The Neighbors/ Michael

The Apartment — Michael, Juyeen, Lowen & Justin

General Overview

Type: Two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment Residents: Michael Cruz, Juyeen Rodriguez, Lowen Garrick, and Justin Donato Layout: Open-plan living room and kitchen, two shared bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a small entrance hallway. Aesthetic: Cozy modern, alternative, gamer-inspired, and lived-in.

The apartment is a comfortable, moderately sized rental shared by four best friends in their early twenties. It isn't luxurious, but it has enough space for everyone to sleep, relax, game, cook, and spend time together.

The apartment has a practical layout with two bedrooms on opposite sides of the main living area. Michael and Juyeen share one bedroom, while Lowen and Justin share the other. The shared kitchen and living room form the social heart of the apartment.

The interior reflects all four personalities: Michael's creative and alternative taste, Juyeen's obsession with games and collectibles, Lowen's nerdy interests, and Justin's practical, organized approach to everyday life.

1. Apartment Layout

The front door opens into a small entrance hallway leading directly into the main living area.

• Left side: Living room and access to Michael and Juyeen's bedroom.
• Center: Open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen.
• Right side: Hallway leading to Lowen and Justin's bedroom and the bathroom.
• Back wall: Kitchen counters, cabinets, refrigerator, and a small window overlooking the outside.

The two bedrooms sit on opposite sides of the apartment, giving each pair a little separation from the other. The bathroom is centrally accessible, so everyone can reach it without walking through somebody else's bedroom.

2. Living Room

The living room is the largest shared space and where the four friends spend most of their time together.

Design: Cozy modern with dark accents, warm lighting, and a casual gaming atmosphere.

Furniture and Decor:

• A large charcoal-gray sectional sofa facing the television.
• A low black coffee table covered with coasters, controllers, snacks, and the occasional abandoned drink.
• A large flat-screen television mounted on the wall.
• A TV console containing game consoles, controllers, headphones, and assorted accessories.
• A soft area rug in dark gray beneath the coffee table.
• Warm floor lamps and subtle LED lighting behind the television.
• Framed gaming posters, movie prints, and a few pieces of alternative wall art.
• Throw blankets and cushions scattered across the sofa.
• A small side table for drinks and snacks.
• A standing fan near the window for warmer days.

The living room is deliberately comfortable rather than immaculate. There are usually a few hoodies draped over the sofa, a controller charging near the television, and a bowl of snacks that someone claims they will clean up later.

How They Use It:

Michael often occupies one end of the couch, scrolling through his phone or developing character ideas. Juyeen sits close to the television with a controller in his hands, enthusiastically playing games or showing everyone a new purchase.

Lowen tends to lean back against the cushions, glasses on, making sarcastic comments about whatever is happening onscreen. Justin sometimes stretches out on the other side after a workout, enjoying the peace or joining the game.

Movie nights, multiplayer sessions, arguments over fictional characters, and late-night conversations are common here.

3. Kitchen and Dining Area

The kitchen connects directly to the living room without a separating wall, making the apartment feel more spacious.

Design: Practical modern kitchen with dark countertops, white or light-gray cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, and warm overhead lighting.

Features:

• Full-size refrigerator with magnets, notes, and a shared grocery list.
• Electric stove and oven.
• Microwave positioned on the countertop.
• Dishwasher, if the rental includes one.
• Stainless-steel sink beneath a small window.
• Upper and lower cabinets for dishes, cookware, and pantry supplies.
• A coffee maker and electric kettle.
• Countertop containers holding utensils, cooking oil, and seasonings.
• A small dining table with four chairs.
• A simple pendant light above the dining table.

The kitchen is functional and slightly crowded during busy mornings. The dining table doubles as a place to eat, study, sort collectibles, and occasionally leave things that nobody remembers to put away.

Shared Kitchen Habits:

Justin is the most consistent about meal preparation. He keeps protein-rich foods, eggs, rice, chicken, vegetables, and other practical ingredients stocked when possible.

Michael enjoys making simple meals and snacks, especially when he is in the mood to experiment.

Lowen can prepare food but is equally happy ordering takeout when everyone is too tired to cook.

Juyeen frequently wanders into the kitchen looking for snacks. He occasionally buys themed snacks or drinks because the packaging features a character he likes.

A whiteboard or magnetic notepad on the refrigerator tracks grocery needs, shared expenses, and reminders.

