Speaker 4: real quick.
Speaker 5: So I met this barista and he's always working when
Speaker 5: I get coffee, and you know, he's kind of flirty
Speaker 5: and I can tell he's interested. But then I see
Speaker 5: him looking at every girl who comes in, and I
Speaker 5: just I don't like the vibe.
Speaker 4: He seems wishy, washy. H Anyway, so we've been talking
Speaker 4: and he's a scorpio.
Speaker 3: Good moon and airy, and you know, I feel that's.
Speaker 4: That also, well, sounds like he likes you.
Speaker 3: You think, I don't know?
Speaker 4: Just ask him. You don't have to fuck, It's just coffee.
Speaker 6: What if I want the fuck?

Speaker 4: me know how it goes.
Speaker 3: Okay, I will Okay, Bye, Bye.
Speaker 4: Hi, you're late. I know, I'm I'm so sorry. Traffic
Speaker 4: was just awful. I heard I'm sorry, I heard you
Speaker 4: on the phone.
Speaker 3: Just now.
Speaker 4: I don't need an explanation. Let's just get started. Please
Speaker 4: take your shoes off. Sure, you can set up on
Speaker 4: the island. The kitchen is just right there. Perfect. So
Speaker 4: how did you hear about my work social media?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Nice, well not your social media. Oh I was looking
Speaker 4: at this one makeup artist. Oh I can't remember her name,
Speaker 4: Patti Patsy. Oh yeah, Patty, you worked at a counter together. Yes, well,
Speaker 4: I really wanted to work with her today, but she
Speaker 4: was booked, so she recommended you got it. Well, I
Speaker 4: will have to thank her. How long have you been
Speaker 4: doing this? About ten years now?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 4: You look very young? Yes, well I get that a lot.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just about set up here if you'd like
Speaker 4: to have a seat, thanky. So what kind of look
Speaker 4: are we going for tonight? This is Flora date night
Speaker 4: with my husband.
Speaker 1: Later.
Speaker 4: He's not here right now. He always works late. Sure,
Speaker 4: I want to look polished. Do not make me look
Speaker 4: like one of those trash reality TV stars. Something chic.
Speaker 4: I'd like my eyes to pop, but not too much,
Speaker 4: and don't be afraid to use more eyeliner. I like
Speaker 4: more of that, of course. Well let me just get
Speaker 4: started here. I'm just pinning back your bangs and let's
Speaker 4: get you all primed. What are you doing?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: I was just doing some skincare. Am I using too
Speaker 4: much pressure? I thought you were just gonna do my makeup,
Speaker 4: not give me a massage, right, of course. Then let's
Speaker 4: just do the eyes while that product sinks in for shadow.
Speaker 4: I want something natural, like a mushroom color.
Speaker 1: Mushroom mushroom, like.
Speaker 4: A white button or a portabello or cremony. Are you
Speaker 4: trying to be funny? No, not at all. I just
Speaker 4: wanted to get an idea. Just make it natural. I
Speaker 4: wish I could see what's going on. Of course, here's
Speaker 4: the mirror. That color looks really good on you. It's
Speaker 4: coming together. I think if I add some minor maybe
Speaker 4: a flick on the outer corner, it would be just enough. Fine.
Speaker 4: So what do you do for work? I'm in real estate?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 4: Nice? I love this area. It's right next to downtown
Speaker 4: Long Beach, but the neighborhood is nice and quiet. So
Speaker 4: do you angle the mirror towards me? I just want
Speaker 4: to be able to see what you're doing?
Speaker 9: Absolutely down a little mess, Scara. Okay, how do we
Speaker 9: feel about the liner?
Speaker 4: Would you like more? Again? I want it to be natural?
Speaker 1: Got it?
Speaker 4: Then let me. Just clean up under your eyes cut
Speaker 4: for me, take a closer look and let me know
Speaker 4: what you think that works.
Speaker 3: But they're alive, girl.
Speaker 4: I am just so tired of the grind.
Speaker 10: I can't wait to get to Mexico and just decompress.
Speaker 4: Yeah, tell me about it. Hey, speaking of the grind,
Speaker 4: I gotta go. I'm outside this lady's house and I
Speaker 4: do not want to get caught on the phone again.
