- I'm not an elitist.

- You're an elitist.

Kiss me, elitist.

Mmm, this cheese isn't bad.

- Are you seducing me?

- Huh-uh, I would never do such a thing.

Well, um, it's too bad for you.

I can't have sex right now

because I have a lot of work to do.

- You always have work to do.

- Yeah, so we have money to spend.

- Right.

- # Money to spend. #

Aw.

Isn't this how

the Paris Hilton video got started?

No, I think it was...

Oh, you... bastard!

Oh, where's my towel?!

Oh!

You are dead!

- You are so bad.

- Bad...

do you mean like

"bad good" or "bad bad"?

I mean like bad,

nasty, evil bad.

You're supposed to be

a pastor, you know.

Yeah, I'm Lutheran,

not a Catholic.

Well, I am a doctor,

not a whore.

Say happy anniversary

- to the camera, will you?

- No.

So we have something

to remember when we're old,

decrepit and farting

all over each other.

We're not gonna be farting

all over each other. That's disgusting!

We're gonna be farting

all over each other.

We're gonna die

in a conflagration of farts.

- Yeah, your farts.

- Somebody's gonna light a match

and we're gonna go...

Not my farts.

Come on, say happy anniversary

to the camera for posterity's sake.

Happy anniversary. And now

you can take the camera out of here

because it is supposed to be for my work

because I've spent a lot of money on it.

I thought it was supposed

to be soft-core porn?

No?

- I can't believe...

- I can't believe how sexy you are.

Take your clothes off.

I thought you'd never ask!

Get in here.

Is that the dog?

- Why does he always do this?

- Hegel, fermez la bouche.

David,

please, with the camera.

I feel like I'm on

"The Real World" or something.

"The Real World"?

Where's Emily?

Oh, isn't that

the most precious thing?

It's not precious. It's weird.

It's not weird...

the two of them in bed together?

They're getting too old for this.

It's the cutest thing

I've ever seen.

"The Story

of the Dragon and the Paper Bag,"

by Micky Powell.

"Once upon a time,

in a land far far away,

there lived the most hideous

two-headed dragon

in all of history.

And this dragon had

this dream of eating

all the boys

and all the girls in town.

In fact,

'twas more than a dream...

'twas a plan.

On Halloween next,

when all the boys and all the girls

wear their paper-bag masks

to school,

the dragon decided that he was going

to wear his own paper-bag mask.

And, thus disguised,

he set forth

for the schoolyard.

On the schoolyard,

the schoolkids were surprised

by the sight

of their new student.

'You're too tall,' they said.

'You have two heads,'

said another child.

'You can't be one of us.

You must be the dragon.'
