Cartman Finds Love
South Park Elementary, hallway, day. The kids are milling around as Butters' wail is heard.
Butters
[runs across the hallway] Fellas! Fellas! Fellas! [spots them in another hallway and runs to them] AAAAH, fellas!
Stan
What? [most of the fourth grade boys gather around]
Butters
[stops and catches his breath, then jabs his right index finger at the floor] Guess what Larry Barsky just told me?!
Cartman
What?
Butters
[jabs his finger again] Guess!
Kyle
Just tell us, Butters.
Butters
There's a new girl that started school here today. And she's joined the cheerleading squad.
Craig
Oh, we have a new cheerleader?
Clyde
What's she look like?
Kenny
(Yeah, what's her name?)
Cartman
[taking control of the situation] Alright guys, alright! If there is a new girl at our school, we're not gonna start putting claims on her and getting into big fights! It's gonna be her choice who she likes the most.
The school gym, moments later. Some double doors are open and Butters peeks in. The other boys gather behind him, and soon all their jaws drop.
Butters
Look, look, there she is. [near the bleachers opposite the doors are five girls: Red, Wendy, Bebe, Lola, and Jenny. Between Wendy and Bebe are two pompoms waiting for a sixth cheerleader, who arrives shortly. It's a black girl. The other five girls begin talking to her all at once]
Cartman
Oh my God. Tolkien, aren't you stoked? [Tolkien looks over at him. The girls start practicing] Aww, that's awesome, Tolkien. I'm happy for you.
Tolkien
[anger flashes across his face] Why?! Why are you happy for me?!
Cartman
Dude, I'm being seriously. You guys will be really cute together. What are you gonna say to her?
Tolkien
Nothing! [walks away]
Cartman
[confused] What the? ...Oh, Tolkien's shy. Oh my God, that is adorable.
Fourth Grade class, some time later. Mr. Garrison is at the blackboard teaching the class about Game of Thrones
Mr. Garrison
And so what we start to see now is a pattern in world history much like the Greeks and the Romans. Remember that there were seven families fighting for control of the land of Westeroth. The king of Westeroth was who? Robert Baratheon [circles BARATHEON on the board], and he asked Eddard, also known as, of course, Lord Stark, to serve as hand of the king. You remember that Lord Stark accepted, or course. The queen's family - that's the Lannisters - were really trying back then to take control, weren't they? So where were the Targaryens at this time? Well, they were across the sea. We all talked about how they were also trying to take the throne. So we've got the Greeks, the Romans, the Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons, Targaryens, all headed for a big blowout right in Season 2. Now, what I really wanted to get into today is what was going on in the north, because that's just a whole other mess- [during the lecture, the following takes place]
Cartman
[fairly whispering throughout, beginning when Mr. Garrison mentions Lord Stark. He sits between Tolkien and the new girl and grins as he looks at each of them by turn] Dude... Tolkien! [jerks his head a bit in the girl's direction and points at her] Tolkien. Dude. [Tolkien looks at him, then goes back to taking notes. Cartman smiles] Psst. Tolkien. [points to the girl again, but puts his right hand up so she doesn't notice. Tolkien is annoyed] Go ahead. Go ahead dude. Tolkien! Yeah, get in there.
Kyle
[annoyed as well] Will you shut the hell up?! [goes back to taking notes. Cartman finally picks up his pen, but doesn't write anything]
Cartman
...Tolkien. You want me to pass her a jelly bean?
Tolkien
[whispers back] No!
Cartman
Huh?
Tolkien
[louder] No!
Mr. Garrison
[stops talking and turns to the class] Tolkien, is there a problem? [Tolkien is a loss for words, but Cartman fields this question]
Cartman
Ah, he's just a little sick, Mr. Garrison. He's got boneritis. [begins to laugh at his own joke] Right guys? [tries to hold the laugh in]
Mr. Garrison
Everyone pay attention! [goes back to the board] Now, what I really wanna get into today is what was going on in the north, because that's just a whole other mess that's pretty hard to keep straight, isn't it? The Night's Watch- [while Garrison resumes his lesson, Cartman resumes his prodding]
Cartman
[quickly looks at the girl and at Tolkien] Tolkien. [leans back in his seat so Tolkien has a clear view of the girl] Dude, dude. Dude.
