At a live show, a father and his two kids were in their seats, and he was on the phone...

Man: "We're in our seats now. Yeah, they are totally excited. I did. I spoke to the usher on the way in. Of course, it's age-appropriate. It's an ice show."

The kids looked bored.

Man: "Pure family-friendly entertainment."

Backstage, a woman and man are arguing

Backstage, a woman and man are arguing...

"You're such an ass!" She shouted.

"Call me that again, and I'll drop you on yours."

"Try it. Then try sleeping with one eye open for the rest of the tour." She says.

"We don't sleep together anymore, sweetheart. Remember?"

"You two are exhausting."

"Shut the hell up, Randy." They shouted.

The show had begun, and the audience watched.

They spun around on the ice, and a sequin landed on the ice.

The audience clapped, and the man turned to his two kids.

"Come on, guys, that's... you know... fun." He tells them.

The two kids seemed bored.

The boy and girl were getting ready to go on the ice...

"I should have broken up with you back in Tucson." He said.

"Shouldn't have dated you at all. Never settle for the bronze medalist." She says.

"Why don't you take your gold medal and shove it..." He said.

A worker held up her hand, stopping them.

Someone fell on the ice, and another person ran over their fingers, cutting them off.

And the girl fell back, her shakes embedded in his chest.
