A red-haired woman in a pink shirt stands over a man sprawled on the floor and aims a pistol at him, demanding: "MAKE WITH THE ROMANCE! NOW!!" The panicked man blurts, "UH! UH! YOUR EYES ARE LIKE F**KIN' TWILIGHT! THERE, I SAID TWILIGHT! THAT'S ROMANTIC!" She presses on: "MORE! NOW!!" A caption beneath reads: "This would've been easier if I knew who she was." The joke: he's being forced at gunpoint to improvise romance for a woman he doesn't even recognize. Votey (aftercomic): an extreme close-up of the sweating, strained man's face as he keeps frantically grasping for romantic words, shouting, "Tulips! Fuckin' tulips! Tulips!"
