♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
[kisses smacking]
[rhythmic banging]
Oh, my God. Oh!
Call me the birthday girl.
Oh, my God.
You’re such a good birthday girl.
Yeah, fuck.
Keep doing that. Oh, my God. Oh!
Fuck!
Oh, my God, you’re fucking me so hard, I’m like, shaking, baby.
Oh, my God.
Fuck! [moaning] Wait, wait, wait, stop, stop, stop.
Maia, that’s… that’s not me.
What?
That’s not me.
[building rattling]
That’s an earthquake.
I think it’s just a little one, baby.
Uh…
[Maia moaning]
[phone]
[chiming] Earthquake.
[Maia] Fuck.
Uh, shake alert.
Yeah, shake alert.
No, it’s my seismology app.
Baby, can you just choke me, like, really quick?
Maia, Maia. Listen.
I’m about to cum. What?
[app voice] Shaking expected.
[rattling stopping]
Okay, it stopped. Right?
Yeah.
[softly] Okay. Okay.
[Maia moaning]
[moaning intensifies]
[loud boom, rattling] Oh, my God. Fuck!
Baby, this… This is the big one.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, baby, if we’re…
If we’re gonna die, I just want to cum.
[Dylan] Oh, fuck.
[Maia] Oh, my God!
[Dylan] [exclaiming] Fuck!
Oh, my God! [moaning loudly] You know, when she says that in front of the whole room, it’s just humiliating to me.
[Maia] Yeah.
You know, I’m supposed to be in charge, it’s…
Next time she does that, you need to put her in her place.
Like, I’m sorry.
She’s an insecure bitch.
It’s like, shut the fuck up and do not talk to my boyfriend like that.
Well, she’s 12, and her parents are getting a divorce, and she was just mad about the homework I gave her, you know?
Whatever.
We’ve all been through stuff.
Mm.
[urinating] Oh, my God.
I can’t get another UTI.
The doctor said that if I get another, I’m not allowed to Zoom in for meds anymore.
He said that having this many is, like, very troubling.
His attitude’s troubling.
Yeah, it’s like a normal… a normal amount.
It’s totally fine.
[toilet flushing] Oh, my God.
Ugh, wait.
What?
Alyssa just posted the worst photo of me to the work account.
[chuckles]
Aw, you look like a baby.
What?
So, I look older now?
Well, no, no, no, I mean, it… it’s just like, I mean, you know, your… your hair, it’s, uh, it’s totally different and it’s just like a little…
Yeah, but like, look at my face.
Hm?
Like, it’s smaller here.
My eyes are, like, hollow now.
The air in LA is so dry.
I feel like it’s aging me faster.
No. No, no, no, it’s not.
No, look, baby, are you older? Yes.
But you know what?
That’s a good thing, because every year, you become more and more yourself.
And you’re skinnier now.
[chuckles softly] Which I know you love.
I just… I cannot believe that that was two years ago, and I’m still an assistant.
Like, I’m basically doing the job of a junior manager.
Yeah, and you’re helping out with all the Grayson stuff.
Yes! He is basically my client.
His Chipotle bowl, that was all you.
I mean, it was me and Courtney together, but I came up with the caption.
Yeah.
And people loved the caption.
[laughing]
I mean, it was so popular that afterwards, they sold out of corn.
You should just go to Alyssa and ask her for the promotion, and that’s it.
No, I…
I can’t do that.
I need to, like, time it and wait for the right moment.
Shoot! My bookmark fell out, damn it!
[bag zipping] [Maia gasps] Uh, okay.
Um, I gotta go. Happy birthday.
Bye.
[door opens]
[♪ electronic music playing]
Do you mind just waiting right here?
We’re just gonna do, like, one lap.
Thank you.
Hi.
[squeals] Maia!
Happy birthday, baby.
Thank you.
I love the haircut. What the fuck?
Really?
Yeah, I love it.
You don’t feel like it’s too short?
No, I mean, you have the face for that, so what?
Thanks.
Let me know if you need lists for Troy’s party.
Hey!
Seriously, I got you, booboo.
Alright.
Love you, love you. [babbling] Hey.
I have no idea who that guy is.
Literally, I’ve never met him in my life.
[Alani laughing] Ooh, birthday hair!
You like it?
I love it!
Thank you.
Love.
I know, I know, I know.
