Wait List: A Love-ish Story

I don't care.

No, I don't want it.

I gave him half of the house,

I'm fine with my old car, but he never ever touches my work.

I know what I'm saying, and I mean it.

Unless it's related to Denny,

I never want to see him again.

You're the lawyer. Figure it out.

I know that you're looking out for my best interests.

No, I, I appreciate it.

Thank you. Bye.

Door's open.

- (chuckles) Hi. - Oh my God, how are you?

I'm losing my mind over here.

- Oh, please. - Thank you for coming.

None of that.

Oh, it's, it's really fine.

I, um, I was actually visiting my parents.

They're like right up the block.

- Okay. - And, uh, really,

it's completely fine.

My apartment's actually not too far from here.

- Oh, okay. - So, um, yeah, let's uh,

let's see what you got. - Alright.

Okay, um...

So what were you doing before all this?

Um, I hit Update and Restart,

and then everything froze.

All right, um, I'm gonna do a hard reset,

and then we'll see where it goes from there.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

Like, I don't wanna mess anything up.

I mean, you could,

but you gotta live dangerously, Ms. Chase.

- I know if I can watch this. - Just stay with me.

Oh, thank God.

Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It's really, it's completely okay, Mrs. Chase.

It's, it's fine. - Oh, call me Lisa, please.

Okay, Lisa. It's completely fine, Lisa.

All right. Um, here, let me...

Oh, no, that is completely fine, too.

You don't need to do

any of that. - Are you sure about that?

Because I'm probably gonna message you a lot

now that Denny's moved.

I thought, I thought Denny moved years ago.

Oh, he did, but, um...

Well, he was still coming by to help out with things

once his father, um, left.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I, I, I had no idea.

I mean, me and Denny haven't spoken in years.

I, I'm so sorry. I really had no clue.

No, it's fine. It's for the best, believe me.

Okay, yeah.

Um, well, then I'm glad to hear it. (Chuckles)

Um, can I at least get you a beer

or a glass of wine, soda?

Um, a beer would be fine if you have it.

Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Wait, no. Why do you have this?

- What? - Why do you have this?

Our sixth-grade graduation tape.

Yeah.

I have to put that on YouTube one of these days

and send it to Denny.

Oh God, please do not do that.

That's...

It's funny, I remember my mom used to call me an idiot

because when they asked us what we wanted to be

when we got older, I said I wanted to be a

A bounty hunter.

Yes! Yes, that's, yeah.

You remember that? - Yeah, I mean,

how could I not?

All the other kids were copying each other,

teacher, doctor, nurse, scientist, and then you.

We all lived right here.

Yeah. It was fun being Kid Central.

I remember Denny would get mad at me

'cause he'd be in there playing video games all day,

and I'd be out here, talking to you.

Yeah, I remember that.

And then he'd get mad at me

like I was trying to steal his friends.

I mean, he probably knew I had a mad crush on you, so.

Oh, that's sweet.

Yeah, it's, I mean, it's not so sweet now.

I kind of still do.

Thanks.

Yeah, thanks. Um, you're welcome.

Um, yeah. (Chuckles nervously)

Thanks wasn't really the answer I was looking for.

You're serious?

Yeah, well, why not?

I mean, I look old for my age,

and you look young for your...

I mean, you're the perfect age.

Older women rock and all that.

And how exactly would this work?

Like, we go out to dinner

and everyone would think you're my son.

We'll stay in then.

Whose friends would we hang out with?

Anybody. Literally, anybody.

I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm pretty charming.

I could win over just about anyone.

I noticed.

I, on the other hand, would look like a pervert.

No, you would look like a hot cougar,

and all your friends would be jealous.

Or they would think I was crazy.

All the best people are.

What do I tell my son?

Don't tell him.

I know this sounds dick,

but me and Denny haven't spoken since sixth grade.

I mean, come on,

women hit their prime in their forties, right?

Whilst men, I mean, I'll be outta mine in five

or four, or three, two.

Don't let me get to one.

Look, you're adorable and sweet,

and, and smart, and- Sexy as fuck.

And young. I can't date you.

Look, I know I come off as this all-confident guy,

and to some point, I am, but I really like you.

And I don't know, I just,

I, I feel like I've just been on this wait list for college,

and I feel like the opportunity is finally here.

And I think we should go for it.

I really do.

What's up? - Son of a bitch.

What are you doing here?

And why do you still have a key?

I just came to pick up a few things.

There's nothing left of yours here.

You took it when you moved out.

Yeah, when you pushed me out.

Who are you?

Oh, um, hey, I'm Carter Morgan, sir.

I'm one of Denny's friends from up the block.

I was just helping Ms. Chase with her laptop.

Right. Yeah, hey, Carter, how you doing?

Uh, I can take it from here.

Uh, no, you can help by getting out of my house.

My house.

Alright, here's the thing, I figured that we could...

Um, Connor, do you mind leaving us, son?

I kinda got a thing going here.

You don't tell anyone to go anywhere in my house,

and you don't figure anything.

Go back to your 19-year-old girlfriend.

- Cassie threw me out, but- - (scoffs) Of course she did.

- (sighs) Listen, Conrad. - Sir.

When she asks you nicely to leave, you leave.

Yeah, right.

Lisa, you wanna- No.

Let's get you outta here.

- You're kidding. - No.

- Yeah, alright. Whatever. - Let's go.

I'd say leave the keys,

but the locks will be changed tomorrow.

He's too old for you, and you know that. (Chuckles)

- You okay? - Yeah.

- Good. - Thank you.

would you like another beer?

I, I gotta drive.

I don't know why he'd wanna go anywhere else, ever.

But...

There you go.

Hey, um, did you change your mind?

Uh, no, no. (Chuckles nervously)

I'm, I'm not dating you. - Okay.

But I said no to dating, not no.

Aren't you joining me?
