Quarantine for Two (2021)

[bunniefuu]

New details
today on the coronavirus.

Cases have been on the rise

over the past two weeks.

The Hospital Association

says the numbers are
cause for concern.

Are hospitals equipped

to handle this kind of disease?

The best
solution is social distancin.

The governor has issued

stay-at-home orders to stop
the virus from spreading.

♪ The city's asleep

♪ A silent ghost town

♪ The numbers keep climbing

♪ Panic is out

♪ The head keep on talking

♪ They're starting to shout

♪ The fear is contagious

♪ It feeds the meltdown

♪ I'm losing my
grip I'm slippin' ♪

♪ I'm trying to hold on

♪ I have my doubts

♪ I need a kickstart

Hey, Brian.

What time is the
team meeting again?

I heard it's in 20
minutes. Are you gonna make it?

Um...

yeah, I think I'll be there.

♪ I need a kickstart

♪ Need to find my way

♪ I know I'm losing it all
but I've still got my faith ♪

Hi, Mom.

Sorry, I had to disinfect
the phone first.

I had to call several
times. Where have you been?

Yeah. I know. It's
been a long day.

I just got off my shift.

Did you go somewhere?

No, I just left the
house for some groceries.

They finally had some
on the shelves for once.

I think people are
finally calming down.

Okay. Well,
I'll see you in a few.

Don't forget to log
into the company link

I sent in the email.

Yeah, yeah. All right,
I'll look it up beforehand.

Thanks for that.

Tell me you're eating healthy.

You can't work these
hours without good food.

Yep, I'm making a super
nutritious dinner as we spea.

Do you still have
the bread I made you?

It's here.

Um, you know how much I
love your homemade bread.

I'll be having the
last slice tonight.

Glad I could help.

All right. No problem, man.

Hey, before you go...

What was that?

Did you ever
get ahold of Kenzie?

Kenzie...

Kenzie who?

My sister.

Oh, right. Yeah, your sister.

No, I haven't yet, but I've
programmed her into my phone,

so it will happen eventually.

Why?

What else are you eating?

Mom?

I've gotta go.

Is that the microwave I hear?

Kenzie! Do you need me
to go shopping for you?

No, I don't need you
to go shopping for me.

You stay home. It's a
pandemic for crying out loud.

Your father says
this is just a bad flu.

Does she look
like you? Be honest.

How are we even
supposed meet, huh?

Wave at each other
from six feet apart?

Wimp.

Hey, I gotta run.

If you do get brave
enough to contact her,

let me know how it goes.

All right, man.
I'll see you in a bit.

Yeah, we'll see you, man.

You guys at least wearing
the masks I got you?

What masks?

In the package I
mailed like months ago.

I think I remember.

I'll check and see
if I can find them.

Where did I put them?

You said you were putting them

in the drawer by the bed
so you wouldn't lose them.

Well, we'll be fine.

I love you, Kenzie.

Love you too. Have a good day.

Now is not the
time to meet a woman.

No, please. Please, no.

Oh no!

No, please!

Oh, please do not text back.

No, no.

Who is this, question mark?

I hate me.

I so hate me right now.

Hey, it's Chase
Montgomery, period.

Sorry I accidentally
sent that to you.

No worries, period.

Do I know you, question mark?

Not officially, no.

But Brian gave me
your number last week

and I haven't said hello yet.

And are you mad about
something, question mark.

I'm more embarrassed
than mad, comma.

I honestly don't know
how I sent that, period.

I was looking at Brain's text

and I set my phone down and...

it, period, just,
period, happened, period.

I, comma, also,
comma, have a habit

of accidentally sending
inappropriate emojis, period.

Like when someone says
their dog dies, comma,

I send a laughing emoji,
period, or the wink one, period.

It is so mortifying, period.

Okay that's funny!

Except when it's not, period.

Hey, I have a meeting in
about 10 minutes, period.

Do you mind if I video
chat with you afterwards,

question mark.

Are you busy, question Mark.

Video chat, question mark.

Okay, period.

Great.

Thanks for...

being chill.

Oh, be chill.

What am I doing? He's
not gonna smell me.

There you are!

Hi!

Hello!

Your meeting was a lot shortr
than I thought it'd be.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We try to keep our
meeting short these days.

It's a lot harder to
pretend like you're awake

in an online meeting.

Everyone's staring right at you.

Oh, I wish.

I'm an essential employee,

so we still have our
meetings in person,

just six feet apart.

That's insane.

This whole thing is insane.

So, how do you know
my brother Brian?

Has he not said
anything about me to you?

Um, no.

I didn't even know
you had my number.

Uh, yeah.

Again, sorry about that earlier.

It was-

- No, I told you, I do the
same thing all the time.

It is the worst.

It really is.

And then there's no
going back after it.

None. Just you and
pure mortification.

So have you really
sent wink emojis

to people who announced deaths,

or were you just saying
that to make me feel better?

No, that's all me, and
I've done it more than once.

How many times?

A year? Probably five.

Okay. Now that's just funny!

No, it is so awkward!
You have no idea.

Hm, I'm thinking I do
have a bit of an idea.

I mean, come on.

How many beautiful women
get random angry face texts

from numbers they don't know?

I couldn't guess.

Well, you're the first for me.

Although I'm glad I sent it now.

You just made this
pandemic a lot more fun.

Oh really?

Yeah.

So...

I'm Kenzie, Brian's
younger sister.

And I'm Chase, his coworker.

And sometimes partner in crime.

We're on the same
design team a lot.

Cool.

What's it like to
work with my brother?

Good. Yeah, he's a great guy.

