"Hey, Dad." "Uh...whatcha doin'?" "Holly... you remember that Japanese restaurant, Katsu, in the East Village with the tempura that you love?" "We're going there for dinner?" "No." "We're moving to Japan!" "No." "Not again!" "We are not moving again, Dad!" "Why does this have to be such a big deal?" "I am so tired of having my entire world uprooted every time you get a promotion." "I know, sweetheart, but " "What if I go live with Nana?" "Your grandmother?" "She's a terrible influence." "I mean, she doesn't use that stuff for glaucoma." "Holly, please, let me pack." "I've got a 6:00 a.m. flight." "We're moving tomorrow morning?" "No, I'm just going for a week to get set up." "And I've got to call your sister, see if you can stay there until I get back." " No." " Yes!" "It's perfect!" "I can go live in the city with Valerie!" "She just got rid of her roommate." "Yes, and she's very excited about living alone." "Plus, she works crazy hours." "She's got her boyfriend." "It's not like she has to watch me constantly." "I'm more mature now." "Ew, gross -- underpants." "If Val says yes, then why not?" "Well... all right, I'll -- I'll talk to Val." "No, let me." "You're not that great a salesman." "Have you seen my plaque?" "Yes... and the picture of the plaque." "Okay." "All right." "Okay." "You talk to Val." "Thank you, Daddy." "[ doorbell rings ]" "Oh -- that must be my plane tickets." "Ow!"

"Or just keep smiling at the chair, 'cause that doesn't scare me at all." "I'm sorry!" "I just can't believe Roberta's finally gone!" "Not a trace -- nothing left of her but that hideous director's chair... [ sniffs ] and that weird stink of hers." "Come here, Jeff." "You gotta smell this." "Come on, sniff it." "Sniff it!" "No, I better not." "I gotta drive home later." "Remember how she would sit in that chair for hours wearing her depressing black clothes and hating pop culture?" ""I'm Roberta." "Spielberg sucks."" "God, film students ruin everything." "Do you know what this means, Jeff?" "I can use up all the hot water!" "I can open up the curtains and let the sunlight in!" "Oh!"

"Have you seen their trees?" "They're, like, yay big." "Okay." "I have six days to prove to Val that I'd be the most amazing roommate on the planet." "Why don't you just ask her if you can move in?" "Because she's psyched to finally have the place all to herself." "So, before I even bring it up," "I've got to kiss a whole new level of butt." "Why don't you just let me talk to her?" "Why would I do that?" "Because you know she's got a bad case of the "Garys."" "That's weird... 'cause she thinks your name is Glen." "Hey!" "Hey, bug!" "Ooh!" "Wow!" "Your hair looks awesome!" "What'd you do to it?" "I...brushed it." "With what?" "A magic brush?" "Yeah, it's like each strand was combed by an angel." "Thanks." "Hey, you sticking around?" "We were gonna go downstairs and get something to eat later." "Oh, uh, no, thanks." "I have to get going -- to the gym." "Today's, uh... upper body." "Oh, oh -- um... hang on a sec." "Since you're going down, would you mind getting rid of that for me?" "You?" "Y-you're giving me a chair?" "Like -- like a present?" "Okay." "Sure." "I will sit on this as soon as I get home." "Wow!" "Your place looks amazing!" "Wait -- there's something different." "Um, I think that picture used to be on that table." "Yeah, actually, I liked it better where it was." "Oh!" "You have an eye!" "One tiny move, and you open up the whole room!" "Yeah, it's like a cathedral in here now." "I don't know." "If I had the time and money," "I'd love to feng shui this whole place." "Feng shui?" "That band you were so into?" "No, that was Wang Chung." "Oh." "I wasn't into them." "Hey, Val, it's cool." "You know, I totally used to be into the Black Crowes -- oh, wait a minute." "They weren't lame." "Feng shui is a Chinese interior design philosophy." "Okay, that is fascinating." "You -- you are fascinating!" "What a life you've lived!" "It's fascinating!" "I should unpack."

"Hey, you read my People magazine." "Yeah, and Demi Moore is adjusting quite nicely to life outside the spotlight." "Man, if I could snag a client like her, my career would take off like a rocket!" "Bang!" "I think you want "whoosh."" "When you're talking rockets, "bang" is bad." "Well, come on!" "Let's whoosh that rocket!" "Hey, Lisa?" "Lisa Lillien!" "Holly, Holly, stop!" "Hi." "Hi." "You screamed for me?" "Oh -- yeah." "This is my sister, Valerie, and she's basically, like, a public-relations superhero." "And she said if she could snag a client like you that she would take off " "Holly... [ chuckles ]" "Sorry." "She's " "No, it's fine." "I'm already snagged, but do you have a card?" "You never know, right?" "Huh?" "Card." "She's wearing your underwear." "Thank you." "They're very...soft." "This is so nice of you."

"It's my fault for coming over to talk to you people." "Stupid dog!" "Chokes on broccoli, but has no problem licking himself." "Yeah?" "Well, I never choke." "There's one thing I'm good at -- swallowing stuff." "Like, circus good." "Seriously, when I was 5, I swallowed my Mr. Potato Head's legs, arms, and both noses." "And let me tell you, swallowing it was the easy part." "Focus!" "Wait." "I know what to do, but you've gotta help me." "Know what feng shui is?" "No... but I bet I could swallow it."
