Alex: "… and then the saucier decided to put the fire out with the garlic sauce."
Rica: "That explains the smell. I'm sure we'll be able to get it out of your hair. Eventually."
Alex: "I went ahead and canceled my plans with Emma just in case. I didn't want to offend her even though she was already there."
Rica: "How very thoughtful of you. "
Rica: -spying the beach while the Grims sleep- Oh hello… Well well River McIrish is mourning the loss of her love, Christopher Steel.
-steepling of fingers, moves fingertips in a wave pattern against each other, evil laugh- Wilbur will be mine! -cough-
Anne Song: "Ow that hurt."
Population of Sunset Valley: "Baby is coming! Baby is coming!"
Rica: "Artie, why do you look so sad?"
Artie: "In a way, I am. I have a surprise for you and the family."
Rica: "Oh? Well you know the family is asleep."
Artie: "I know. I'll tell everyone later - I'm having a water slide delivered for us to play with."
Rica: "That's the big surprise?"
Artie: "No but it's the perfect setting for news."
Rica: "Oh OK. Well don't miss your limo or we'll have to get your limo to come get you."
Alicia: "Hey Grampa. Come over here."
Artie: "Yes Alicia, what can I do for you sweetie?"
Alicia: -tips the bucket of ice water-
Artie: "AHHH! So cold! So cold!"
Rica: -giggles-
Alicia: -laughing- "I got you, Grampa!"
Artie: -shivering- "Yes you did. Now come on down. Grampa wants to give you a big ole hug."
Alicia: "I don't think so. Maybe you should get changed first."
Artie: -glow- "Family, friends, gnomes - can everyone come over here real quick. I want to share a surprise with you."
Angelica: "What is it, Dad?"
Malcolm: -sliding down slide- "Whee."
Cassandra: "Just let me beat Alicia real quick, Uncle Artie."
Artie: "Guys, Last night was my last night as Emperor of Evil. I'm retiring, right now with all of you here with me. I want all of us to be friends again or for the first time."
Angelica: "But Daddy.. that means you've lost the glow."
Artie: "I know, Angel, but it's for the best. "
Paparazzi: "I have to go tell my boss."
Malcolm: "I think it's time to eat."
Michael: -thinks- "Artie really has changed if he'll retire to be closer to Alicia."
Artie: "Let's all go out to eat. My treat."
Angelica: "I'm going to stay home and sleep. I was up late last night getting some more deathfish."
Everyone else went with Artie though. It was getting late so there was no fancy dinner to be had but on a Saturday night, they crowded Hogan's Diner and enjoyed each other's company.
