04:14Anyway, what are you doing down here?
04:16Oh, I was just picking up some food for Maggie.
04:18Oh, is Maggie your, like, girlfriend?
04:21I don't know.
04:21That's my dog.
04:25I thought you, like, weren't ready for a big commitment like a dog.
04:30When we were living together, I wasn't ready.
04:32Right, right.
04:32After we split, I just realized that I have a lot of love to give.
04:36Plus, you know, after you moved out, I have so much more room in the apartment.
04:39Yeah, yeah.
04:41Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:43So are you still doing, like, investment banking?
04:47Um, no.
04:49Actually, right now, I'm in between employment opportunities.
04:53Oh, oh, okay.
04:54Um, and I've actually been DJing.
05:00What's your, uh, what's your DJ name?

05:14It was great to run into you like this.
05:18It was a pleasure, yeah.
05:19Good luck with, uh, Megan.
05:21Uh, it's, it's Maggie.
05:24Hey, you want to get coffee sometime?
05:26DJ, no fucking thank you.
05:28I can bring Maggie.
05:45Hey, you what?
05:58I just said, hey, dot, dot, dot, and then I was like, okay, he's still typing, like,
06:01it's going to come, the text message is going to come, because it reminds me of, like, the
06:03little dot, dot, dot, like, when someone's still typing, but then four hours passed by.
06:06Four hours, and I was like, what is he possibly doing?
06:08I could be, like, napping in that time, and then it started to get, like, midnight, and
06:10I was like, I have to work tomorrow, I have to go to bed.
06:12So I went to bed, and I was thinking, well, that would be nice, I'll wake up to a text
06:14message from him, and it'll be so nice, and I'll be like, oh my god, sorry, I'll be
06:16like, okay, I totally thought I sent the text that was still typed out in my draft, but
06:20then, like, the dot, dot, dot, like, what if something terrible happened?
06:22What if his dog died?
06:26Sup?
06:28Wanna hang out on Friday?
06:30No, that's thirsty.

08:40Oh, God!
08:41This is it!
08:44Oh girl, nailed it.
08:46Stand clear of the closing doors, please.
08:57The next stop is Graham Avenue.
09:07Oh my god, it's Saturday.
09:28No, no, no. I need a raise.
09:34Hello. Do you have like two minutes? I just want to talk about...
09:38I'm going to stop you right there. I'm not your supervisor.
09:40I'd love to, but I'm not your supervisor.
09:43I'm not the person to talk to about this.
09:45Totally love to. Not your boss. All the best.
09:48I'm not your supervisor.
09:49No.
09:49Not me.
09:50No. Not your manager.
09:52Girl, no.
09:52Not me.
09:53Yeah, sure. Does 1-30 work?
09:55Yeah, okay. Wait, what?
09:58Why I deserve this promotion, where do I start?
10:02I've been here seven years, even though now that I think about it, only three of those were paid.
10:07I spearheaded Project Lamp Ray.
10:09I instituted Bring Your Puppy to Work Fridays, and made it profitable somehow.
10:13I love my job. I love this company.
10:16Put in a Beyoncé gift for good measure, and send.
10:23Okay, girl, you got this. You're running that meeting. Show them the goods, numbers, facts, promotion stuff.
10:29Women are in only 5% of executive positions in the media. Woof.
10:33It's been a long time. They owe you this.
10:36We're taught as little girls that it's rude to talk about money.
10:39And you're just like this eagle of awesomeness, looking to land on a mountain of success.
10:46Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Girl, it's you.
10:48I am a girl boss.
10:50A girl!
10:54Millennials.
10:57Numbers.
10:58You.
10:59You.
11:02Money stacks.
11:04Waves of information.
11:08Momentum.
11:09Trust.
11:11Power.
11:15Women.
11:19I'm sorry, what is this about?
11:21Um, this is the presentation about why I deserve a promotion.
11:25Oh.
11:26So did I need to do this.
11:27You can have the promotion.
11:28Yeah.
11:28Yeah, I mean, this is great, and we might use it, but next time you could have just asked.
11:33Did you see the tiger?
11:36You.
11:39Hi, Rumi.
11:41Hi.
11:42Um, I know we've been talking about this, and we don't do it, but now it's done.
11:47It's laminated.
11:48I love it.
11:55So like I said, it's $2,500 a month and utilities are not included.
12:00Okay.
12:00And this is the whole space?
12:04Yeah.
12:04Can you fit a bed in here?
12:06Yeah.
12:07I think so.
12:10Oh.
12:11Hello.
12:12Oh my God.
12:13Hi.