I remember now, that guy’s actually my accountant.
Charlie, you need an ugly guy doing your taxes.
Wait, did you guys see Tallulah’s Heaven campaign?
Babe, that was…
That was months ago.
Well, why didn’t you guys say anything?
You had her muted. I did not wanna, like, disturb your peace.
Yeah, but she posted it today.
[Charlie] Yeah, I know.
She’s, like, breadcrumbing the posts out like it’s her Midwestern wedding photos.
And I think she only got, like, 10k a post.
She got paid 10k a post?
Yeah, like nothing.
So, ignore it.
Honestly, the whole Heaven project is, like, washed anyway at this point.
Maia, have you, like, spoken to her lately, or…
I mean, like every three months she’ll send me these long-ass voice memos.
God, voice memos are so narcissistic.
It’s like, bitch, you’re doing a podcast.
I know, and did I tell you she still owes me $1,200?
Oh, love that.
And she didn’t even wish me a happy birthday.
It’s 8 a.m.
Well, it’s 11:00 in New York. She should be up.
Honestly, just ’cause you’re friends with someone at 22, does not mean you have to be friends with them for the rest of your life.
You don’t see me hanging out with Avicii anymore, do you?
Yeah, Charlie, he died.
I’m just saying, like, just, like, cut the negative energy out.
You’ll feel better…
I know that dog. BRB.
Hi! How are you, sweetheart?
He doesn’t get it ’cause he doesn’t know her. Like…
Don’t stress. Yes.
No, but 27 is the start of your Saturn return.
I know, it’s supposed to be hell.
Yeah, so everything that feels bad right now is… is actually good.
Like my dad, he won his first Oscar at 28, but when he was 27, he was, like, making that movie, and he was like, “This is really hard.”
Yeah.
Come on.
You should block her.
Charlie.
Charlie, no… Block?
Charlie, why would you even say that?
I mean, I’ll just mute again.
No, no, you can’t keep dipping in and out.
It’s not fair to you.
No, no, no, no, no.
Maia, a block invites, like, negative karma.
Like so mu…
Like badass karma.
Block! Block! Block!
Block! Block! Block!
No, no, no, no, no. This is negative. Charlie!
Block! Block! Block! Block!
Fuck it, I don’t care. I’m doing it.
[Charlie] Oh, my God!
Are you doing it?
I did it.
Yes! Whoo!
Ah! Wait, honestly…
What a ride.
…I kind of feel amazing.
Fuck Tallulah.
Fuck Tallulah.
I’ve been saying!
Fuck Tallulah.
That’s a strong way to go.
Yes!
No, fuck her.
I… I’m not gonna sit around and just do nothing while she reaps the benefits of my hard work.
Like, I made her successful, I can do it for other bitches.
[Charlie] Period.
[Alani] Yes.
Do you know what I’m gonna do today?
[Alani] What?
I’m gonna ask Alyssa for my promotion.
Nice, do it.
Yes! Okay, because you’re proud of what you’ve done for Tallulah.
I mean, to spite her, but yes.
It’s spite, it’s more spite energy, but yes.
Okay. I love you guys so much.
Can we be positive?
[Charlie] Love you.
You guys are literally my family.
[Alani] Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, bitch.
I love you guys!
[Charlie] Ooh!
Look at that ass.
[Alani] Yeah.
I needed this so bad.
[Charlie] Oh, my gosh, hey!
Don’t be scared of Alyssa.
Okay.
Remember, she’s intimidated by how short you are.
[Alani] Stay positive.
Love you, bitch.
[Alani] I love you.
Love you guys.
[♪ Rock music playing]
[Courtney] Maia!
They’re basically impossible to get on the phone until after Halloween.
Hey!
Good luck, Queen.
You have nothing to worry about, okay?
Oh, I am not worried.
Oh, good. Hey.
Don’t worry.
I am not.
Okay. And remember, she wants us to succeed, okay?
Okay, thanks.
I’ll put some Sprites on ice for us.
Okay, sounds good.
Sprite Zero.
Okay, I’m doing it.
Okay, bye.
You got it, girl.
[sighs]
[knocking]
[Alyssa Barzak] Come in.
Hi. Oh, I’m sorry.
I… I can come back later, if you want.
No, come in.
Okay.
Get in here.
[chuckles] Maia.
Yeah?
It’s your birthday!
