"Oh, Clive! This Alaskan cruise is a dream come true for
me! How can I ever thank you?"

"Just being with you is thanks enough my darling."

"This evening has been beautiful. The captain's cocktail
hour, the fabulous dinner, the night of dancing under
the starlit Alaskan sky, and now this delightful
Midnight Seafood Buffet!"

"Do partake of soemthing, Jasmine. You go first."

"Oh look Clive! Mussels! My favorite! But there seems to
be just one left.."

"Alack!"

"Alack?"

"Did I say, alack? I meant, Alas!"

"I thought as much."

"You go ahead darling Jasmine. Mussels are your
favorite, and I want nothing to ruin this most special
of evenings."

"Oh Clive, Clive you are so good to me! Oh look how
plump and beautifully presented this mussel is! I shall
eat it at once!

"Was it delicious, my precious Jasmine? Was it truly an
epicurian delight?"

"Yes. yes, Clive. I love you so much. I must kiss you."

"Odd, Jasmine, your kiss seemed...well..rather
different."

"Different?"

"Yes, I hate to mention it...such a trifling thing...but
it was somewhat......stiff."

"Mmm mmm mmm?"

"What, my dear? You musn't mumble."

"Mmmmm! MM! Mmmmm mmm mm mmmmmm mmm, mmmmmm!"

"Jasmine, your lips aren't moving! Oh dear God! Why
can't you blink?".

"Mmmmm mmmm , mmm?"

"On no, it can't be...but, yes, the mussels, the
stiffened lips, the frozen grimace...it all adds up! Oh,
Jasmine, I believe it's what we fear most....!"

"Mmm, mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmmm!!??"

"Yes! Paralytic shellfish poisoning! Help! Someone call
the ship's doctor!."
