[aided by a larger-than-life-size Greta Garbo cutout at a movie theater, Chubby practices his romantic technique while quoting from an adult love letter; a little girl echoes but misquotes his studied lines]
Chubby : Oh, my darling, can you hear my pleas in my whispers?
Echo : Darling, I hear the fleas in your whiskers.
Chubby : [exasperated but continues] If love is like a rose, I will pick my rose in a bud.
Echo : If love is like a rose, I will stick my nose in the mud.
Chubby : [pressing on] My heart is filled with joy. I wanna trip and dance.
Echo : My heart is filled with joy. I want to rip my pants.
[Chubby finally gives up the effort]
