out of paper

for the poetry slams and then

I'm going to leave them

at independently owned

coffee shops and then

tens of people are

gonna show up.

- It's 2015.

Nobody likes poetry slams.

- Who's Grumps?

- Uh...

Dot left me.

- What?

Are you serious?

- She threw me out the house.

I deserve it.

I'm a pain in the ass.

- You're a huge pain in the ass

but come on, you guys,

you guys are gonna

get through this,

you've been together forever.

What the hell happened?

[MUSIC]

- I don't know.

[INDISTINCT YELLING]

Got into an argument.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

She said something about me

not knowing how

to be affectionate.

Called me an a**hole,

a motherf***er,

and things got a

little out of hand.

- I've got something

for your ass right now.

- Oh, you got something

for my ass now, okay then.

- I got something

for you right here.

- Yeah I'm, I'm right here.

Get it for my ass right now.

Not, not, not my, not them...

All right then, all right then.

What about my...

What, what-- Oh!

- Yeah, let's get

down in it, now!

- This the one you

really like, huh?

- No you are not!

Watch this, baby.

Right there.

- (slow motion roar) No!

[CERAMIC BREAKING]

[INDISTINCT YELLING]

- Oh you get out of here now!

- I ain't getting

out of nowhere!

- Okay.

Well, it's obviously

not the first

huge fight that you've had,

and it won't be the last.

What are you looking for?

- I thought we had

a blanket here.

It's gonna be cold tonight.

- Stop it.

You're not staying here.

and then tomorrow

you're gonna talk to Dot

and you're gonna

work everything out.

- Hey, Bob, will you

do me a personal favor

and stay with me please?

- Okay.

For one night.

And then I'll set up camp

here in the morning.

- All right,

you've got yourself a deal.

(clears throat)

- Oh, that's a good idea.

It's not like that's a

depressant or anything.

- Ahh.

- We have a capacity

crowd here at Club Dot

for Poetry Slam Thursday.

I am your host,

Dan Shauble.

and before I bring up

our first contestant

I have one question:

Do we actually have

any contestants?

How 'bout a,

a simple show of hands?

Is anyone here to slam?

Okay!

Apparently it's just me.

(clears throat)

[MUSIC]

When we met,

my breath was thick.

When you smiled,

one thousand children laughed.

And when you told me

that you loved me,

that's when life made sense.

When you rolled

yourself up

into that thing that you called

the human sphere.

When hawk wings

sprouted from your hunched

reptilian back.

When your body grew to

five times its normal size.

When you swallowed my ten

dollars in change and sang to me

in that indistinguishable
