*Phone ringing*

Hello?

Hey! It's Keith from trivia night. I'm sorry who?

Hey! I was wondering, is Aimee there? Aimee?

*Korean speaking* W-Wait no-no-no

Hi, is there an Aimee at this number?

Sorry!

I'm sorry, I must have the wrong number

*Frustrated groan*

Hey, it's Keith from the other night we met at the- *incoming call beep*

Helloooo?

*Phone ringing* *Aggressive scribbling*

Hello? I don't want to do this anymore

*Sigh* Keith... I don't even think we had any chemistry Come on, man...

What? Okay, in the 19th century, what ladies garments were made with whale bone?

You know, it's not whale bone, it's baleen

Exactly. What other team got the final question? Fuck "chemistry", you impressed this chick

Yeah... getting her number was a big deal for me, but-

Okay okay, listen. The trick isn't getting digits. It's getting the girl.

Yeah, well I don't know if I can do that

Keith. One word:

Persistence

*Phone ringing*

Hello? Hey!

Yeah, hello? Hello?

Hello? Hey! It's Keith

Hey, this is Teddy!

It's Becky! Leave a message.

Voice mailbox of Michael Patterson

Hey, it's Aimee. You know what to do *beep*

*Hangs up*

Living solely to mate with his giant counterpart, the male angler wanders the abyss in search of the female

Once a mate is found, the process is parasitic

Fusing to her underbelly, he will cling for the rest of his life

Ow!

Fuck...

And now, with her bloodline pulsing through his veins...

She becomes his one means of survival

*Phone ringing*

For the male, the approach is daunting

Hey, it's Aimee. You know wha- *hangs up*

It may take several attempts before his courage strikes and often will take him by surprise

Hello?

*Drops button* Hey... Aimee, it's Keith. We won trivia together the other night at the La Qui-

I'm sorry, what? *Laughing* please don't call here again.

What? Got the wrong number now-

*Background noise*

What about... what about ladies whale bone garments? *Laughing* whale bone?

I mean, it's not whale bone... it's baleen, but-

*Call disconnects*

That was our question.

Hello?

Rejection.

For the male, this is the end. If unable to find a counterpart, the abyss will devour him.

*Phone case falls off*

*Phone buzzes*

Hello? Finally, I can hear you! Sorry we cut out earlier, who were you looking for?

Look, you're not her

Wait, what? I'm just trying to-

Look, I don't mean to be curt, but just, if it wasn't for the stupid question...

I'm sorry, "stupid question"? [Aside] Carol, can you take this ticket?

Yeah, I'll be right there

I'm sorry. Not you.

From trivia night, what ladies garments used to be made with whale bone?

Y-you mean baleen?

The perfect match.

What?

Corsets, right? They used baleen. It's like... I don't know, it's like whale teeth

Yeah, why do you know that? This is Tiny Tailor on DeGraw. I'm a seamstress.

*Register chimes* The male is dumbstruck. Tongue-tied.

Uhhhhh...

Are you still there?

I have this sweater! How late are you open til today?

Well, if you came by in the next hour, I- That's perfect. I can make it.

Great!

Uh, twenty minutes? Yeah! Sounds like a plan

I'm gonna be gone, but my husband can take care of you when you get here

*Record scratch*

Ahh!

*Frustrated shouts*

[Under breath] Motherfucker...

The ceaseless journey of the great white shark

His movement dictated by one purpose...

...to breed

In a process known as obligate ram ventilation, water enters his mouth

Oxygen is then extract as it flushes out through the gill slits

The result is a tireless one

*Dial tones*

Like all ram ventilators, his endurance is infinite

and should he stop

he will die

*Phone ringing*
