Zosia Mamet njengoShoshanna Shapiro kwi Amantombazana (ifoto: Geoff Johnson / HBO) Andizukuxoka- bendinovalo xa ndiqonda ukuba esi siqendu sonke sizokujikeleza iJapan. Ndinemibono yokusetyenziswa gwenxa kwenkcubeko, njenge Ihlazo likaGwen Stefani's Harajuku Girls . Ngaba lo ingomnye umzekelo apho abafazi baseJapan babepeyintwe njengezinto ezinga-nye, ezigigithekileyo? Ngombulelo, umbhali uJenni Konner kunye nomphathi u-Jesse Peretz baphakame ngaphezulu kwale (iphantsi kakhulu) ibha.
Isiqendu sivula ngoShoshanna evuka kwigumbi elihle. Kukho ingonyama yoonopopi exhonywe eluphahleni lwetafile kunye nebhedi yayo esecaleni kwebhedi inewotshi enomlomo ohambayo. Ukuba bekukho ibhola ye-aluminium foil, ngokusesikweni siza kuba kuguqulelo lwaseJapan lwe Indlu yokudlala yasePee-wee . Kodwa oku kunjalo Amantombazana , ke endaweni yeencoko ezothusayo nefenitshala sifumana uShosh ebeka ii-headphone zakhe ze-Hello Kitty kwaye emenza ukuba ahambe aye mihla le eofisini. Uyipro- akakhange afakwe kwinqanaba lokutyhalwa kwimetro njengesardadi. Ngokungalindelekanga, kubonakala ngathi uShosh utyumza ubomi eJapan.
Kwaye ngoku sibuyele eMelika, apho uHana agcina khona ukungazithembi okungathandekiyo Amantombazana uyaphila. Ngoba? Ufumene iifoto ezindala zeentombi zangaphambili zikaFran kwifowuni yakhe. Kwaye bahamba ze. Akonwabanga kwaphela. UFran, ezama ukumthoba umsindo, uthi usebenzisa zona nje ukuphulula amaphambili. Xa uHana ebuza ukuba kutheni engasebenzisi nje iphonografi njengendoda eqhelekileyo yomntu, unika impendulo endinqwenela ukuba BONKE abantu ababukela iphonografi bangathathela ingqalelo umzuzwana oshushu- ukuba uninzi lwala mantombazana lusebancinane okanye kwiziyobisi. Dumisa izandla ze-emoji zikaFran !! Kodwa, kunjalo, uHana akachukunyiswa yimikhwa yakhe yokucinga ngokuphulula amaphambili. Endaweni yoko, ufuna nje ukuba acinge ngaye, kwaye kuye kuphela, xa eyixovula.
Ngombulelo, siyawushiya lo mbono ungonwabisiyo kwaye sibuyele eJapan apho, ewe, ubuxhakaxhaka obuninzi bulandela. Kodwa ngeli xesha leentlobo ezithandekayo. UShosh ubalekela eofisini yakhe, uYoshi, kwaye ubuza ukuba wonwabile kusini na kule mpelaveki. UShoshanna uthatha isiNgesi ngokungafanelekanga kwaye umqinisekisa ukuba, ewe, wayonwabe kakhulu. Xa uYoshi exelela uShoshana ukuba wonwabile ngumsebenzi wakhe, uyahlutha kwaye umculo weokhestra uyadumba. Ngokwenene.
Sika kuhlobo oluthile lwe-spa, apho uShosh akwibhafu eshushu, ebonakala ehamba ze, nababini asebenza nabo. Banyanzelisa ukuba uYoshi uyathandana naye, kodwa uShoshanna ubanga ukuba ayinamsebenzi: Nangona ndilapha nje ixesha elifutshane kakhulu, ndiziva ngokwenyani ngathi likhaya lam eli kwaye nina nilusapho lwam. Kwaye andikhathali kwaphela ngabantu baseMelika. Ngelixa ndonwabile ukuba uShosh uziva esekhaya eJapan… kuthekani ngoScott?
Ngeli xesha, uYoshi ukwibhafu eshushu, ehamba ze, ethetha nabahlobo bakhe. Ewe, bayahleba ngoShoshanna. Abahlobo bakaYoshi babanga ukuba amantombazana aseMelika ngesiqhelo athi, Molo, kwaye masibe sidumbile! ukuba banomdla. Amagama aphuma ngqo emlonyeni wam. Kodwa, ekubeni uShosh engakhange athi kwangoko ufuna ukuntywila uYoshi, ngokucacileyo akanamdla.
Besezingubeni zabo ze-spa, uShosh nabahlobo bakhe baya kuthatha iilekese zomqhaphu. Loluphi uhlobo lwephupha lehlabathi ?! Ndise apho! Kuya kuvela ukuba uYoshi ukweli gumbi le-spa yedessert. Ujonge uShosh kalusizi ngelixa ehleli phantsi kwaye ekhotha i-ayiskhrim. Ndicinga ukuba lo mzuzu umelwe ukuba mhle… kodwa ndixakekile.
