  Sarah Reeves Merrin : No, no, no, I don't wanna rent. Look, I know this is gonna sound weird, but my Mom lived here twenty years ago, in apartment, uh, 3E, and she died, and it would be really nice if just one time, I could maybe see...

  Cecilia Wiznarski : Look, honey, this is not Colonial Williamsburg, I don't give tours.
