A two-panel comic titled "Movie phrases don't work in real life." In the main panel, a smiling brown-haired man earnestly puts a hand to his own chest while speaking to a brown-haired woman facing him. He says, "Don't you see? There is no alimony. The alimony... why... it's in your HEART." parodying the sappy movie line about love being in your heart. In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the same man, now deadpan, who adds, "Also child support." undercutting the romantic delivery with the reality that the legal obligations still exist.
