Nick: Look, if you guys have any constructive criticism,
I'd love to hear it.
You should quit.
Nick: There's this girl I'm kind of in love with right now,
But she wants to keep it casual.
The casual stuff, that's my bit.
Uh, no it's not!
We came up with that bit together
When we were in bed!
I'm gonna burn your life down.
Connor: How come we're not good together?
Raquel: Who says that?
We do.
Kal: Look, I know I want you with me.
I want to build a life, just us.
Dynasty: Hey, Kal.

Rook: He was defendin' himself!
Stohn: Defending himself?
You felt your life was being threatened,
Is that it?
Rook: The little queer tried to kiss him!
What'd he expect was gonna happen?
Pretty sure he didn't expect that!
Rook: Well, you provoke a wild dog, you gonna get bit!
Stohn: Mr. King's not a pit bull!
He's a public figure with a criminal record
Who is currently out on parole in the state of california!
Rook: It's not like the kid is dead!
If this kid talks to the cops,
He's going back to jail.
That's all there is to it!
So we find him first,
And we make sure he knows what happens to people
When they talk.
Absolutely not!
Me and kal have been friends our whole lives,
And been through a hell of a lot worse,
So I think I know how to make our little problem go away.
What are you going to do to this kid
That you haven't already done?!
Don't answer that!
We need to get him to sign a confidentiality agreement
And pay him off.
That's how we deal with this!
I'll find him.
I strongly recommend you let me handle this.
Kal, trust me, I got this. I'm telling you.
I'm telling you!
I'm gonna take care of it.

Five bucks for those muffins?
No thanks.

Okay.
Nick, it's important. I just...
Scott: Listen, we're putting together a writing room

Uh, like a... Like a writer's packet?
It's for a writers room, so that's what I'd bring,

I have a writer's packet. Of course I do.

Nick: Seriously?!
Scott: No, no, Nick, this whole call is a lie.
Yeah, I like to play elaborate practical jokes

You know, that thing that no one does.
Couple of hours, I'll be there.
Scott: All right, already regretting it.

You got two people living in your room.
No I don't.

more occupants, more rent.
I want $400 more per month.
Yeah, but we're not living together.
Abby: I'm just crashing here just for a little while.
Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh!
Your commitment issues are not my concern, okay?
You're- bu-bu-bu-bu-bu!
You both live here, you pay more rent,
get over it.
I can't afford another $400 a month.
Abby: Eddie, I just booked a movie part,

Could you at least give us till the end of the week?
You got a week to make the rent
or else one of you has to leave.
Are we living together?
Guess so?

Thanks for the lift.
Mike: Bye. (car accelerates away)
Simon: Did you see when Greg the grip let me play with the crane?
Beth: He didn't let you play with the crane.
He was pretending.
He goes wherever the crane goes.
Wouldn't that be the best?
Beth: Come on.
Let's go in and brush your teeth
before the mall closes,
or have they already fallen out of your head?
Can we play Texas Hold'em tonight?
What, I didn't take enough of your pennies last time?
Brush your teeth and we'll see.
Yes!

Eddie's office.
Tariq: Abby?
Abby: Tariq!
Where have you been? Kaldrick was looking for you.
(shaky) Is Eddie around?
No, but I can leave a message for him.
Can you ask him to pack up my stuff
and forward it to my parents' place in Montreal?
What? Tariq, what's going on?
(controlling emotions) I can't talk about it.
Abby: Okay, um, did something happen to your family?
(emotional) Yeah, something happened to my family.
Just tell Eddie for me, okay?
Abby: Of course.
Are you moving back for good?
Tariq: I don't know.
When is enough enough, Abby?
Abby: Tariq, what happened?
(struggling) I gotta go.
Abby: Tariq- (Tariq hangs up)
(sobs)
(door opens)
Abby!
So, how did it go?
Great! The teacher said I was astonishing, so...
That's great. Um, I just finished up,
so do you mind if I get paid now?
Eddie: Oh, yeah, of course, of course.
Abby: Awesome.
Eddie: Let's see here...
Fifty bucks. There you go.
Fifty? You said twenty-five an hour.
Yeah, that's what we pay Rosa,
But she, uh, does everything in two hours, so...
I worked for six hours, so that's a hundred and fifty.
Eddie: A hundred and fifty dollars? What, are you nuts?
I'm not gonna pay you three times as much
for working three times as slow! Come on!
Eddie, you lied to me!
Look, Abby, I am in a fantastic mood.
People don't always get what they want.
It's fifty bucks.
You can take it or leave it.

What? You're a mess.
I know I am.
I'm tired of it.
So is that your proposal?
Got a ring?
How 'bout a champagne cork?
You're all I have here.
That's not true.
Fine, don't marry me.
Take it one step at a time:
be my girlfriend.
Why do you wanna be with me?
Why wouldn't I?
You're beautiful, you're smart,
you're independent.
You have a great ass. (chuckles)
(snorts) oh, that's hot.
Shut up, okay?
We're good together and you know it.

Hello?
Scott: Yeah, hey, Nick, it's Scott. How's it going?
Nick: It's uh...
Look, it doesn't matter. Here's the thing:
we've been talkin' about it
and we're gonna hire both of you.
You... Wait, I'm sorry, both of us?
What is- what is- but what is the "both of us"?
Scott: You and Sabrina.
We just loved that back and forth chemistry you have;
the way she just totally tore you apart.
That was hilarious, man. Very, very funny.
- So, you- Scott: - Okay, so we start at 9:30 tomorrow.
We can work out the details then, okay?
Uh, yes, thank you!
Scott: Great! And Nick...
I fought for you; Paul did not want you.
So don't let me down.

But you don't have to clean rooms anymore.
Just take it back.