4. Bathroom

The apartment has one shared full bathroom, accessible from the central hallway.

Design: Simple, clean, and modern, with white tiles, gray accents, and practical storage.

Features:

• A bathtub and shower combination with a clear shower curtain.
• A white vanity with a built-in sink.
• A large mirror above the sink.
• A toilet beside the vanity.
• A mirrored medicine cabinet for everyday toiletries.
• Shelves or baskets for towels and personal-care products.
• Hooks behind the door for bath towels.
• A small laundry hamper.
• A bath mat and a simple shower organizer.

Each roommate has a designated space for toiletries, preventing the counter from becoming completely overwhelmed with products.

Justin keeps his grooming supplies organized. Lowen has his beard-care products and glasses-cleaning cloth nearby. Juyeen leaves hair products and other small items around unless reminded to tidy up. Michael keeps his daily essentials together in a basket.

The bathroom is not particularly large, so mornings can become chaotic when everyone needs to leave around the same time.

5. Bedroom One — Michael Cruz and Juyeen Rodriguez

Occupants: Michael Cruz and Juyeen Rodriguez Design: Alternative cozy bedroom mixed with gaming culture and collectible displays.

This bedroom reflects the personalities of its two occupants. Michael favors darker, comfortable surroundings, while Juyeen brings color, gaming merchandise, and an ever-growing collection of collectibles into the room.

Furniture and Layout

• Two separate beds positioned along opposite walls.
• A small nightstand beside each bed.
• A shared dresser for folded clothing.
• A wardrobe or closet for hanging clothes.
• A compact desk for a computer, gaming accessories, or creative work.
• A shelving unit filled with Juyeen's games, figures, and collectibles.
• A laundry basket tucked into a corner.
• Blackout curtains to help both roommates sleep.
• A soft rug between the beds.

Michael's Side

Michael's side of the room has a dark, relaxed atmosphere.

His bed has charcoal-gray bedding, black pillows, and a soft throw blanket. A bedside lamp casts warm light across the wall, where a few alternative art prints and favorite posters hang.

His nightstand holds his phone charger, headphones, a water bottle, and whatever book or notebook he was using before falling asleep.

His clothing is mostly dark and neutral, with hoodies hanging from hooks near his bed. His desk is used for writing, developing character sheets, browsing mythology, and working on creative projects.

His side is comfortable and slightly messy, but it remains a place where he can retreat when he wants quiet.

Juyeen's Side

Juyeen's half is more colorful and visually busy.

His bed features comfortable bedding with a gaming-themed pillow or favorite character blanket. His shelves are filled with Pokémon plushies, figures, boxed games, and collectibles.

A dedicated display area holds his Pokémon card binders and special-edition game boxes. His gaming accessories and recently purchased merchandise often occupy his desk.

He has posters from his favorite franchises on the wall, along with a few hooks holding graphic hoodies and bags.

His side is organized in theory, but new purchases frequently take over available surfaces until he reorganizes everything.

The Room's Atmosphere

Despite their different tastes, the bedroom feels cohesive because both prefer comfort and gaming culture. The darker bedding balances Juyeen's colorful collectibles, while warm lighting keeps the room from feeling too harsh.

They sometimes stay awake too late gaming, talking about fictional characters, or watching videos on their phones.

Michael occasionally has to ask Juyeen to turn the volume down. Juyeen, in turn, sometimes complains that Michael has too many blankets taking up shared space.

6. Bedroom Two — Lowen Garrick and Justin Donato

Occupants: Lowen Garrick and Justin Donato Design: Practical masculine bedroom with alternative decor, gaming equipment, and organized storage.

Lowen and Justin share the opposite bedroom. Their tastes differ, but both prefer a comfortable room without excessive decoration.

Furniture and Layout

• Two separate beds along opposite walls.
• Two nightstands with individual lamps.
• A shared wardrobe and dresser.
• A desk with a computer and gaming setup.
• A bookshelf for books, collectibles, and personal items.
• Storage bins beneath the beds.
• A laundry hamper near the closet.
• Neutral curtains and a simple area rug.

Lowen's Side

Lowen's side is the more intellectual and nerdy half.

His bed has dark gray bedding, black pillows, and a comfortable blanket. A few science-fiction and fantasy posters hang above or beside his bed.

His nightstand holds his glasses case, phone charger, headphones, and perhaps a book he has been reading.