South Park Elementary, hallway. Bebe and Red are at Bebe's locker, talking.
Red
So then Kelly I guess told Stacey that she wasn't invited, so now Stacey's pissed at us.
Cartman
[approaching] Hey, guys? Can I talk to you?
Bebe
[shuts her locker] Why?!
Cartman
[motions to his left] Just, can I talk to you, real quick? [walks the girls over to the end of the hallway] What kind of stuff is the new girl saying about Tolkien?
Red
About Tolkien? Why?
Cartman
Well, Tolkien's really shy, so, I'm just here, sort of on his behalf 'cause, you know.
Bebe
Tolkien likes Nichole?
Cartman
Yeah, of course. [the girls look at each other]
Red
Oh yeah, I don't think she has any idea.
Cartman
Yeah, so, could you guys just let her know that, you know, she might have to make the first move?
Bebe
Okay.
Cartman
Thanks, you guys.
Bebe's basement, day. She and the other five cheerleaders are playing the board game, Living. Lola rolls the dice and releases them.
Lola
[moves up four steps] One two three four, sorry Bebe.
Bebe
Oh, that's okay. [the girls laugh about it] So, Nichole, guess what? One of the boys here already has a crush on you.
Lola, Jenny, Red, and Wendy
Ohhh.
Nichole
Oh my gosh, who?
Red
That boy Tolkien.
Wendy
Oh he's really nice, Nichole. I dated him for a little while. [the other girls chime in, showing their support. The camera pulls back a bit, and Cartman is shown eavesdropping just outside a basement window]
Nichole
Oh jeez, thanks you guys, but to be totally honest, I kinda think this other boy is cute.
Bebe
[excited] Who? Whowhowhowho?
Nichole
That kid, with the orange coat and the green hat?
Wendy
Oh, you mean Kyle?
Nichole
Yeah.
The Girls
Ooooh, Kyle.
Cartman
WHAT?! KYLE?! [the girls don't hear him]
Bebe
Nichole loves Kyle! Nichole and Kyle sittin' in a tree.
The Girls
K-I-S-S-O-M-G!
Nichole
Haha, shut up you guys! It's just a crush. [the girls laugh while Cartman gets livid]
Cartman
Motherfucker! [gets up and runs off]
South Park Elementary, next day. The girls are practicing on the football field as three random boys watch from the bleachers
The Girls
We are Cows, proud and true! Count on South Park, moo moo moo! Goooo Cows! [Cartman approaches Nichole]
Cartman
Hey, ah, Nichole, right?
Nichole
Yeah. [Wendy stops practicing]
Cartman
Can I talk to you for a second, just for a second, right over here? [takes her to another set of bleachers nearby] Listen uh, I heard through the grapevine that you've got a thing for Kyle?
Nichole
[taken aback and embarrassed] Oh no, who told you that?
Cartman
Just, the grapevine. Um, there's something you should probably know. [fakes a sweat] Oh man this is hard. Um, the thing is, me and Kyle are kind of, you know ...together?
Nichole
Ohhh.
Cartman
Yeah, he's my man. I'm more out than Kyle is, but... it sucks, because he acts like we're not a couple at school because he's embarrassed, but... we get home and he's the best boyfriend I've ever had.
Nichole
Wow, I-I'm sorry. I totally respect that. [puts her right hand on his left shoulder] Hey, thanks a lot for telling me.
Cartman
Cool, just, you know, don't touch me 'cause I'm not into girls, so it kind of grosses me out.
Nichole
[withdraws her hand] Oh, I'm sorry.
Cartman
Yeah, kewl. Anyway, thanks a lot and just, you know, stay away from my man, b****. [snaps his fingers and walks away]
The hallway, later. Kyle is at his locker putting some books away. Nichole approaches him
Nichole
Hey, uh, I just wanna let you know, if you ever need somebody to talk to, I'm here.
Kyle
Oh, thanks. [smiles. Nichole turns and walks away, smiling. Kyle sees Craig and Timmy nearby and runs towards them] Dude, that new girl's into me!
