Natasha Lyonne had come from taping NBC’s “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on Wednesday, and was waiting for the cable guy in her lofty SoHo apartment.

“Today, the Internet is working, yesterday it wasn’t,” she said to the repairman from Time Warner Cable when he showed up at 9 p.m. “It costs me all this money in overages. It never ends. The whole thing is suspicious.”

Her longtime friends and former roommates Waris Ahluwalia and Lizzi Bougatsos sat on a sofa, looking mildly amused. Roxy Music played in the background.

The cable guy peered around the room and offered his diagnosis. “It could just be a bad modem,” he said.