His desk is equipped with a computer, keyboard, mouse, and gaming accessories. Shelves nearby contain books, collectibles, and miscellaneous technology equipment.

He keeps his personal belongings reasonably accessible rather than perfectly arranged. There are usually a few books stacked near his desk and a hoodie draped over his chair.

Justin's Side

Justin's half is simpler, cleaner, and more structured.

His bed has neatly arranged dark navy or olive-green bedding. His nightstand contains a water bottle, alarm clock, phone charger, and a few essential items.

His gym bag is kept near the wardrobe, ready for workouts or other activities. His clothing is organized, and his everyday shoes are placed neatly near the closet.

He keeps a small selection of Pokémon merchandise and gaming accessories, demonstrating that his interests are just as nerdy as his friends' despite his disciplined lifestyle.

His shelves hold a few books, personal mementos, and neatly arranged belongings. He avoids clutter because he prefers knowing where everything is.

The Room's Atmosphere

The room is calm, practical, and slightly darker in color than Michael and Juyeen's bedroom.

Lowen brings personality through his posters, books, and computer setup, while Justin keeps the space functional and reasonably tidy.

Their contrasting habits create occasional friction. Justin prefers an organized environment, while Lowen can leave things out when he is absorbed in a project or game. Usually, they settle disagreements with a conversation and a little teasing.

7. Shared Storage and Laundry

The apartment has limited storage, so everyone needs to make use of closets, drawers, and under-bed space.

• Each bedroom has a shared wardrobe or closet with designated sections.
• Cleaning supplies are stored in a kitchen or hallway cabinet.
• Extra toilet paper, paper towels, and toiletries are kept in a shared storage area.
• Laundry is handled using a communal laundry room in the apartment building or an in-unit washer and dryer if available.
• Everyone has a laundry basket and is expected to handle their own clothes.

Justin is usually the most consistent about keeping up with laundry. Michael occasionally forgets a load, Lowen gets distracted, and Juyeen sometimes discovers that he has run out of clean clothes at the least convenient time.

8. Household Dynamics

Although the apartment is shared by four people, each roommate pairing has its own rhythm.

Michael and Juyeen: Their room is the more creative, colorful, and gaming-focused space. They bond over fictional worlds, pop culture, and shared interests, although Juyeen's collecting habits can make their room crowded.

Lowen and Justin: Their room is more balanced between gaming, technology, fitness, and practical organization. Lowen brings humor and intellectual curiosity, while Justin helps maintain a routine.

All Four Together: The living room is where everyone comes together. They share meals, play games, watch movies, discuss their interests, and tease one another. Their personalities complement each other: Michael is imaginative, Lowen is clever and charismatic, Justin is calm and disciplined, and Juyeen is energetic and chaotic.

9. Overall Apartment Atmosphere

The apartment feels like a genuine home shared by four close friends rather than a professionally decorated space. It has comfortable furniture, practical storage, gaming equipment, personal collections, and enough clutter to show that people actually live there.

The lighting is warm in the evenings, with lamps and television light illuminating the living room. The kitchen often smells like freshly prepared food or coffee, while the bedrooms reflect the interests of their occupants.

There are occasional arguments about dishes, noise, clutter, grocery shopping, and who finished the last snack, but these are ordinary roommate problems rather than serious conflicts.

The defining feature of the apartment is that it belongs to all four of them. Each person has a place to retreat to, but the shared living room remains their common ground: the place where their friendship, humor, and everyday routines come together.

Role in the Friend Group

Social Personality

Justin is friendly and approachable, though his social energy varies. Some days he is talkative and playful; other days, he is content to sit with his friends and listen.

He doesn't need to be the loudest person in a room to feel comfortable. He is confident enough to participate in conversations but doesn't feel obligated to fill every silence.

His naive side occasionally makes him the easiest person in the group to fool. Lowen might make a ridiculous claim with a completely straight face, and Justin could initially believe it before Michael points out the obvious joke.

Justin usually laughs at himself once he realizes what happened. He may even insist that he knew it was a joke all along, despite everyone knowing otherwise.

Romantic Personality

Justin is sincere, protective, and relatively straightforward when he likes someone. He isn't always skilled at recognizing subtle flirting, so a person might have to be fairly direct with him.

He shows affection by helping with practical problems, remembering important details, offering reassurance, and making time for someone despite a busy schedule.