Another hallway. Cartman hides around the corner and makes like he's real cool, wearing shades and with hands in his jacket pockets, one foot resting on the wall. Butters walks past him on the cross-hallway without noticing
Cartman
Psst Butters. Butters! [Butters stops and notices, then walks over to Cartman] At the end of PE class, tell Nichole that the gym teacher wants some towels delivered to the boys' locker room.
Butters
How come?
Cartman
[takes off his shades] Let's just say that by this time tomorrow, Tolkien and Nichole are gonna be practically married.
Butters
Are you sure, Eric? I mean, maybe they just aren't meant for each other.
Cartman
No no. [walks him towards the camera] Love is like taking a dump, Butters. Sometimes it works itself out, but sometimes, you've gotta give it a nice hard slimy push.
The football field, after PE. Nichole packs her pompoms away as Butters arrives with towels for Nichole to deliver
Butters
Oh hey, Nichole? Coach wants you to take these to the boys' locker room. [hands her the towels]
Nichole
Oh, he does? [Butters nods] Okay.
The boys' locker room. Tolkien is taking a shower alone when Cartman leans in to check on him, then walks away. The other boys are changing into their regular clothes.
Cartman
Guys! Guys, get outside! It's the Bat-Mobile! Bat-Mobile, you guys! [the boys make a break for the front of the school and exit the front doors]
In front of the school.
Craig
Where?
Jimmy
I-I don't see a b-b-Bat-Mobile.
Back at the gym, Nichole reaches the boys' locker room, opens the door, and backs into the room. Cartman looks from around a corner and sees her go in. He has a chain and lock with him, and as soon as the door closes he goes and locks them with the chain
Nichole
[keeps walking, unaware of what Cartman just did] Hello??
Tolkien
[walks in dressed in a towel and drying his face with another] AAA!
Nichole
OH! Oh gosh I'm so sorry!
Tolkien
Where is everybody? What's goin' on??
Nichole
Coach wanted me to... [winces and gets embarrassed] I'm sorry. [drops the towels, turns and goes back to the doors. She tries to open them but can't]
The neighborhood, afternoon. Some of the students are walking together: Kyle, Craig, and Timmy in back, Lola and Jenny up front.
Kyle
Hey guys. Guys! Hold up. [runs up to the girls, who stop and turn to face him] Hey uhm, you're kind of friends with that Nichole girl, right?
Jenny
Yeah?
Kyle
Well... what kind of stuff does she like? Do you know?
Lola
She likes... movies, cats.
Jenny
[to Lola] She likes basketball.
Kyle
Ogh. Oh cool, she likes basketball? That's perfect! Thanks, you guys!
Lola
Well- Hey Kyle, [he stops and returns] we were gonna head over to the mall. You wanna go with us?
Kyle
Oh. Uh, can't right now, but maybe another time. See ya! [runs off]
Jenny
Guess he has a crush on Nichole.
Lola
[looks away for a moment] I don't think so. I heard Kyle swings for the same team.
Jenny
Really?!
Kyle
[back with Craig and Timmy] It's perfect! I could take her to a basketball game. [looks back at the girls, who look at him, then giggle as he turns back to the boys] Man, I-I don't know what's happenin', but... it seems like all the girls are... kind of into me lately. [looks back at the girls and waves. They grin and wave back]
Back in the locker room, Tolkien tries to get himself and Nichole out, but groans and doesn't get anywhere
Tolkien
Hey! In here! [punches the door]
Nichole
You think the janitors are still here?
Tolkien
Don't worry. It's gonna be okay. We've got water, and, and maybe somebody even left some food laying around. Come on. [takes her around the locker room. Nichole notices a table with food and some other things on it]
Nichole
Look! [walks to the table] Somebody left a deli platter. [Tolkien joins her] And board games. And massage oil.
Tolkien
Oh... Good.
The school, just after sunrise. Firefighters have arrived at the locker room and have snapped the chain in two with bolt cutters.
The school, out front. The firefighters have taken Tolkien and Nichole outside and left them alone as they leave.
Nichole
Well that was sure an interesting night.
Tolkien
It sure was.
Nichole
Hey, thanks a lot for making me feel safe in there. That could have been really scary.
