CAROLE: (fawning) Don't be modest, it's stunning! It's just so, so …
BELLE: Ugly?
CAROLE: Yes!
BELLE: You're just saying that!
CAROLE: No, it's really horrible!
BELLE: You're so sweet!
CAROLE: You must, must tell me where you got it!

BOB: Everyone! We just received a certified letter from Phashion
Magazine!
BELLE: The Phashion Magazine?
BOB: Yes!
HUMBUG: Don't keep us in suspense! What did they say?
BOB: (clears his throat and reads) "For the tenth year in a row, your
sweaters have been named the ugliest sweaters in America!"
(Everyone cheers.)