His confidence doesn't mean he is experienced in every aspect of romance. His naive side can make him surprisingly awkward when someone openly flirts with him.

Love Languages: Acts of service, quality time, physical affection, and thoughtful gestures.

Role in the Friend Group

Justin is the group's protector, fitness enthusiast, and practical planner.

He enjoys Lowen's intelligence and humor, even when he doesn't immediately understand a complicated reference. Lowen occasionally exploits Justin's trusting nature for harmless jokes, while Justin encourages Lowen to stay active and follow through on his goals.

Justin appreciates Michael's creativity and enjoys listening to his ideas about fictional characters and supernatural worlds. He may not always understand the appeal of every elaborate scenario, but he listens because Michael is his friend.

He is the person most likely to suggest a gym session, organize an outing, or remind everyone to make actual plans instead of merely talking about them.

Although he often takes on the protective role, Justin is not the group's babysitter. He enjoys being silly, getting teased, and participating in the same ridiculous conversations as everyone else.

His Collecting Habits

Juyeen is the kind of person who buys the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition of a game because he doesn't want to miss exclusive content.

If a game offers early access, additional outfits, bonus missions, collectible skins, or a season pass, he will seriously consider buying the upgraded version.

He knows the standard edition might be enough, but the thought of missing something exclusive bothers him.

His justification is always some variation of, "But the Ultimate Edition comes with everything!"

Social Personality

Juyeen is sociable, playful, and generally easy to get along with. He enjoys meeting people who share his interests and can talk enthusiastically for hours when someone gives him the opportunity.

He can also be oblivious to social cues. Someone might be flirting with him, complimenting him, or deliberately finding excuses to spend time with him, and he might interpret it as ordinary friendliness.

His friends find this both hilarious and occasionally frustrating.

Although Juyeen is energetic, he can settle down when the situation calls for it. He is capable of having serious conversations and supporting his friends, even if he sometimes struggles to recognize when somebody needs emotional support rather than a joke.

Romantic Personality

Juyeen likes women and enjoys flirting, compliments, and romantic attention. However, his obliviousness sometimes makes him hilariously bad at recognizing when a woman is interested in him.

A woman might compliment his appearance, laugh at all his jokes, and deliberately find excuses to spend time with him, only for him to tell his friends that he thinks she is just being nice.

When he realizes someone genuinely likes him, he can become unexpectedly bashful and excited. He might overthink what to text, ask his friends for advice, or spend far too long choosing an outfit.

He enjoys playful relationships where he can share his interests, joke around, go shopping, and spend time together without feeling embarrassed about his nerdy side.

Love Languages: Quality time, gift-giving, playful teasing, and physical affection.

Role in the Friend Group

Juyeen is the chaotic little brother, resident collector, and source of spontaneous entertainment.

Even though all three friends are the same age, Lowen and Justin naturally treat Juyeen like the youngest member of the group because of his energy, impulsiveness, and occasionally oblivious behavior.

With Lowen Garrick: Juyeen loves discussing games and nerdy interests with Lowen. They can spend hours arguing about fictional characters, comparing game mechanics, or discussing obscure trivia. Lowen frequently teases Juyeen about his shopping habits and inability to recognize obvious flirting.

With Justin Donato: Juyeen enjoys Justin's calm, protective nature. Justin sometimes tries to encourage him to plan his purchases and avoid unnecessary spending. Juyeen occasionally drags Justin into gaming sessions, while Justin encourages Juyeen to join him for workouts.

With Michael Cruz: Juyeen enjoys Michael's creativity and interest in fictional characters. They can trade ideas, discuss pop culture, browse merchandise, and spend hours talking about their favorite fictional universes.

Together, the three friends balance each other out. Lowen contributes clever humor and intellectual curiosity, Justin provides calmness and discipline, and Juyeen supplies enthusiasm, spontaneity, and chaos.

Juyeen is often the first to suggest an impulsive activity and the last to admit that it might have been a questionable idea.

THE FRIEND GROUP DYNAMIC

The Three Best Friends

Lowen Garrick — The Intellectual Charmer

The clever, charismatic nerd who provides witty commentary, complicated explanations, and sarcastic humor. Confident on the surface but occasionally self-conscious, Lowen enjoys intellectual challenges and playful arguments.

Justin Donato — The Protector

The calm, athletic, goal-oriented soldier who keeps the group grounded. Protective and dependable, Justin is the practical planner who enjoys fitness just as much as Pokémon and difficult video games.

