02:50You look like a witch from the book.
02:52The good witch?
02:54No, the witch that goes in the oven. Do you know, do you have a glove on your hand?
03:01Thanks, babe.
03:04Mommy, let's watch the show.
03:08Not now, Beetlepug.

03:15Yeah.
03:17How did that work?
03:20It just keeps going.

03:57Yeah, sure.
03:58You wanna give me a mask, too?

04:01Okay.
04:06You okay?
04:09Hey, listen now.
04:12I love you.
04:13I love you.
04:15But you look really, really bad right now.
04:17What's up?
04:18Yeah, I heard.
04:22Witchy.
04:31You aren't eating.
04:34Are you drinking, at least?
04:37Mm.
04:41Okay, listen.
04:42I, I think, I think it's time.
04:43It's time that we went to the hospital.
04:45I know we thought you were on the upswing, but now,
04:47I'm looking at you, and this, it seems like this is getting worse.
04:53Go on, what if you need an IV?
04:55I can't give you an IV.
04:58You know, you, you should be where there are medical people,
05:02and there's a whole bunch of beeping machines
05:04that are gonna warn us if something is wrong,
05:06because what if something,
05:08what if something is really wrong?
05:17I don't wanna die alone in a hospital.
05:20I don't want you to die in that bedroom.
05:25Look, I wanna be here.
05:28Okay?
05:29I want the sounds of home,
05:32not my shades.
05:35Oh, God.
05:40I have to sleep now, okay?
05:54What are those?
05:56Galaxy balls!
05:57Where did you get them?
05:58By mommy's soups.
06:00I'm shooting them into infinity.
06:03Drop those, and come over here and wash your hands.
06:06No, why?
06:08Remember, mommy is very sick.
06:11Let's bring her ice cream.
06:16No, mommy is off limits.
06:20We can't touch her or her crackers or anything else that she's touched.
06:24She has sick germs.
06:26Can I see the germs?
06:28No, they're inside her, but don't worry because the antibodies are fighting them away.
06:35Like Auntie Lisa.
06:37Uh-huh.
06:38Yeah.
06:41What should we have for lunch?
06:42Ice cream!
06:58Hey, hope you're hanging in there.
06:59Kid, crazy times.
07:01I can't believe they still got us locked up like this.
07:03I mean, it's unconstitutional if you ask me.
07:06Hi, honey, it's mom.
07:08I just wanted to make sure you saw the thing I said about vitamin C.
07:11Ann Marie should be doubling up on that.
07:13He's not on.
07:14I'm leaving a message.
07:15Oh, I do.
07:15What's the deal?
07:16You want me to call Bill Motley for you?
07:18You know, I don't like asking people for favors and owing people anything.
07:22Oh, tell him if he needs a lawyer.
07:23I can probably help.
07:24Since I used to be a paralegal.
07:26You were a secretary at a law firm for five seconds in the 70s.
07:29Anyway, call us back.
07:31We'll see what we can do.
07:32Oh, and check your email.
07:33I sent you a coupon for a virtual tour of the zoo.
07:36I guess they've been struggling, those poor animals.
07:39They must really miss all the visitors.
07:41Bye.
07:48Hey, Mabel.
07:50Oh, shit.
07:51Sorry.
07:52I thought it was gonna be Trevor.
07:54No, he's napping.
07:55Um, what's, what's with the look?
07:58Oh, uh, my virtual dance class was 80s themed today.
08:02So, I worked my shit out to the go-go's.
08:06The go-go's.
08:08I went, went.
08:11Oh, Jesus.
08:13Did you see mom's latest email about the importance of a plant-based diet?
08:17God, fuck us.
08:18If they become vegans, they're gonna outlive us both.
08:22Shit.
08:22Sorry.
08:26So, how's, um, how's Amy right?
08:29Um, she's really fucking bad.
08:31Oh, no.
08:34Like, bad, bad.
08:35And, um, I, I can't, I can't do anything to, to, to make it better.
08:46And, you know, we, we, we picked mom and dad to take Trevor if, God forbid, you know, mom and
08:59dad.
09:01But we never made that formal, you know, we never made anything like that formal.
09:06And I'm the contracts guy, Lisa.
09:09And contracts are my department.
09:14I, uh, I feel like I'm failing all over the place.
09:20Everyone is right now.
09:23Daddy.
09:24Hey.
09:24Hey, buddy.
09:26Come over here and say, say hi to Auntie Lisa.
09:29Hi.
09:30Oh, hello, Franklin.
09:32I'm not Franklin.
09:33I'm Trevor.
09:34Okay.
09:35Well, you really look like a Franklin, so.
09:38Is mommy better?
09:40Um, not, not yet, buddy.
09:44Not yet.
09:44She's still really sick.
09:46Can I give her a hug?
09:47Oh, you know, she would love that.
09:49But, you know, it's not safe to, to be around mommy right now.
09:54It's not safe to be around mommy.
09:56It's not safe, but why don't you go grab some cereal?
10:01Huh?
10:01The sugary kind?
10:02Yeah.
10:03The sugary kind?
10:08Hey, Greg, you can't tell a kid it's not safe to be around his mom.
10:13What am I supposed to say?
10:14She's 10 feet away.
10:15She's coughing her lungs out.
10:17And all he wants to do is, is to be with her.
10:20He doesn't want to be with me.
10:21He wants to be with her.
10:22I had to put up the baby gate just to keep him from getting in.
10:26Okay, that's a lot.
10:27But you know his little mind can't process hearing that his mom is very sick and unsafe.
10:33I mean, Jesus, are you going to tell him about the Holocaust next?
10:36Feelings are Anne Marie's department.
