Nice digs.
We have an interview. Henry Martin, Jane Van Veen.
For the manager position. Welcome.
Mr. Doran likes to approve every tenant himself.
Obviously, whatever you guys said won him over.
She's how we get Henry.
What happened to the previous manager?
Why would anybody ever want to leave this?
I'm Louise.
I think you met my husband Brian.
Kind of nerdy cute.
Hey, honey, come meet my new assistant.
Brian, this is Alexis.
Can you believe it?
She lives right across the street, actually.
Washer number three is leaking.
Anything else I should know?
Well, there's a thief in the building.
I'll keep an eye out.
I like your necklace.
It's not right what you do.
What I do is fulfill needs.
Oh!
Oh, my God. Aah!
You signed a binding contract.
Now it's time to settle up.
Aah!
(Patsy cline's "you belong to me" playing)
Wait. I-I don't understand.
Barlow used to live here, now he doesn't.
It's not that complicated.
No, I mean, why didn't he tell me he was moving out?
Well, you've been here, like, a week.
Why would he tell you anything?
Because I'm the new manager. I'm supposed to get told.
And besides, people don't just up and move like that.
I mean, there's paperwork to fill out, I-I-I think.
Mr. Doran took care of the paperwork.
He and Barlow, they got close
after the guy's wife took her high dive off bellevue.
This right here, this is just a...
it's a favor for him, all right?
Sure. Great.
Where's all this being shipped?
Vegas.
Help me, uh, count the boxes.
Sure.
What'd you get?
Uh, 23.
Me, too.
I got a lot of work to do on this place.
Gotta resurface the floors, redo the kitchen...
Install new fixtures,
and we should really look at some of those sconces as w...
yeah.
Now?
Sconces.
All right. I'll be down in a minute.
The, uh, party planner and her entourage
have arrived.
It's gonna be quite the soiree tonight at the Dorans.
I'm looking forward to it.
Hmm.
Oh, sorry, Tony. You weren't invited?
Oh, no, actually, I, uh, I got a prior engagement.
Oh. Yeah.
Right. Yeah.
Of course.
All right. Take it easy.
Aah! Aah!
Hey.
Tony, Barlow's apartment,
there are birds in the walls.
Uh, it's an old building.
Probably lots of things in the walls.
They flew right out of the wall
and broke through a window upstairs.
We gotta call an exterminator. This is serious.
Yeah, yeah, look, look, I got one elevator down,
and it's making my life miserable.
I need it fixed today.
Yeah, yeah, it's the one that almost ate that lady.
Yeah, that one. All right.
I sent Louise flowers from all of us, by the way.
Of course you did.
This is the exterminator we use.
You're the resident manager, you call.
Thanks, Tony. I'll take care of it.
You know, Tony, uh, by the way,
I didn't take the job from you, okay?
Mr. Doran hired us.
Oh, I know that, Jane.
Thanks.
Oh, Nona, hey.
What's up?
You mentioned that there's a thief in the building.
I... well, it looks like I'm the latest victim.
Oh, no.
Yeah, uh, my... my grandmother's necklace.
It's irreplaceable.
I'll keep an eye out.
Thanks.
Hey, Jane.
Don't mess with the birds.
They're part of the Drake.
Hey. Just talked to the doctor a...
here. What are you doing? Let me help.
All right. Let me help.
I'm not an invalid, Brian.
No, but you're still on the mend.
Mending is really boring.
You gotta stop complaining.
You know, the doctor thinks
that you only have to be here a few more nights.
What?
That is not a long time
for a girl that got crushed by an elevator.
And...
Honestly, babe, uh, a collapsed lung
and a concussion are really serious.
So are some of the bills we have.
I can't get out there and land a job
until I get out of here.
You still have that one gig.
Actually, they said they weren't gonna hire me again.
That's ridiculous, Lou.
You were in an accident.
Oh, they know. They sent those.
Look, they're vindictive fashionistas
who were inconvenienced.
Yeah, it sucks.
Actually, will you get the nurse?
My Vicodin's wearing off.
Yeah, sure.
I'm back.
Alexis, thank God.
Oh, thank you.
Now this is how you save a life.
How are you?
Uh, I'm fine.
Is that stuff from our apartment?
Almost forgot.
Here you go. Here's your key.
I'm late.
I know. I'm sorry.
Whoa.
Wow. You look stunning.
Hey, thanks for getting the wine.
Of course, of course.
So you wouldn't believe this guy in the wine shop.
He was trying to push an $800 bottle of wine on me.
Have you ever heard of Chateau Monique? No.
Yeah, well, he couldn't believe I hadn't heard of it either.
But you'll be happy to know,
I held firm on a bottle of Merlot for 20 bucks.
That's what the Dorans use in their salad dressing.
I'm gonna hop in the shower.
I'm funny.
How was your day?
What, you didn't get my text?
The one about you being attacked by birds?
That wasn't an autocorrect mistake?
No. I got, like, tippi hedren attacked.
They flew right out of the wall
of an apartment upstairs.
It was crazy.
And I still can't figure out where they came from.
Did you provoke 'em?
No, I didn't provoke them.
I know how you are, Jane. Get in the shower.
I love you.
(Indistinct conversations continue)
Mwah.
Jane, Henry, there you are.