Although suddenly
I'm finding myself

more interested in
getting to know you.

What do you do? Why
are you so essential?

I work at a nursing home.

So the old people kind
of need me. It's a thing.

Nice.

And yet you are home at 5:00?

Yeah. Normally
I'm off at noon.

I work 4:00 to noon, but
today we had a death,

so it was a little bit later.

Oh, oh.

COVID?

Yeah.

It was hard, but we
kind of expected it.

His daughter, before we
shut down completely,

brought it with her
on a visit, and...

She's since recovered. He
suffered nearly three weeks.

Oh, man.

You've actually known
someone who has it.

Yeah.

A few.

I kind of thought it might
have been a myth, you know?

Right, I get it.

But no, it's real here.

Any-who...

I didn't mean to be a downer.

No, it's fine.

As crass as it sounds,

I've seen a lot of death
in my line of work.

Yeah, I bet you have.

But you still smile.

I've got plenty
to smile about.

I have a job.

I have my health.

And I'm talking
to you right now.

Good one.

So would you...

like to talk to me more?

I mean, have I scared you off?

Not at all.

I mean, yes, I would
like to chat more.

Okay.

It's a deal.

Let's do this crazy thing.

In the middle of the pandemic.

It is pretty bizarre.

But fun, no?

Yeah.

Maybe, yeah.

It was good
seeing you, Kenzie.

Thank you, Chase.

Let's do it again sometime.

Okay.

Have a good day.

You too.

Whew!

Hello?

Brian!

You didn't tell me
your sister was hot!

Dude!

A little heads-up
would have been nice.

Uh, she's my sister.

No way.

I can't bring the virus
back to work, period.

I have to social
distance, period.

Sorry.

You're right. My bad, period.

I keep forgetting
the world is ending.

But I would still like
to get to know you more.

Kinda hard.

It is.

But maybe I can come
up with something.

What, question mark.

Shh. I'm thinking, period.

Give me a minute

and I'll come up with
something brilliant.

If you say so, period.

Burn, exclamation mark.

You mock now.

That meant to be
"now", not "cow".

Nevermind.

Hello?

I figured it out.

In fact, I made a whole list.

Of what?

Social distancing dates.

You made a list of
dates we can go on?

Yup, and you're gonna love it.

Text me your email.

I'm gonna send them over to you,

and you can pick one,
and we can go from there.

You want me to pick a date?

Yeah!

And then it'll be my turn next.

You're not gonna send my email

to some Nigerian
Prince, are you?

Dang it!

I had such high hopes.

$4,000 was waiting for me
if I could only fool you.

I knew it.

No, come on. I've been
working on this all day.

Okay, okay.

Let's see.

Let me see what I'm
getting myself into.

Okay, this is
pretty much amazing.

Do you like it?

I love it.

I can't believe, d-

Did you really come up
with all of these today?

Yeah.

Actually, it was
easier than you think.

Once I started it,
they came pretty quick.

And you did all of this
so you could get to know me.

Well, yeah.

I mean, that and 4,000
from Nigerian royalty

Chase...

This is pretty much the sweetest
thing anyone's ever done.

Thank you.

So what do you say?

What do you want to do first?

All of them.

Oh, come on.

You gotta start with one.

Okay.

Let's start with an easy one.

Play a virtual
board game together.

Okay. Awesome.

What do you like to play?

Now?

As in, we're having
this date now?

I mean, I'm just
hanging out at my place.

What are you doing?

Dumb days quarantine inferno.

See?

Now's better than not, right?

I just would like to
look a little nicer.

Pssh!

Oh, I'm sure you look just fine.

Also. I turn into a
pumpkin at 8:00 p.m.

So...

I have to be work at 4:00.

Well, it is 5:30 now.

Let's
meet back at 6:00?

And we can play
for a couple hours.

How does that sound?

I will take what I can get.

Hi, Mom.

I can't really talk right now.

I've got a date in 30 minutes.

What?

Why would you do
that to yourself?

Aren't you in quarantine?

It's not a real date.

We're playing a board
game together online.

This is a blind internet date?

How do you know he won't become

a vicious stalker or something?

You need to be very careful.

I know.

I know, Mom.

I'll be cautious.

How can you be ready

to put yourself out
there like this?

I'm not ready.

However, I am bored
out of my mind.

And he makes me laugh.

So maybe laughing is
good for me, you know?

I don't think you realize
how hard this has been.

For me, for your dad.

I mean, just the thought
of you dating again.

I don't know if
we can handle it.

Mom, it's been hard
on everyone, okay?

But this is just one
date. That's all it is.

I love you, but this is
exactly what I'm talking about.

I love you too.

I gotta go.

Very well.

Bye.

Just give me one minute.

Okay.

Whew!

Okay! I'm here.

Just to have to get
something to eat real quick.

Wow, that was quick.

Yep.

Life in the nursing home has
prepared me for everything.

I bet.

Although, you should
have said something.

I brought enough
snacks to share.

Right! What was I thinking?

Wait, are those carrots I see?

Well, you know, I
had to make it look

like I wasn't a
complete heathen.

I would never judge you.

Good.

However, I am totally jealous.

I'll wait while
you go grab some.

Yeah, it'd be nice if I
have carrots in my fridge,

or any fresh fruit or veggies.

I've been a slacker
as to shopping lately.

Scared of it that bad, huh?

Something like that.

Well, we only have two hours,

so I was wondering if
you would like to lose

to a mad game of checkers.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Are you implying that I
am going to lose to you?

You do know, I
kicked Brian's trash

like at least 20 times!

Well, you've never
played with Chase the Ace.

Chase the what?

Ace.

Don't worry, it'll grow on you.

