Scene 2
(In Squall's premises, Squall and
Umi are drinking tea. Presea
enters, dressed as a servant.)
Presea: M. Morcerf, a man who gives
his name Count of Monte Cephiro wants to come and have tea with you.
Squall: (spits his tea back into the
cup) How does he know my mother and I were having tea?
Presea: I don't know. Why don't
you ask him yourself?
Umi: But, I'm also expecting
visitors, you know.
Presea: I know, mistress, but, if he
doesn't get in, he threatened to use his magic and bore a hole into the wall.
Umi: (frustrated) Oh, he sounds like
someone from a long time ago. Let
him in. I will be upstairs, Squall. If you have need of me, then just ring. (gets up and walks out)
Squall: You're not even going to
stay and see who the man is?
Umi: Hell no…I mean, I don't have
the stomach to look at his ugly face right now…Oh, I just don't want to see
him.
Presea: I will be going with you, Mme
Umi.
(Umi and Presea leave, and Lantis
enters, smiling a bit too happily at Squall)
Lantis: Ah, there you are. I find that you have been drinking tea, yes?
Squall: Well, if you must know…
Lantis: Okay! Now, on to business.
Squall: (irritated) What do you want?
Lantis: I heard that the young Ferio
Morrel would be coming here today, accompanied by his sister Sakura and her
husband Syaoran.
Squall: Yeah, what about them?
Lantis: Can you introduce me to them?
Squall: You're asking me? Why don't you introduce them yourself? You seem to know when to barge in to people's tea times.
Lantis: (glares) This isn't
England, you know.
Squall: Who cares? That tea was quite good. Want
some?
Lantis: Actually, I kind of…
Squall: I thought so. I mean, you wouldn't want English tea, now, would you? Oh well, I did offer it to you.
Lantis: But…
Squall: I'll have Presea put the
tea away. (rings the bell and Presea takes the tea and cups away, to Lantis'
disappointment)
Lantis: I came here so I could have
some TEA! But did you give me any? NOOOOOO!!! MAN! YOU HAVE NO HOSPITALITY AT ALL!
(Presea comes in again)
Presea: The Morrels and Syaoran have
come to see you, Monsieur.
Squall: Ah, show them in…oh, and
Presea, please set three sets of tea cups for the three guests. Oh, and one for me too. You
could never get that much tea!
Lantis: What about me?
Squall: You were never invited, in
that case, get your own TEA!
Lantis: Fine, I will. TARTA! TATRA!
(Tarta and Tatra enter)
Tarta: Yes, sir?
Lantis: Get me a tea cup and my home
made tea.
Tatra: Done. (and with that, Tatra
hands the Count his tea cup and the tea pot.)
(Tarta and Tatra leave hurriedly,
knowing what their master will do when he has had some tea)
Lantis: (sings to himself, to
Squall's mortification) I'm a little tea pot, short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout. When I get all steamed up, then I shout! TIP ME OVER AND POUR ME OUT!!!!
(Luckily, before Lantis could sing it
for the next 30 minutes, Ferio comes in accompanied by Sakura and Syaoran.)
Ferio: Ah! Squall, my friend! How have
you been? Still getting married to
Mlle Shiva, I hear?
Squall: (nods head sadly) Yeah, and
she never talks to me.
Syaoran: I would wonder…he
doesn't talk much either.
Squall: What did you say?
Sakura: Syaoran says that he likes
your house.
Syaoran: I do?
Squall: He does, does he? Splendid. Why, back when I
was a little boy, I had…
Lantis: We don't want to hear your
story, Squall. Why don't you give
them tea? You had three cups set
out for them, didn't you?
Squall: Of course, of course. (shoots
Lantis a hideous glare) Come, do sit down.
Sakura: Why, thank you, Viscount
Squall.
Syaoran: You know, I heard that your
friend Irvine is getting married to…Fuu de Villefort.
Ferio: (began to sip tea until he
hears this and spits the tea out) WHAT?!
Lantis: Oh, is she the daughter of
Eagle Villefort and Alcyone? Hehe…what
a great couple those two make. Whatever
happened to Fuu's grandfather, Noirtier?
Sakura: Oh, he's still alive, and
hungry, and being taken care of by Fuu herself. Alcyone's only stepmother to Fuu. I hear she's obsessed with her son, Clef.
Lantis: How about Clef? Does he take care of his grandfather as well?