Yeah.
Happy birthday!
Thank you.
[sighs] How old are you?
Tell me.
I am 27.
27, oof.
[sucking teeth] That’s tough.
Really?
Yeah. Better than 28, though.
28 through 33 is like, kill me.
And then 34. [chuckles] We hope that’s good.
Mm, mmmm.
[Maia] Oh, okay.
Do you have fun plans tonight?
Um, I’m just keeping it lowkey tonight, but tomorrow I have dinner with my friends in Beverly Hills.
Wanted something a little Republican.
[both chuckle]
Well, they… they do the best martinis.
Yeah, totally.
Mm.
Um, so I was actually hoping to talk to you…
[Alyssa coughing] …about the title change that we discussed.
Mm.
Um, I feel like we’re all so happy with Grayson’s Chipotle bowl.
You know.
Ow!
They sold out of corn.
It was a big hit.
And I think that I’m more than ready…
Stop saying “think.”
Stop it.
Okay. [chuckles] Say “I am.”
I am.
[singsong] ♪ I am ♪
I am more than ready for the junior manager track.
[sighs] Promotions.
Ugh, they’re so tough.
Yeah.
It’s, like, so tricky.
I… I mean, we’re a scrappy little startup, Mai, and I… I can’t afford a single misstep.
Yeah.
[Alyssa] Right? As a woman trying to do differently, there’s a target on my back.
[Maia] Totally.
And I want to be by your side.
Or even behind you.
To block the target.
Yeah. I mean, you have to have experience as a manager to be a manager.
Yeah.
[Alyssa] Right? And it’s… it’s such a big deal to take someone’s future into your own hands.
And you’ve never done that before.
So, I… hm.
Um… well, actually, I have had a client in the past, formerly.
Um, do you know Tallulah Stiel?
She’s like a New York “it” girl.
She’s very big on TikTok.
Tallulah Stiel. Tallulah Stiel!
Yeah.
She rode the subway in a bikini during COVID?
Yes!
I filmed that. I filmed that.
[Alyssa gasps] It… Yeah, it… That was so fun, that one.
Yeah, that was like, her first big video, um…
Sneaky little girl!
Yeah. Yeah.
We worked together a bunch right after we graduated.
And…
Do you mind grabbing my phone?
Yes. Yeah.
It’s just in my back pocket.
Gotta watch those nails.
[Alyssa groaning]
There you go. Okay, just turn it.
Oh. Thank you.
[whispering] Okay, there you go.
[Alyssa sucking teeth]
[Alyssa clearing throat]
Tallulah Stiel.
[Maia] Yeah.
Wow!
Maia, girl!
Your friend has a Heaven campaign?
Yeah, it’s so good, right?
[gasps] She’s the best.
Like, we’re so close.
We’re like best friends.
[Alyssa] How come she doesn’t follow you?
Um…
[phone buzzing] Uh, that’s so weird.
I…
Oh, you know what? I should… I should take this.
[buzzing continues] So sorry.
But we’ll keep talking.
Okay.
I’m gonna come back.
Yeah.
To talk about it.
You’d better. Keep trying.
Okay. I will.
Okay?
[car horns honking]
[♪ Melancholy music playing]
[brakes squeaking]
[sighs]
[keys dropping]
[keys dropping] God! Fuck.
Dylan, you will not believe the fucking day that I just had.
It was a full…
What is…
Um, I tried to text you, but she took my phone, so I couldn’t…
[screaming]
Oh, my God!
Surprise, you little bitch!
Happy birthday!
Tallulah!
I know, I’m here!
I cannot believe that you are here in my house in LA.
[gasps] Your hair!
[gasps] It’s so short.
I love it.
Thanks.
Let me smell you.
Oh, no.
[sniffing] Oh, my God!
Oh, you smell the same.
[chuckles] Oh, yes.
Well, maybe don’t…
It’s… I’m sweaty.
It’s my favorite stink.
Maia’s stink!
Yeah, it’s the best stink.
[Tallulah laughing] Hey, uh, I-I’m gonna let you guys get caught up and stuff.
Oh. You can just…
But I’m here if you need me.
[Tallulah] Okay!
Love you so much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
[Tallulah] Thank you.
He’s cute.
Yeah.
Short, but really cute.
[squealing] Maia!
So basically, I’m, like, leaving the airport, and…
Do you have anything stronger than orange wine?
