Woman (offscreen/from the woman): "MISTER CHURCHILL, YOU'RE DRUNK."
Winston Churchill: "MADAM, YOU ARE UGLY. BUT, TOMORROW, I WILL BE SOBER."
Woman: "JESUS! WHY... WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT? WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE?!"
Winston Churchill: "I'M SORRY, BESSIE. PLEASE DON'T CRY. GOD, I HOPE THIS DOESN'T MAKE THINGS WEIRD BETWEEN US."
Votey:
A close-up of the woman's face, visibly upset.

A green-backgrounded SMBC comic. The title across the top reads: "Do you ever wonder what happened after a famous quote was spoken?" The single panel shows a tuxedoed, bald elderly man (Winston Churchill) talking to a brown-haired woman, with their exchange in speech bubbles. The woman says "Mister Churchill, you're drunk." Churchill delivers the famous retort: "Madam, you are ugly. But, tomorrow, I will be sober." The woman, distressed, replies "Jesus! Why... why would you say that? Why would you say that in front of everyone?!" Churchill, now looking guilty and apologetic, backpedals: "I'm sorry, Bessie. Please don't cry. God, I hope this doesn't make things weird between us." The joke deflates the witty historical insult by imagining its awkward emotional fallout. Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of the woman's tearful, angry face shouting "Fuck you, Winston!"
