the cost will be added to what you already owe.
You pay, they'll let you take it.

- I know.
Thank you, I really appreciate it.

(sighs)
- Hey, I'm so glad you called me back.
- Of course, what's going on?
- I need a place to crash tonight,
or maybe for a couple of nights,
and I was wondering if maybe I could crash with you.
- I would, but I have my brother and his kids here with me,
It's stinking up the joint.
- No, of course, yeah, it's totally fine, no worries.
- What about Liv?
- She moved to Colorado, so.
- Well I'm sure you'll figure something out, right?
I'm not worried about you.
- Yeah, no, no, no worries at all, yeah.
I have to go back to work,
how about I call you next week and we catch up?
- Okay, let me know, Let me know how it goes.

Shit.

- Yeah.
- Thanks.
(sighing)
Would you mind, could we just put the windows down?
We're fully vaccinated and everything, but you know,
better safe than sorry.
Much better, there we go.
Oh man.
- God, I'm so over everything being closed.
I just want an actual human to serve me a drink again
- I know
- I just want to rage on a crowded dance floor
with a skinny Margarita, is that asking too much?
- [Ethan] I just can't keep working in the living room.
Like I don't know what we would do without
the other bedroom, ya know?
What about you?
You've been driving the whole pandemic, doing this?
- As much as I can.
- Well that's good.
- How did you survive?
- [Ethan] Dude that's rude you can't ask her that.
- [Evan] What, I'm just asking.
- It's been so tough. What a year, right?
I mean, luckily we were influencers
so we can like work from where ever.
It's just no one is meant to spend this much time at
home at all, you know?
- Really hard.
- You know what-
Oh yeah, right up here on the right.
- Yeah, The one right next to the Mercedes.
Yeah, Thank you. Awesome.
- Okay, put your mask on.
We really should have gone with the Tesla over it.
Thank you so much, hang in there.
Hopefully it gets better for all of us.
