Shocked, Daria approached the podium to accept the award.
"Um...thank you," she began, an impromptu speech. "I'm not much for public speaking, or much for speaking, or, come to think of it, much for the public. And I'm not very good at lying. So let me just say that-"
Suddenly, Kanye West jumped up on stage and seized the microphone from Daria. "Yo Daria, I'm really happy for you and I'm-a let you finish, but Andrea was one of the best misanthropes of all time." Kevin, clueless as ever, cheered loudly from the audience (which was otherwise shocked silent). "One of the best misanthropes of all time!" Kanye repeated. The musician gave the microphone back to Daria and left the stage.
Daria was unable to speak further, as she just stood there opening and closing her mouth like a fish out of water.
