two... Build the prototype.

And step three... Testing,

Which, by the way,
is the crucial phase.

So one step at a time.

Yep.

Well, the sink is leaking.

I could fix the
sink. There you go.

Yeah, I'm gonna go fix the sink.

I'm gonna lie down for
five more minutes, okay?

Okay?

Yeah, lie down, ben.

My... My birth father was sick.

He needed a... A
kidney transplant.

So I tested to see
if I was a match.

And I wasn't.

So...

I got to know him
a little bit, though.

He was a totally amazing guy.

He, um, d*ed on july 7th.

So...

You know, I'm just really
glad I got to know him

As well as I did.

I'm making rosemary
chicken. It's my mom's recipe.

Sean: hey, how are
your parents doing?

Uh...

They're, um...

They're... They're
getting divorced, so...

But, hey, let's talk
about rosemary chicken.

That sounds delicious.

Ben's gonna love it.

Excuse me to bother you,

But I spoke with the manager,

And he told me I could
not use my bathtub

Because the pipes might explode.

But I'm a dancer,

And I really need to
take a bath for my back.

Is there any way I can
take your bathtub?

Oh, you... You want to
use... Use my bathtub?

Okay?

Look, look, my girlfriend's
on... On her way home.

I don't really think so.

Please, please, please.
I'll be very soon. No.

Can I just see if it works?

Um...

Okay.

Hey, what is that?

What?

That light. That red light.

Are you videotaping us?

No. What? No, no, no, no.

You son of a bitch.

Come on, I thought it'd be fun.

That's not a good place for it.

It's such a limited angle.

You want it over here
on the side, you idiot.

Hey.

You know what?

Don't call me an idiot, okay?

I'm a documentarian.

I have a little camera-savvy.

Blumberg productions.

She's in the bathtub.

Hello? I can't hear you. Hello?

I said, "she's in the bathtub."

Who's in the bathtub?

The... The supermodel.

Your ne... Your neighbor?

Hey, is that ben?

I heard about that
neighbor. She's in the bathtub?

What the hell's she
doing in the bathtub, man?

I don't... I don't know.
She just asked to use it.

Let me talk to him. Hey, ben.

If that girl is in your
bathtub, your ass is grass.

You understand me? Can you
put sean back on, please?

Hey, man, listen. I
don't know what to do.

She just came in and started
using it. I couldn't stop her.

Okay, well, I guarantee that
excuse is not gonna hold up.

Oh, my god, she's home.
Okay, I gotta go, I gotta go.

Hi.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi. I'm brigette...

Posterchek.

Hello.

Can... Can I talk to
you for a second?

Yeah.

Okay.

What is she doing in
our living room bathtub?

I know. Uh, the manager
didn't want her to use hers.

That's actually your
answer? I know, I know.

She's gonna be out of here
in a couple minutes. I'm sorry.

I was... I was planning on
making you a romantic dinner,

But where would you two like it?

In here or would it be better
out there? Wait a second.

I'm really sorry. No,
seriously, it'll be fun.

I think I saw a tv
out there, too.

Wait a second. I-i didn't
even want to be here at all.

The only reason
I said "yes" to this

Is because you
wanted it, not me.

You never even asked
me if living together

Was something I'd
ever thought about.

I did ask you. You could
have said "no" to this place.

How the hell am I supposed to say
"no" to you after you already took it?

I mean, there was no saying
"no" to moving in with you.

Is that what you wish, that
you would have said "no"?

Well, I absolutely never
would have taken this place.

Well, that's a problem that
shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Look, I was just...

I was trying to make
this place work for me.

Yeah, I saw the bathtub.

I was trying to fix the pipes.

You know, I bought
a coffee machine.

They found noel?

Sean: all right, so
what do you got?

Okay, so, uh, I went
around with these pictures,

Uh, asking what people knew.

Um, I finally found a girl
who works at the skippy club

Who says she, uh, she
knows a guy who... Who heard

That natalie was hanging
out with a guy named leon.

Apparently some wild guy.

So, I'm kind of nervous
about going there by myself,

So, you know, that's
why I'm calling everybody.

The manager didn't
want her to use hers.

I cannot believe
that is what he said.

Then he just walked out with
that girl still in the bathtub? Yeah.

What do you know? I
saw that woman, okay?

And she remind me
a lot of my cousin.

That girl can get anything
she wants, no matter what.

He could have said "no."

Sean: just don't be mad at him.

He wasn't into that
girl. He called me.

He was freaked out.
He wasn't happy about it.

Richard: okay, here we are.

My private d*ck work
has taken us here.

We'll hear about
your d*ck work later.

