♪ ♪

- I worked at random house
for three years.

I started as an assistant
to a marketing vp,

And then i worked my way up
to junior editor.

- Wow.
Impressive.

- At the time, i was one
of the youngest people ever

To make editor.

I was 25.

- I'm 25.

- Don't worry.
You don't look a day over 7.

- [chuckles sarcastically]

And then for the past...

What, 15 years, nothing?

- I quit to raise my child,
caitlin,

Who's now spending
her senior year

In an exchange program
in india.

Look, i know i've been
out of play for a while,

But i am a much smarter,
more capable person today

Than i was 15 years ago.

- Hmm, i'm sure.

- I'm ready to throw myself
back into work 24-7.

I'm ready to pick up
where i left off.

- Well, it has been
quite a long hiatus, liza.

Things have changed.

- Facebook, twitter, iphones.

- Ipads, ebooks, youtube.

- Instagram, snapchat, skype.

- Pinterest.
- Bang with friends.

- Seriously?
You bang with friends?

- It's way better than tinder.

- Alice met a guy on tinder
last week

Who showed her a boob shot

Of a girl his roommate
hooked up with,

And it was her very own boob.

- Shut up.
And she could recognize it?

- Clear as a fingerprint.

- Hello?

Hey.
Sorry.

Look, i'm not expecting
to come back where i left off.

I'll start anywhere.

I'll read.

I'm a terrific reader.

I'll start as an assistant.

- Oh, that would be weird.

I mean, assistants are generally
right out of college.

You're way too o--

- Overqualified.

- No, i think she was gonna
say--

- Orange.

- I'm way too orange?

- Industry term.

Please don't put words
in my mouth, liza.

- Damn.

- They've lived here
for 12 years,

But then dave had left liza
for debbie,

A blackjack dealer he was
shtupping in atlantic city.

The good news is he left liza
the house.

The bad news is, of course,
that he took out four mortgages

That she never knew about
to support his gambling habit.

I've said too much.
You don't need the details.

- I love a flat screen
above a fireplace.

- I don't know.

Sounds like the home of a woman
who lives with her cats

And is gonna die alone.

- Not in this house, she won't.

She can't afford to.

Now, either someone buys
this place by next week,

Or it goes to the bank.

- Can she leave the tv?

- Hi.
Can i get anybody anything?

Coffee? Tea?
Cyanide?

- Mom.

I'm trying to have
a cultural experience.

You can't call me every day.

- Caitlin, i do not call you
every day.

It just seems that way because
of the time difference.

- [chuckles]

- But i want you to know
we're selling the house.

So you may want to come home
from bombay early.

- Mom, it's mumbai,

And you just want me
to come home to help you pack.

- That is not true.
I miss you.

- It's just because you don't
have anything else going on

In your life right now.

- Excuse me?

- You're just feeling hurt
and rejected

Since dad left.

- Well, thanks for putting
that in a nutshell

And stabbing me with it.

- Okay, i think
you're so brilliant,

And you used to have
such a cool job.

You should really go back
to work.

- Well, you're gonna be late
for class.

I'll call you tomorrow.

- Bye, mom.
I love you.

- How is that the older
and more experienced you are

The less you desirable
you become?

- You're talking about
your marriage again?

- No, finding work.

I have gone on
over a dozen interviews,

And these young girls seem
to take a special pleasure

In rubbing my age in my face.

- Oh, you must want
to spank them.

- It's like i woke up one day,

Realized my marriage
was a big lie,

And i'd become ruth van wrinkle.

- Liza, you did the right thing
for the time.

- No, you did the right thing.

You followed
your artistic dreams,

You stuck with
the lesbian thing,

And you moved to brooklyn
before it become hot.

- Excuse me, i moved to brooklyn

Because i couldn't afford
manhattan.

And now thanks to all these
bearded cheese mongers

And chicks that look like
macaulay culkin,

I can't afford brooklyn.

- Jeez, how did i miss
the memo on brooklyn?

And by the way, when did bombay
become mumbai?

You know you can't call it
bombay anymore?

- Well, who wants the word
"bomb"

In the name of their city
anyway?

You know what, i got to pee.

Order, like, six more of these,

And then we'll go dancing,

And we'll split that hit
of ecstasy i've been saving

Since 1998.

Excuse me.

- Excuse me.
Sir.

Mr. Bartender.
Hello.

Hello!

Really?
Hello?