I'm not worried,
'cause that ace

is going is flatten your face.

Oh, bring it on, princess!

Princess?

Give me a break! I am so
much more than a princess!

And you...

are going down.

This is gonna be fun.

For me.

Okay...

ladies first.

Thank you.

What!

Okay, you've gonna
be cheating somehow.

I'm not cheating!

How could someone cheat
on a digital game?

Okay.

Let's go again.

I'm gonna win!

Again.

Ah!

Third try!

You are not gonna
see this one coming.

Bring it on.

That's not funny.

Woo!

Dang it!

Okay, miss pumpkin.
I should let you go.

Is that the time? How?

I don't know.

I wouldn't believe
it either, except...

I'm all out of snacks.

We've been playing
nearly three hours?

I demand a rematch by the way.

It's statistically impossible

that you would
b*at me that much.

I'm not actually sure you've
ever played this game before.

Whatever! it was
just an off night.

I see.

Sure, I'll take your rematch.

Is that your way of
asking me out again?

Oh, we're going out again.
That's already happening.

This is just a way
for me to recover

what's left of my fragile ego.

I had a really
great time tonight.

So did I.

Goodnight, Kenzie.

Right.

And thank you for
a wonderful evening.

Goodnight.

Oh!

Why in the world am I
such a freak of nature?

Could there be adorable
person on this planet?

Are you here?

Are kidding me?
How sweet are you?

I didn't know what
your favorites were,

so I got a little
bit of everything.

I have red bell peppers and...

cabbage and carrots,
like everything!

Did you see the fruit?

I love little clementines.

And apples and strawberries?

Oh my goodness, I'm gonna cry.

Surprise.

Happy quarantine.

This is the happiest
Quarantine Day ever.

It wasn't meeting me?

But really, Kenzie, if you need
anything, just let me know.

How much do I
owe you for these?

Nothing!

I don't buy a bunch of
stuff you know nothing about

and expect you to pay for it.

Well, when you
put it that way.

However, I am totally fine

picking up stuff for
you every now and then.

That I pay you for, right?

Of course.

I could be your
personal shopper.

Eh, that sounds so...

Awesome?

Look, I'm bored out of my mind.

And this is something
that would be easy for me.

Well, thank you.

I might take you up
on it at some point,

but it won't be
for a little while.

I'm pretty well stocked.

You're welcome.

I'm glad you enjoyed
your surprise.

Yeah. It was very thoughtful.

Great.

Now, at the bottom of your box

you should find a bag of
jasmine rice and some soy sauce.

Found them.

I was thinking
for tonight's date

we could do our own
live cooking show.

Do you like stir fry?

I love it!

I'm thinking
asparagus stir fry

with red bell peppers,
carrots, and cabbage over rice.

Wow. That sounds perfect.

Does 5:00 work for you?

It does.

But you...

need to send me your
address, please.

I might want to surprise you
with something at some point.

Fine, I will text
it to you right now,

but please don't egg my house.

Yeah...

Are there even eggs
in the stores now?

Good point.

Hey, Dad. What's up?

Good. You okay?

Everything's great here.

Just enjoying the
grind from home.

I'm glad to hear it.

Yep. Keeping busy.

So you have a minute to talk.

There's something I really need-

- Hey, Dad...

I got a meeting in a few.

Could I call you back later?

Sure, sure. No problem.

I love you, son.

Great, yeah. It's
good to hear from you.

Love you too.

What do I do if
my rice starts to boil over?

Have you made rice before?

Just the instant kind.

You probably have
the heat up too high.

Just turn it down a bit.

Make sure it's still
simmering though.

Do not forget
about the stir fry.

The trick to it is you
gotta keep stirring it.

Ah! Okay.

Now what?

Go ahead and
taste your carrots.

If they're tender, then you
want to add the asparagus,

then the cabbage.

Oh!

Gonna use the cabbage that
we cut up earlier, right?

Yup. Should be right there.

But first the asparagus.

Okay.

You're doing great.

Done.

Okay.

Now you will want
to add the cabbage.

I feel so professional.

I love it!

Me too.

Hey, I'm going to add a bit
more garlic powder to mine.

I don't think I had enough.

Taste yours, see if you
need to add something else.

Maybe a bit more soy sauce.

But, man, this tastes good.

All right.

Do you have your plate?

Yup, right here!

Your rice should be done soon.

Go ahead and check it.

Okay.

I did it! I did it!

It looks perfect!

Look!

All right.

I think mine is done.

Yup.

I can't even tell you
how good this smells.

What are the chances
it smells like mine?

You look good in an
apron, by the way.

Well hello there,
beautiful lady.

Thank you for sharing
this meal with me.

I can't believe how
flustered you make me.

Why's that?

I don't know.

I feel like I'm in
high school again.

I'm gonna take
that as a compliment.

It was meant as an insult, so...

Oh! Good to know.

So, verdict?

Yeah, the food is fantastic!

It is so tasty.

If this works out, you
gotta let me cook for you.

I'll come make you
my specialty pizza.

Maybe.

We'll see.

That wasn't a no.

I'm gonna take it as a yes.

Just for curiosity's sake,
what is your specialty pizza?

I should warn
you, I'm a monster.

I believe pineapple
was made for pizza.

Oh! You're one
of those people.

And proud of it.

I have never actually
tried it, so I wouldn't know.

What?

Oh! Ham, pineapple
and black olives

are the trifecta
to a perfect pizza.

With red pepper flakes.

Marry me.

Red pepper flakes are
essential to a pizza.

I think you're really
gonna like pineapple.

Okay.

Okay, I promise
I'll try it one day.

