A man walks onto a stage. In the crowd are many men that look almost exactly the same, all wearing black shirts and pants. They all have numbers on their foreheads.
The man picks up the microphone at his feet.
"It is finally time. 573, enter the stage."
A man from the side of the stage comes to the center.
"Meet out champion."
The man hands 573 the microphone.
"I switched my robot off. And I know more, but retain less, retain less, retain less, tain less, ain less, less, less, less."
The crowd cheers. 573 gives the microphone back to the man.
"This will be THE END of Gorillaz!"
The crowd cheers louder.

"This week on 'Music News', a shocking discovery that the band Gorillaz will not only be the first people on Saturn, but will broadcast the first ever live concert in space."
The TV turns off.
"I can't believe you watch that crap."
"I don't, it was just on when I turned the TV on!"
"Excuses, excuses."
He always immediately puts me in a bad mood.
I bring my empty cereal bowl into the kitchen.
"Are you ready for this today?"
"Don't try to sympathize with me. It won't work."
"It was just a question."
"Shut up."
What put him in a crappy mood?
Russ walks in.
"Y'all nee ta shut up! I'm tryinna sleep! We only got a few mo' hours!"
"You know I can't understand you're stupid 'American speak'!"
"Jus' shut it!"
"Okay! Go back to sleep!"
"I will!"
Noodle comes in.
"What's all the yelling?"
Murdoc and Russ jerk their heads quickly to look at her.
"GO BACK TO SLEEP!"
"Jeez, my bad."
She leaves. Russ follows her.
Murdoc sits at the table with three slices of toast.n
I sit on the couch and turn the TV back on.