Squall: (laughs bitterly) No, of
course not, he's only a kid.
Clef: (from backstage) A KID?! WHO IS HE CALLING A KID?!
Lantis: And Eagle Villefort?
Syaoran: Well, he's still there,
the same old same old magistrate. Still
hanging people for their cheeseburgers. It's
fortunate that the mayor is also a cheeseburger collector, so in that case,
Eagle can't eat the cheeseburger himself.
Sakura: Then who eats it?
Syaoran: Why, Quistis de Boville
herself!
Squall: (also spits his tea back,
again) Whoa! Quisty! Eat all that cheeseburger?
Quistis: (from backstage) Hey! At least I'm not fruity!
Squall: I'm not fruity!
Quistis: (snicker)
Squall: Grr…
Lantis: Well, anyway, it's been
nice knowing all of you.
Sakura: Hey, you look familiar. Haven't I seen you before?
Syaoran: Duh, he was the one who—
Lantis: Oh, no, I'm sure you
haven't seen me before. Must be
your imagination. Well, I must be
going now. Bye bye!
Sakura: But we don't know your
name!
Lantis: It's L—the Count of Monte
Cephiro!
(Lantis leaves, this time, watching
to see if there are any spills on the floor. He was lucky, and didn't slip, that is, until he got backstage, where
he slipped and grabbed on the curtain, making a huge ripping noise that even the
audience heard.)
Squall: That's the new Count that
inhabits that house in that place where those trees don't grow anymore.
Syaoran: Really? He must be rich, then. What
do you say, Ferio?
Ferio: (still stunned with the fact
that Fuu had to marry Irvine) Fuu…she's…marrying Irvine…how could she?
Sakura: Don't worry, brother dear,
I'm sure it will work out. I
don't really think she like him anyway.
Ferio: That's not what I'm
worrying about. Oh, no, I'm
worried that he likes her…which is understandable because Irvine is such a
pervert sometimes.
(Weird voice comes)
Weird Voice: Hey! Don't speak about my Irvy so!
Squall: Oh, get over this, sheesh. Selphie should know that her Irvy likes Quistis better…
Syaoran: Can we not talk about who
likes who?
Squall: (looking hurt) Fine. I guess that's all you came here for, right? Tea?
Sakura: (looking sorry) And we are
terribly sorry for barging in today, since we didn't know you had another
guest.
(Sakura looks up, seeing Tomoyo
taping each move that the Card Mistress made. Laughing nervously, she looked back at Squall.)
Squall: So, I'll have Presea clean
this place up. (he rings the bell and Presea comes in, this time, though, you
could see her anger as she mutters to herself)
Presea: I'll ring up Presea to
bring the tea. I'll ring up
Presea to take away the tea. I'll
ring Presea up for all this crap that I could as well do myself but am lazy to
do.
Ferio: (overhears this and looks up)
Presea, is there a problem?
Presea: (smiling her pretty smile)
Oh, no, M. Morrel. No problem at
all. It's just that you haven't drunk your tea and I don't
like it when my tea goes to waste.
Ferio: Oh, okay. (takes the tea and
drinks it in one gulp, making him choke and cough for a while)
Syaoran: (pounding on Ferio's back)
Are you okay?
Ferio: OUCH! NOT TOO HARD! MY GOSH!
Sakura: Well, he's okay. Let's go, Ferio, Syaoran. We
shouldn't be bothering Squall when he is going to have a conflict with his
servant.
Squall: What do you mean conflict?
(Before anyone could answer, however,
Sakura dragged Syaoran and Ferio out of the door.)
Presea: (glares at Squall) I quit.
Squall: Quit? This is a play, how can you quit?
Presea: Like that. I quit. I'll work for the
mayor, but whoever I work for, it won't be YOU! I'll even work for your mother!
Squall: What's wrong with you?
Presea: What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?!?! Presea
this, Presea that, you just can't get enough of Presea doing things, can't
you! I'M LEAVING! TELL YOUR FATHER FOR ALL I CARE! (stomps out, throwing the
plastic tea set at Squall.)
Squall: (shrugs) Oh well, better get
another maid.
Scene 3
(We are now in the Count's house. Lantis is in the room, looking out the window.)
Lantis: TATRA!! TARTA!!
(Tatra and Tarta enter, looking a bit
peeved)
Tarta: Why can't you ring the bell?