Um…
It’s fine.
‘Kay.
And I’m like, wait, where is my purse?
So, I like… I go to run back onto the plane, and the guy at the gate is, like, legitimately screaming at me.
Like yelling at me, like, insane.
So, I go to push past him and he tackles me to the floor.
Like, I’m literally on the ground in the airport, and I look up, and I realize, it’s Josh.
Josh who?
My high school boyfriend Josh, the one who wrote the song about me.
Okay, right.
[both] Yeah, “Pain in My Heart.”
He, like, works for the airport now, I guess.
Wow.
Yeah.
And he got me my bag back.
Well, thank God.
Why do I feel like I’ve been in this apartment before?
Like, it’s really, like, weirdly kind of familiar.
I mean, this is the place that we were gonna move in to together.
The Los Feliz place.
The two bedroom, $2,400 a month.
[Tallulah gasps] I sent you the thing. Yeah.
Oh, my God, wait, this is the place?!
Yeah, it’s the same place.
Oh, my God, Maia!
And you’re still here?
Mmhmm.
That’s so sweet, Mai.
It’s really cute. It is.
Yeah, I love it.
It’s, like, way smaller than the pictures, but, like, the people that do the listings are such fucking scammers.
I don’t know.
I actually, like, love it here.
I feel like it’s so cozy.
I feel like any bigger would be weird, so…
Yeah.
No, totally.
Okay, Maia?
[shrieks] I almost forgot, I stole these.
Birthday shots. Come here.
Oh, no, no, no. I’m good.
Tallulah. Tallulah.
You’re good. What?
I-I have to be up early tomorrow to celebrate and stuff.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I’m great.
Your birthday is tonight.
We’re going out.
Alani didn’t fly me out here for nothing.
Okay?
Alani flew you out?
Yeah, she said you missed me.
That’s so sweet of her.
Yeah. [chuckles] Um, I’m good.
I’m gonna stay in tonight.
[♪ Dance music playing]
There’s a line.
That’s fine.
[Maia sighs] [Tallulah] What?
Maybe we should go to Bar Seco.
Oh, my God!
I feel like everybody here is, like, 19.
Ugh!
I want to dance.
You said there’s dancing here.
There’s, like, standing with music.
Nobody really dances in LA.
Oh, my God, that’s so lame.
I love dancing.
Stop, Tallulah. [giggles] Tallulah, stop.
I want to dance with you.
The 19yearolds are looking at us.
Yes.
Stop it.
They don’t care. You guys want to dance, right?
No. [laughing] No, they hate us.
They hate us.
God. [chuckles] You remember Mr. Purple?
Yes.
You remember when I got roofied there?
That night was insane.
That was really fun.
They used to roofie people here, but then they fixed it.
[scoffs] Bummer.
I know.
[phone ringing] Oh!
[laughing] Oh, my God.
What?
Shaboozey is Face-Timing me.
He’s obsessed.
Oh, I thought you were dating that bar owner guy.
Oh, Igor?
[coughing] I am.
Yeah, he’s just like… he’s traveling a lot right now, so he’s really busy.
But that’s great for me, because it gives me time to do my own shit, you know?
Like work and stuff. Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, do you like your new manager?
Is it cool being with, like, a big company?
Um…
I don’t know.
[both chuckle] Everyone’s just kinda named Travis.
They do their shit, and I get paid.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Well, it feels like you’re in a really great place, so it’s probably for the best that you didn’t move here.
Yeah. I mean, don’t you think?
Sounds like you’re in a really good spot at Allison 1800.
Alyssa180?
Oh, Alyssa180.
Yeah, Alyssa180.
Stupid.
Yeah, it’s an incredible opportunity, and Alyssa is amazing.
She’s technically my boss, but, like, we’re basically best friends, and we pretty much corun it.
Wow.
Yeah.
Happy for you.
She’s, like, so connected, too.
She’s really connected?
Yeah.
Go drop her name.
Get us in, if she’s so connected.
Mmhmm. I will.
Okay.
[♪ Muffled dance music playing]
[people chattering] Um, hi.
[chuckles] Um, I know you guys are, like, super slammed tonight.
Um, but I work at Alyssa180.
We do a lot of events.
Um, okay, uh, real talk.
