Bartleby and Marty launch a couch company and instantly become rich. Everyone in town wants to lounge in their loveseats, their sectional chesterfelds, their camelbacks and palettes. Eventually their supplier, Myra, dies, and the son, Skunk, takes over. A real recliner of a child, Skunk styles
the couches differently, has an epiphany and changes tones, adjusts textures and folds until it’s too much for Bartleby and Marty. They buy a barnyard and start to create couches of their own. Fully exposing the process, showing how to do it at home. The bunk bed sleepers, the cabrioles. By the end of their lives, their wives wear pearls and hurl diamonds at friends in need of added flash. Bartleby and Marty no longer chainsaw and sew, but they both know the price and size of a refined coffin.