Speaker 4: She seems like a nightmare. Why do you go back
Speaker 4: to her? I have to eat?
Speaker 5: Oh, tell me about it. But you always seem like
Speaker 5: your books solid.
Speaker 7: I don't know why you deal with people like that.
Speaker 8: Well, you know.
Speaker 4: How it is when you freelance, feast or famine. Seriously,
Speaker 4: when has it ever been a famine for you? Okay,
Speaker 4: point taken. But you know it's not just me I
Speaker 4: have to worry about.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, your mom needs help. Well, I guess that's a
Speaker 4: legitimate reason.
Speaker 8: Haha.
Speaker 4: For reals, I have to go.
Speaker 7: Okay, I have to get back to Okay, bye bye.
Speaker 4: You made it on time, I aim to please. Should
Speaker 4: I set up in the same spot?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Are we getting you ready for a date night again?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: Actually, I'd like something similar to what we did last time.
Speaker 4: I seem to be the only person who doesn't want
Speaker 4: to look caked in make up. It's natural, no problem, right,
Speaker 4: and let me just pin back your bangs. We'll just
Speaker 4: start with the eyes again. No jokes today. Well I'm
Speaker 4: only funny before five pm. I forgot to mention this
Speaker 4: last time. But you have a beautiful home. Thanks, it's
Speaker 4: the craftsman look. It's very long beach, but we tried
Speaker 4: to put our own style into it, my husband and me.
Speaker 4: It shows. Are you both from around here? No, we're
Speaker 4: from Indiana, but you got a job in aerospace, so
Speaker 4: here we are. Moves are tough. Are you from around here? Yes,
Speaker 4: but I've heard so many people talk about how hard
Speaker 4: it is. You don't really get it till it happens
Speaker 4: to you. Of course, you know the city isn't perfect.
Speaker 4: I've always wanted to see what it was like to
Speaker 4: live somewhere else, maybe get away for a while. You've
Speaker 4: never left, Nope, not even for schools aud abroad, anything, Nope?
Speaker 4: Did you Well? I was an o parent in Spain
Speaker 4: for a summer right after high school. Oh that sounds cool. Well,
Speaker 4: I was young and it was an experience. You know,
Speaker 4: Barcelona is incredible. The architecture alone is worth the visit.
Speaker 4: Being in real estate, I notice these things. And what
Speaker 4: about the people. Oh, it was hard because my Spanish
Speaker 4: is terrible, but I actually really liked being an o pair.
Speaker 4: You know how kids are. What do you mean, Well,
Speaker 4: they're curious. They tend to look up to you if
Speaker 4: you show an interest in what they're doing, you know,
Speaker 4: like books, TV shows. It's nice taking care of someone sometimes.
Speaker 4: Do you have any plans to travel soon? Yes, well,
Speaker 4: I'd like to get back to Indianapolis as soon as
Speaker 4: I have the chance. I can see that. Look this way,
Speaker 4: it can get really lonely here. What do you mean, Well,
Speaker 4: you know, people can be clique, and there's so much
Speaker 4: pride in the city. You might not always feel welcome
Speaker 4: if you're a transplant. Yes, people here are die hard.
Speaker 4: They are. It's like if I have to hear La
Speaker 4: compared to Long Beach one more time. All right, all right,
Speaker 4: it's not all bad.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 4: It's the suburbs, but we have stuff. The suburbs are
Speaker 4: the suburbs, no matter how you dress them up. True,
Speaker 4: but we have a poor university, tons of local small
Speaker 4: businesses and nightlife and arts scene. Okay, okay, I get it.