Kwaye i-WOAH, yinqumle kwi-Desi's gorgeous bare but in the shower yangaphandle. Owu, ndiyaqikelela ukuba uMarni ukhona naye- kodwa u Skyping nje noHana malunga nemifanekiso yamantombazana ehamba ze, ngoku makhe siqwalasele loo mpazamo kwakhona, akunjalo? Oku kubhetele ngakumbi kune-spa ye-candy spa.
Ngapha koko, uMarni uzama ukweyisela uHana ukuba umgaqo-nkqubo ka-Fran ongamanyala ukhanyisiwe. Ngokucacileyo, uHana akanakho kwaye uthelekisa iifoto ze-consensual zokubulala umntu kunye nokugcina intloko yakhe njengendebe. Ngokuqinisekileyo. Kulungile.
Emva kokudutyulwa okuqaqambileyo kobuze be-Desi, sibuyele kwindlu ka-Shoshanna ekhaba i-esile eJapan. U-Skyping nentloko yeofisi yakhe eMelika. UShosh uqhubeka egxalathelana malunga nokuba uwuthanda kangakanani umsebenzi wakhe, kwaye akazihoyi kwaphela iimpawu zokuxelelwa ukuba iesile lakhe sele liza kulawulwa. U-AKA wagxothwa. Usizana olunguShosh ekugqibeleni walifumana igxalaba lakhe, kwaye ngoku kufuneka alishiye ilizwe. Ngokuqondakalayo, utshatile. Nokuba itikiti lasekhaya leShishini lasekhaya aliyi kumonwabisa ngakumbi.
Ukumangaliswa, uHana usacatshukiswa ngamanenekazi ahamba ze kaFran. Kodwa ngoku uyakhalaza kuRay. Ngombulelo, utsho ngokuchanekileyo into esiyicingayo sonke: Ke uyaphikisana nokukhotyokiswa nokuthengiswa kwabafazi abaselula. Enjani yona ingqumbo! Ukanti emva koko, ekugqibeleni, uHana uthi eyona nto imkhathazayo- uyaphuma ebomini bakhe ngamantombazana ngemizimba eshushu ngokwesiqhelo, xa esebenze ixesha elide ukuthanda eyakhe. Azinazo kwaphela iidipozithi ezinomdla kuzo! AMEN.
Kwaye ngoku, ngandlela thile, uHana ubeka kwivenkile yekofu kaRay. Uhamba ze. Ngelixa uEliya ebambe ikhethini. Uxolo, ingaba ivenkile ivuliwe ngoku? Kuthekani ukuba umthengi ungena kwaye abone umfazi oze ze elouving ngqo ecaleni kwenye yeetafile? Ewe, ukuxhasa uthando olumnandi lukaHana ngomzimba wakhe. Kodwa ngokungathí sina, ngaba uRay ukhathazekile ngococeko konke konke? Akumangalisi ukuba angaze abe nabathengi.
Okwangoku, u-Shosh ohluphekileyo usebharini, ezibuza ukuba waphulukana njani nomsebenzi xa esenza kakuhle kangaka. Abahlobo bakhe, bezama ukumthuthuzela, bamkhumbuze ukuba uya kugoduka nendoda yakhe yexesha elizayo! Ukanti uShoshanna akabonakali enomdla kumyeni wakhe kwaphela. Womp womp.
Emuva eMelika, uJesa, uAdam noRay babukele uAdam edlala umntu ongenakhaya kumdlalo wamapolisa. U-Jessa uvulelwe intsebenzo yakhe- kuyabonakala ukuba uzimisele ngakumbi ukudlala ngothando noAdam xa ecinga ukuba uza kuduma.
Ngaphesheya kolwandle, uShosh ubiza uScott amxelele ukuba uza ekhaya. Kucacile ukuba akonwabanga ngayo-- ekufuneka ibe sisilumkiso kuScott sokuba izinto azihambi kakuhle kubudlelwane babo. Kuyavunywa, uScott uxela yonke into yokuba umfana olungileyo uya kuthi- uxelela uShosh ukuba uya kumkhathalela kakhulu, kwaye baya kuhamba phambili kunye. Ukanti emi apho, ekhala ecaleni kwendlela, kuyacaca ukuba uShoshanna akakakulungeli ukushiya ubomi bakhe obutsha- okanye abuye kunye noScott. Ke, uza kwenza ntoni? Kuyabonakala ukuba, thumela umyalezo kuYoshi.
