Guys, the vaccine's on its way,
the pandemic's almost over, so let's take stock.
I know we've all been locked up for about a year now.
-How is everybody doing? -You know, Roy,
all this extra time at home really hasn't been that bad.
I took up crochet, and it's actually kind of fun.
Whoa. Are you gonna make me a scarf?
Yeah, totally, right after I finish off these mittens.
(whispers): Wow.
Michael, what have you been up to?
Well, you guys know I always wanted to paint.
-Uh, yeah. -Uh, yeah.
Well, this year I took up oil painting.
Wow! Oh, my God, that's amazing.
Seriously, Kosta, those are impressive.
Man, I'm so inspired now.
(playing piano rag)
Taught myself how to play piano.
Bought this one on eBay.
Fixed it up using a YouTube tutorial.
-Sounds good, right? -Roy, that is killer.
I love it.
-(piano rag ends) -So, Ronny,
what have you been up to all this time?
Nothing. I just basically sat here.
Oh. Okay. Yeah, like... like meditation.
-Yeah, yeah. -No.
Just, like, freaking out in silence for nine months.
LYDIC: Okay.
Well, that's cool, Ronnie.
Michael, is that a schooner?
It is. Oh, my God, Desi, you really know your sailboats.
Yeah, well, I spent a week in June studying wooden ships.
Oh, my God. Well, then, you're gonna love this.
-It's the USS Constitution. -Oh, my God.
-The only wooden ship... -It's the only wooden ship...
BOTH: ...still in commission by the U.S. Navy.
-(chuckles): Yeah. -What the hell?
What is wrong with you guys? What kind of maniac
uses the apocalypse for self-improvement?
Well, guilty as charged.
I'm rocking a six-pack now.
Oh, yeah.
(grunts) Never felt better.
I made some changes, too. Totally revamped my diet.
Got rid of all the refined sugars.
Ronnie, if you want, I'll mail you some of my bread recipes.
No. I don't want to make goddamn bread at home.
So many problems are in the world.
They're not going away just by making some focaccia.
Actually, it's... (Italian accent): Focaccia.
(normal voice): I also learned Italian.
You know, one of the biggest knitting communities
is in Tuscany.
Uh, shout-out to my ladies in the old country.
(speaks Italian)
Oh, my God, I love Italy.
It's actually the setting for my third novel.
It's about a Venetian prince
who fell out of favor with the pope
but then finds true love with a stable maid called Rosaria.
Shut the (bleep) up.
Okay? Who had the energy to do all this?
I cut my hair once in May, and it was a disaster.
And that was it. I spent the rest of the time
looking at houses on Zillow
in random towns all over the country.
Oh. Any towns you like?
No.
Casper, Wyoming.
Oh, yeah. 82601.
What?
That's the zip code for Casper, Wyoming.
I memorized the whole country back in April.
Ugh, wasn't April a mess?
The only thing I managed to do was learn telekinesis.
Wow. Okay.
Great. You guys did stuff.
Somehow.
Looks like I wasted my year.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Ronnie.
Ronnie, don't be so hard on yourself, okay?
Look, I'm not a psychiatrist.
I have another semester before I become one.
But I think the important thing to remember in these times
is that the biggest accomplishment we can make
is survival.
And you've done that, Ronnie.
So you should be proud.
Hold your head up high.
You did it, man.
Yeah, you're-you're right. I-I did survive.
Yeah, but wait, wait. Ronnie, just a second.
Done.
Damn, Kosta. That's awesome.
Aw, you look so sad.
Oh, I know. He does. Got me feeling...
(playing wistful music on piano)
Hmm.
Okay, so, great talking to you guys, as usual.
I'm gonna go stare at my ceiling until June.
-Bye, Ronnie. -(playing upbeat music on piano)