If it brings out a
marriage proposal,

it must be something special.

So, tell me something about you.

Oof. Anything?

Where'd you learn to cook?

My mom.

I would love to say my dad
and break the stereotype,

but no, it was my mom.

She loved the kitchen

and brought me in
as her sous chef.

Taught me to love it too.

I wish.

My mom worked too much to hae
extra time in the kitchen.

Any siblings?

Ugh, three older sisters.

Whoa!

What was that like?

Having just my older
brother was enough.

I can't imagine having more.

It was odd at times.

I was basically their
human baby doll.

Oh, actually I could see that.

Did they dress you up.

Yes.

In like...

Dresses? Yes.

Everything.

Every Halloween costume,
every play dress they had.

Every action hero princess.

Yes.

So are there pictures?

No, not until I
get to cook for you.

Okay, fine.

I guess I can wait for that.

To earn it.

I like having sisters
now though, if that helps.

Yeah. You guys close?

Well, I am the
favorite uncle, so...

Oh, I bet.

Do you bring the kids candy?

Oh, dude, I spoil them
hard, intentionally.

I know bribery
works on children,

and you should see them
lose their little minds

when I pull up.

Everyone thinks they're cute
and adorable and love me,

but no, I bring a bag of
candy, and I slip them pieces

and tell them if anybody fins
out, I'm cuttin' them off.

No you don't!

I so do.

Wait, so the kids
come running up,

screaming, "Chase! Chase!"

all for you to slip candy ino
their greedy little hands?

I have mastered the art
of the candy giving hug.

And no one's figured it out?

Kids are smart.

They're not about to
mess up a good thing.

You face lights up
when you talk about 'em.

Does it?

They're so fun.

I've got six nieces and nephews
and another one on the way.

Do you miss 'em?

During this
quarantine scam? Yeah.

I can't imagine how hard
it must be for the kids,

not being able to have
the parties they planned.

Yeah, it's tough.

So what about you?
What's your family like?

Well...

It's complicated.

Oh?

Yeah, let's just say I enjoy
watching other families work.

What about Brian?

We needed each
other a lot as kids.

In some ways that's still true.

You don't get along
with your parents.

We function.

I don't know if we function
well, but we are what we are.

I think all families
feel like that at times.

Yeah, maybe.

I have to say, I
am very impressed.

Who knew social distancing
could be this fun?

And we got to have
dinner together.

And I learned a new skill.

Rice.

Thank you again for
being a good sport.

So, next time is my turn?

Mm! There's gonna
be a next time?

I like where this is headed.

Yes. It's your choice.

Okay.

I will take a look at the lit
and let you know tomorrow.

There's a lot of
ideas I want to try.

I just have to narrow it down.

Hey, I got all the
time in the world.

We can go on as many
dates as you like.

I will remember that.

Again, thank you.

And especially thank
you for my surprise

and all that amazing food.

See you tomorrow, Kenzie.

Hey, Dad.

Sorry I didn't call earlier.

What's up?

Did you need something?

Yes.

Actually, your mom's taken
a turn for the worse.

We had to go to the hospital.

What was that?

Hold on, slow down
a bit. Mom did what?

Her breathing got really
bad a couple of hours ago,

and I finally took her in.

She was tested for COVID.

Okay. How long
until we find out?

Up to four days.

Are you kidding me?

Okay, so the hospital's
holding her, then?

It gets worse.

The doctors are saying she's
only got a 10% survival rate.

Her breathing isn't even strong
enough to talk on the phone.

Hey, you.

What's up?

Calling to repent

Of?

Not taking the
stupid virus thing.

That sounds ominous.

Yeah, it is a little.

You want to talk about it?

No.

I just feel like I'm going
insane stuck in this house!

Chase, are you okay?

I don't know.

I'm struggling.

I can tell.

My mom was rushed to
the hospital last night

during our date.

Oh.

Chase, I'm so sorry.

They tested her for COVID,

but it could take
up to four days

for us to get the results back.

Is she okay?

I don't know.

She's not allowed any visitors,

and my dad said her
breathing's so bad right now,

he doesn't want any
of us to call her.

Wait, what?

Just...

I'm regretting everything
I said about this plague,

and I just want it gone now.

So I'm repenting.

I was wrong.

You were right.

I never said anything about-

- No, but I have, an
for that I'm sorry.

I just wish this
whole thing was over

and we could go back
to when life was sane.

The good old days.

Exactly.

Yeah, one thing's for sure.

This pandemic has made
me question everything.

Yeah, in a weird
you've only got one life,

and am I living it
the way I dreamed way.

Yes.

What if there's no tomorrow?

Am I prepared for that outcome?

Okay, no. Let's talk about
something else, please.

Right. Sorry.

So...

are you calling to vent?

'Cause you are definitely
welcome to do that.

Or do you need a distraction?

Vent or distraction. That's
a tough call right now.

Chase, you're
really not doing well.

How is your mom other
than the breathing?

Well, she recovered from
lung cancer two years ago,

so there's that.

Oh, that's not good.

Nope.

And no visitors?

Nope.

Okay.

You need a distraction.

Give me 15 minutes and
turn on your video chat.

What?

Look, I'm usually up for
any type of distraction

but is that really
called for right now?

You dork, get your
mind out of the gutter.

But just give me a second, okay?

All right, fine.

Hi!

I need to place an order.

Delivery or carryout?

Yeah, it needs to go to
two different addresses.

Is that okay?

No problem.

Can I get your name
and phone number?

Hey, you!

How's it goin'?

Are you ready to be distracted?

I think I already am.

Behold.

Your distraction!

Huh.

