Post by bunniefuu »

- Don't be scared.

- Okay.

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

I have an appointment.

Girls, a bra that fits is the single greatest gift that one woman can give another.

And if I see either of you two girls wearing one of those napkins by Victoria's Secrets, I will personally come and m*rder you.

- Booba!

[LAUGHS]

- Hey!

Look what I brought you fresh virgin breast meat.

[CHUCKLES]

I think I know that I'm a 32C, so [LAUGHTER]

You have no idea what you are!

Ah, yes, classic baumgarten shape on these.

WOMAN: Uh-huh.

Same inverted nipple on the right breast?

Of course!

She's my little girl.

So let's get started.

Bring out the measuring rod!

- Okay!

- [LAUGHS]

You have a lump.

It is benign.

Okay, I have to take two bras and sew together because your breasts are very different sizes.

Almost as if they were unrelated, hm?

You're are 28KKK.

- Oof.

- Just call it an L.

- Ooh!

- Oh, yes!

[LAUGHTER]

I feel like I'm not gonna be able to fit my shirt over this.

Did you insert a back brace without telling me?

They are absolute perfection.

- Now, what's the damage?

- Two bras comes to $533.

- Holy expensive.

- (BLEEP) you.

Well, you talk about price-per-wear, we're talking nickels, okay?

- Let's ring it up.

I'm sorry, ladies.

- Okay.

It's wonderful work.

Wonderful.

I kind of like mine.

4 and 3 and 2 and 1 [HUMMING]

How'd you sleep?

Not well.

You snore like a demon.

No, I don't!

- Yeah, you do.

- ­No.

Yes, you do.

Look at this.

You filmed it?

[SNORING LOUDLY]

- Look at that.

- I sound ill.

Yeah, it was very scary, but then after a while, it was kind of cute.

- That's cute.

- ­Come here.

Thank you!

That's so cute!

[COOING]

[LIGHT BULB POPS]

Oh, I have been waiting to replace this, put in ­an energy-efficient bulb, but I had to wait till it was for-real dead, 'cause if I threw it out while it was perfectly good, - that would be so wasteful, you know?

- My eco-warrior princess energy-efficient bulbs, not showering.

I'm loving that lady musk.

I just showered.

- [CHUCKLES]

- You're mean.

[LAUGHS]

- Wow.

- Get it.

Oh, my God.

Do you know what this is?

- No.

- It's a Fruit by the Foot wrapper.

Okay.

Good gaga.

I can't believe this day.

Once upon a time long ago, didn't know ya, I was hard-core hooking up with this very hot, very old dot-com douche named Brad.

TMI, right?

Hate him, loathe him, - grossed out by him now, you know?

- Yeah.

- [SHUTTERS]

- Thank you for that.

But I gave him ­this Waka Flocka Flame ticket, and in order to pay me back, he gave me a third of Bitcoin.

And this ­Fruit by the Foot wrapper, gnarly as it may be, is my ticket ­to that third of Bitcoin.

This is the, like, key, and the password is "Brad has it.

" No.

Brad has the Brad has the password.

sh*t.

[HORN HONKS]

[DOOR SLAMS]

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

[RATS SQUEAK]

[PHONE VIBRATES]

Hey, dude.

Baby, listen up.

I just found the info for my Bitcoin, which reminded me, I have a Bitcoin.

Wow, so what are you gonna do?

Like, pay off your student loans or something?

Sha!

Don't think so, Abb.

This Bitcoin money is not for loans or debt, not rent nor weed or healthcare or any other stupid thing.

This money is to get my wiz-ness woman-owned business up and running.

Oh, you mean Phone Wigs?

I'm using mine right now.

- Ah.

- ­Yeah!

I'm gonna submit a patent as soon as a cash out my third of a Bitcoin.

Want to come with?

Um, I'd love to, but it's my, uh it's my day off, uh, and so it's laundry day, and it looks like ­I got to clean the washer, - and - No, no!

Are you in that dank dungeon that they literally illegally claim to be a laundry room?

You have a job.

Drop that sh*t off.

It just feels so extravagant to drop off laundry.

We're businesswomen, Abb.

Time is money.

I mean, I guess it would be really dope to have some creative and personal time.

Okay.

- Yay!

- ­Yay!

Wiz-ness!

[DOOR RATTLES]

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Hello.

I'd like to drop this stuff off for fluff and fold, and I'm gonna use that time to enrich my life.

- Okay.

- ­Great.

Oh, you know what?

I'm gonna put this in there, too.

Thank you.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

I'm doing it.