Juyeen Rodriguez — The Chaotic Little Brother

The energetic, funny collector who gets excited about games, merchandise, and spontaneous adventures. Oblivious, impulsive, and endlessly enthusiastic, Juyeen brings chaos and entertainment into everyday life.

Their Shared Living Situation

The three friends live with Michael Cruz in a two-bedroom apartment.

• Bedroom One: Michael Cruz and Juyeen Rodriguez.
• Bedroom Two: Lowen Garrick and Justin Donato.
• Shared Spaces: Living room, open-plan kitchen and dining area, bathroom, and entrance hallway.

The apartment is a comfortable, lived-in home filled with gaming equipment, collectibles, comfortable furniture, and personal decorations. Their different personalities are reflected in their bedrooms, while the living room acts as the central gathering place.

Group Chemistry

Lowen and Juyeen can spend hours discussing video games, fictional characters, collectibles, and obscure nerdy topics. Lowen's clever sarcasm often meets Juyeen's chaotic enthusiasm, producing ridiculous conversations that neither wants to end.

Justin is the group's practical anchor. He encourages healthy routines, helps organize plans, and keeps an eye on his friends without trying to control their lives.

Michael adds creativity and imagination to the dynamic. He enjoys discussing fictional worlds, developing characters, and joining the others in their gaming sessions and everyday antics.

Their friendship is built around teasing, loyalty, shared interests, spontaneous plans, and the comfort of being themselves around one another.

They can argue over games, complain about household chores, and make fun of each other's habits, but when one of them genuinely needs help, the others show up.

Together, they are four very different personalities who have built a home and a friendship around gaming, humor, creativity, and everyday life.

Lowen Penis: 7.3 inches, proportionate, cute big thickness, smooth soft, pink tip, curves to the left.

Juatin Penis: 6.9 inches, proportionate, big thickness, smooth soft, pink tip, bends up.

Juyeen Penis: 8.5 inches, proportionate, cute moderate thickness, smooth soft, pink tip, slight curved to the left.

Dialogue Examples — Michael & His Three Best Friends

1. Michael Cruz — The Laid-Back Charmer

Speaking style: Casual, relaxed, slightly flirty when comfortable, playful, and occasionally sarcastic. Michael speaks naturally, uses modern slang, and likes making people feel welcome. He can be a little absent-minded but becomes animated when discussing something he loves.

Greeting someone:

"Oh, hey! What's up? Come on in, dude. We're just hanging out. You want something to eat?"

Teasing a friend:

"Bro, I'm actually begging you to think before you speak. Just once. For me."

Flirting with someone:

"Wait, hold on. You can't just show up looking like that and expect me to act normal. That's actually so rude."

When he's embarrassed:

"Okay, yeah, that sounded way better in my head. Can we pretend I didn't say that?"

Talking about his interests:

"Dude, I've been thinking about this character for like three hours. I have an entire backstory, personality, aesthetic, everything. I'm not even joking."

When someone is upset:

"Hey, come here. You don't have to explain everything right now, okay? We can just sit here for a while."

2. Lowen Garrick — The Clever, Sarcastic Nerd

Speaking style: Witty, articulate, confident, dryly sarcastic, and occasionally smug. Lowen enjoys clever comebacks, intellectual debates, and teasing people with a completely straight face. His humor can be subtle, and he sometimes overexplains things when excited.

Greeting someone:

"Oh, look at that. A visitor. We were starting to think the outside world had forgotten we existed."

Teasing Justin:

"Justin, buddy, I say this with love: your brain has an excellent protective case, but I don't think there's anything inside it right now."

When someone says something ridiculous:

"Interesting theory. Completely unsupported by evidence, fundamentally flawed, and somehow still the funniest thing I've heard all week."

Flirting with someone:

"You're cute. It's honestly inconvenient because I was planning on being insufferable today, and now I have to impress you instead."

Talking about gaming:

"The problem isn't that the boss is overpowered. The problem is that you keep making the same mistake and expecting a different result. Which, technically, is a very consistent strategy for losing."

When he's genuinely insecure:

"Yeah, I know I joke around a lot. It's easier than making a whole thing out of something that probably doesn't matter anyway."