Tolkien
Yeah. Now that it's over, I... I guess it was kind of fun. [smiles]
Nichole
Yeah, it kind of was. Maybe... I-I don't know. Maybe we should get some lunch tomorrow.
Cartman
[hiding in the bushes, weeping silently] Oh my God, sooo cute.
Tolkien
I'd like that.
Nichole
Cool. Well... thanks again. [they hug each other]
Cartman
[sweetly] Ohhhhh my God.
Cupid Me
[pops out of Cartman's head] We did it, Eric. We found them each other's ray of sunshine.
Cartman
You're my ray of sunshine, Cupid Me. [tickles the little cupid]
Cupid Me
Teeheeheehee. [pops back into Cartman's head, leaving behind a trail of hearts]
Montage. Cartman sings "I Swear" as Tolkien and Nichole get to know each other better.
Cartman

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know, my heart
Girl I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes, I'll never break your heart
I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear (I swear) like a shadow that's by your side (Keep it down, girl)
I'll be there
For better or worse (better or worse), till death do us part (death do us part)
I'll love you with every black beat of my heart
And I swear. I swear. I s-we-e-e-ear Yeah, I swear. Straight up. What it do?

South Park Elementary, playground, recess. As the kids play and chatter, Tolkien is pushing Nichole on a swing, then he tickles Nichole and she giggles. Cartman is rather pleased with how things are progressing between Tolkien and Nichole
Cartman
Did you see that? Tolkien was gonna push her, but then he tickled her instead. [behind him, on the merry-go-round, are Stan, Kenny, and Butters. Stan and Kenny are playing with a ball.]
Stan
Dude, why are you so into their relationship?
Cartman
I don't know, it's just so... perfect. [Stan and Kenny resume playing]
Kyle
You motherfucker! [runs into view and punches Cartman, who falls on his face]
Cartman
Kyle, Jesus Christ!
Kyle
What the hell are you doing telling people that we're a gay couple?!
Cartman
Oh, heard that through the grapevine, did you?
Kyle
The new girl liked me, and so you lied to her!
Cartman
Somebody had to intervene, Kyle! You were standing in the way of Tolkien and Nichole! They belong together!
Kyle
Just because two people are the same race doesn't mean they belong together, you fat racist piece of fucking garbage!
Cartman
Oh! Oh, I'm a racist, huh?! I'm a racist! It's how nature works, Kyle! Look! Look, what about Luke Covina and Maria Sanchez? [points to a Hispanic couple riding play elephants] Is it a coincidence they ended up together?!
Stan
Actually, I heard they're together because they got locked in the school gym overnight a few months ago.
Cartman
Oh did they? I hadn't heard about that.
Cupid Me
[reappears, and Cartman smiles at him] Teehee, that was us, remember, Eric?
Cartman
Shh, quiet, Cupid Me.
Kyle
What?
Cartman
Nothing.
Kyle
Who is Cupid Me?
Cartman
Nobody.
Kyle
You are gonna tell everyone that you lied and that we aren't a couple!
Cartman
Why, Kyle?! So you can try and ruin things for Tolkien and Nichole?! Look at how happy they are! [can't fault him there. Nichole giggles again. Kyle looks defeated] Is it that you want to ruin that or are you just homophobic?!
Kyle
Goddamnit! [walks away angrily]
Nichole's house, night. Inside, she and her parents are eating dinner: turkey, mashed potatoes, veggies. Nichole begins to fiddle with her food and look at the ceiling dreamily.
Dad
[clears his throat] Nichole? Your mother tells me that you already have a boyfriend at school.
Nichole
His name is Tolkien. He's really nice.
Dad
Well that's good. But... your mother tells me that this boy is... black.
Nichole
So?
Dad
Well, Nichole, it's just... You know, just because you're black doesn't mean you can only date black boys. It's just a little weird that we moved to this whole new place and you're immediately drawn to the one other black person.
Mom
Oh stop, William. There's nothing wrong with her dating a black person.
William
I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying... she's gonna have to deal with racist people out there! People turning their heads and saying, "Oh, look at the two black people together. That figures!"
Nichole
It's not like that, Dad. We just happen to like each other. I know it seems like a strange coincidence, but it really is. A coincidence.
Mom
And we are very happy for you, sweetheart. Here, have some more turkey.