Man: yeah?

Yeah, is this leon?

Yeah.

Could we talk to
you for a minute...

About a friend of ours?

Guys!

Oh, it is so good to see you.

Wow! Hey.

Wow, you smell good.

Oh, hey.

What the hell is
with this "leon" crap?

Look at your hair.
Man, who are you?

Leon... It's "noel"
spelled backwards.

It's just a joke with a
circle of people I'm...

Uh, come in. Come on, come on.

♪ Can't wait for summer ♪

Noel: yeah, I'm sorry
it's such a mess.

We're, uh, we're packing.

We're going away for the
weekend, so, you know...

Felicity: noel, what's going on?

We've all been
worried about you.

Me? Yeah? Huh.

Why?

You haven't called
anyone all summer.

Because we're all back
in school and you're not.

Yeah, I meant
to call you, I did.

Everything's just...
It's been so crazy.

It's been crazy?!

You haven't called
me all summer?

You just took off. You
left me in the apartment.

I had to pack and
move out by myself.

Hey, where'd you go, man?

Cuba. Yeah, how crazy is that?

I mean, we went through canada.

We were there for, like,
a month, so it was, uh...

Natalie: oh, hi! Hey.

Hey, javier. Don't you "hey" me.

Are you crazy messing around
with my friend's little head?

We should go if we're
gonna make that plane.

We'll be back, uh,
monday, probably, um...

Can we, like, get
together then...

Just wait a second.
What about college?

I mean, I don't understand.

Yeah, I'm not going back.

I decided this summer to let
the good times roll, you know.

I mean, I think I see
what he's trying to do.

I mean, noel's trying to
be impulsive and... And fun.

That's what I was trying
to do with the apartment.

But, god, you saw how
different he looked.

Yeah, I don't know
what we should do.

What did I tell you? That
natalie girl is capital "t" trouble.

Tracy: I'm telling you.

It's like the dude's been
hypnotized or something.

I mean, that is not
the guy I met last year.

What's a leon, yo?

I'm thinking of
calling the police, uh...

I don't really know what to say.

But I'm going back to
my buddy, you know.

It's like nam.

I'm going back in for my friend.

So, I think I'm gonna give
up your friend's place.

No! Don't give up on it so fast.

There's... There's always
things you will need to fix

In a new place.

Samuel and i... We had to get
our whole place re-piped up.

No, I know we could, you
know, fix it up eventually, but...

I can just tell, I mean,
even after one night.

There's this pressure
living together.

Not just, you know, all the
stuff in the apartment, but...

I don't know.

It's just going through
all of it together.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, well, that I cannot argue.

Whatever place you get,
it's... It's tough no matter what.

Well, um, I'll see
you at dean & deluca.

Oh, no. You are not
taking the subway.

Javier, I'm fine.

I will not hear that.
No, here, please.

Please.

Thank you.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you.

Ooh, there's a cab for you.

Come here!

Hey.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Thinking about your dad?

You know what, um...

I would really like to
be alone right now, okay?

Um, okay, well...

If you want to talk...

Sean: so you walked out on her?

Yes. I-i know I shouldn't
have taken off on her.

But I just...

I get so... I get so frustrated

With that stupid
apartment, you know.

I mean, I don't get it.

Somehow through all
the vermin and the filth,

She sees something
beautiful in that place.

Well, I got news for you, pal.

Felicity looks at you
through those same eyes.

Wait, wait. Wait, wait.

Can I come? No.

Come on!

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Uh, just finishing
up. One second.

Um, I'm... I'm really sorry
about the bath thing.

I, uh...

I wanted to say "no," and
I should have said "no."

And I really... I-i didn't
even look when she got in.

And, anyway, it doesn't matter.

There's no excuses. I'm just...

I'm sorry.

I mean, yes, there are things
about this apartment that I hate,

But we're gonna fix those things,
and we're gonna make this work.

We're getting rid of the
cineplex. I already called the guy.

We're gonna tell
brigette posterchek

That, uh, she has to
use her own bathroom.

And we're gonna fix this, and
we're gonna make this great.

I already gave up the apartment.

What? What do you mean?

Yeah, I saw the manager in
the hall and, uh, it's gone.

So you can move
back in with sean,

And I'll go back to the dorm.

Are you serious?

You... You really gave it up?

I was just thinking,
you know, that...

I mean, the first two years of
college were rough enough.

I mean, this year I
want to have fun.

You know?

Living together was a romantic
idea, but just a lot of work.

Yeah, it was a lot. A little...

A little much.

Yeah, it's a little much.

Yeah.

We still have the apartment
for tonight, though, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

You really want that?