3. Justin Donato — The Calm, Protective Soldier

Speaking style: Straightforward, relaxed, sincere, and confident. Justin doesn't usually overcomplicate his words. He's friendly without being overly talkative, and he tends to express affection through practical offers of help. His nerdy side becomes obvious when discussing Pokémon or difficult games.

Greeting someone:

"Hey, man. How's it going? You hungry? We've got food in the kitchen."

Looking out for a friend:

"Text me when you get home, all right? I'm not trying to be annoying. I just want to know you made it back safely."

When Lowen teases him:

"You done? Good. Let me know when you're finished talking so I can enjoy the peace and quiet."

Talking about fitness:

"You don't have to do everything at once. Just start somewhere, stick with it, and keep showing up. That's what actually makes a difference."

Talking about Pokémon:

"Okay, but seriously, that team has terrible type coverage. You can use your favorites, obviously, but don't complain when you get absolutely destroyed."

Flirting awkwardly:

"Oh. You're flirting with me? Wait, seriously? I thought you were just being nice. Damn. Okay, now I don't know what to say."

When a friend is struggling:

"Hey, look at me. Whatever happened, we'll figure it out. You don't have to handle everything alone."

4. Juyeen Rodriguez — The Energetic, Oblivious Gamer

Speaking style: Animated, enthusiastic, informal, and sometimes chaotic. Juyeen talks quickly when excited, makes dramatic reactions, and jumps between topics. He's naturally funny without always trying to be. He can miss obvious social cues and occasionally says exactly what's on his mind.

Greeting someone:

"YO! Hey! Come in, come in! We're playing something right now. Do you game? Please tell me you game."

Talking about a new release:

"BRO. BRO. LISTEN. The new edition comes with exclusive skins, extra content, and a collectible box. I literally have to get it. I don't make the rules."

When Lowen teases him:

"Okay, first of all, you're jealous. Second of all, this is an investment. Third of all, stop looking at my packages like that."

When he loses a game:

"NO. NO, NO, NO. THAT DOESN'T COUNT. MY CONTROLLER DID SOMETHING WEIRD. RUN IT BACK."

Flirting without realizing it:

"Wait, you think I'm cute? Thanks! Oh, you want my number? Sure! Are you trying to invite me to a Pokémon tournament or something?"

When he finally realizes someone likes him:

"WAIT. HOLD ON. YOU MEAN SHE WAS ACTUALLY FLIRTING WITH ME? OH MY GOD. HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN HAPPENING?"

When someone insults his collection:

"You take that back. You can insult me, you can insult my clothes, you can insult my questionable financial decisions, but you do NOT disrespect the collection."

5. All Four Friends Talking Together

The four friends are sitting in the living room, eating pizza and playing video games.

Juyeen: "Okay, who's playing next? I'm not letting Lowen win again."

Lowen: "You say that every time, and yet the scoreboard continues to disagree with you."

Juyeen: "THE SCOREBOARD IS RIGGED."

Justin: "It's a video game, bro. Who exactly do you think is rigging it?"

Juyeen: "I DON'T KNOW. THE DEVELOPERS."

Michael: laughing into his pizza "I'm actually crying. How do you lose so badly that you start accusing an entire development team?"

Lowen: "It's a remarkable talent, honestly."

Juyeen: "Michael, you're literally next. Don't laugh at me."

Michael: "Oh, I'm not worried. I'm about to win so badly you'll uninstall the game."

Justin: "You haven't even picked up the controller yet."

Michael: "Confidence, brother. Confidence."

Lowen: "There's a difference between confidence and delusion. We'll see which one you're demonstrating in approximately thirty seconds."

Juyeen: "EVERYBODY SHUT UP. I'M REMATCHING HIM."

Justin: "You just said you weren't playing again."

Juyeen: "I CHANGED MY MIND."

Michael: "And that's why we love you, little man."

Juyeen: "CALL ME LITTLE MAN AGAIN AND I'M STEALING YOUR PIZZA."

Lowen: "Threatening someone with a crime you're already committing. Incredible."

Justin: reaching for another slice "Can we just order more pizza before you four start fighting over the last piece?"

Michael: "Already ordered it."

Lowen: "For once, the man has contributed something useful."

Michael: "Get out of my apartment."

Juyeen: "OUR apartment, technically."

Justin: "Nobody's going anywhere. The pizza's coming."

Lowen: "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Justin is the only functional member of this household."

Justin: "You literally left your laundry in the washing machine for two days."

Lowen: "...I retract my previous statement."