[CLEARS THROAT]

So, it's Abbi with an "I.

" Ibbi.

Uh, no, ­it's actually just Abbi.

I like that less.

You can pick it up in an hour.

Wow, an hour.

That's fabulous.

Cool.

So, they call it cryptocurrency 'cause it's so damn cryptic.

Nobody really gets it.

Wait, where are you going?

I'm stepping out to give you privacy.

Stay.

I-I feel like we have a good vibe.

- Oh, okay, all right.

- Okay, great.

Thank you.

So Ahhh [CHUCKLES]

You know what I mean?

It's like all my favorite memories in one place.

Ugh, Dongs.

Okay, so, I got to get this burner phone 'cause I used to hook up with this hot, rich, older, douchey dude who's now a Bitcoin broker, and his info is on one of these.

Well, his d*ck pic is, so if I find the d*ck, I find his number.

Ah, here it is.

Oh, my God, look.

- Do you want to see his d*ck?

- ­No.

- Do you want to see my Phone Wigs?

- No, no.

Anyway, so, I found the Bitcoin code in a ceiling lamp of all places.

[EGG TIMER TICKS]

[SLURPS]

Ahh.

I want to play you one more time - [EGG TIMER DINGS]

Hi.

It's me again.

Here you go.

I'm getting a lot done.

A lot of work stuff, you know.

I'm really productive.

Wow, this is it, huh?

I'm just gonna check it out.

Why not, right?

­Check out your handiwork.

Oh, my goodness.

You got this grease stain out.

I sat on a funnel cake.

Such a waste.

Let's see if that hoodie string stayed in the hole, right?

That's the trickiest part.

Okay, I just don't see my All right, uh, I'm sorry.

T-The sweatshirt's not in the bag.

It's Okay, I'll show you a picture of the sweatshirt.

Okay, this is my favorite sweatshirt.

It's this sweatshirt.

Do you have an itemized list of what was washed?

No list.

We throw all the clothes for the day in a bucket ­with everyone else's stuff, and then we sort them out by memory.

I'm sorry.

We're not responsible.

Wait, what?

Y-You can't just lose people's stuff and then claim no responsibility.

Well, I did not see that.

This is easy to miss.

How did I miss that?

Okay, what happens when someone's clothes go missing?

They never see them again.

Okay, okay, it probably got put in the wrong bag, right?

What if you showed me a list of your other clients that came in today?

- I could call them all myself.

- I cannot do that.

We have patient/client privilege.

Huh.

[CHUCKLES]

[LAUGHING]

[THUMPS]

CHARLOTTE: And now, breaking news from Astoria, Queens, of another missing white woman.

Residents were shaken today as fliers went up picturing the victim.

Police are rounding up suspects and clues as the community waits in anguish.

Oh, no.

Hi, um, news department, I guess?

I'm calling about the missing woman in Queens.

Yeah, I-I'll hold.

Sure.

CHARLOTTE: A mysterious turn in the disappearance of the white woman from Queens.

Authorities have discovered that she was the fifth employee of Soulstice Gym to go missing in the last four years.

- So police have re-opened those cases.

- sh*t.

She is being remembered tonight by friends and coworkers as a sweet, artistic cleaner with a heart of gold.

I was a trainer when I left.

This is unbelievable.

We're still holding out hope that they find Abbi, but, in case they don't, we've lovingly renamed one of the bathrooms - "Abbi's Room.

" - GEMMA: [WHIMPERS]

Also, we ­we've retired her plunger.

Damn it.

Okay, we need another missing-girl story pronto.

- On it.

- Jesus.

But, uh, the fliers?

It was for a sweatshirt, so - What?

­That doesn't make any sense.

- Okay, i-it's a layout issue.

So, I made the flier for a missing sweatshirt from art school, and then now I see that it seems as though I was the missing one.

Huh, a layout issue.

So I'm guessing you didn't finish art school.

Okay, my concentration was in illustration, not graphic design.

- [DIAL TONE]


- Okay.

Great.

- [PHONE CLICKS]

- [DIAL TONE STOPS]

This Bitcoin look is patent leather for my impending patent.

[SCOFFS]

[NORMAL VOICE]

Brad, I'm sorry.

I can't go any slower.

Okay, Phone Wigs are a 21st century cultural phenomenon.

In an age where technology divides and isolates us, Phone Wigs give us the chance to feel comforted, to connect and humanize, and that Look at me.

That is the basis of my wiz-ness.

Wiz-ness.

My wiz-ness.

[SHOUTING]

Wiz-ness!

[GROANS]

Oh, my - [BELL DINGS]

Hey, we found your sweatshirt.

