{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|WHAT?!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Mindy was helping me plan a romantic picnic on the beach but the beach was dangerous and the champagne was gross but surprisingly still very drinkable.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|But what about the date you had with her at that restaurant?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|We were picking up food for dinner tonight, but we knew the only way to keep me from eating it all on the way home, was for me to eat a huge lunch at the restaurant.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Right now, while we're strolling, Mindy is setting up a romantic picnic dinner at our house, with no wild dogs, or bums. Unless she really strays from the plan we made.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|Oh, Homer, you are such a good Valentine! Thank you!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|I'm sorry Dad. It's just the dialogue between you and Mindy was so... misleading. Almost intentionally so.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Misleading?! You're crazy. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to leave your mother.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|What?!}}
