Get this through

your chrome.

We've been dumped,

abandoned.

- But he loved us.

- That's right.

So what?

He has a family.

They move, he moves.

It's a package deal.

But...

He's not coming back,

pure and simple.

Did you talk to him?

They could drive up

any second.

You really think so?

I'm not talking to you.

You have a combined wattage

of five, maybe less.

It's been years.

It's scrap metal time.

Do what you like.

We're not gonna give up hope.

That's real touching.

You're gonna get me bawling

like a baby any time now.

I think

you're jealous.

Sure, I'm jealous of

a bunch of dimwits.

- Dim?

- Yeah!

The Master never

played with you.

Because you're

stuck in the wall!

So, it's back to that

stupid static again.

You think I don't know

what's going on in here?

I know what goes on

in this cottage.

It's a conspiracy...

and every one of you

low-watts is in on it.

Just because

you move around...

you think you're

better than I am.

I was designed

to stick in a wall!

I like being stuck

in this stupid wall!

I can't help it...

if the kid was too short

to reach my dials!

We didn't mean it,

really.

It's my function!

Don't.

Wait, wait!

- He's gonna blow!

- Yank the cord!

The fuse!

Poor Air Conditioner.

I didn't know

he'd take it so hard.

He was a jerk anyway.

Hey, what's that?

What is it?

A car.

Not another word

about cars.

You said it.

Sounds close.

Just don't even start.

Sounds real close.

Wah, hah, hah!

Stop it!

We're going out

to find him.

- What?

- What do you mean?

Exactly

what I said.

We're gonna go out

and find the Master.

To the city?

No matter what!

How would you propose we're

gonna do that, exactly?

I don't know.

Come off it.

Be serious.

I am serious.

You're insane.

If only we were wiener dogs,

our problems would be solved.

What?

Maybe it was

a basset hound.

You're all insane!

It was a news flash

I picked up about a dog.

In an amazing show

of loyalty and courage...

a terrier named Grover

traveled hundreds of miles...

to be reunited

with his owner.

The poor critter was

accidentally left behind...

on a fishing trip

three weeks ago.

He had to find his way

across rugged mountains...

and scorching deserts

in order to get home.

Little Grover turned out

to be one spunky pup.

If a dog can do it,

we can do it!

But a dog has legs.

Ah, don't be

a wet blanket.

- Legs would help.

- Brains wouldn't hurt either.

- Lay off.

- Pipe down, carpet breath.

I'm going,

with or without you.

I say we stay.

We'll have a new master

when someone buys the cottage.

But I don't want

a new master.

I want

our master.

Well...

what about the

Thomas M. Disch

Thomas Michael Disch (February 2, 1940 – July 4, 2008) was an American science fiction author and poet. He won the Hugo Award for Best Related Book – previously called "Best Non-Fiction Book" – in 1999, and he had two other Hugo nominations and nine Nebula Award nominations to his credit, plus one win of the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, a Rhysling Award, and two Seiun Awards, among others. In the 1960s, his work began appearing in science-fiction magazines. His critically acclaimed science fiction novels, The Genocides, Camp Concentration, 334 and On Wings of Song are major contributions to the New Wave science fiction movement. In 1996, his book The Castle of Indolence: On Poetry, Poets, and Poetasters was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and in 1999, Disch won the Nonfiction Hugo for The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of, a meditation on the impact of science fiction on our culture, as well as the Michael Braude Award for Light Verse. Among his other nonfiction work, he wrote theatre and opera criticism for The New York Times, The Nation, and other periodicals. He also published several volumes of poetry as Tom Disch. Following an extended period of depression following the death in 2005 of his life-partner, Charles Naylor, Disch stopped writing almost entirely, except for poetry and blog entries – although he did produce two novellas. Disch killed himself by gunshot on July 4, 2008 in his apartment in Manhattan, New York City. Naylor and Disch are buried alongside each other at Saint Johns Episcopal Church Columbarium, Dubuque, Iowa. His last book, The Word of God, which was written shortly before Naylor died, had just been published a few days before Disch's death. more…