William
Yeah, just try the white meat. I know it's a little dry, but... there's a lot more of it.
Cartman's house, night. He's pounding on the bathroom door.
Cartman
Come on! [pounds on the door some more] Other people have to use the bathroom, you know? Can you hurry it up in there?! [pounds on the door some more. The door opens and Cupid Me floats out]
Cupid Me
Teeheeheehee, teehee.
Cartman
Jesus Christ, Cupid Me, you givin' birth in there?!
Cupid Me
[giggles] Sorry. [Cartman goes in]
Cartman
That's- Oh, oh, Cupid Me! [covers his nose with his bath robe] Sick! What the fuck have you been eating?!
Cupid Me
Teeheeheeheeheehee.
Cartman
Dude, at least flush the toilet! [walks over to it] Aww, it's cute, it's little chocolate hearts.
Cupid Me
They're fudgey charms of sunshine.
Cartman
You're my fudgey charm of sunshine. Come here, you! [tries to catch Cupid Me, but Cupid Me keeps away]
Cupid Me
Teeheeheehee, teeheeheeheehee. [flits here and there]
Cartman
I'm gonna get you! [chases Cupid Me out of the bathroom]
Cupid Me
Teeheehee, no! [flits on down the hall]
Cartman
I almost got you! Almost! [Liane walks out of her room with clean laundry, and there's no sign of Cupid Me]
Liane
[sees Cartman dancing around] Everything okay, sweetie?
Cartman
Everything's great, Mom. [to the invisible Cupid Me] No! Come back here and flush the toilet, you silly! Noohoho! [dances away]
Nichole's room, evening. She checks out the teddy bear she thinks she got from Tolkien. She reads the tag: "To My Boo." She turns the tag over and reads it, her smile vanishing: "'Cuz Blacks Belong Together"
Nichole
Oh no...
South Park Elementary, next day. Tolkien is at his locker in the hallway, and Nichole approaches him. Tolkien closes his locker door, not noticing her coming.
Nichole
[sad] Hey Tolkien.
Tolkien
[smiles and turns around] Hey Nichole.
Nichole
Can I talk to you for a sec?
Tolkien
Sure! [she takes him to the same drinking fountain Kyle took Jenny and Lola to earlier] What's up?
Nichole
Listen, I... ugh, I don't think this is gonna work out.
Tolkien
Oh.
Nichole
I'm so sorry. It's just... I don't believe we're really on the same page, you know?
Tolkien
Okay...
Nichole
I think you're really great... W-w-we just...
Tolkien
I think... you're really great.
Nichole
...I'm sorry.
Tolkien
Yeah. I'm sorry too. I'll see you around. [turns and walks away sadly]
Nichole
Okay. [she turns towards the drinking fountain]
Cartman's room, that afternoon. Cartman is devastated.
Cartman
[crying inconsolably and blowing his nose into a tissue] It's not fair! They were so... happy!
Butters
[holding Cartman's right hand] It's gonna be okay, Eric.
Cartman
It's NOT gonna be okay! Why did they break up?! They were meant for each other!
Butters
They'll find love somewhere else.
Cartman
No, they won't!
Butters
Yes, they will.
Cartman
No, they won't! Fuck you Butters, you're an asshole!
Cupid Me
[pops out again] Teeheehee. Looks like somebody could use a little arrow of sunshine.
Cartman
And you! I should have never believed in you!
Butters
In... In who, Eric?
Cartman
[grabs the imaginary cupid] I never wanna see you again! [hurls it into his closet door. It flies low. Cartman gets out of bed, grabs a bat that's conveniently leaning against his bedroom door, and bashes the cupid over and over] Take! Your sunshine! And fuckin'! Die! [puts the bat up against the door and crawls back into bed. Butters takes Cartman's hand again and Cartman resumes crying]
The park, late afternoon. Tolkien is sitting alone on the park bench. Kyle walks by and notices him there. A few seconds later, he walks up.
Kyle
Hey man. You okay?
Tolkien
Yeah.
Kyle
[sits next to him] What happened? It just didn't work out?
Tolkien
Yeah, I guess.
Kyle
So, you guys are totally broken up then? It's... It's done?
Tolkien
[long sigh] Yeah.
