00:35Why is it so dark in here?
00:40Hey.
00:41Well, this is obviously short.
00:43I don't know.
00:44Do you guys pay the electric bill?
00:46Um, I'm sorry, we're choosing not to have electricity.
00:49It's a housing violation.
00:51We don't want to be a part of the problem.
00:53You have to pay it.
00:55There's no law that says you have to blow up mountains in frac.
00:58This is $500 short.
00:59It's the third month in a row, all right?
01:01That's a full month's rent.
01:02I am trying to turn a profit here.
01:04Apparently, I'm your friend.
01:05You haven't even returned my last four Evites.
01:08Well, we don't have electricity, so...
01:11It's not okay.
01:12It's just not okay.
01:13Turn your back.
01:14I've been working with my energy healer, Stephen.

01:35A lot.
01:36There's a lawyer at my gym who really wants this.
01:38Do they not have a shower at your gym?
01:40Okay, I can't do this anymore.
01:42I can't be supporting you girls.
01:43We're done.
01:44We're done.
01:45Pay me what you owe me, or you're out by the end of the month.
01:49You know what I want to know?
01:50Why was this never an issue when we were together?
01:52You keep mouthing off.
01:53You keep mouthing off.
01:54Don't do what you're doing.

09:17Somebody needs to support us. We need a benefactor. What about your parents? No, why don't you sell one of your pieces then?
09:25They're not done yet. Fine
09:27I'm getting muffins. Do you want one?
09:30Usual they have it in a pop-up
09:36Well, I didn't think you'd be here. I'm sorry I'm late. I thought you'd be here. No, I'm not. I thought you'd be here
09:43Oh
10:05Well, I didn't book that job either
10:08What are we gonna do
10:10No, okay, here's just an idea
10:16Why don't you ask your parents for more money I
10:19Told you I've been totally cut off
10:22Are they still your parents?
10:24What kind of question is that?
10:26It's just you're adopted and they have so much money and I know I'm gonna cut you off. I I don't know
10:31I'm sorry. They're also they're petitioning to cut a lot of things. They're trying to cut they're trying to cut public radio
10:36It's okay. Just take it take a few deep breaths
10:40Think I'm just hungry
10:42We haven't eaten today. I forgot the muffins wait
10:47Okay, I have a plan
10:50We're we're on a cleanse right now. We've already begun it. See what I'm saying
10:55Sort of okay. We have not eaten today. This is good
10:59Wait, how does this work? We're cleansing?
11:02We're just our pores are just gonna start letting stuff go when we it sounds very affordable. I have no better ideas
11:08I think we should do this. I'm very willing to try anything you suggest right now because I'm so starving Bob left a juicer
11:14Here, I think it's in the hall closet. Yes, see if it's still there
11:25It's here
11:39Oh, it's heavy
11:55You know, I'm sorry about what I said about your yes
12:00What
12:04Is he stuck seagull
12:08Sleeping
12:34I know
12:39It's okay
12:42The Japanese they call moments like this. No, no, no. All right. Why are you talking about Japanese people?
12:49It's a femorality. Well, and that's a beautiful thing
12:52What femorality sucks?
13:00You see that what there's gold in his mouth
13:06It's like all the stuff on your hands
13:10Why is he covered in gold Olivia, I've always known you're a selfish but I never thought I would hate an animal and kill it
13:16With your own bear golden hands. I loved the cat. You loved the cat. I didn't hate the cat
13:22I wouldn't kill jealous of the pure love that he had for me
13:26Sorry, I don't it
13:29He is seagull and he's right here
13:33He's right here, can I love him?
13:45Could you please call the vet because I think they'll be able to tell us what to do
14:03You
14:33$150 is absurd for a cremation
14:42This isn't feel right
14:44You're just socialized to feel like this when I was in India
14:49This is how they honor the dead
14:52You free human souls on a funeral pyre
14:56And if it's good enough people
15:03You
15:33You
16:01I'm gonna get out of the city
16:03This could use a break
16:05you know, I
16:07Can't be here
16:09Not in the apartment
16:15Actually
16:17My dad has a private jet
16:21His company that he's never on and Frank the pilot he loves me
16:29There's a private jet we could use to get away. Yeah

19:08I just want you to know you're doing a really good job
19:11and I don't know if anybody's told you that but they should
19:15because I
19:20Just lost someone really
19:22important to me he was one of my best friends and it makes me realize how precious everything is and
19:28And
19:32Do I seem weird right now
19:35in conclusion
19:37Well, I wanted I wanted you to know that I think the world wants you to be happy and if you're not feeling happy
19:44just hold your heart and feel that you love yourself and
19:51Yeah, that's all I wanted to say thank you

21:21Feeling really sad about Siegel
21:24Uh-huh. I can't believe he was alive yesterday. Olivia
21:29Just feeling my feelings. I know but you cried like the entire flight. That's a six-hour flight. That was six hours
21:35Can we focus right now and just figure out how to get to Kimberly's isn't she picking us up?

28:38and in the past it doesn't
28:39Really exist anymore and we stand on its own solid ground like a shore waiting to be washed back into the ocean
28:46The truth of everything is ephemerality
28:51And sand is great
28:54It sounds great
28:59Her work used to be about black holes, it's nice to see that you're lightening up a bit. Would anyone like more kale?
29:06When did they plan this vacation? I don't know Nicole. I know your mom really needed to get away
29:11She was having another one of her
29:13Episodes lake is like an ashram for her. Well, I'm very aware that the lake is super relaxing. Did you talk to them recently?

29:57Experience I've ever had professionally, you know, just fostering all of this creativity and all of this is just so
30:05satisfying. Oh

30:23So
30:24Miss Olivia, what have you been doing with yourself all this time?
30:29Well, um, I've been auditioning some recently you're a performer. What kind I'm an actress

30:49We could just do it another time come on have a little bit of red wine past those tonsils
30:54You'll be singing like Liza Minnelli in a minute. You want me to sing?
31:06I
31:10Start
31:11Joe and Jane were always together said Joe to Jane
31:17I love summer weather. So let's go to that beautiful
31:25Say you're with me
31:28Anything that Joe would suggest to her Jane would always think it was best for her
31:35So they'd get his Ford and holler all aboard. Gee, I'd like to be
31:42By the sea by the sea by the beautiful sea you and me you and me
31:49Oh, how happy we'll be. I
31:52Love to be beside your side beside the sea beside the seaside
31:58by the beautiful sea
32:02I
32:04Love to be so near you on the snow white sand
32:12Beside the seaside by the beautiful sea
32:24I'm kidding, but well you should I mean you should audition for my show
32:29She is not interested in appealing to the masses. She's like she's an artist
32:35Look at that picture of that adorable little girl. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. Oh my goodness. Is that you Nicole?
32:42Simply adorable isn't this adorable little child?
32:46You'd look like such a sweet little girl. I
32:51Want to go to the bathroom
32:54You
33:03So
33:04Can we have a little heart-to-heart?
33:06Sure
33:08Why are you here?
33:10Are you here because she needs help?
33:13Because her family just doesn't know what to do anymore. I mean honestly, she's just become so eccentric at such a young age
33:23You know, I think she's really unique she's doing something special I wish you could see our apartment it's like a gallery
33:32Well, it's really nice and very reassuring to hear you say that but I
33:38Don't know. I think her family actually didn't invite her to the lake
