Hey, cute.

Long distance? I want Miss Kim McAfee,

Sweet Apple, 135, Sweet Apple, Ohio.

Marge, isn't it amazing what a woman

has to do to get a man to marry her?

You mean you doped

Albert's mother?

No, but if this doesn't work,

that's my next move.

What, Operator?

Oh, the line's busy.

Never mind. I'll try later.

Thank you.

Oh, Marge, right now there's a kid

named Kim McAfee in Sweet Apple, Ohio...

gabbing on the telephone.

Little does she realize

I'm about to make her immortal.

- Hello?

- Hello, Urse. This is Kim.

It I don't tell somebody,

I'm just gonna burst.

So, Ursula, you are

the very first to know.

I just got pinned

by Hugo Peabody.

Oh, no! Kim McAfee, you didn't!

You really got pinned?

You mean you and Hugo have

a permanent understanding?

Uh-huh. Oh,

it's Hugo and I forever.

Crazy! Crazy!

Tell me, Kim,

how do you absolutely feel...

in your deepest secret soul?

It's like...

It's like I've been reborn.

It's like all of my lite until

this very moment I was nothing.

Kim, I must use the phone.

I've got to call Grandma.

In a second, Mom.

Hey, listen, Ursula.

I'm gonna have to get off.

Where was I?

- You were nothing.

- Oh, yeah.

And now I'm alive, fulfilled.

Now I know what

it means to be a woman.

It should only happen to me.

Kim, where did he pin you?

On the backseat. Oh, bless

that lovely yellow school bus.

- Kim, hurry, please.

- Hang up, so I can spread the word.

Okay, bye, Urse.
