Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Love is in the air! Although maybe not so much in the Simpsons’ household…
Love and War is the latest event to hit our pocket-sized towns, and it’s an all-out romance novel affair! Time to wrap the story up with a pretty little bow!
Now on with the exciting conclusion of the Love and War Romance and the Act 4 dialogue…
Sickness and in Wealth Pt. 1
Auto starts
Homer: Marge, it took me too long to realize what a jerk I’ve been. I haven’t paid nearly enough attention to you and your interests. Also, I owe you a real Valentine’s Day present, so I booked us a couple’s night cruise. And absolutely no Lenny.
Marge: *kisses Homer* Thank you, Homie, you had me at “Lenny”.
Homer: That was the very last word.
Marge: And that’s when you had me. Anyway, we have bigger problems. I just got an invitation to Temperance and Artie’s wedding. It’s happening today!
Homer: Didn’t they just meet? God, millennials are the worst.
Marge: They’re the same age as us.
Homer: I meant millennials from the 1800s.
Marge: The point is, we have to break up that wedding.
Homer: Say no more, baby. Ruining weddings is one of the things I do best. Remember our first three?
Marge: Captain Mordecai, you’re coming too. Breaking up this wedding may be a two-clod job.
Captain Mordecai: Anything for my yoga partner.

Homer: Alright, Marge. Are you ready for us to go break up this wedding?
Marge: In a minute… I just need to finish writing this last chapter so our hero can appear and save the day.
Homer: I didn’t know you were writing me into your novel. You really think I can be a knight in shining armor?
Marge: Umm, yeah. That’s what I’m doing. I’m definitely not writing that Captain Mordecai is about to kidnap Temperance so Cyrus can thwart his plans and save the day.

Marge: You invited me. And a plus one.
Homer: That’s me! And I also brought a plus one!
Captain Mordecai: It is I!
Temperance: Mordecai? I don’t think we ordered enough chicken. One of you will have to eat a vegetarian meal.
Captain Mordecai: Fine! Whatever it takes to stop this wedding.
Artie Ziff: Enough! I thought you might try to get between me and eternal happiness, Marge, so I’ve prepared a little surprise just for you. Behold…Robot Marge!
Robot Marge: Diagnostics complete. All systems operational. What are your orders, master?
Artie Ziff: Stop Marge and her goons from interfering with my wedding.
Robot Marge: Affirmative. Setting kill-level to: Gruesome.
Homer: That doesn’t sound good. But don’t worry, Marge. I got this. Just let me do some quick warm-ups. I don’t want to pull a muscle.
Sickness and in Wealth Pt. 3
Auto starts
Homer: It’s hopeless, Marge. That robot you has your angry face. How can I compete with that?!
Cyrus Manley: Unhand that maiden, Captain Mordecai! For I, Cyrus Manley, am here to save the day!
Marge: Uh, bad timing, Cyrus. Mordecai hasn’t kidnapped Temperance yet… He’s actually still on our side. We’re trying to stop Artie, but he has a robot bodyguard protecting him.
Cyrus Manley: What’s a robot?
Captain Mordecai: Cyrus Manley… You ran off with my wife. I should kill you right here and now! But I’m in a good mood, on account of the yoga I did earlier, plus I’ve got another man to kill first.
Cyrus Manley: I’m in a good mood, too. I bumped into a fella earlier who looked almost exactly like me, and we talked about the Bible for hours. You know, I hated this town when I first arrived, but it’s growing on me.
Captain Mordecai: Same here! This place actually brings out the best in me.
Cyrus Manley: Who knew all we needed was a new setting to go from enemies to frenemies?
Captain Mordecai: Aww, come here and gimme a hug!
Marge: This is not what I wrote.

Temperance: Artie, where did this mechanical abomination come from?
Artie Ziff: Who, Robot Marge? Don’t worry about her. That was just a backup plan in case you didn’t agree to marry me.
Temperance: What does that mean?
Artie Ziff: Oh, nothing… Now, don’t you worry your pretty little head about Robot Marge. Sure, she cost a fortune, but I’ve got figurative money to burn. Literally!
Sickness and in Wealth Pt. 4
Auto starts
Marge: Guys, we still have to stop this wedding and figure out what to do about Robot Marge.
Captain Mordecai: You leave that scallywag to me.
Homer: And I’ll take Artie. I can take him down a peg. He’s already pretty short, but you know what I mean.
Cyrus Manley: And I’ll see if I can talk some sense into Temperance. Marge, what about you?
Marge: Don’t worry about me. I’m typing as fast as I can! Go, go, go!

Captain Mordecai: Then I’m gonna make ye walk the plank while you watch your loved ones suffer their final breaths.
Robot Marge: Computing… That is the most romantic thing I’ve ever computed.
Captain Mordecai: It is?
Robot Marge: Affirmative. I am programmed to learn the most efficient methods of pain and torture. We could learn a lot from each other. We could maim by day and make sweet love by night, as I am also programmed in the ways of physical pleasure.
Captain Mordecai: That’s the most romantic thing I’VE ever computed, er, heard. Robot Marge, will you marry me?
Artie Ziff: Infernal machine! You’re supposed to kill, not marry! That’s the last time I order my killer robots from Ukraine.
Sickness and in Wealth Pt. 5
Auto starts
Homer: Looks like your bodyguard has been neutralized, Artie. It’s over for you.
Artie Ziff: Puh-lease! You think that’s the only ace I’ve got up my sleeve?
Homer: Here’s what I have up my sleeve. *punches Artie* My fist!
Artie Ziff: Ow!
Cyrus Manley: Temperance, my dear. I’m so happy you’re okay. That robot didn’t hurt you, did it?
Temperance: No, I’m fine. Although that Marge-amaton was really creepy, wasn’t it?
Captain Mordecai: Hey, she’s not an unfeeling automaton. She’s an unfeeling Mechano-American.
Cyrus Manley: Temperance, I’ve been such a fool. I can’t believe I forgot our anniversary. Do you think you could ever find it in your heart to forgive me?
Temperance: I’m beginning to realize that we all make mistakes… I mean, I almost married a man with a robot version of the real woman who created the fictional character that somehow conjured into me.
Cyrus Manley: So, is that a yes?
Temperance: Prob’ly.

Twist of Fat

Homer: Well, it looks like a happy ending for everyone.
Artie Ziff: Not for me.
Cyrus Manley: Or me.
Captain Mordecai: I got badly injured on my robot honeymoon.
Homer: But the most important lesson we learned is that no matter how many stupid things I do, we always end up back together. So how about next time we just save all the heartache and skip right to the part where we’re back together.
