Transcript excerpt

You can't make this stuff up. We've only been living in New York a week. Depends on where to shop. Oh. Fuck. Get the fuck. Yeah. Fuck you. Get the fuck out of the couch. Literally night one, we had to call a locksmith locksmith to get us out of our apartment, which is when we also discovered the broken window. The fire department came to help a neighbor worse ceiling fell on him. We had glass baked into our lasagna, discovered our smoke detectors were broken, and found multiple roaches dead and alive. New York, get your beeps. Welcome to New York, I guess.
