6年黄組「3軒目の店」6-nen Kigumi · The Third Bar
A comedian is told the other person will date them if they win first place in tonight's audience-voted show.
Culture note In Japanese comedy duos, your partner is your 相方 (aikata), and a duo can't do its act alone.
The words appear when the audience laughs.
だって今日相方いないんだよ!
'Cause my partner isn't here today!
Textbookなぜなら、今日は相方がいないからです。Line-initial 'だって' replaces 'なぜなら', and explanatory 'んだよ' replaces '〜からです' to give the excuse.