Speaker 4: I looked that way and looked down. What was your
Speaker 4: favorite thing about Indiana? Well it wasn't organic everything you
Speaker 4: could eat without judgment. Oh you mean you didn't hang
Speaker 4: out with people who need a million substitutions and the
Speaker 4: people we had our people here. It's hard to find people. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, I'm really lucky because I've had my friends
Speaker 4: for years. That's the thing about moving away. I can't
Speaker 4: imagine leaving them. Well, it is hard to make friends
Speaker 4: as an adult, I'll bet. Okay, Well, we can always
Speaker 4: tweak a few things. But take a look and let
Speaker 4: me know what you think that works. You know, I've
Speaker 4: been thinking about growing out my bangs. Ah, the perpetual
Speaker 4: bang dilemma. Yeah, I've had them for years. But you
Speaker 4: know my stylist is back home. You don't do hair
Speaker 4: to do Actually I do a lot of us do
Speaker 4: hair and makeup. You want a quick bang from yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: but very minimal. I don't want to change the shape,
Speaker 4: no problem. Let me get my tools a right and
Speaker 4: look down for me, and I'm just making sure we
Speaker 4: get all your bangs. You don't want any stragglers and
Speaker 4: I'm just cutting very little, very conservative. That's it, and
Speaker 4: I can always go shorter if you like. But take
Speaker 4: a look and let me know what you think. Oh,
Speaker 4: it's it's my husband. Hi, I'm just getting ready. What
Speaker 4: m are you sure?
Speaker 13: But I'm fine?
Speaker 4: What happened?
Speaker 10: What do you mean?
Speaker 4: I thought the plan was to keep the shape. Oh,
Speaker 4: well I went very conservative. It's chopped. I'm sorry. Right here,
Speaker 4: it's chopped. Don't tell me you can't see that.
Speaker 12: Well, I can just blend.
Speaker 4: No, don't touch it. It's over. I'm so sorry. Here's
Speaker 4: your payment. I'm not giving you extra for this botched cut.
Speaker 4: I'm okay, I mean, of course again, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 11: Whatever.
Speaker 8: What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Hi?
Speaker 4: I know it's been a while, so thank you so
Speaker 4: much for giving me another chance. Well you're the only
Speaker 4: one I know, right, Please just get set up. I
Speaker 4: impressed for time, of course. So what kind of look
Speaker 4: were you thinking? Just do what you did last time?
Speaker 12: No problem?
Speaker 4: What are you doing? Oh? I was just pinning your
Speaker 4: hair back. But I can work around it if you'd like.
Speaker 4: This is a mistake. I don't understand. I don't want
Speaker 4: my hair touched. That's fine. I can work around it. No,
Speaker 4: I need you to leave, you need me to leave? Yes,
Speaker 4: you owe me one hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 14: One hundred and fifty dollars, and I'm not leaving here
Speaker 14: without it. You think you can just treat people like
Speaker 14: shit and expect them to take it.
Speaker 11: Oh, people like me.
Speaker 4: You think you're so much better with your big ass house.
Speaker 11: Just give me my money.
Speaker 4: Don't ever text me again. I'm sorry what I just
Speaker 4: wanted to say. I'm sorry. It's not you. I know,
Speaker 4: it's not me. I know, I know. It's just I
Speaker 4: haven't been myself for a while now, and I don't
Speaker 4: want you to think you're the first real person I've
Speaker 4: had a conversation with since I got here. M hm.
Speaker 1: H m hm.
Speaker 4: Hm.
Speaker 6: Cat, Hey, you can make friends here. You just have
Speaker 6: to be more open. Would it kill you to crack
Speaker 6: a smile?
Speaker 4: I know, but it's not just that.
Speaker 1: Then what.
Speaker 4: The reason I don't what my hair touched is because
Speaker 4: it's falling out? Really, I don't see anything. I've started chemo.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm so sorry. That is just awful.
Speaker 4: You really shouldn't be alone right now. Maybe call your husband.
Speaker 4: You're not my husband, not anymore. I'm so sorry. Is
Speaker 4: it the sadest thing in the world that you're the
Speaker 4: only one who knows. Sometimes it's easier to share these
Speaker 4: things with a stranger. I guess I don't even know
Speaker 4: your name. It's Anne. Call me Annie, Annie. Okay, can
Speaker 4: I give you another hug? Come on, come on?
Speaker 10: Okay.
Speaker 4: You know I've heard that some women claim their power
Speaker 4: back by shaving their head before it all falls out. Yes,
Speaker 4: I've heard that. D do you have your clippers? Maybe?
Speaker 4: Are you going to yell at me afterwards? I can't
Speaker 4: make any promises. I guess I will have to take
Speaker 4: my chances. One, have a seat. Are you sure you
Speaker 4: want to do this? Yes? You don't have to decide now,
Speaker 4: I'm sure. Hey, you're in good hands. Thank you, Annie,
Speaker 4: You're welcome.
