The story so far
Everything you need before watchingNaomi restyles the apartment and hires a polished butler. One night they come home early and walk into his party: strangers everywhere, cash gone from the sock drawer, jewelry missing. Jordan starts almost gentle, then the question turns into a beating over a name, Rudy. Chester and Toby go too far. The cops are called, and Jordan still thanks the officer on the way out.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageIt was just a normal day. I knew you were coming home the next day. So everything would be fine. It'd be cleaned up. I got a little high at breakfast. So I got a little happy. I had some eggs, I had a little bit of ice cream. And then I said, "Who do I know that likes ice cream?" It's my friend, Rudy. So I called Rudy.
就是平常的一天。 我知道你们第二天回家。 所以一切都会没事。会收拾干净。 早餐时我嗨了一点。 所以心情好了一点。我吃了鸡蛋, 还吃了点冰淇淋。 然后我想,“我认识谁喜欢冰淇淋?” 就是我朋友鲁迪。所以我给鲁迪打了电话。