Kyle
[scratches his head behind the ear] So then, she's gonna be seeing other people? Is she, sort of, available?
Tolkien
Yeah, we're through.
Kyle
Sooo, theoretically, if someone was to step in, it would beee, okayyy?
Tolkien
[getting the wrong idea] I'm sorry Kyle. I like girls. [gets off the bench and walks away]
Kyle
Huh? [suddenly remembers] Dude, what the fuck?
Cartmans house, afternoon. Cartman is in the living room watching TV in the dark, wrapped in a blanket and eating chocolate fudge ice cream.
Announcer
We'll be back with more of the Jeffersons right after this.
Commercial. A businessman finishes his work day.
Man
[leaves his office] I work hard, so I need a laxative that works hard too! [walks off. Next he's on the ground floor] I can't be constipated on the job. [stops and holds up a box] That's why I need... Soft Serve. [at a tennis court. He serves] Because when I'm constipated, sometimes even a hard push isn't enough. [Cartman's interest is aroused. In the commercial the man is heading for the restroom. Another businessman comes out and the first one stops him] Don't give up. Get back in there and get to work! [now trying to poop in the toilet] 'Cause when the going gets tough, the tough gets going!
Cartman
That's right... That's right! [runs up to his room, goes into his closet and digs through his stuff until he finds the shoe box he put Cupid Me into after whacking him almost to death. He takes off the lid] Ohhh. [Cupid Me is shown laying face down battered and bruised, with a dry blood stream still near his mouth] I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you. Please come back. I know I got a little angry but... I believe in you. Do you hear me? I believe in you.
Cupid Me
No, you don't.
Cartman
Yes, I do, Cupid Me. Love is the bestest feeling in the world. I believe you can change everything.
Cupid Me
No, you don't. [opens its right eye for a second]
Cartman
Please, I can't do this alone. They need us. And I need you. My little flicker of twinkle stars. [tickles the cupid]
Cupid Me
Teehee, stop it.
Cartman
Come on, twinkle stars, we got work to do.
Cupid Me
Teeheehee, teeheeheehee, [flies out of the box] teeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee.
Nichole's house, day. Cartman pounds on her door, and her father William answers.
Cartman
Hi, can I speak to Nichole please? It's very important.
William
I'm sorry, but she's at the Denver Nuggets game.
Cartman
Denver Nuggets game?
William
Yeah, she went with a nice white, Jewish boy.
Cartman
[dolly zoom] NOOOOOOO! [runs away quickly]
The Pepsi Center, around 7 pm. The bleachers are filled with cheering fans waiting for the game to begin.
Announcer
Welcome to today's matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers. [the starting five from both teams take the court. A vendor hands Kyle two drinks, one of which he gives to Nichole. They look at each other fondly and take sips from their sodas.] And now, here to sing the National Anthem, country music star Brad Paisley. [he stands at center court and waves as a spotlight shines on him]
Brad Paisley

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars- [As Brad sings, Kyle and Nichole look at each other and smile, then look at Brad. Nichole notices someone clear across the center. It's Tolkien, with Craig and Clyde. Tolkien still has a heavy heart, keeping his eyes focused on the floor while Craig and Clyde smile. Kyle looks at Nichole, who's still surprised to see Tolkien there, and grins at her. She looks back at Kyle and smiles.]

Outside, a tour bus drops Cartman off near the center and Cartman runs for it.
Cartman
Nooooooo!
Inside.
Announcer
Nuggets fans, please direct your attention to center court and the president of Halitosis Kidz. [she's shown on the MegaTron waving to the spectators behind four men who are holding a Halitosis Kidz banner], who invites you to join the Denver Nuggets in the fight against morbid halitosis in children. [POV change from MegaTron to center court] Here to attempt a three-point shot for adolescents with terminally bad breath is [two of the men leave with the banner and an obese girl steps forward] the poster child for Halitosis Kidz, Stacy Muleburg. [the two other men cover their noses with their Denver team jackets as one of them hands Stacy the ball. She rushes up and throws the ball, but it's a brick] And a good try. [the two Denver men, two cameramen, the announcer, and the HK president all gather round her]
Stacy
Aaahahahaaaa.
