Hey, Lacie!
Ryan?
Ryan!
I was holding a bomb! Come on!
Sorry, guys.
Landlord is sending buyers over today so...
put your pants on.
Maybe if I don't, it'll scare 'em off
and we can stay here.
Not an option, Ryan. Lease is up in four weeks.
Hey, I'm thinking of you. I've got somewhere to go.
Nate's roommate took a job in Phoenix
so I get his place.
Okay. Now who's the slow poke?
I'm... seeing some places over lunch.
Catch you later.
Sorry, that was my sister.
Yeah. Yeah, I bet you'd love to.
Jasmine tea?
And that's one Brushed Suede.
You want a cookie with that?
It's on the house. Sounds awesome.
See you tomorrow, JJ. See you, Lacie.
Oh, I saw your boy in the fire hat just now! So cute!
Yeah, he's really something.
Hey, Lacie!
Bets, it's great to see you! You too.
How's Pancakes?
He's hilarious. Such a funny cat. Just the best.
Are you still at Hoddicker?
Yeah. It's going pretty great. Good to hear.
So what brings you back here? New job, first day.
First day? At BlankmanHarper.
Top floor! That's...
Well, good luck. I know, right?
It's great you're still happy at Hoddicker.
Well, maybe not forever. No, not forever.
But for now... It's OK for now.
It's great for now, yes. Yes, it is.
Lacie, I got you a smoothie.
Got one for everyone, actually. Still a bunch of them for grabs.
They're from the organic stall at the farmers' market.
Sure. Okay.
Thank you. Thank you.
We're kind of not talking to Ches.
3.1? What happened?
Him and Gordon split up.
Poor Ches.
No, no, no, we're all on Gordon's side.
Sure! Obviously.
Ches is kissing ass. Trying to scrape himself back.
Of course, if it drops below two-five, then it's...
bye-bye.
Hello?
Yo, they're taking it. Who?
The couple the landlord sent over.
I heard them talking.
Okay.
So, now we move into the light space area.
Ideal for special times with loved ones.
Great food, great company.
Sampled your photo stream to make her.
Great hair!
Styled free of charge at the members' salon.
Oh, my God.
It's hilarious!
You like him?
He's okay. He doesn't come with the apartment.
But there is a bar and restaurant on site, tenants only.
We have unparalleled metrics on romantic geneses.
I gotta say, these places are going like "That."
So don't delay if you're interested.
I'm more than interested.
Standard occupancy on a minimum six-month contract,
we're talking... this much.
How often are the payments? That's weekly.
Okay.
A little more than expected? Yeah.
There's options.
You know our Prime Influencers Programme?
Do I qualify for that? No. No, you don't.
We'd need you around a 4.5.
4.5?
4.5
Hit 4.5 and there's a 20% discount.
4.5. That's right.
Pelican Cove?
What is this? A eugenics programme?
A lifestyle community. No one is this happy.
A two-year-old with a fucking balloon isn't this happy.
It's actually a pretty cool place.
Like you'd even qualify.
There's nothing I can do, sir.
Well, it's not hopeless, you're clearly a tryer.
That's the sense you get just from... me?
From your rep report analytics.
If we drill down into the numbers,
you've got a solid popularity arc here.
Strong overall trajectory. Let's just look at the last 24 hours.
You see, even--
What's that? 8:40 a.m.
You're working hard on your socials.
Great little uptake there. Okay.
Couple of minor dings there. You cut someone off in traffic?
Oh, just a workplace thing.
Okay. Let's check on your sphere of influence.
Let me zoom out here.
Great peripherals.
Strangers like you, that's a plus.
Healthy inner circle. It's good. Thank you.
There's a ways to go, but 4.5 is certainly achievable.
How long do you think?
To hit 4.5?
Well, barring a major setback,
a public disgrace kind of deal, I'd say 18 months or so.
Oh, I need more short term. Like... much more.
Then you'll need a boost.
What kind of a boost? Well...
Most of your interactions are confined to your inner circle
and they're largely, pardon the term, mid-to low-range folks.
Same with your outer circle.
You've got a ton of reciprocal
five stars from service industry workers,
but there's not much else.
At least as far as I can see.
So in terms of quality, you could use a punch up right there.
Ideally, that's up votes from quality people.
Quality people? High fours.
Impress those up-scale folks, you'll gain velocity on your arc
and there's your boost.
Oh, hi, JJ! Hey, Lacie!