10:39And I've been keeping us all watered.
10:41I've been keeping us all fed.
10:42I've been trying to read to Trevor for 15 minutes every day.
10:46But I'm going to tell you, 15 minutes have not felt so long since we ate those weed cookies at
10:51the lake.
10:51And you thought it would be funny to hide from me.
10:55Okay, I am still very sorry about that.
10:58But you've got to do some damage control or he's going to end up afraid of his own shadow soon.
11:04Okay, I won't say sick.
11:08Okay, no.
11:09Even more than that.
11:10You've got to ding-dong, fling-flong this whole narrative, all right?
11:14Turn everything that's happening into a game or a fairy tale or like the plot of a Pixar movie.
11:21Make up a story to distract him from what's going on while also making him feel safe.
11:27Like pour some sugar cereal all over his whole life.
11:32Ding-dong, fling-flong, huh?
11:34Yeah.
11:38Yeah.
11:38Yeah.
11:39I'm a poet.
11:40Yeah.
11:40Yeah, I can...
11:43I can do that.
11:44Yeah, I can do that.
11:45All right.
11:47Okay.
11:48Okay.
11:49Thanks.
11:49Thanks, Elise.
11:51Mm-hmm.
11:51You got it.
11:52Anytime.
11:53And hey, don't worry.
11:56If, you know, God forbid, and I know we don't even want to think about it, but just know, I've
12:01got Trevor.
12:02Okay?
12:03Yeah.
12:04Yeah.
12:05Okay.
12:15Mommy must still be sleeping.
12:18We'll try again later, okay?
12:20Try again later?
12:22Yeah, we'll try again.
12:23Hooking.
12:25Hook, hook, hook.
12:26You're hooking?
12:27Well, you know what I'm doing?
12:28I'm doing laundry in the bathtub.
12:30But why?
12:32Because the machine broke down, and the repair guy can't come, and even if he could come,
12:39he couldn't come in here because we can't have anybody inside the house right now.
12:46Mom, but why?
12:52Because of the great curse.
12:54What's the great curse?
12:57Um, a curse is like a magical spell, but a bully kind.
13:03Oh.
13:04Like James from school?
13:05No, no.
13:06It's not a person.
13:08Uh, a curse is invisible.
13:13Why is it here?
13:15Legend says the curse came in with the wind, and delivers bad juju to anyone who goes outside
13:20right now.
13:21Juju?
13:23Bad feelings.
13:25Oh, like the stuff we touched turned bad?
13:29I think that's right, yeah.
13:30That's the legend.
13:31But if everyone stays inside soon, the curse will disappear.
13:36But it's already invisible.
13:38Right.
13:38It'll go back to where it came from.
13:42Where is that?
13:43The land of the unknown.
13:51Is that by Santa?
13:53Even further.
13:55Under the ocean?
13:57Further.
13:59In space?
14:01Actually, the location is an ancient mystery.
14:06I like the inside.
14:09Oh.
14:10Oh.
14:13Oh.
14:36Stop.
14:47Let's go.
15:17I'm a McDonald's!
15:23Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
15:26I'm a McDonald's!
15:31It's okay.
15:33It's okay.
15:34It's okay.
15:35It's okay.
15:35It's okay.
15:36Mommy!
15:38Let's call her, okay?
15:39Let's call Mommy.
15:40Come here.
15:53Mommy, the curse took you.
15:56What, my love?
15:57The curse took you.
15:59No, no, no, no.
16:01Baby, it's okay.
16:02You just had a scary dream.
16:06I'm right here.
16:07No, Mama.
16:09It was real.
16:10Daddy told me all about it.
16:12Oh, silly Daddy.
16:15You don't believe in the curse.
16:18Uh, that's right.
16:20I forgot.
16:22There's milkers.
16:25But still bullies?
16:28Yeah.
16:30But all they want is love.
16:33Mama, would you sleep with me?
16:35Of course.
16:37How about I sing you the small song?
16:41Yeah?
16:42Mm-hmm.
16:47I made a small, small song.
16:55Mm-hmm.
16:58I made a small, small song.
17:09I sang it all night long, all through the wind and rain,
17:23until the morning.
17:38Curse, huh?
17:40Yeah.
17:40What was that about?
17:42Oh, that's just me, you know?
17:47Trying to make the world a little easier for him to understand.
17:49Maybe don't do that again.
17:52I may have taken some advice from Lisa.
17:57Greg, your sister is an adult woman who collects shot glasses.
18:11I'm losing it.
18:14I'm losing it.
18:16I need you.
18:22And you have to get better.
18:25I am trying.
18:29Until then, stick with your own impulses.
18:34I've always found them to be pretty spot on.
18:40Um, also, I, uh, agreed to have Lisa be Trevor's guardian if, uh, God forbid, so.
18:50When you get better, you're gonna have to call her and, and figure that one out.
18:56Well, it feels like you're a department.
18:59Oh, great.
19:01Something to look forward to.
19:08Take me back to Trevor's bed.
19:12I made a small, small song.
19:21I made a small, small song.
19:29I sang it all night long.
19:35All through the wind and rain until the morning came.
19:45Mmm, this song is my small song.
19:55Mmm, this song is my small song.
20:05I sang it all night long
20:10And when the morning came
20:15I had to start all over again
20:23My song is so, so small
20:33My song is so, so small
20:39If I was right, I would be wrong
20:46Don't be afraid, it's just a small song
21:11Don't be afraid, it's just a small song
21:45Don't be afraid, it's just a small song
21:47Don't be afraid, it's just a small song
21:47Don't be afraid, it's just a small song
