Million Dollar Listing New York is back, along with its wretched cast of self-centered real estate brokers (minus Luis). First up, Ryan who says he wants to be even more closed off emotionally than he already is. "At the end of the day, you have to take care of yourself. And that's what I'm gonna do, f**k everyone," Ryan says. But, he also has a real girlfriend, Emilia! Wonder what she's like. Next, Frederik vows to work on his temper. Okay. Lastly, adorable, super energetic Luis has joined Frederik's firm. As for his new beginnings, "I want to be respected, not feared" says Luis, possibly the only normal person on this show.
Fredrik is on his way to a listing at the famous Apthorp on the Upper West Side. He meets up with real estate developer Ari to tour a 4,200-square foot, first-floor unit inside the building. For once, it's funny to watch Fredrik get berated, with Ari even yelling, "Pay attention!" at one point. Ari is not very fun. They sit down to discuss pricing and Ari and Frederik go back and forth in an intense power struggle for a while until they decide on $9.5M for the 4 bedroom duplex.
Ryan has a pitch for the penthouse listing at Young Woo's 200 11th Ave in Chelsea. He's super psyched because each apartment has its own garage. There's a car elevator, for god's sake. And it's super cool. "Let's pitch this b*tch," he says to his driver. The penthouse is a 3 bedroom 3.5 bath penthouse with something called a "sky vault." It's not quite done yet, as there are still 4 more weeks of construction. Ryan pitches his ideas, which include "helicopters" and a mumbo jumbo jumble of words about blockbusters. It doesn't even matter what he says, because the developer and Mr. Woo's rep want $23 million for the penthouse. That will be the most expensive sale in West Chelsea... ever. "Okay," Ryan says knowing very well that his , "Let's do it." He didn't really pitch this b*tch because he might have become said b*tch.
Cutie pie Luis is off to 353 Central Park West to meet Myra. His eyes are so sparkly. Okay, right, the apartment. Luis gets the apartment listing for $6 million, and then he learns the stipulation. He needs to work with Todd, Myra's son, who was the previous realtor on the listing and couldn't sell the place. Heck with it, Luis will still get a $135k commission even if he has to work with Todd. Is it just me or does this sound like the plot to the movie "Tommy Boy"?
