Scene:  Two amoebas, sitting in a jar of fluid.

Amoeba 1:  Oh Julie, I love you.

Julie the Amoeba:  Oh Billy, I love you too!

Billy the Amoeba:  You know, today is a special day.  And because of that,
I've gotten you something I know you'll love!

Julie the Amoeba:  Chocolate?

Billy the Amoeba:  Yes.  And Flowers!  And gems!!

Julie the Amoeba:  Billy, your the best Amoeba husband an Amoeba could ever
have!

Billy the Amoeba:  Oh Julie, if you only knew how special your one cell is
to me!

Julie the Amoeba:  You know, Billy, they said it couldn't last. All the
other Amoebas... you know, laughing at us, telling us that love didn't work
with Amoebas, that we were destined to split and split again.  But they were
wrong!

Billy the Amoeba:  Well you know, all that's true, but you got me, and baby
I got you.

Julie, Billy:  Babe!  I got you babe!  I got you Babe!

A quartet of parameciums spring up.

Parameciums:  They say our love won't pay the rent, by the end of the week
our money's all been spent!

Julie the Amoeba:  What?  No money?

Billy the Amoeba:  Hey, chocolate and flowers are expensive, especially when
I'm only making an Amoeba's salary.

Julie the Amoeba:  Well, your boss should give you a raise. Didn't you
improve cilia production this month?

Billy the Amoeba:  I have a confession to make.  I didn't spend my salary on
those flowers and chocolate.  I sold my beautiful golden cilia!  Those locks
of cilia, they were worth a fortune to the ciliacutter, so I let her cut
them and I sold them to her.

Julie the Amoeba:  Oh Billy!  You are wonderful!

The Parameciums attack Julie and Billy, engulfing them.

Parameciums:  We love pseudopodia!

The End

Yeah, it's short.  One-celled creatures deserve no more.  Except at