I have IBS. [chuckles] So, if my friend and I could just sneak in, use the bathroom really quick, we’ll get out of your hair.
Stand back, she’s super sick.
[crowd murmuring] Oh, no, I’m not sick.
I just have IBS.
Um, a stomach thing.
It’s just digestive.
I’ll… We’ll… I’ll…
We’ll just hang out.
We’ll… I’ll circle back to you.
[Tallulah]
You are literally saving us.
[Maia sighs] Oh, my God, Maia.
This is Jason. He’s the owner.
Oh, hi, it’s nice to meet you.
Yeah, he’s literally a living, breathing angel.
He’s gonna let us put drinks on his tab.
You’re amazing.
And he’s a Gemini…
Oh, yay! A Gemini.
…by the way. Yeah.
Two Geminis.
Can I… Oh, I’m sorry.
Can I smoke? Is that okay?
Yeah, it’s fine.
Oh, amazing. Yay!
[♪ loud dance music playing]
Come on, Maia.
Birthday shot.
What?
Tallulah, I can’t hear you.
Let’s take a shot.
I’m good.
We just had that one at home.
Oh, my God.
You look too good to be so fucking boring.
Okay, we’ll do one.
[snorting]
[♪ Electronic music playing]
[whispering] Oh, fuck.
[tires screeching]
Tallulah.
Yeah.
Forgot the door.
[car horn honking] Oh, my God!
[driver] Fuck you, whores!
Sorry.
Maia.
What? It’s a driving city.
Why would you apologize?
Drivers have the right of way in LA.
Good morning.
[Alani] Hello. Good morning.
[Charlie] Hi.
Hi!
[squealing]
Alani!
[Alani] Oh, my God.
You look so cute.
Wait, shut the fuck up.
You do, are you kidding?
I missed you.
Hi, Charlie. Hey. [chuckles] [chuckles] Hey, how are you?
It’s so nice to meet you.
I’ve heard a lot.
Same.
Sorry that we’re so late.
From many different people.
You’re fine. Did you guys have so much fun last night?
You… You look relaxed and cozy.
Oof, what is that smell?
It’s the salmon from the Courage Bagels that I got everyone.
[Maia sighs] You know, I know you think the New York bagels are better, but actually…
[Maia sighs] …these, uh, beat Tompkins or whatever the fuck y’all are eating. [chuckles] I don’t eat bagels.
Oh, shit!
Um, I would have gotten you something else.
But no, Maia loves them, so yeah, we’re…
[Tallulah] She’s…
She… She loves them, right, Mai?
Yeah, I’m just kind of hungover today…
Yeah, she… and, like, super bloated.
Super bloated.
So, you’re not gonna eat the bagels?
Not… I mean, not right now.
Okay. [sighs] Okay, Tal, I love this bag.
Thank you.
It’s so cute.
Balenciaga.
I need to break out my mom’s old one.
Oh. [chuckles] Sorry.
I left it in the Palisades house.
[Charlie] Oh, babe, I’m so sorry.
Shit.
Sorry, Alani.
I love you.
I love you. So, you guys went out last night?
Yeah.
[Charlie chuckles] I just thought today was the big celebration.
Wow. [chuckles] Everyone’s so strict here.
[chuckles] [Tallulah] Whoa! [laughing] Okay, fun birthday plan for today.
[Tallulah and Alani] Yes.
Um, we’ll do, like, Erewhon, Aralda, then like, nails, face masks before dinner.
Wait, hold on. Oh, my God.
How did your big meeting with Alyssa go?
Um, it was great. Yeah.
Okay!
[Maia] I mean, there’s, like, there’s budget stuff, but basically, she said, like, Alyssa180 doesn’t run without me.
Wait, Maia, that is a big deal.
[Charlie] She said that? Oh, my God!
Yeah.
[Charlie] Bitch.
We can’t just go to a grocery store now.
That’s, like, that’s huge.
But Erewhon’s not really like a grocery store.
Maia!
It’s like… it’s an experience.
But, yeah.
No, we need to celebrate.
Let’s go to the beach.
[Maia] No, that’s a lot.
[Charlie] No, you…
That’s a lot.
It’s LA, let’s… let’s go.
No, babe, you don’t understand anything.
[Maia] Yeah.
We have to leave at like 8 a.m.
to get there, it’s like not…
[Maia] Yeah, it’s like an hour.
Mai, it’s your birthday.
