In 1996, a Canadian high school student participates in an Austrian exchange-student program.
He befriends a young Austrian.
13 years later, that Austrian comes to New York to study at a music school.
His dorm has no sheets available the first night, so he bunks with the Canadian.
The next morning the Canadian and the Austrian go buy sheets at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
The Canadian is 20 minutes late for work.
Kate, without office keys, can’t get in.
The boss is mad.
Kate gets to have her own set of keys made.
That night, Kate realizes she locked herself out of her apartment.
She calls a locksmith.
On the phone, they tell her it will be $45.
They can’t open the front door. The locksmith is miffed and confused Kate doesn’t have keys to the front door.
Poor Segundo, the 4' 11" basement-dwelling super, is summoned to unlock the front door.
Once he’s inside, the locksmith’s price jumps to $45 for just showing up plus $89 to actually unlock the apartment door.
There is yelling. The locksmith storms out.
Thanks to her first day with office keys, Kate actually has a place to sleep while she waits for her roommate to come back from
California.