Lantis: That's because I like
yelling better. Makes me feel
mighty and powerful.
Tatra: What do you want this time?
Lantis: Can one of you lasso two
stampeding horses?
Tatra: What do you think we are? Circus girls?
Tarta: I can, why would you want
someone to lasso a stampeding horse?
Lantis: Alright, Tarta, I want you to
stay outside with some rope and Tatra, I want you to brew that poisonous elixir
that usually cures me of my sickness. Come,
come, hurry up. No questions. I'm in a hurry.
Tatra: You're always in a hurry.
(A few minutes later, Tarta sees two
stampeding horses coming towards the house. As the horses and carriage near the house, Tarta flicks her rope and
lassoes the horses, making them stop right in front of the Count's house.)
Tatra: (was looking at a nearby
window) Wow…I didn't know she could do that.
Lantis: I didn't either.
Tatra: (gasps) How'd you get there?
Lantis: I heard the commotion, so I
came down here. Now I have to go
and see if the people inside would need assistance. Give me the potion.
Tatra: Oh, but, I'm…(Lantis
leaves) not done with it yet. Oh,
dear, if he gives it to one of those people, that person will be suffering from
headaches. Oh well, not like I
care.
(Just then, Alcyone comes out of the
carriage, holding Clef in her arms. She
looked disgusted.)
Lantis: Madam, that was quite a
scare, wasn't it?
Alcyone: You're telling me, look at
my son! He's half dead!
Lantis: Why don't you come in and
I'll have him revived?
Alcyone: Oh, no. You're not touching him. You
might poison him.
Lantis: GET INSIDE!
Alcyone: Okay, okay, no need to
scream at me.
Clef: (whispers) It's not like
I'm really gonna die, Alcyone. I'm
a sorcerer, I know when I'm getting poisoned or not.
Lantis: (snickers and leads Alcyone
and her son to his house, where Tatra was waiting) Tatra, where is the potion?
Tatra: Um…you have it.
Lantis: I do? (looks through his
pockets and sees the potion.) Oh,
ok. You can go now, I have no need
of you for a while. Go to a
carnival or something.
Tarta: YES!
Tatra: Thank you, Count. (the two
servants leave the mansion, dancing like maniacs)
Alcyone: Where's the potion?
Lantis: Oh, here. Let him drink the whole bottle.
(audience gasps)
Alcyone: (pours the bottle's
contents into Clef's mouth)
Clef: (sputters and stands upright)
WHAT IS THIS?!?! LANTIS!! HOW COULD YOU POISON ME LIKE THAT?!?!?
Lantis: You did revive, didn't you?
Clef: I wasn't dead! MORON!
Lantis: Hey, my name isn't Lantis. It's Count of Monte Cephiro.
Clef: This is the most horrible play
I've ever acted in! (turning to Alcyone) MOTHER! I'm going to leave now, if you don't mind. I'm not needed anymore! (stomps out of the stage, furious)
Alcyone: (stifles a laugh) Oh well.
(turns her charms on Lantis) So, how can I repay you for such acts
of…kindness, dear?
Hikaru: (screaming from backstage)
You watch it, sister! Better not
get too close!
Eagle: (also screaming from
backstage) Hey! I thought you were
my wife!
Lantis: (disgusted) Ew…I just
thought you needed to be saved, but if you really want me to get a reward, then
take this bottle and shove it down your throat.
Alcyone: WHAT?!
Lantis: Hehe…just kidding.
Alcyone: (turns her back and leaves)
Humph! You better be!
Scene 4
(Squall runs into the Count's room)
Squall: Yo, Lantis.
Lantis: I am not Lantis! For the last time…I am the Count of Monte Cephiro!
Squall: Oh, yeah, Count, my mother is
having a ball. You're invited to
come. You can meet the whole family
of Villeforts and Danglars. Hey,
maybe even Noirtier might show up.
Lantis: How can he? He's supposed to be paralyzed.
Squall: Then we'll put him on a
wheelchair and DRAG him there!
Lantis: Sometimes, Squall, you scare
the hell out of me.
Squall: GOOD!
Lantis: So, when is this?
Squall: In an hour or so.
Lantis: Ok, so I could visit my slave
Hikaru before I go. Would you like
to meet her?
Squall: Is she pretty?
Lantis: (glares at him) Don't you
dare hit on her. Come on…let's
go.