- Oh.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, hey, hey.
You don't wave a shoe.

Never wave a shoe.

In thailand, that's considered
a capital offense.

- And you've been to thailand?

- No, but i have been
to myanmar.

- Which used to be burma.
- Back in the day.

- I knew that.

- What are you having here?

- Uh, skinny margarita.

Six of 'em.

- Really?
Tyler, two shots of bourbon.

Trust me.

Um, i'm josh.

- I'm liza.

So are these for real,

Or can you scrub 'em off
whenever you want to?

- Scrub them off.

Why would i--why would i want
to scrub these off?

- My bad.

You'll definitely want to take
that skull

With the rose between its teeth
to your grave.

- I--it's what i do.
I'm a tattoo artist.

- I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean
to insult your work.

Do you have your own parlor?

- Parlor?
[laughs]

You're not really from
around here, are you?

- Just over the bridge.

- Yeah.
I figured.

I have my own studio.

It's more of like a lounge,
really.

Body art's this really
personal experience.

It's important that everybody
feels comfortable.

So here's to being comfortable.

- You must get a lot
of crazy requests.

- Oh, you have no idea.

Last week i tattooed the insides
of lena dunham's ass cheeks.

- What? Why?

- Said she wanted to keep
something private.

- Who's lena dunham?

- That's funny.

So what about you?
Hmm?

What do you do?

- Um, i'm actually--
i'm actually looking for work

Right now,
in publishing.

- Okay, and how's that going?

- It could be better.

I took a bit of a sabbatical.

- Nice.
Doing what?

- I...

Um, worked on a novel.

And, um...

And i did some volunteer work
in india.

- That's amazing.
- I know, yeah.

I call it my "eat, pray,
endure chronic diarrhea" period.

- [laughs]

I'm gonna steal your cell phone
for a second.

- Wait a minute.
Why?

- Just relax, scaredy-cat.

- What are you doing?

- I'm taking a picture
of my junk.

No.

I'm adding myself
to your calendar right here,

Next thursday.

- Are you asking me on a date?

- Is that a yes?

- I don't know.
Let me see that junk shot first.

Oh, my god.

I totally thought
that was gonna sound flirty,

But it came out creepy.

- It came out really sexy
if you ask me.

- Please give me my phone.

You are way too young
for me.

- Whoa, whoa.
I'm 26, dude.

I mean, we got to be
the same age, give or take.

- My phone.

- Hey.

- Hey, this is my girlfriend,
maggie.

My friend who is a girl,
named maggie.

And we need to get going.
Yes.

- Okay.

- It was very nice to meet you.

- Yeah.
- Dude.

- [laughs]

- Oh, my god.

- Wait, what are you doing?
He was hot.

- I know,
and i think he raped my phone.

- What?
Get back in there.

- Oh, no, no, no.
He thought i was in my 20s.

- What?
- Yes.

What do they put in the drinks
in that place,

And how do we get it into
the water supply?

- You know,
actually that's not

A totally ludicrous
assumption.

- We were discussing his junk,

Which i believe means "penis,"
by the way.

- Uh-huh.

You know, come over.
I want to show you something.

- I've seen your weird nipple.

- No, not that.

[sighs]

Look at yourself.

You've got a great figure,

Great hair,

Great legs.

I mean, that's what people see
when they look at you.

They don't see a number.

- The bar was dark,
and the guy was drunk.

- Liza, you've always
looked good for your age.

I mean, you were getting carded
until you were 30.

- I know, and my husband still
leaves me for a younger woman.

How's that for irony?

- Would you stop feeling sorry
for yourself

And listen to me?

What, no one wants to hire
a 40-year-old has-been?

Tell 'em you're 26.

- Are you insane?
Nobody's gonna believe that.

- People believe
what you tell them.

They believe
the real housewives are real.

They think that coconut water
is gonna shrink their ass.

They'll believe you're 26.

- I'm gonna need
some highlights.

- Oh, girl, we're going
way bigger than that.

With natural elasticity

And she just wants

Of a really great
marketing hook?

Poaching a world-class writer

- What?
What about thad?

- I just don't like the way

- What are you talking about?

- A little subservient?

You can't let men get away

- Amazon is promising us
the home page for three days.

We're also providing free
interactive study guides

To every high school.

- Well, love the art,

But we're going to need
a better hook

If you want us to market these.

What if we got a world-class

To write the intros
to the austen books?
