Gus was laid off from his job several months ago and since then he's been trying to scrape by with his unemployment money. Gus has been eating his two roommates food that he thinks they won't notice is gone to try and save some extra money. After months of this behavior they both finally confront him and inform Gus that since he doesn't have any money to pay them back that they're going to beat all the food he stole from them out of him with a number of different implements, ranging from the bare hand all the way up to heavy wooden paddles.
