Marge Artie, is that you?
Artie Ziff - Surprised Marge?! What are you doing here?

Marge They're the characters from my novel.
Homer The one I never read?
Marge - Annoyed Yes...
Homer No, that's not it.
Marge - Annoyed Yes, it is, Homer. Temperance met Artie Ziff at the movies and I was afraid she might fall for him, so I wrote Cyrus back in to woo her.
Homer Oh, so Cyrus is like me then, isn't he? He's trying to win over the heart of his woman! Go Cyrus!
Marge - Annoyed Ugh. Hardly. Cyrus didn't take his friend to a wrestling match on Valentine's Day.
Temperance - Annoyed But he did forget our anniversary. That's why I needed time to clear my head.
Homer - Scared Oh no, that's what Marge said right before she kicked me out! Cyrus, quick, go get a box of chocolates. And don't eat more than half!

Orfanato De Artie Ziff

Pt. 5[edit]