12:13How's your new apartment?
12:15It's great.
12:17Yeah, it's bright, and I have so many closets.
12:20Are you naked?
12:21Oh my God.
12:22You're naked.
12:32You will not believe the day ahead.
12:37My boss was like, every Wednesday, I ask you to file this report.
12:47I am such a fucking grown up.
12:54Hi.
12:55Oh my God.
12:55It's so good to see you.
12:57It's been so long.
12:58How are you?
12:58How's work?
12:59Work is good.
13:00Yeah.
13:01Boyfriends.
13:02Um, boyfriend, I have, um, I don't know if I have like a label or anything yet, but like
13:07still kind of seeing your boyfriend or not?
13:10I, I actually have no idea.
13:15I can't really figure out if we're just dating or if this is going somewhere.
13:18So I made a comprehensive list.
13:20One time, he didn't text me back for 35 minutes.
13:25Your problems aren't real.
13:26We don't need labels.
13:27It's not like I walk around and just label everyone I see.
13:30Like barista, post office worker, best friend Katie.
13:33Like my happiness isn't defined by like one person.
13:36You know, it's like a lot of things.
13:37Like pizza, cats and ice cream.
13:38So really it's just like a non-issue.
13:44Yeah, I should talk to him.
13:46How's your chicken?
13:47It's good.
13:48Good.
13:48Good.
13:51You might say, uh, it's the only chicken I'd like to eat for the foreseeable future.
13:59Yeah, I actually got you something.
14:01Oh my god, you got me a gift.
14:02Not a gift.
14:03That is so nice.
14:03I can't believe you got me a toothbrush.
14:06Yeah, it's just a toothbrush.
14:07Oh my god, do you think that I have bad breath?
14:09No.
14:09Because I'm not normally this garlicky.
14:11We just had a lot of Italian food and I would appreciate like a little break about that.
14:14And I don't know what kind of girls you've dated in your past.
14:16That's not related to this either.
14:17But I'm a normal girl with normal person's breath.
14:18And some families have genetic halitosis.
14:20And you need to be-
14:20All right, enough, enough, enough.
14:21Okay.
14:22When you come here, you bring your toothbrush in a little backy.
14:25And I just thought it'd be easier if you had your own toothbrush at my place.
14:31Well, that was very nice.
14:34So your family has genetic halitosis?
14:38Okay, this is crazy.
14:40We like each other.
14:41Yeah.
14:41We've been dating for a while.
14:42Yeah.
14:42We're boyfriend and girlfriend, right?
14:44Yeah.
14:44I don't want to join with this weird, are we, aren't we thing.
14:47And I don't want to freak out every time I write you a text and want to use an emoji.
14:50I like when you send me emojis.
14:51It makes me feel fancy.
14:53Only dating each other?
14:55You're the real MVP.
15:01Oh, excuse me.
15:02Do you have the time?
15:04Yeah.
15:04It's, uh...
15:05Just get the...
15:09Shit!
15:13Are you sure?
15:14I think so.
15:15Did you check the little pockets in your bag?
15:17Yeah.
15:17Did you check the bathroom?
15:18I saw you taking a little selfie in the bathroom.
15:21Yeah, I checked in there.
15:23Did you check your bra?
15:24No.
15:26No, but I found my lipstick.
15:27You little sneak.
15:30You know what?
15:31This is actually really good.
15:33I've been meaning to do, like, a digital detox for a long time.
15:36And it's just going to be, like, a day for me and my thoughts.
15:39But I am going to, like, have some FOMO about it.
15:41So I'm going to need you to check, like, Twitter and Instagram and probably Facebook.
15:44Don't worry about it.
15:46I have a computer.
15:51I bet all my friends are texting me right now and they think I hate them.
15:54I bet you that cute guy from the bar is calling for a date and I'm just there.
15:57I'm just ghosting on him for no reason.
15:58I bet you today the network's going to call and be like, the unreal fortune.
16:01Now I'm going to be poor forever.
16:05Do you need me to call HR?
16:08No.
16:11Oh, my God.
16:12Did you see Annabelle's Instagram today?
16:14Got it right here.
16:15This is so crazy, right?
16:17It's crazy.
16:17Why would she put that up there?
16:19Also on Snapchat, she's like that, too.
16:21You notice?
16:22I'm posting to you guys on Snapchat.
16:23Okay, I have to get out of here.
16:24Yeah.
16:26And...
16:26What's her deal?
16:32No calls or texts?
16:34All day?
16:38Ooh!
16:39Breath control reminder.
16:41Good thing I saw that.
