DialogueEdit

A Love Embiggened Pt. 1Edit

Character	Dialogue
	"Manjula! My beautiful yet critical wife! You have finally returned to me!"
	"Oh Apu! I have missed you so! Have you gained weight?"
	"Ah, finally my neck feels at home with you breathing down it."
	"Where are the children? Are the still eight of them?"
	"You'll pleased to know I didn't lose a single one!" "For more than 48 hours..." "Plus we even briefly had nine babies, before I realized Hans Moleman was scamming me for free formula."

A Love Embiggened Pt. 2Edit

Character	Dialogue
	"There is something I must get off my chest, Manjula, other than this surprisingly heavy infant."
	"You know you may tell me anything, my dear husband. And I will punish you accordingly."
	"Well, Manjula. While you were gone... I have felt certain ...urges."
	"Oh no."
	"Well, as you know, every man has needs. Needs that cannot be served when his wife is away."
	"Oh no!"
	"I would like you to take care of the octuplets so I can finally get work done at the Kwik-E-Mart."
	"Oh thank god! I thought I was going to have to make you sleep on the couch for cheating." "Instead you can sleep on the couch for worrying me."

A Love Embiggened Pt. 3Edit

Character	Dialogue
	"Apu, I just got back and already you are spending all your time at work. I want a chance to reconnect as a couple."
	"I don't spend all my time at work - occasionally I relax in the Brown House."
	"Who is this Brown Howz and why do you relax in her?!"
	"No, no, Brown House is a place, not a lady."
	"Oh, what a humorous misunderstanding."
	"Perhaps we could relax in the Brown House together?"
	"And now you want me to participate in your adultery!"
	"Please, I have not cheated on you! It's not even an option on my job list!"

A Love Embiggened Pt. 4Edit

Character	Dialogue
	"I have never been so angry at my husband!" "If two strangers married by distant relatives for economic and social gain can't have perfect marital bliss, who can?" "I need to teach Apu not to take me for granted." "Perhaps I could ask Marge Simpson what she does with her husband, and then do the opposite.

A Love Embiggened Pt. 5Edit

StartEdit

Character	Dialogue
	"I've come to a decision Marge, and I couldn't have done it without you! I'm going to leave Apu!"
	"WHAT? You just sat down! At least have a finger sandwich."
	"I saw all I needed to see. Don't worry, I'll go back to him when he's learned his lesson." "Until then, I'll stay with you. Point me to your nearest guest suite and your supply of saffron."
	"Hmmm. Do you know how long it will take for Apu to realize the error of his ways?"
	"We Hindus think on a longer timeline than mere days or weeks or years."
	"D'OH!"
	"While I am here, I must request that you do not drink alcohol since it is against my religion."
	"Double D'OH!"

EndEdit

Character	Dialogue
	"Please, Manjula, come home! Think of the children and all their unchanged diapers."
	"Forget it Apu! Don't except to see me again until you've learned to respect and honor me!"

A Love Embiggened Pt. 6Edit

StartEdit

Character	Dialogue
	"This is horrible! How did I get anything done with these eight little monsters hanging off my every limb?!"
	"I hate to say it Apu, but you brought this upon yourself."
	"I, too, hate that you have said that. It was very hurtful and did not solved any of my problems."
	"Think of Manjula. I know from experience how stressful it can be married to a work-a-holic."
	"How can you joke at a time like this?" "Please, Marge, tell me what to do. And hold at least one of these babies."

EndEdit

Character	Dialogue
	"I will take your advice Marge. I will humble myself before Manjula and hope she finds it in herself to forgive me… again."
	"And…?"
	"I will put her needs above the Kwik… the Kwik… don’t make me say it! The Kwik-E-Mart! I’m sorry my sweet mistress!"

A Love Embiggened Pt. 7Edit

StartEdit

Character	Dialogue
	"My dear Manjula, the lightness of my being! I beg of you to give me another chance. Tell me how to please you!"
	"It’s not like I just have a list of things I want you to do."
	"I understand, but -"
	"Number one: make them bring back Cookie Crisp cereal." "Number two: have Disney get an Indian princess. I’m tired of being lumped in with Jasmine."
	"To be fair, you briefly owned a pet tiger."
	"Number three: take time off work to spend with your kids."
	"If you don’t mind, I think I’ll start with number three." "What are you going to do in the meantime?"
	"I’ll participate in what I've been told is America’s pastime."

EndEdit

Character	Dialogue
	"Ok Apu, all you have to do is not lose any babies for one hour. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7… oh dear."

A Love Embiggened Pt. 8Edit

Character	Dialogue
	"Apu, I’ve thought long and hard and I’m willing to take you back… as soon as you finish these thirteen additional tasks."
	"I already agreed to let you call me Sanjay once in bed. Isn't that enough?"
	"I simply ask that we take some time together and reconnect as husband and wife."
	"I know what that’s code for. An over-the-top romantic gesture it is!"

A Love Embiggened Pt. 9Edit

Character	Dialogue
	"What a lovely meal! I can’t believe how delicious they can make vegan foam."
	"I’m stuffed. I couldn't breathe another scented air."
	"And that dessert of rehydrated water with Manjula written in frozen rehydrated water on top!" "And best of all, you haven’t mentioned the Kwik-E-Mart once."
	"The Kwik-E-Mart is fine. Unattended. So alone. Probably frightened. Did it just get hotter in here? Is anyone else having trouble breathing?"
	*sigh* "The only problem with forgiving you is that we have to back to our normal lives."
	"The night is young. We don’t have to go back just yet."
	"Make-out Point?"
	"I was thinking of an even more romantic spot. Romantic and well-lit and constantly threatened by thieves…"

A Love Embiggened Pt. 10Edit

Character	Dialogue
	"This dance in the Kwik-E-Mart parking lot reminds me of our honeymoon… also in the Kwik-E-Mart parking lot." "At least this time you got the feral cat population under control."
	"Yes, although the wolf that ate them is still at large. But I’m sure the bear arriving next week will solve that problem."
	"Wait… Where are you going Apu?"
	"Now that I've won back your love, I can FINALLY return to work. Americans’ need to eat themselves to death stops for no one."
	"Have you guys made up yet? I need pork rinds."
	"Right this way, loyal customer. With our current promotion you can buy three bags of pork rinds for only four times the cost."