Someone saw it on the news and brought it back.

Thank you so much.

I I'm so sorry I've been telling everyone I pass by - to boycott this place.

- You did what?

No, I'm kidding.

Prank!

Please don't come back here.

You're a bad person.

Hey, sir, you should have this.

What the (BLEEP) is this?

Uh, it's a sweatshirt.

It's actually a vintage sweatshirt with, like, the perfect amount of wear, so MICA?

I went to RISD.

Uh It's too hot out here.

I can't wear synthetics.

Okay.

Well, I am I am sorry, and, um, great.

Chugots!

[CHUCKLES]

Finally.

It took long enough, my Brad.

Now gimme the loot.

Gimme the loot.

Uh, you could learn how to communicate better.

Rude.

­Anyway.

$8,265 has been transferred to your account.

Yes!

The Internet is my forking god!

Whoo!

Yeah, yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Yeah, yeah!

- Hey, come on, now.

- Oh, my God.

- Come on.

Grow up.

- What are you, 26 now?

- ­I'm 27.

And what are you, like, a hot, ripped, uncut 50-year-old?

- 47.

- Okay, fine.

I just mean that we had sex when I was 21.

That's gross.

You grow up, maybe.

Okay, that's fair.

But I was going through a divorce then, and I was in ­a really insecure place, and having sex with someone younger - boosted my self-esteem a little.

- Oh.

I mean, I'm in an age-appropriate relationship now.

That's really good good for you.

Yeah, her name's Marie.

And I think you'd really like her.

Okay, that's cool.

­You're cool.

You're good.

- It was great to see you.

- Great.

- So long.

- Uh, Phone Wigs.

Oof.

ALL: No more Bitcoin!

No more Bitcoin!

Jesus, it's hot out now?

- Who dis?

- MAN: Bitcoin sucks!

Yes, what are we protesting today, huh?

Bitcoin, because it's k*lling the Earth!

[STAMMERS]

What?

It's paperless.

Oh, you know, Bitcoin has to be mined by thousands of computers 24/7.

It's a huge waste of energy because of all the servers it's using.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

And it's the pedophile's currency of choice.

- Oh, it is?

- Fueling the child-sex-trade industry and dominating the illegal-arms world.

Is it hot hot out to you?

Well, you can thank Bitcoin for that, 'cause it's contributing to climate change, so you're feeling the effects.

Bitcoin is k*lling the Earth!

Totally k*lling the Earth!

Good luck with your protest.

Mm.

Okay, so, be honest.

Do I have to donate that $8,000?

I know Bitcoin is evil, but it's, like, no more evil than paper money.

It's also like, what about eating meat?

- [GROANS]

- I mean, the meat industry is the biggest contributor to climate change.

I mean way more than Bitcoin.

Do you know that the fashion industry burns the remainder of its clothes at the end of every season to retain its value?

Mountains of clothes on fire.

Yeah, not to mention that it's all made by little children.

[SCOFFS]

You know recycling's a (bleep) hoax.

You really scrubbing out my udon containers and peeling the labels off and melting the plastic down to re-form them into new udon containers?

Oh, dude, Garbage Island is real.

Mother Earth is like, "Noooo!

Noo!" And we're like, "No, bitch, die, bitch!" It's awful.

­Yeah.

Why is the news not covering this 24/7?

Don't even get me started on the news.

The news is like Like, the news is Like, hey, guys, hey, maybe focus on like, important issues - Honestly.

- like re like, recycling instead of latching on to some stupid but really understandable layout issues on fliers.

Like, what?

Yeah.

What?

Also, ­we are being listened to Pbht.

- all the time.

- ­Ehh.

Anything that we do on social media for free, we pay for through our experience.

We are just "data.

" Whew, I feel so much better.

Thank you so much.

Oh, my God.

Plus, dude, I swear, dudette, derd, I honestly vow, her and nerr, okay?

Do you know this is, like, an ancient Jewish symbol?

This is, like, a Jewish thing.

It's like a mystical, tribal Jewish Hold on.

Just say the thing.

Oh, um, just that I'm gonna follow through and honestly put this money into my Phone Wigs patent.

I'm gonna be investing in a woman-owned wiz-ness, and that's gonna ­tip the scales of progress.

And it uses biodegradable materials.

Human hair!

Ugh, I love that.

I legit love my Phone Wig.

- It's so cute.

- So cute.

Okay, so, it says here that if patent leather has gotten stuck or adhered to your skin or body, the best way to get it off is lubricant.

So, I mean, we could try again with almond oil.

Feh.
