hwpNARRATOR: So, youre
finally settling down.
Youve saved up
a little nest egg
and are ready to dive into
the real estate market.
Lets do a little
shopping around.
The American dream home.
Two bedrooms, two bathrooms,
one doghouse, one garage,
two garbage cans.
Its cozy, safe,
and just barely within
your overstretched budget.
Not for you?
For the same price,
you can buy acres
of prime Sahara wasteland.
Put up a cottage.
Nothing but you and the sky.
Its like a beach
without the ocean.
And talk about quiet neighbors.
Too remote?
Oh, I understand.
You need the thrill
and excitement of the big city.
With that same nest egg,
you can get a slice
of prime real estate.
Not this real estate.
Cozy and affordable,
this lovely fixer-upper
is the perfect place
for a dynamic couple like you.
No need to putter around
the house.
Its all right there
where you stand.
Whats the matter?
Feeling a little cramped?
Well, just a stones
throw away,
just one bridge
or a tunnel ride,
just outside the big,
bustling city,
there is a place
with wide-open spaces,
friendly natives,
and spacious dwellings.
And its all within
your price range.
Its almost
too good to be true.
KENNETH:
When I told you
I had a particular building
in mind for you,
this is the one
I was talking about.
Its a historical home
on one of the best blocks
in all of Brooklyn.
- Remember what we talked about.
- I know. Poker face.
Built-ins, built-ins.
Oh, the kitchens
a little small.
Well, rip out this
awful room divider,
and youve got
an eat-in kitchen.
And over here
you have your library.
Wow.
For your books.
Oh, you like books?
I have a little collection
of first-edition novels.
Alex is a writer.
The parlor.
Oh, my God.
So, this staircase.
This leads to where?
I thought you realized.
This is a duplex.
As in two floors
for the price of one?
I believe its right there
in the listing sheet.
So, why was it sealed off?
Were there, like, a slew of
murders up there or something?
No, theres just a sweet, little
old lady that lives upstairs.
A tenant?
Mm-hmm.
So, rent control means
we cant kick her out, right?
Alex!
Thats a legitimate question.
You cannot evict her.
She has to decide to leave
or, God forbid...
Poor thing hasnt been
feeling well lately.
Shes gotta be close
to years old.
Mrs. Connelly?
It may take her a while.
Shes hard of hearing.
Mrs. Connelly?
[Footsteps]
[Door unlocks]
[Latch squeaks, slides]
Kenneth.
[Coughs]
Theres my favorite girl.
How you feeling today,
Mrs. Connelly?
I dont feel too good, Kenneth.
Oh, Im sorry to hear that,
Mrs. Connelly.
I brought by a young couple that
may want to buy the apartment.
- Hi.
- Hi, Mrs. Connelly.
Im Nancy Kendricks.
This is my husband, Alex Rose.
Hello.
We were wondering
if we could look around.
[Coughs]
I dont feel up to it.
Im sorry, dear.
Nice seeing you again, Kenneth.
[Coughing and hacking]
You have a Mommy-and-Me
park over here.
You got shopping that way.
No traffic.
It is ideal.
Heres my card
if you want to make an offer.
Theres a lot of heat
on this place.
Id say itll be
off the market by Monday.
Adios.
Three fireplaces?
Guys, the place sounds
incredible.
And surprisingly affordable.
Its kind of affordable.
Its really at the high end
of our price range.
But when you factor in
that its a duplex.
Its a duplex?
Yes.
Oh.
You know, its Brooklyn,
first of all.
We werent even thinking
about Brooklyn, so...
Oh, actually, which reminds me.
Did you bring it?
Oh, yeah.
Is this the latest in
the Don Piper mystery series?
Fresh off the presses.
I inscribed this copy
to you guys.
- Oh!
- NANC Y: Coop, thank you.
I am sure its not
gonna be as brilliant
as your new book, but a couple
decent metaphors in there.
Turn of phrase.
We forgot to tell them
the big news.
Oh, God.
Yes.
What is it?
Go ahead.
Were pregnant.
Wow!
Congratulations.
Congratulations, man.
Im so happy for you!
You guys must have
just found out.
No. Unh-unh.
Im four months along. Yeah.
- Four months?
- Mm-hmm.
- Oop!
- Oh, honey.
Stop.
Hello!
I mean, were not
gonna want to live here
once we start having babies.
And that upstairs would make
the cutest playroom.
Well, I dont want Mrs. Connelly
coughing on my baby.
You know what I mean.
Besides, do you realize how much
the duplex is gonna be worth
once we get both floors?
I know how much it costs.
Its gonna be worth
a bazillion times that.
Really? A bazillion?
Thats an incredible return.
Come on, Alex, what better way
to finish your novel
than in your own th-century
oak writers nook?
It would be nice
not to write at Starbucks
with the other novelists.
Because you deserve
your own nook.
Thats my train.
All right.
Lets do it.
Really?
- Yeah.
- Aah!
Oh, this is so wonderful.
Were gonna have a home.
Yeah. All right.
I love you.
I love you!
I could have sworn
we had more stuff.
Its gonna look great.
Mrs. Connelly, its
Nancy Kendricks and Alex Rose,
from downstairs.
Let me look at you.
Oh!
Hi.
We just wanted to come up
and say hi.
Oh, what a nice surprise.
Come in.
Come in.
Thank you.
Wow.
What an amazing apartme
