Showing Up

Hello, Lizzy.

Hi, dad.

My show opens Monday.

That's a week from tomorrow. Put it on your calendar.

Well, I don't think I got an invitation.

Unless it got lost in the junk mail.

So much junk mail coming in all the time.

Have you seen the fake handwriting they have now?

Looks like someone really wrote it by hand.

Dad, this is your invitation.

I haven't had time to send anything out.

Uh, well, we'll all be there.

My guests have come wandering through again.

They'd love to have an outing, I'm sure.

I don't like that they're staying with you again.

They like it here.

It's a good spot for them to stop.

They were just there.

Don't they have anywhere else they can stay?

I enjoy the company.

Feels like they're taking advantage of you.

No. No. No.

I'm gonna stop by this week and make sure

they don't have you tied up in the basement.

Nothing as exciting as that, I assure you.

Though that would possibly be quite enjoyable.

I could do without their dog though,

not a well-trained creature.

Keeps mistaking the corner of my couch for a tree.

Dad, that's gross.

Hey Lizzy. Check it out.

Been hoping to find

a good tire for this tree for ages.

Jo, the water situation is getting worse.

Barely gets lukewarm now.

Just a few minutes of lukewarm and then cold.

That sounds serious.

I'm on it.

Just got to get through this week first.

Shouldn't even be here right now.

I've got so much to do.

I do, too. And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

without hot water.

Lizzy, I told you, you can use my shower.

I want my own water working.

My show's open on Friday.

I'll be free to deal with it after that.

I have a show too, you know. I'm just...

You're not the only one with a deadline.

I know, but I have two shows which is insane.

Hey! Give me a push.

You're hungry?

Well, you have to wait. You're out of food.

I have to work.

I'll go to the store later.

Fine.

Ugh, shut up!

God, Ricky, you're ruining my workday.

This is Todd-a-phonic time.

Happy Monday to you all.

Counting the days until the Quazi show

on the roof of the...

Eric!

Hey!

A whole year of my life.

Let's see it.

I love it.

What did you end up doing with the zipper?

Well, I abandoned the zipper idea

and went with Velcro.

Which, like you said, is not great...

Come here, let me help.

...because it sticks to the yarn.

Yeah, it gets a little messy, but...

Hey, Lizzy, can I get

a little bit of coffee, please?

This isn't a cafeteria.

Okay, but, like...

Could you at least tell me who's on my board?

Hasn't been decided yet.

Look, Randal, he shouldn't be on my board.

We don't see eye-to-eye.

We got, like, different theories

of cultural production.

Or he just doesn't like me. I don't know.

I'm just putting that out there.

Hey, man... Hey.

Big piece on Marlene Heyman.

"...devotional, humble, luminous and strange..."

"She sees glass as a religious vessel

"for personal mastic meditation."

Wow, major real estate.

"The dream like glass would seem like..."

Lizzy.

Uh, let's get the, uh, latest, um,

end-of-year schedule out today.

Mmm.

Oh, these are travel receipts for our guests.

And, um, I gave Tim Hunter cash

so the invoice is in there.

Here you go.

All right.

Lizzy, you ready to fire this week?

Yeah, yeah.

There'll be a few stragglers though, is that okay?

We'll make room. Just bring by what you have.

It's all right. We'll make it work.

Oh, I saw some of Jo's work at her studio yesterday.

Wow, it just gives me such a lift.

Pretty amazing.

She'd be more amazing

if she got my hot water working.

Two weeks now.

Hey, Lizzy, I've gotta get to class.

Bring your stuff by. We'll make it work.

He's on spherical mirrors...

...groovy oil lamps.

Media heat. The heat of the technology.

The human shadows.

This mess of images.

So, what does it all do?

It blows our minds.

Does somebody wanna go on the inside?

Grace? Maya?

I'm not gonna lock you in.

This one, doesn't make me cringe.

I had a special feeling about this one.

You know, it's, uh,

it's right where I wanted to be.

Good form, but not too slick.

There's spontaneity in that pot.

It's its own thing.

You know you're meeting with the dean at noon?

- Yeah. Can you remind Jackie? - She knows.

And I was wondering if it's okay

if I take tomorrow off work?

I was thinking I might do that.

I'd have a lot of work.

For the show.

So is that okay?

If I don't come in?

Lizzy, if you're taking a personal day,

you're taking a personal day.

Okay, so I won't be in tomorrow.

I got it.

And have you talked to Dad?

Because those people are back at his house again.

What people?

The people who stay with him.

Well, your father is living his own life.

And we all wish him the very best.

Lizzy, I'm focusing here.

I can't figure out what class this is.

But I really want to join it.

Thinking and Movement.

Ah.

You're Lizzy, right?

You made that nice flyer.

I haven't gotten to read the article yet,

but I made the flyer.

Cool.

Well, thank you.

I want to impress those students.

And the flyer was very nice.

Thank you.

Yeah, see you around.

...in store for us and I can't wait to listen.

But while I wait to listen, let's listen to...

This is, like, the, uh...

Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper super session...

Hey, you, leave a message.

Hey, Sean, checking in.

My show opens on Monday. It's at Lauren's again.

If you're not busy maybe you'll come.

Okay. Well...

Talk to you later.

Bye.

Hey.

Hey.

They said they were doing a catalogue

and now they're like,

"Oh, it won't be ready before the opening."

Only our school would do that. God.

- Lame. - So lame.

Abigail Firschein spotlight show.

If there's no catalogue,

it's just my thesis show all over again.

Who cares?

It'll happen. Things usually get done,

just not on time.

Yeah, we'll see.

Oh, no. Ricky! Ricky! Ricky!

Ricky! No. No.

No! Bad cat!

Ricky! Ricky!

Bad cat, bad cat. Get out.

Shit.

Oh...

Oh, you dumb bird.

Ooh...
