Artie: "Agnes.. I'm home.. You still awake."
Agnes: "Yes, I waited just like your note asked. What's this about Artie?"
Artie: "I wanted you to still be awake and I know because it's after midnight so it's not your birthday anymore but the party wasn't even close to ending when I had to leave for work."
Agnes: "Artie.. it's 3 in the morning. I would appreciate you getting to the point."
Artie: "Right sorry.. I got you something for your birthday."
Artie: "Agnes.. I know you're exhausted and I know you're still mad at me. I know you noticed the other day when I was sick. I know you were glaring at me from around your easel because I had been gone the day before and again that morning and here I was getting sick like I had been drinking. I wasn't drinking. I wasn't out with anyone else. I've been working hard to get a promotion at work."
Agnes: "Go on.. find your point."
Artie: "Aggie.. for your birthday I went to visit Geoffrey Landgraab and had him help me change."
Agnes: "What do you mean change?"
Artie: "Well you see. I did some research. As I'm the founder of a dynasty, I'm unable to be SWAPped. I can't change who I am. I will always be evil and insane. But with Geoffrey's and the hospitals help, I think I'm going to be a better husband and father at least. "
Agnes: "What all did they do to you?"
Artie: "I don't even know for sure. I know that my lifetime goal is something completely different now. I want to reach the top of my career. I know being a criminal doesn't seem like important work to you but it makes me happy and If I become the head guy, that would make me very happy. I would only work three days a week and I would be able to spend a lot of time with you and our children. "
Agnes: "Why?"
Artie: "I didn't like you being mad at me. I didn't like seeing you hurt. I started this challenge thinking of you as a coin purse that had to be wooed. But even from the first day I thought you were beautiful with or without money. And as time has passed I've come to realize that you being a hopeless romantic may have made you fall for me but it's probably what made me fall in love with you too."
Rica: Sorry folks.. getting way too mushy for me over there.. so here's a shot of what I saw at the park! This is one way to read two books at one time.
Rica: "Angel.. what are you doing?"
Angelica: "Malcolm invited me over and now he's not here so I decided to fish in the pond out back."
Rica: "That's very.. tame of you."
Angelica: "I'm only fishing because I sold all the others I had. I need something to throw in his bed before I leave."
Rica: "That's just wrong. Maybe you took too long before he had to go to work at the graveyard."
Angelica: "Maybe he should have thought of that before I got invited over."
Rica: "Run.. Artie.. Run. Super Villian Artie to the.. hrm.. rescue doesn't work. I'll have to work on something."
Artie: "Shut it woman."
Rica: "Nice new threads by the way."
Rica: "Ut oh.. is that pink bows I see in that cop car?"
Angelica: "Hi Rica.."
Rica: "You got arrested for being out after curfew at the neighbor's house didn't you?"
Angelica: -sigh- "Yes…"
Rica: "Your mother is going to kill you."
Rica: "Another cop car! Artie what in the world?"
Artie: "I've been doing this job for weeks and just when I need the promotion I get arrested. I can't believe this. I blame Geoffrey Landgraab."
Rica: "You were the one who asked him to do it!"
Agnes: "Angelica - How could you do this? All I've ever asked is that you guys at least come home before curfew."
Angelica: "Whoa.. I was on my way home when the cops picked me up. Rica tell her. "
Rica: "Hey she's using full names don't pull me into this! But yeah Aggie. She was on her way home when the cop stopped her."
Angelica: "I was just visiting like you said I could. I was fishing and lost track of time."
Agnes: "Oh yea. What about the phone call I just got about what you were doing with those fish?"
Angelica: "That's Nancy's fault for trying to sleep in Malcolm's bed!"
Agnes: "Get in that house young lady. You are grounded!"
Rica: "Oh Artie.. I can't believe you got arrested."
Artie: "I know! I can't either. Agnes is so not going to be happy about this."
Rica: "She's already not happy."
Artie: "In the words of a young Alex Grim… Aw man."
Police Officer: "Will you shut up already and get in here so I can process you"
