Kenneth:
When I told you I had a particular building in mind for you.
This is the one I was talking about. It's a historical home on
one of the best blocks in all of Brooklyn.
Alex: Remember what
we talked about.
Nancy: I know, poker face.
Kenneth: Built-ins, built-ins.
Nancy: Oh, the kitchen's a little small.
Kenneth: Well, rip off
this awful room divider, and you've got an eat-in kitchen. And
over here you have your library.
Alex: Wow.
Nancy: For your books.
Kenneth: Oh, you like books?
Alex: I have a little collection of first-edition novels.
Nancy: Alex is a writer.
Kenneth: The parlor.
Nancy: Oh, my God.
Alex: So, this staircase. This leads to where?
Kenneth: I thought you realized. This is a duplex.
Nancy: As in two floors for the price of one?
Kenneth: I believe it's right there in the listing sheet.
Alex: So, why was it sealed off? Were there, like,
a slew of murders up there
or something?
Kenneth: No, actually there's just a sweet, little old lady that lives
upstairs.
Nancy: A tenant?
Kenneth: Mm-hmm.
Alex: So, rent control means we can't kick her out, right?
Nancy: Alex!
Kenneth: That's a legitimate question. No, you cannot
evict her. She has to decide to leave or, God forbid... Poor thing
hasn't been feeling well lately. She's gotta be close to 100
years old. |
