[Lizzie sculpts a clay figure. Jo enters and looks at it] 

Jo: Hi. She's amazing.  

[Close-up of clay figure] 

Jo: Love the green stockings. 

[Pan of studio space where people are weaving fabric on looms, then to Lizzie eating outside. Another woman sitting nearby addresses her.] 

Woman: You're Lizzie, right? I can't figure out what class this is...  

[Shot of four women dancing amid tall grass] 

Woman: ...but I really wanna join it.

[Jo rolls a tire down the street to make a swing] 

[Cut to Lizzie standing in her backyard] 

Lizzie: I don't know what I'm supposed to do without hot water. 

[Jo plays on the tire swing] 

Jo: My show is open on Friday; I'll be free to deal with it after that. 

Lizzie: I have a show, too, you know. You're not the only one with a deadline. 

Jo: I know, but I have two shows, which is insane. Hey, give me a push. 

[Shot of Lizzie at a gallery show, behind a review quote: “An absolute joy of a comedy about making art and living life”] 

Lizzie: You should make more like this. 

[Lizzie sits in Bill's art studio, looking at a clay vase] 

Bill: I'm enjoying my retirement. I get up, I do a little of this and a little of that, and before you know it, it's time to watch TV again. 

Lizzie: That sounds terrible. 

[Shot of a different artist at work behind a review quote: "A sublime character study, overflowing with humor and heart"] 

[Lizzie walks outside and sees Sean digging a large hole in the ground] 

Lizzie: What's going on?

Sean: I'm making a piece. It's a very major piece. Very major. 

[Previously unseen woman sits and addresses Lizzie] 

Woman: He's a genius. He was always incredibly creative. 

Lizzie: A lot of people are creative. 

[Jo watches while men work on a colorful mixed media sculpture] 

Eric: I saw some of Jo's work at a studio yesterday. Wow, it just gives me such a lift. Pretty amazing. 

[Lizzie listens, looking tired] 

[Shot of someone walking through a video installation space behind a review quote with four stars above: "A witty tale of creative rivalry... Reichardt is one of our best directors"] 

[Lizzie confronts Jo on the street] 

Lizzie: When's my hot water coming back on? 

Jo (sounding annoyed): I'm on it. 

[Lizzie and others talk, snack, and view art at a gallery] 

Lizzie: Easy on the cheese. It's for everyone. I don't wanna run out.  

Sean: Cheese is out on the table. You shouldn't put cheese out on the table if you don't want people to eat it. 

[Two people skateboard on the street behind a review quote: “Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams make an intimate and beautiful cinematic experience.”] 

[Shots of Lizzie looking at art and walking into her home]

[Cut to Lizzie talking on the phone.] 

Lizzie: You know, I'm sick of not having hot water, Jo. It's such a total drag and such a shitty thing to do to a person. I'm sick of it. Have a great night.
