KEVIN
This is Hi-C.
GRANT
(sarcastic)
It is, Kevin! Because remember that time my
life went to fuck and I joined AA? Because
of the alcoholism?
KEVIN
You kinda seem drunk though.
GRANT
Hey thanks man! It's my drunk douchebag bit.
Improv group booted me. Life's a stage until
they can accept the fact that they're nothing
without me.
KEVIN
Yes but your improv group is your AA group. If
they find you convincing they'll be doing less
soul searching and more interventioning.
GRANT
And that's why we'll never let you in the
improv group, Kevin: it's "Yes and..." That
and you're just not naturally funny. And
perhaps most important of all you don't have
a single substance abuse issue. Can you even
call yourself a creative?! You tick none of
the boxes.
KEVIN
I've got yoga instead of a substance abuse
issue. I mean, yoga gives me the peace I need
so I don't have to abuse substances.
GRANT
Kevin, what do people do before they run?
KEVIN
I don't know. Stretch out I guess. Is that
what you're looking for?
GRANT
Yes! They stretch out! AND THEN THEY RUN!
When are you going to stop stretching out
and actually start running?! That's your life
man! You getting the analogy?! Make sense?!
KEVIN
No.
GRANT
No? Then how about: yoga's for girls
and old people. And girls and old
people aren't funny. Well old people are
sometimes funny if they eat it. Yes and
yoga increases their flexibility and
agility. Yes and you're actually comedically
NET NEGATIVE by teaching old people yoga.
Yes and you're removing comedy from the
universe by teaching old people yoga like a
comedy black hole! Yes and art is not peace,
it's war, like that book I loaned you says.
Yes and I'm sure you didn't read it because
you were too swamped achieving peace while
stretching out in preparation to not run.
Yes and robbing this pain-filled world of the
only relief it has, eg. laughter when and old
person eats it. See what I'm doing here--?
KEVIN
I hope so. You're back to the drunk douche bag
bit?
GRANT
(not paying attention to Kevin anymore)
--now step the fuck off so I can get back to my
bit. I'm not going to win back hearts and minds
with a black hole sucking all the comedy out of
me. Christ I could use some liquid inspiration.
You really know how to kill a bit.