Let’s go.
Well, you don’t have a suit.
So, shoot.
Wait, what? No. Hold up.
Can I borrow one?
I have so many that you could borrow. What?
That’s not an issue at all.
Okay, so let’s borrow a bathing suit, and we could go to the beach.
[Alani and Tallulah chattering]
[whispering] I’m so fucking pissed right now.
[Charlie] What the fuck is going on with her?
I mean, first of all, she was insane about the bagels.
So crazy.
Second of all, it’s like, what is this shit?
I don’t know.
It’s like a 40fucking500 fucking dollar bag.
It’s like… And sunglasses.
Like, she owes you money, if I remember correctly, $1,200.
You do.
Hasn’t mentioned it once.
Of course.
Well, did you ask her?
No, obviously, I haven’t.
You should bring it up now in front of everyone.
Guys, it’s so cute to see you guys having fun again.
Alani, we’re not having fun.
[Charlie] We’re not having…
This is a bad experience so far.
Okay, I know you’re trying to be, like, peacemaker, and it’s sweet, but, like, I’m fucking pissed at her.
She’s one of your karmic ties.
Like, do you realize that?
It’s like my facialist was telling me that, like, my mom in my past life was my daughter.
So, our wombs are, like, locked in this forever cycle, and we always find each other.
Even if we’re mad, we find each other.
[Tallulah sighs] I mean… I mean, come on.
Fuck, it’s fabulous. [sighs] Okay, it’s fine. Um…
[Maia sighs] So, what time is dinner?
Um, it’s at 7:00 for four people.
Okay.
Well, now it’s five people, and maybe we change it to 8 p.m., in case we get stuck in traffic?
[chuckles]
Is that a… Is that a big deal?
Yeah. No. It’s fine.
Fine.
I’ll change it. I’ll change it.
No, we don’t… If…
If that’s a problem, we don’t have to change it.
No, oh, my God, it’s so easy.
Obviously, I’ll change it.
I can make a call.
No, I’ll change it.
[Tallulah] Okay.
[Alani] Thank you.
Oh, shoot. Oh, my God.
[Tallulah] What?
Alyssa just texted me.
What did she say?
Um, just like a work emergency.
Not like a bad emergency.
Like a good emergency.
And she knows I can handle it.
So, um, I’m gonna deal with this.
You guys have fun.
I guess that’s part of getting a promotion, Mai.
Guys.
Yup.
Promotion!
Okay.
I’m proud of you.
[Alani] Love you.
[smacking] Alright, bye.
Okay, see you at dinner.
[Alani] Love you guys.
What, are you leaving, too?
I can’t sit in traffic for two hours.
Have fun being tourists.
Oh, my God.
[Alani] We will.
Does no one wanna have fun?

We’re gonna have fun. We’re gonna have fun.

Hi, we have a reservation under Maia Simsbury.
Oh, you’re here for the birthday party?
Yes. Um, I’m Maia.
[Dylan chuckles softly] Great. You can follow me.
Um, where are we going?
To the birthday party.
Okay.
[Maia] She makes me feel insane.
[Dylan] Yeah.
She just sucks up all the oxygen in the room and makes everything about her.
Yeah.
Like, she fully hijacked my day.
Uh, yeah, I know.
And baby, it’s…
It’s because she’s insecure.
Really?
Yes.
You think so?
Yeah, 100%.
I mean, you… you have a quiet confidence.
You know, you don’t have to go and… and tell people about the moves you’re gonna make, ’cause you just make ’em.
You fly under the radar.
Do I?
Yeah, you do.
You 100% do. And you know what?
On top of that, I can tell you that you, you don’t have to post about it because you just are it. And to top it all off, you do have a pretty good boyfriend.
I have an amazing boyfriend.
Amazing boyfriend?
Yeah.
Okay.
With a perfect dick.
I like that.
Oh, um, I… I think our table’s actually at the dining room.
Um, I’m Maia.
You mentioned that.
[knocking]
[door opens]
[people cheering]
[Tallulah squealing]
[Charlie and Alani] Surprise!
Oh, my God!
Follow me in here.
[Charlie] You look like a whore!
I’m obsessed, look at you!
Oh, my God! Maia!
Wait, what is going on?
How do we have a suite?
Tallulah! She had a vision.
No, she literally hooked it the fuck up.