(they enter Hikaru's room, and they
see Hikaru playing with Mokona)
Hikaru: (blink blink) Hello, Lantis,
hello, Irvine.
Lantis: It's Count of Monte Cephiro!
Mokona: Pu pu pu!
Lantis: Why couldn't he have been
left behind? Hikaru, will you let
him out?
Hikaru: (looking apologetic at Mokona)
Sorry, Mokona. Lantis doesn't
like it when you interrupt him right now. Maybe
later, ok?
(Mokona leaves, kicking Lantis' leg
before he left, making Lantis limp to a seat.)
Squall: Hehe…that creature has the
better of you, Lantis.
Lantis: ARGH! MY NAME IS THE COUNT OF MONTE CEPHIRO!
Hikaru: (changing the subject) Why
are you two here?
Lantis: Oh, that was because I'm
supposed to have a local visit with you, and Squall came in when I was scheduled
to visit you. So, how you doin'?
Squall: The Count said that you were
a Greek slave. How did you end up
so?
Lantis: Actually, she was a Greek
princess when your no good father betrayed her father and then…their family
went downhill after that.
Hikaru and Squall: WHAT?!
Lantis: Oops…I didn't think I was
supposed to mention that right now. Forget
I said that.
Squall: Huh?
Hikaru: Forget what?
Lantis: I'm surrounded by morons.
Hikaru and Squall: HEY!
Lantis: Anyway, Hikaru, Squall
desperately wants to know your story on how you became a slave.
Squall: (giving Lantis a quizzical
look) No, I don't.
Lantis and Hikaru: (whispers) Yes,
you do.
Squall: Oh yeah. Hikaru, please tell me your boring story…um…I mean, please tell me
the story on how you became a slave after being betrayed by my father.
Lantis: You're not supposed to
mention that.
Squall: Well, tell me the story
already.
(Lantis, Squall, and Hikaru sat down,
making themselves comfortable)
Hikaru: Ok, here we go…It was a
nice day when my mother came to me and said that I had to go to school. Back then, I was only 4 years old. My
going away present back then was my dog, Hikari. He was such the cutest thing, and he's still with me, although I
couldn't take care of him during the time I had to go to school. Now, when I got to my school, the teachers were so very nice, and they
treated me too much like royalty, and I didn't like that…(4 hours
later)…When I finally turned 14, my father was betrayed. That's it.
Squall: (looking blank) Um…Hikaru,
you told us your whole entire life, and that's all you could say about your
father's betrayal? That he was
betrayed?
Hikaru: Yeah, why not?
Lantis: (slaps his forehead) You were
supposed to talk more about your later life than your early ones! We don't care about your dog Hikari or the fact that one of your
teachers was gay! We wanted to hear
details! DETAILS!
Hikaru: You want the later part of my
life? Then I will tell it to
you…It was then when I was 14…
Squall: Not right now, Hikaru. I have to get home to get ready with the ball. I only have an hour left.
Lantis: Huh? Oh, yeah, you're mother's party. Hey, isn't your mother Umi?
Squall: Yeah, what about Umi?
Lantis: Oh, nothing. Just asking…since she seems to be married to someone, and when she was
young, she promised that she wouldn't marry anyone but Edmond Dantes.
Squall: Who the heck is Edmond?
Lantis: I have no idea. What's your father's name?
Squall: Ascot.
Hikaru and Lantis: WHAT?!?!
Squall: (blushing) I know, I know. He looks more like my kid brother than my father.
Lantis: (laughing so hard) No, he
looks more like your son than your father! HAHAHAHA!!
Squall: (bringing his fist up) I'm
gonna smack you if you don't stop teasing me.
Hikaru: Hehe…now, now, you should
hurry, Squall. You wouldn't want
your…er…father upset, would you? Go
on, leave.
Squall: We'll settle this later,
Count.
Lantis: (still laughing hysterically)
Ascot: (from backstage, being
restrained by Ferio) What? Does
Lantis have a problem with my age? Let
go of me, Ferio. I won't
certainly harm him. I'm only
going to have Mokona mentally break him down…
Ferio: (from backstage) You'll get
your chance…now hush.
(Squall leaves)
Hikaru: Now, look what you did. He invited you to a party and this is how you thank him.
Lantis: Well, he should have invited
me to a party. After how he treated
me yesterday about the tea time, he should have done more than invite me to a
party! HE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME SOME
TEA!
Hikaru: KNOCK IT OFF!