Adults
Awww! [they all back away as fast as they can. The spectators clap for the effort. Kyle and Nichole clap as well]
Cartman
[running into the center] NOOOOOOO! [triggers an alarm]
Guard
Tickets please.
Cartman
No time! NOOOOOOO!
Announcer
We're all set for the tipoff. [The ball is thrown into the air and a Clipper tips the ball. A Nugget - Arron Afflalo - grabs it and the game begins. Afflalo throws it to JaVale McGee for an alley-oop, and McGee makes the first shot. The crowd cheers]
Cartman
Attention! Attention please! [Kyle and Nichole are surprised to hear his voice. Cartman is on the MegaTron] This is a message for all of you out there who have just ended a relationship. Sometimes, love is hard. But you can't just run away from it. When you start to have something special you have to work at it! [Tolkien is surprised to see Cartman there too, but Craig and Clyde are unfazed] Even though it might seem like the world is against you, you still have to hold on! With both hands! [Nichole begins to take this in] Don't let society dictate who you can and can't be with. Kyle, I love you babe. You can run all you want, try to pretend you like girls, but damnit, when we kiss there's magic! Don't let it go, Kyle. [Kyle is getting pissed off]
Crowd
Awwwww. [everyone looks at Kyle]
Cartman
I want to hold you every morning and love you every night, Kyle. I promise you nothing but love and happiness.

I swear by the moon and the stars and the sky
[Cartman and Kyle are paired on the MegaTron and the lovecam is activated - a heart appears over their images, Cartman on the left, Kyle on the right]
I'll be there, Kyle
I swear [Crowd: "Awwww." Kyle tries to push it all away] like the shadow that's by your side
Kyle, swear to God I'll be there.
For better or worse [Brad appears: "better or worse"], till death do us part [Brad: "death do us part"]
I'll love you with [Cartman and Brad] every gay beat of my heart!

Brad

I swear, Kyle.

Cartman
I swear, Kyle. [the crowd erupts in applause, as do the players. Kyle leaves his seat, steaming mad]
Nichole
Where are you going?
Kyle
That fat turd up there is the one who set up you and Tolkien 'cause he thinks blacks belong together! [walks away]
Nichole
He did that? Oh no.
Cartman
Thank you! Thank you all. That's all I wanted to say. That and... The Bat-Mobile's outside. [now with urgency] Seriously you guys, you gotta see it. It's the Bat-Mobile! It's outside.
Spectator
What? [leaves his seat. Soon everyone is leaving the center, including the players from both teams. Tolkien and Nichole find themselves looking at each other just outside the bleachers]
Nichole
Tolkien. Hey.
Tolkien
Hi.
Nichole
Tolkien, I'm so sorry. I thought you were only with me because I'm black.
Tolkien
I'm sorry too. I wouldn't even talk to you at first because you were black. [they turn aside for a moment to avoid each other]
Both
Do you think we could... Do you still want to... [they smile at each other]
Nichole
Maybe we can give it another try?
Tolkien
There are still people who will look at us funny. And think we're supposed to be together.
Nichole
Let them look. I don't care.
Tolkien
I don't care, either. [Cartman has a camera trained on them, while he takes up the whole screen on the MegaTron, praying for this to work out]
Nichole
I just think you're a great person. The color of your skin doesn't matter.
Tolkien
YAY! [they run to each other and hug each other]
Cartman
Oh my gohhhd, so cute! [runs out of the control room. Cupid Me appears]
Cupid Me
Teeheehee, a place for everything, and everything in its place.
Cartman
That's right, Cupid Me. People who are the same belong together.
Cupid Me
That's right, and I found somebody who's just the same as you!
Cartman
Really?!
Cupid Me
There she is! [points to Stacy, who turns around and growls at Cartman, showing her rotten teeth]
Cartman
What?! Fuck you, Cupid Me!
Cupid Me
Teeheeheeheehee, fuck you! [gives him the finger and then goes and shoots some arrows onto Stacy's face. Stacy's pupils become hearts]
Cartman
Hey, stop it!
Stacy
Haaagh! [Cartman spins around and runs. Stacy gives chase]
Cartman
Nooo!
Stacy
Haahahaagh!
