Cupcake and Autolycus in “Men in Pink”

I'm so sorry.

Think nothing of it, my dear. Why, the world is just a chaotic stage, just teaming with activity. A little bump-and-grind here and there is to be expected.

Well, gee-- I never thought of it that way, Mister. I guess you're right.

Why, where are my manners? Huh! I forgot to introduce myself. Pharsiferus Von Baklava, Esquire, at your service.

Ahh! Golly! I have never had an esquire at my service before. I'm Cupcake. Oh-- is that your dog?

Why, yes it is. Cupcake, meet Creampuff. I named her after my greatest culinary creation.

You-- invented the Creampuff?

I certainly did. I own a string of bakeries all across Greece. Oh, gods forgive me, but I am a slave to my sweet-tooth.

Ahh-- you don't say.

Oh, I do-be-do-- but the money, the castles-- that can't mean a thing to me until I know all the animals of the world are safe and happy. I guess that's why I turned my gardens into a-- sanctuary for abused wildlife.

You mean-- you care about animals that much?

How could I not? Just look at that face.

Oooh.

There, there-- I rescued Creampuff, here, from a band of murderous pirates.

Oh, my. That sounds so dangerous.

It was, Cupcake-- very-- very dangerous.

Oh-- wow. It's not every day that I meet an-- animal-loving, dare-devil, pastry mogul with a sweet-tooth like mine.