Lantis: (whimpers to the corner of
the room) It isn't fair…why are you sticking up for Squall?
Hikaru: I am not going to take this
anymore, Lantis. I want to leave. You no longer need a slave. For goodness' sake, I could work for Squall instead.
Lantis: NO! Hikaru!
Hikaru: Bye, Lantis.
Lantis: AND IT'S COUNT OF MONTE
CEPHIRO!
(Hikaru leaves, and Presea enters)
Presea: (says brightly) So, Hikaru
quits too. Hey, you need another
servant? I'm handy, if you want.
Lantis: Oh well, yeah, whatever.
Squall: (from backstage) HEY! THAT'S MY LINE!
Lantis: SHUT UP! (to Presea) Okay, Presea, why don't you dress yourself and head on out
to the party, so you could announce my appearance.
Presea: As you wish, sir.
Scene 5
(At the ball, an hour later, a bunch
of people are walking around or dancing. Fuu
is there, pushing her grandfather's wheelchair around and smiling at people. Ferio approaches her.)
Ferio: Fuu, I hear you're engaged
to Irvine. Are you really?
Fuu: (sighs) I told you, Ferio, I
couldn't do anything about that. My
grandfather probably can, but he can't speak, and I can't understand a word
he's saying.
Yukito: …(shakes and blinks eyes
vigorously, making him look like he's got a twitch)
Fuu: Oh, look, I think he's hungry.
Ferio: He's always hungry.
Yukito: …(to himself) ~ And I
thought I was a moron. ~
Ferio: (stooping to Yukito) You
hungry, Noirtier? Hey, you look
almost like Lantis' dad.
Yukito: … ~ Geeze, could these
people get the hint? I want to go
to the bathroom already! ~
Fuu: Um…I think he's thirsty.
Yukito: … ~ ARGH! ~
Ferio: He looks desperate. I know! He needs to use the
men's room!
Yukito: … ~…Too late. ~
Fuu: Oh, right. I'll bring him there.
Ferio: Are you okay? You can't go to the men's room! You're a lady! L-A-D-Y! Idiot!
Fuu: Noone's ever called me an
idiot before…unless, of course, you count the time when I saved you from that
monster and you called me an idiot…but that was a long time ago.
Ferio: Sheesh, you still remember
that?
Fuu: Of course I do! It reminds me how helpless you are without me.
Ferio: (sweatdrop) Oh, brother.
Yukito: … ~ And they're still
talking. ~
(while this conversation was going
on, another conversation was going on between Squall and Shiva, well, it was
sort of a conversation)
Squall: So, how are you?
Shiva: …
Squall: Look, I know you don't like
me that much, but really, you're not even going to speak to me?
Shiva: (stare)
Squall: Oh, come on, you could at
least say something.
Shiva: …
Squall: How about telling me how much
you hate me?
Shiva: (blink stare) …
Squall: This is hopeless. Why do I bother? I don't
want to marry you either you know.
Shiva: …What?
Squall: Yeah, you heard me. This was all my father's fault.
Shiva: You don't want to marry me?
Squall: Nope.
Shiva: MOTHER! FATHER!
(Lafarga and Caldina rush to their
daughter)
Caldina: WHAT?!
Shiva: (cheerfully) Squall de Morcerf
doesn't want to marry me! This
calls for a celebration!
Lafarga: Huh? You were getting married? Hey,
why didn't anyone tell me about this?
Caldina and Shiva: (stare disgusted
at Lafarga) Men.
(Ascot walk towards them, followed by
Umi and Lantis)
Lantis: Now, now, what's all this
commotion?
Squall: (shaking head) Shiva is
having a celebration because I told her that I didn't want to marry her in the
first place.
Ascot and Umi: WHAT?!
Squall: (glaring at his parents) You
heard me. She doesn't even talk
to me…why would I want someone who doesn't talk to me?
(Quistis overhears and comes in)
Quistis: That's because most of the
time when someone tries to talk to you, what do you say? (mimicking Squall)
"Talk to the wall."
Squall: (indignantly) I do not.
Irvine: (also coming up) Oh yes, you
do.
Squall: How did you get here? You're supposed to be in England!
Irvine: Um…I came back?
Umi: Oh, geeze. Is this all it's about?
(Tarta and Tatra hurry in)
Tatra: Are any of the Villeforts in
the house? Eagle? Alcyone? Fuu?