I thought it'd be more
shiny or something.

Whatever.

This is amazing. You
just don't know it yet.

Then by all means, amaze me.

This bag was given to me

by an adorable
eight-year-old girl

who was visiting her
great-grandfather

about three months ago.

Mm, I see.

Well, it's definitely
full of magic, then.

Precisely.

It's a game, and
the particular kind

that's intended to distract
you from hard things.

Let's do it.

Also, I have not
opened this before,

so there is no advantage.

Mm, yeah.

So you're basically telling me

that you're gonna cheat again.

Sore loser.

Now, are you ready
to lose again?

You are so lucky there's
this distance between us,

because if not, I would
kiss that smug look

right off your face.

You wouldn't dare.

Try me.

Anyway, this is a...

scavenger hunt, and
the first person

who gets back with
their item wins.

What item?

The one it says to find.

Okay, yeah, I think I get it.

Also, you have to pick
a new item every time.

You can't choose the same thing.

Let's go.

We have to find something
that is shaped like a triangle.

Woo! I'm back, I'm back!

Oh, no!

Boom, triangle.

Um, that is folded!

It has to actually be
shaped like a triangle.

True. Fine.

All right, one point Kenzie.

Let's go again!

Woo! Somethin' sharp.

Ha! I didn't even
have to leave the room.

Wait.

Why didn't I think of that?

You gotta be quicker
than the master.

The master of what?

Uh...

I'll let you know.

Something that hides things.

Ha!

Ooh, I've been looking for that.

Two, one. Chase is winning.

Something teal.

Whi-cha!

Something expensive.

Ha!

Ha ha!

I said something expensive.

Do you have any idea

what the street value
of this is right now?

Ug!

Okay, you're right. You win.

Something glittery.

Something that cuts thing.

Not bad.

But...

I'm clearly winning.

Well, I have to
lose sometimes,

or I would never hear
the end of your whining.

Oh, is that so?

You are by far the most
amusing distraction

I have ever known.

Thank you.

Hang on, someone's at my door.

Look what was left
on my doorstep!

Is that pizza I smell?

And it's my favorite flavor!

Oh, someone's at my door.

I knew you had something
to do with my date.

My date, my rules.

Now let's see if this
is as good as you claim.

Oh, it's better.
Just you wait.

And?

Mm!

Who knew pineapple was
this good on pizza?

Um, only thousands of
Canadians and Americans.

Where have you been?

Canadians? Whatever.

No, seriously. This was
invented by a guy in Canada.

So, I don't know if
this is my favorite.

I really like artichoke hearts.

But this is really good.

See, now, artichokes
I'll have to try?

With mushrooms, it's the best.

And red pepper flake.

Always.

You know, I couldn't eat
earlier, and now I'm starvin.

I kind of figured that.

So, tell me something
about your mom

other than loving to cook.

Well...

she's feisty.

I'm pretty sure she can
take one look at Coronavirus

and punch it in the throat.

Then I won't worry about her.

She'd also gave you
the last piece of bread

in the cupboard and
go hungry herself.

Wow.

She loves to give.

I'd love to meet her sometime.

I think she'd like you.

Really?

You'd make her laugh.

And laughter as what
she calls good medicine.

It's not good. It's the best.

Hey...

I just got a text from my dad.

Said my mom's breathing
stabilized enough

that she wants to talk.

Go, go.

She's way more
important than me.

Thanks.

And thank you for
making me laugh.

I needed it.

Yeah, it was fun. Thank you.

♪ Did my wild horses leave me

♪ Leave me

♪ One thing I did not see

♪ Just me and my sight

Hi, Mom.

I'm heading to
the store in a moment.

Need some groceries?

No, I don't need you
to get groceries for me.

I actually had a friend
pick some up the other day.

A friend?

The friend I went
on the date with.

A male friend.

Yes, a male friend.

I'm just wondering
if you even remember

or think of Tanner
at all anymore.

Of course I still
think of Tanner.

It was three years of my life.

Well it sure
doesn't sound like it to me.

For the record...

I actually have a picture
of him in my bedroom.

That's actually reassuring.

Yeah, I'm not
completely hopeless, am I?

Do you remember that time

when we all went to
Yellowstone together

and we couldn't stop laughing?

Yeah. Tanner was hilarious.

Those skits he
did around that bonfire?

I don't think I've
left out hard to since.

Do you remember-

- Mom, I can't do this.

I'm sorry, I just can't.

It's still too soon, dear.

No, it's not too soon.

I don't even cry anymore.

I just need to move on.

Well, if you
hadn't caused that crash,

we wouldn't be here, would we?

I know...

I'm a failure in a lot
of areas of my life...

but I don't need to be reminded.

You know I love you.

This is just hard.

I gotta go.

Hey, stranger!

Hey, Chase.

Oh.

Hey, Sarah. What's up?

The results came back
for Mom, and it's not good.

So she has it, then?

Yes, she has to be
in quarantine for a while.

No visitors.

Okay.

They didn't
even allow your delivery.

Wait, she didn't get
the flowers I sent?

They aren't
allowing outside deliveries

of any kind.

They're not even
letting the delivery...

This is just ridiculous now.

Do you want
me to send them back?

No, it's it's fine.

At least you got them.

Chase, I can't keep them.

Right, sorry. I
forgot you're allergic.

Okay, I will swing
by and get them.

Just leave them on the doorstep.

Come by later?

No, I'm leaving now.

Love you, Chase.

Love you too.

What time...

is it?

I slept six hours.

Hey, Chase.

Hi!

You feel better?

Not really.

You know when you
sleep too long?

Oh, yeah. I've been there.