Ngelixa yonke le drama iyenzeka, uHana noFran banesondo esingakhuselekanga. Ukusuka kwinkangeleko yobuso bakhe, kuyacaca ukuba uHana ucinga ngenye into ngaphandle kwe-D- kwaye into leyo yimifanekiso ka-Fran owayeyintombi ehamba ze. Ugh, yiya ngaphaya kwalo mfazi.
Kwiflethi eyahlukileyo ye-NYC, u-Jessa akanakuyeka ukuxubusha malunga nokuba ngumlingisi omkhulu kangakanani we-TV ka-Adam. Meta. Emva koko uRay uye kulala, ebashiya ukuba bajonge ngokulangazelela. Emva kokubonisa ihaiku ayibhalileyo eluphahleni- yintoni? - UAdam wamanga uJesa. Akumangalisi apho. Awu, uyamsusa. Ndiyaqala ngenene ukufuna aba babini bahlangane. Okwangoku, ngomnye umzuzu we-meta, u-Jessa uyahamba kwaye avakalise ukuba andenzi le nto, ngaba ngekhe babethwe. Ii-Kudos zokuncamathela kwimipu yakho, Jessa. Ungavumeli ukuba iihormone zihlale phantsi.
Ukuthetha ngehomoni, uShosh akanakubonakala egxile kumculo kumboniso wepunk. Endaweni yoko, wenza indlela eya kuYoshi aze amsongele ngengalo. Sivela phi esi sibindi? Kulungile, ubomi bakhe bonke butshintshe ngokupheleleyo. Uya kubola. Kwaye wayaphula ayenza, edanisa noYoshi, emva koko abafana ababini, emva koko bathathu.
Ukanti uShosh akenzanga kusothusa. Kuba ngokulandelayo, ukwindidi ethile yesisele esikwinqanaba eliphezulu lokwabelana ngesondo kunye noYoshi nabahlobo bakhe. Kukho unqulo lwenyawo, umdlalo wentambo, kunye nokudinwa okuqhubekayo- okwangoku, ngokumangalisayo, uShosh akabaleki. Endaweni yoko uthetha kwi-dominatrix kwaye ubukele umfana ukuba i-wax eshushu iwele kwi-esile lakhe. Emva koko, abahlobo bakaYoshi abakhwankqisayo bamcela ukuba anxibe isinxibo sabongikazi… kwaye uyavuma. YINTONI IHLABATHI ELI. Xa ebuyela esiseleni, enxibe impahla emhlophe yomongikazi we-latex, i-dominatrix ibetha omnye wabasebenzi bakaYoshi. Ngandlela thile baqinisekisa uShosh ukuba ambethe. Kwaye emva koko uyenza nzima. Ndiyalithanda eli bhinqa litsha linegunya nelizithembayo… kanti kwangaxeshanye, kubonakala ngathi lenza lento kuba icinezelwe. Okubi ngakumbi kukuba, umonzakalisile umntu wakhe okrelekrele- ngaba lixesha? - kwaye kufuneka ahambe. Ewe, uYoshi uhamba naye. Kwaye benza indlela esecaleni. Kakhulu kuEric!
Ngelixa ulele uFran, uHana uyachwechwa ebhedini asuse bonke abafazi abahamba ze kwifowuni yakhe. Ngokukrakra, Hana? Oku kuphela kakubi– uza kuqaphela, kwaye uza kubonakala ngathi uyaphambana. Emva koko, ukwenza izinto zibe zibi nakakhulu, uHana utshintsha i-screensaver kaFran kumfanekiso wakhe ohamba ze.
Emva kobusuku bakhe obuhlanyayo, uShosh ekugqibeleni ubuyele kwigumbi lakhe. Xa ejonga i-voicemail yakhe, kukho umyalezo othandekayo ovela eScott, esithi akanakulinda ukumanga emva kwendiza yakhe. Ewe, uShosh akekho kwindiza. Kwaye akazimiselanga kukhwela kwenye, nokuba. Kodwa ihlwempu iScott likwisikhululo seenqwelomoya, lilinde iintyatyambo. KANYE nomqondiso othi Shosh yeyona-sh. Yiza, kutheni engayifuni le ndoda?!
UScott ulinda uShosh okwethutyana ixesha elide, emva koko ayeke kwaye alahle isipha sakhe emgqomeni. Njengokuba esiya ngakwiminyango yesikhululo seenqwelomoya, eyona nto ndiyicingayo yile: Uza kwenza ntoni lo Shosh? Kutheni le nto yena noHana bephatha amasoka abo athandekayo njengobhanxa? Ngaba umntu okhoyo kulo mboniso uya kuhlala enobudlelwane obuzinzileyo? Impendulo kungenzeka ukuba hayi, kodwa sinokuba nethemba. Mhlawumbi isiqendu esilandelayo siza kuphosa ingqondo ngendlela yethu.
