A/N: You probably won't understand this if you aren't familiar with the
painting "American Gothic" by Grant Wood. just so you're aware of that!!

BOTH: *standing in front of a camera*
BILL: Okay, it's set! Ready? One. two. three.
BILL & MARGORY: *smiling* CHEESE!!
*nothing happens*
MARGORY: Bill, I don't think it worked.
BILL: Maybe it's a little slow. One. two. three.
BOTH: *smiling* CHEESE!!
*nothing happens*
BILL: Okay, let's forget the counting. It'll go off soon. We'll be ready
for it. Smile!
*they both stand there smiling all cheesy-like*

~One hour later~

BOTH: *still smiling*
MARGORY: Bill, we've been standing here for an hour. My cheeks are getting
sore! Can't you just push the button?
BILL: *pushes the button. Nothing happens. Pushes it again. Still nothing.
Pushes it frantically. Nothing.* Marge, I think it's jammed. But it should
go off any minute now.

~Another hour later~

BOTH: *still smiling*
BILL: Any minute now.

~Yet another hour later~

BOTH: *still smiling*
BILL: Any minute now.
MARGORY: Bill, can't I just rest my cheeks for a moment? All this smiling
is killing them!
BILL: No!! We can't risk it!
MARGORY: Bill, if it doesn't turn out we can always take another-
BILL: NEVER!!
MARGORY: Fine.

~Can it be?? Yes!! Another hour later~

BOTH: *still smiling*
MARGORY: Bill, if I don't stop smiling soon, my face is going to be stuck
like this for the rest of my life! Now do you want me to look like this
*with a psychotic smile on her face* for the rest of my life? Huh? Do you
Bill? Do you?
BILL: *slightly frightened looking but still smiling* Uh, you're right!
Let's take a break from smiling. Just for a moment though.
MARGORY: Thank Heavens!
BOTH: *stop smiling*
*FLASH!*
MARGORY: It took the picture didn't it.
BILL: Yup.
MARGORY: Well, it can't be that bad. I'm going in the house.
BILL: Yup.
BOTH: *walk away to their house*
