"Alone, again," Merton whined, holding a trembling hand to his lips.

Lori looked at her watch, and cursed Tommy.

"Am I asking too much, Lori? Truly? All that I want is a woman as brilliant and charming as I." He paused. "And hot. Yes--brilliant, and charming, and hot. A true soulmate."

"Merton," Lori said.

"I fear that I'm doomed to spend my life alone! Misunderstood, and unappreciated. All true geniuses do suffer, I suppose, but this," Merton made a sweeping gesture before his body, "is too fine a specimen of manhood to be so cruelly neglected! Where is she, Lori?