(Fuu steps up)
Fuu: I'm Fuu de Villefort. What is it?
Tarta: Miss, there has been an
accident. Your grandmother has
died.
Fuu: Grandmother?
(Eagle and Alcyone push people to get
by)
Alcyone: Mother is murdered?
Eagle: Who's your mother?
Tatra: Hurry!
Umi: (looking at Lantis) What a bad
day it is today. I shouldn't have
planned a ball at this time.
Lantis: It wasn't your fault,
really, madame.
Umi: You really think so?
Ascot: Will you two quit it? Umi, you're not supposed to know that he's Lantis.
Lantis: I AM THE COUNT OF MONTE
CEPHIRO!
Ascot and Umi: ALRIGHT! WE GOT IT!!
(Ferio taps Fuu on the shoulder)
Ferio: Hey, what about your
grandfather? He seems to be sitting
there patiently.
Fuu: Oh! (begins to push Yukito around the wheelchair again) Sorry, Grandpappy.
Yukito: … ~ Grandpappy? Where do these people get this? ~
Quistis: (sighs) I guess I'm gonna
have to report this. Come on,
Eagle. I should think you need to call the Doctor right about now.
Eagle: Why? Mother is dead. What is the
doctor going to do? Operate on her?
Alcyone: No, you idiot. They're going to do an autopsy.
Eagle: You shouldn't be talking,
old hag. Aren't you obsessed with
your son? Where is he now?
Alcyone: (remembers Clef) Oh
sh(beep)! Clef! My son! (runs out, looking for Clef)
Caldina: Um…Cheers?
Shiva: …I should be getting home
now…Bye bye.
(Shiva leaves, followed by Lafarga,
who is still asking his daughter how she got engaged in the first place. Caldina follows, walking with Fuu, who is pushing Noirtier on
the wheelchair. The others stand
watching the people leave. Quistis
also grabs Eagle and pulls him out the door.)
Squall: Well, that's a wrap.
(looking at Lantis) What are you still doing here?
Lantis: Um…What is Irvine still
doing here?
Ferio: Hey, what am I still doing
here?
Ascot: (getting angry) That's it! Leave! All of
you! Party's over! Go watch a basketball game or something!
Umi: Ascot? You shouldn't lose your temper like that.
Ascot: Yeah? And who's going to stop me?
Lantis: Tatra, Tarta, I think we
should go now. I have other plans
to go through anyway.
(Lantis leaves, bringing his two
servants with him. Ferio and Irvine
shrugs and leaves)
Ascot: (sighing with relief)
Ahh….Peace and harmony at last…
Umi: Peace and quiet? Listen, you, I didn't know you were marrying my son off to some
unsociable girl!
Shiva: (from offstage) Well I never!
Squall: (stares) Mother, you mean,
you never knew that I was getting married?
Umi: Ascot, can you please explain
this?
Ascot: Um…hehe…it was a good
deal?
Umi: You never told me!
Squall: Yeah, you never told her!
Umi: Of all the dirtiest, most
annoying…
Squall: Craziest, freakiest…
Umi and Ascot: Shut up, Squall!
Squall: Okay, okay, I'll stay out
of this, sheesh. Parents, they
never want you to be in the middle of arguments.
Ascot: Look, I can explain.
Umi: You better be able to.
Ascot: (giggling nervously) Well,
Caldina was like a sister to me…and Lafarga asked in Caldina's account. So, I couldn't refuse. Would
you have been able to?
Squall and Umi: Yes!
Ascot: Be quiet, Squall.
Squall: Mom, tell him to let me speak
my own opinions.
Umi: Do what your father tells you
and be quiet.
Squall: But…
Umi and Ascot: SHUT UP!
(Squall cries like a baby and runs
out of the room)
Ascot: Now, where were we?
Umi: We were debating the fact that
you didn't tell me about Squall's engagement to Shiva de Danglars.
Ascot: Oh yeah. Well, I'm the man of the house! What
I say goes and I said that he was engaged to Shiva!
Umi: Well, I don't think Shiva and
her parents want her to marry our son.
Ascot: Oh well. Can we go now? I'm hungry.
Umi: Why did I marry you anyway?
Ascot: Because Selphie wrote in the
script that we were supposed to marry.
Umi: (glares) I would have been
better off marrying Lantis Dantès.
Ascot: (mutters) At least you got his
name right this time.
