Pete: Holy crap! How long has it been since we have filmed? Fifty weeks? Fifty months? Fifty years?

Patrick: It has been a year and eight months, honey. Also, mask above your nose.

Pete: Right! Right! My bad! [lifts up mask over nose] There we go!

Camera Man: How has business been since the pandemic hit?

Pete: Hasn't been too bad, but of course we were hit pretty hard in the beginning when lockdown had happened.

Patrick: Because Pete and I own small businesses, it's really scary to have to close up shop for a while. Our shops are where we are able to collect our money and provide for our home.

Camera Man: "Home"?

Patrick: [grins] Pete and I moved in together. Good thing it was before the pandemic has hit. I would have been worried if Pete wasn't by my side.

Pete: [fond smile] You do care.

Patrick: [fond smile] Of course. You're my boyfriend. Also, I know you would forget your mask and hand sanitizer. By the way, where is your hand sanitizer?

Pete: [searches pockets] Uh...

Patrick: [pulls out Pete's hand sanitizer from his bag] You left it next to the lube.

Pete: Oh yeah... [nervous laugh] Uh, sorry about last night again...

Patrick: Don't apologize to me. Apologize to my a*s and your d**k.

Adjusting the flower face mask, Ashley grabs the coffee cup and hands it to the neon green boy in front of her.

"And you have their donuts as well?" She asks.

"Of course! Have more faith in me Ash."

"Last time you said that, the donuts were in your engine."

"...My car was hungry?"

"Go."

Ashley: Well, what can I say? A lot has happened the last year and eight months. The shop had to hire new employees after its sudden popularity increase last year. They pretty cool. Well... some of them.

Awsten: MY NAME IS AWSTEN KNIGHT. I AM 22 YEARS YOUNG, AND I LIKE SHARP THINGS.

Camera Man: Uh... okay. What do you do for the shop?

Awsten: I DRIVE A CAR AND DROP ITEMS OFF FOR PEOPLE.

Ashley: I'm still questioning if Awsten driving is actually a good idea.

Hayley: Hey! I am Hayley! I am 23, and I work part time at the shop. I usually help up front at the register.

Beomgyu: [waves] Hi! I'm Beomgyu! I'm 19, and this is my first job ever actually! I just want to try and do my best. [sunshine smile]

Camera Crew: [coos at Beomgyu] Awww, how cute!

Ashley: [fond smile] Ah Beomgyu, all sweet and innocent. [small smirk] Just wait till he gets comfortable with you. That is when he turns into a menace.