When you wake up, you don't
even know what day it is.

Yeah, I sort of freaked
out when I woke up.

Oh, look at all this
beautiful food in my fridge.

Hey, mine's got some too!

I think I'll make a salad.

Courtesy of this
hunky guy I know.

Hunky?

I like hunky.

Oh, you would.

So what did you do today?

Got back from work.

Cleaned the balcony.

Talked to my mom

and pretty much cried
myself to sleep.

I'm sorry...

What was that last part?

Talked to my mom.

No, after that.

Did you say you cried
yourself to sleep?

Maybe.

But sometimes I overshare,

So don't put too much
weight into what I say.

And why would you cry
yourself into a six-hour nap?

Chase, are we there yet?

Are we really at that
point in our relationship

where the random secrets
just start spilling out?

Are we surviving a pandemic
with the world in crisis?

I feel like the word floating

might be more accurate
than surviving.

Especially on a day like
today, it's like I'm just...

floating through the experience.

Unless you're
so upset, you cry.

This one really hurts.

I don't know if you're ready
for it. I don't think I am.

Happened two years ago.

Fair enough.

But I wish I was there.

Yeah, I wish you were too.

Oh, have you been outside yet?

No.

Why?

Stop whatever you're doing
and go to your front door.

Okay...

Why?

Don't act all
suspicious. Just do it.

Chase! Did you drop these off?

A few hours ago.

I thought they
would cheer you up.

And how did you know
I needed cheering?

Okay, I didn't.

They were for my Mom, who
has Coronavirus by the way.

Oh, you found out today?

How is she?

Yeah...

I mean, I guess we already knew.

It just made it official.

But my dad thinks that, now
that she's on the ventilator,

she's doing much better.

Well, that's good.

I'm really sorry about
the no visitors thing.

I know that's a pain.

Yeah, apparently
no flowers either.

It's frustrating but...

if it will keep her
safe, it's worth it.

Well, maybe I'll just keep
them safe until she gets hom.

No, no, no. You
hang onto those.

I'll buy my mom a bunch more

when she gets out
of the hospital.

That sounds good.

Why don't I buy a
bouquet for her as well?

So did it work?

Are you feeling better?

Strangely, yes.

You ready to talk?

Now we're back to me.

Okay.

So, I was married before.

Oh.

And Tanner...

was my mom's favorite.

I really think she wanted
him to be her real child,

not me or Brian.

OH, come on.
That can't be true.

You'd think that.

But the man was perfect.

He was happy and helpful
and always holding doors.

He'd stay up late
playing cards with her.

Remembered her birthday.

He always took
her out to dinner.

Wow.

Yeah.

For three years it's like a...

a mom, like I had a
living, loving mom.

Can I ask what happened?

Yeah.

Just a sec.

Take all the time you need.

I was driving.

When the drunk driver came
into our lane, I swerved,

but not fast enough.

Tanner's side got
most of the impact,

and he d*ed on the scene.

Kenzie...

I'm so sorry.

I wish I could have
done something more.

Swerved the other
way, hit the brakes.

I...

No, no, stop it.

You can't blame yourself
for something like that.

I can't?

My mom does.

Yep.

So anyway, she's upset that
we're sort of seeing each other.

Is that what this is?

Well...

technically I'm not seeing
you right at this second.

But...

Yeah, I'd say
that's what this is.

I think she wants me
to mourn him forever,

like she's doing

But it's been two years.

Wouldn't she want
you to move on?

You'd think.

Fair warning, my
mother has a habit

of ruining any
relationship I start,

and this happened way
before Tanner, so...

No, I don't think she
wants me to move on.

Then again, I don't have a
normal, functioning family.

I have guilt poured on
guilt with a side of guilt.

So, let me get this straight.

Your mom calls to remind you

of all the great
things Tanner did

and brings up that you
could have saved him

had you really want to?

Is that the gist?

Why?

Cried yourself to
sleep for six hours?

I'm sorry, Chase. This
is a lot to put on you.

I did ask for it.

No.

I didn't have to share.

All right, come with me.

We're going on a field trip.

We're going outside.

You have a balcony
or something, right?

Yeah.

Right now?

Yup.

Okay.

Let me grab a jacket.

Let me know when
you're outside.

I'm here.

Okay, good.

Now look up.

Can you see the stars?

A little bit?
There's a few of 'em.

Oh, man.

When this thing is over,

we're going on a drive
to the countryside

where you can really
see the stars.

That sounds nice.

The country, the stars.

You.

Chase, what if this
doesn't work out?

What if we take one look at
each other in person and...

and it's just not
there, you know?

Then it isn't.

That's what I'm afraid of.

No

You're afraid of
what will happen

when there is something there.

Am I?

That's the hard part
about falling in love.

The leap.

When it's real.

You are so poetic.

It could turn a girl's head.

Ha ha. You mock
now, but you'll see.

No, I mean it.

You have this incredible
philosophy on life,

this leap and see
if you get b*rned

but take the chance anyway.

How you do it?

How do I decide that the
risk is worth the fall?

Yeah.

Do you have a defining moment?

My best friend, Hayden.

What happened?

Well...

He ran off with my fiance.

Oh.

And all the money in
our business account.

The business that we
created just out of college.

A thriving, booming,
new-age tech company

that saw more clients than
we knew what to do with.

He and Angela left me
with all the bills,

all the debts, and all
the disappointment.

I was not expecting
to hear that.

Yeah.

Defining moments
aren't always pretty.

In fact, most of them happen
once you hit rock bottom

and have nowhere else to go.

And after all of that, you're
still willing to date again?

I'd hope so.

