Kathie and the Blues Guy

Mississippi Gary interrupts his band's performance to describe the heartbreak that fuels his music. From her office, Kathie hears his accusations and presents her side of the relationship: Gary's constant gloom, unemployment and bad manners have exhausted her patience. The sketch cuts between his theatrical grievances onstage and her increasingly pointed rebuttals at work. A disagreement about dinner becomes another blues lament, and Kathie decides they should see other people. Even after trading a final round of insults, Gary returns to his harmonica while Kathie resumes typing to the beat.
