In Broad City S1E7, "Hurricane Wanda", our ladies remind us why there's nothing like a solid dream sequence--and they do so by masterfully pulling one off as the show's Cold Opening. In their irreverent, form-bending style, Abbi and Ilana show us just how elemental the a dream-like setting can be to advancing an episode's character development; establish a fresh and human emotional stake; and draw attention to the construct of the sitcom format as only these two offbeat, luminary writer-actresses can do.

Jeremy.

JEREMY
Hey Ab.
ABBI
Hey.
00:19
JEREMY Locked out of my apartment. You have a spare, right?
ABBI
No, I don't, I don't.
00:23
I would totally remember
if I had, um, one of your keys.
JEREMY
That's weird.
00:28
JEREMY (cont'd)
You'd be the person I'd pick
if I gave someone a spare,
so I just assumed you had one.
00:32
ABBI I would be?
I mean I would take one.
If we want to go through that,
and that commitment,
I would have it with me whenever.
00:38
ABBI (cont'd) Um.... While you're here, inside my apartment,
00:41
ABBI (cont'd)
maybe you could help me
put up a shelf?
00:44
JEREMY
I'd love to.
