Nainika: Any random day.
Abbas: I’m going to say something very depressing. But I mean, don’t we all live the same day over and over again? We wake up, dress up, and we go to work and then we hate our job and we’re sitting at our cubicle like “I’m going to do something one day when my dreams come true!” But then take a train commute back to the house and just...
Nainika: Oh God, Abbas!
Abbas: Sit in front of the TV and be like...
Nainika: Awful and Awesome was supposed to be about hope. What are you doing?