I hope I wouldn't be so jaded

to naturally assume every
woman would treat me the sam.

Did I scare you off?

No, I'm just thinking,
taking it all in.

Man...

Now I'm the one turning
into the pumpkin.

Would you forgive me
if I hung up soon?

Yeah, of course.

No, you go to bed.

I'm not sure if I'm going to
be able to sleep, but I'll try.

You should

We've got a hot
date tomorrow night.

Oh really?

After the last few days,

we need to do something
a lot less gloomy.

I agree.

Goodnight, Chase.

- Oh!
- Oh!

- Chase.
- Hi!

I...

I'm sorry.

I did not know you were...

Holy crap!

You are even prettier in person.

Um...

Yeah, hello.

Hi.

I'm not leaving.
Don't ask me to leave.

I can't. We can't.

Can we just go to the park?

And sit, and talk,
human to human?

I guess so.

Okay.

I have this for you.

I had a painting
night planned but...

Just, here, hang onto it,
save it for a rainy day.

I will take your trash
and take it out for you

and meet you downstairs.

Yeah.

Awesome. Great.

Gosh.

I cannot believe
you're really here,

that this is really happening.

Weren't we just
talking about this?

Yes.

When does this thing
get lifted again?

Like how many more weeks?

Oh, I don't know.

I think there were
a couple of states

that were lifted last month.

What?

Where? Let's go!

I think that
defeats the purpose.

Not when I want to kiss
you so bad right now.

Chase.

What?

Had this been a
real relationship

and we'd been on as
many dates as we have,

we would have kissed by now.

Are you sure about that?

Kenzie...

Yes?

Now is not the time
for smug comments.

It is taking every
ounce of my control

to sit here and not
kiss your perfect face.

How do you know I
want to be kissed.

So, since our
paint date is out,

I was thinking we could
exchange embarrassing storie.

Oh, I'm not ready for that.

That's the best part
about embarrassing stories.

You're never ready for them.

I was really, really
awkward as a teenager.

Oh, it couldn't have
been any worse than me.

Doubt it.

In high school, I told
my friend Catherine

which guy on the
soccer team I liked.

Okay.

She literally
pushed me into him

as the team was jogging by.

Eight of them
fell on top of us!

And to make matters worse,

he thought I did it on purpose
and was really upset with me.

So you guys totally dated.

Yeah, no.

We never spoke again.

Okay, I once tripped over
a girl's dress at prom,

stepped on it with one foot,
tripped over with the other,

ripped the whole thing.

I still don't think she's
ever forgiven me for that.

Yeah, those dresses
are expensive.

I never lived it down.

How old were you when
you first kissed someone?

Um...

14.

Summer camp.

What about you?

17.

But it should have
been in when I was 15.

So, this guy met
me before school.

He'd practically
bathed in Scope.

So I knew he was
gonna try something.

But I didn't know the
etiquette or the technique.

So he's getting closer
and closer to my face,

and I'm looking
for words to say,

and I don't know what to say,
so I opened my mouth and I...

mooed like a cow.

I'm sorry, you...

mooed?

Yeah.

Okay, you win the
awkward contest.

Could I hear your moo?

No.

When can I see you again?

Tomorrow?

I mean, maybe not here, but
I'd love to talk tomorrow.

Done.

You're even more fun
to talk to in person.

So are you.

I'm surprised, actually.

About how well we work?

Yeah.

But for the record...

I...

wish I could kiss you too.

What?

Wait!

Let's take our chances!

No!

It'll happen, eventually.

That's okay.

Goodnight, Chase.

Talk to you later.

Goodnight.

Hey, Brian. Thanks
for calling me back.

So give me the skinny on Tanner.

I want to hear the good,
the bad, and the ugly.

Was Kenzie's husband really
as amazing as I hear?

Why you asking me?

You're her brother.

You're the only one who's
gonna tell me the truth.

So you know
those larger-than-life

Hallmark movie guys?

Yeah.

That was Tanner, practically
perfect in every way.

Wow. So he's the real deal.

Dude! How am I supposed
to measure up to that?

You like Kenzie, don't you?

Yeah, I do.

I like her a lot?

You've got it bad.

You think I have a chance?

If you can get
past my mom, yes, definitely.

Your mom? What does that mean?

Hi, Mom.

Are you still
seeing Chase Montgomery?

Yes, I am. Why?

You have no idea who he is!

What do you mean?

I bet he's never even told you

about his failed business
and the thousands he owes!

I know about his
first business.

But why do you know about
it? Did you Google him?

You promised you
wouldn't do that anymore.

This is fraud, Kenzi!
You have to listen to me.

Look, his business partner
left him with nothing,

and he worked for years
to pay everyone back.

There was no fraud.

I've got proof.

From what websites
did you get proof?

And more importantly, Mom, why?

Because I will always
look out for my children.

Okay.

Look...

this isn't okay.

None of it.

You've gotta stop trying to ruin

every good thing in my life.

You remember you
didn't even like Tanner

when you first met him?

This has nothing to
do with Tanner right now.

I've heard about the
police report too.

What do you mean
there's a police report?

Chase Montgomery
is bad news, Kenzie.

Just stay away from him.

Check your email.

I'm sending you some
links you need to read.

Okay.

Talk to you later, Mom.

You need to know the truth.

Hello?

Is this Chase Montgomery?

I'm sorry, who is this?

Kenzie's
mother. We need to talk.

Kenzie's mom!

Uh...

Well, what a surprise.

Did Kenzie give you my number?

My son shared
your number with me.

Of course Brian did.

What can I do for you?

I'd like to discuss
your failed business

and the fraudulent
charges laid at your feet.