I’m obsessed with her.
[Tallulah] Stop.
[Charlie] Maia, she’s you when you were addicted to poppers.
Wait! Maia, come look.
Maia. [squealing] Oh, my God.
[Tallulah] Look at the room!
Yeah. Wow.
Here.
Um, wait.
Guys, what about dinner?
Are we gonna still make dinner?
Ew, no, no, no, no.
The food here fucking sucks.
This is better.
This is so much better.
Wait. You guys!
Look who I invited.
[Charlie] You’re gonna hate this.
It’s your boss.
[Tallulah squeals] Why are Courtney and Alyssa here?
Because you said Alyssa was, like, your best friend.
I listen to you.
[chuckles] [Charlie] Okay, wait, wait!
[Maia] Oh, my God!

Now, Tallulah had to lie and say that it was her birthday ’cause she’s the famous one.
We just have to do, like, one grid carousel saying “Happy birthday, Tallulah,” and then…
Like, really fast. Wait, let’s make a wish together.
Ready?
No, I’m good.
You can wish, since it’s your birthday.
[Tallulah] Maia!
Classic drama.
Maia!
Oh.
Um, I think I should maybe go.
No, my love. No, no, no, no.
No. Do not go there.
No?
You’re good here. You’re good here.
Maia?
[knocking]
[Maia]
Do not come in, I’m shitting.
No, you’re not.
I just wanna be alone for a second.
What is going on with you?
I didn’t get the promotion, okay?
Why would you lie to me, then?
You told me that you got the promotion.
[water running]
You’ve been being a bitch to me, like, the whole weekend.
[laughing] Oh, really?
Yeah, you’ve been being a fucking bitch, really.
I flew in for your birthday, and I land…
Oh, my God.
…and I see you blocked me?
Tallulah.
That is so weird.
You basically flew here and you threw yourself a party, so…
No, I…
Yes!
I literally got this room for you.
I don’t want it, okay?
It’s like, you’ve been here for two seconds and everything is just so easy for you.
It’s like, oh, my God, you breathe.
Wow, we have a suite.
Oh, all we have to do is just post about Tallulah and pretend it’s her fucking birthday.
Oh, my God.
LA is hard for a lot of people.
Like, I’ve been here, it’s really isolating, and it sucks, and you have to drive everywhere.
And, like, having you here reminds me… how you’re doing so good without me, and, like, I’m a fucking flop.
Like, you’re rich and famous and you’re killing it, and I’m an assistant.
You think I’m rich?
[chuckles] Yeah.
I’m broke.
No, you’re not.
I don’t have any money.
What about the Heaven campaign?
That was a year ago.
Okay, well, isn’t, like, Igor rich?
Yeah, he is. But he dumped me.
Really?
Yeah.
After I caught him sending DMs to girls asking for titty pictures.
Ew! Are you serious?
So gross.
Yeah.
I’m sorry. Google “boobs.”
Google fucking “boobs.” That is exactly what I said.
That’s… Oh, my God.
So, then I posted pictures of him peeing sitting down on Reddit, which is funny.
[chuckles] Yeah.
And when I went back home, he literally kicked me out.
[scoffs] That is crazy.
Now, I’m, like, living out of my bag, basically.
It’s a really good bag.
Thanks.
I really miss you, Mai.
I do, and it’s been really hard for me since you left.
Okay, well, I tried to get you to move here, so…
Well, what if I just, like, stayed here and I didn’t go back, and we finally did our plan?
[laughing] What do you mean?
Like, what if I just don’t go back to New York and I stay here, and you finally manage me?
Would you really want that?
[mocking] “You would want that?”
Yeah, obviously.
Yeah?
[mocking] “Yeah.”
Stop doing that!
“Yeah.”
Oh, my God, fine.
I guess if you’re gonna beg me.
I love you.
Oh, my God.
I love you.
Wait, are you excited?
It’s gonna be so fun.
It’s gonna be so much…
Oh, my God.
And I’m sorry, I’m gonna… We’re gonna fucking kill it.
We’re gonna fucking kill it.
[both]
We’re gonna fucking kill it!

Maia! He asked who Maia was, and you were shitting, so I took… I took your place.
Alyssa, she’s my manager now, so if you want me, you have to promote her.
[Charlie] Yes!
Okay.
Alright, we’ll talk Monday.