Have you spoken to
Kenzie about this yet?

Of course I have.

I wouldn't keep her in the dark.

I see.

I know all about you.

How dare you attempt
to have a relationship

with my daughter, when all
you care about is yourself!

I've read the website. I
know all about everything.

If you just give me-

- How dare you!

Just give me a minute, please!

Obviously you came
to share your piece,

and I respect that, however-

- You better stay
away from my daughter!

However...

Kenzie is a grown woman who
can make her own adult choices.

And in this instance,
I'm gonna refer to her.

If you think I'll
put up with any of this!

Excuse me, ma'am.

- Your are a disgusting...
- Ma'am...

- Worthless piece of-
- Ma'am excuse me!

I respect Kenzie, and I wouldn't
do anything to harm her.

Nothing, including
what you suggest.

Now, I suggest that you
go check your source

on my history and get
your facts straight.

Old blogs written by my former
business partner don't count.

I don't believe
a word you've said.

Well, I'll tell you right now

I am an honest, hardworking man,

and I deserve none of this.

Don't you try to con me!

Bye.

Hey.

Hey.

I just thought I'd let you know

I got a call from
your mom today.

How bad was it?

It was pretty bad.

I'm so sorry, Chase.

I was pretty blindsided
by the whole thing.

It takes some serious
to chew a man out like that.

I'll give her that much.

Yeah, you didn't deserve it.

I just want to
ask you one thing.

Do you believe what
she said about me?

The fraudulent stuff?

I don't want to.

I told her it wasn't true.

But...

I've sitting here letting my
doubts get the best of me.

Well...

I guess that's the
answer I needed.

Chase.

Have a good one.

I'll see you later.

But our date.

Wow.

I haven't heard from
him in days, Brian.

I...

think this is Mom's most
impressive record yet.

I tried to warn him about her.

I know.

It's not fair.

Do you think theres
any chance you can fix it?

No.

I don't think it's
repairable? How could it be?

I don't know.

Mom's been known to
say some nasty stuff.

Yeah, it's just...

It's too much.

Mom, why are you calling me?

We need to talk.

No, we don't! I've gotta go.

I told you, we have
nothing to discuss.

Kenzie, this is important!

You're not ready
for a relationship.

Mom...

I love Chase.

I do.

He's amazing, and I'm
really glad I met him.

If you ever want to meet him,
I need two things from you.

No!

I know you showed me
the websites were false-

- Mom, two things.

One...

stop it.

I am an adult, I am
allowed to live my life,

and you don't have a right
to say anything about it.

And, two...

I love you, but I
don't need this.

So if you're gonna continue
to be mean and spiteful,

then you're gonna lose me too.

And, three...

Don't you ever call
Chase like that again!

If you have something that's
not appropriate or nice to say,

them just don't.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm bringing happiness
back into my life.

So...

I've gotta go.

I love you

But he's not the
one! I'm telling you!

How've you been?

I'm good.

How's your mom?

You kinda left me hanging,
and I've been worried sick.

She's better.
Definitely on the mend.

Doctors thinks she
might even be able

to come home this weekend.

That is wonderful!

Why didn't you tell me?

I know. I'm sorry.

Chase?

What happened?

Honestly...

I guess I panicked.

I couldn't imagine us trying
to have a relationship

without trust.

That isn't what I meant.

Yeah, I realize that now.

I probably realized it then too,

but I was just
too upset to tell.

It hurt.

It really hurt.

I know.

And that's why I wanted
to chat and say sorry.

Well, I'm sorry
my mom told you off.

You definitely
didn't deserve that.

Well, you did tell me your
family was dysfunctional.

I just didn't realize to
what extent until then.

Yeah.

It's always been weird.

She just has to have
everything her way.

But I think this virus has a way

of bringing the
worst out of people.

It's like they have too much
time to mull stuff over.

Yeah. I can see that.

Are you okay?

If I was half the man
I pretended to be,

I would have asked you
that question every night.

I'm okay.

I actually...

had it out with my mom today.

I'm not sure what the
repercussions will be, but...

I think it's worth it.

Set some boundaries.

Yeah, I told her I'm an adult,

and if she wants to have
anything to do with me,

then she better let
me live my life.

Bravo.

That needed to be said.

Yeah, for a long time.

Turns out boundaries
are a good thing.

So, as much fun as it is
talking about your mom...

I really came here
to ask you one thing.

Can you forgive me?

I love you.

I'm sorry...

What was that?

I said I love you.

I'm coming over.

Chase, you can't!

Watch me.

I can't let you in.

You said you love me.

Do you have a fever?

Chase, I'm not
delusion or anything.

No, I'm being serious.

Do you have a fever?

No!

Have you had a fever
in the last two weeks

or any COVID-19 symptom
for that matter?

No, or I wouldn't be
allowed to go to work.

Well, neither have I, which
means we are both well enough

for essential jobs and to go
to stores and things, right?

Well, yeah.

Good.

Because I have something very
essential to do right now.

When the love b*mb is dropped,

it is essential that you kiss.

What are we going to do now?

Well, I still have a list
of dates we haven't been on.

I like that.

Or we could keep kissing.

'Cause I'm okay with that too.

I bet.

I do have to go back into
quarantine tomorrow for my job.

Yeah. The old people need you.

But, why don't we have dinner?

I know a little bistro.
It's called my balcony.

Oh, I have I've
read about that.

Uh-huh. I've always
wanted to try that place.

Good reviews.

Um...

You know, I know where
you Chinese place

that delivers this time.

Hm! Perfect.

You mean we're not gonna do
our own cooking show today?

Oh, no. That's
tomorrow night's date.
