Excerpt
APHRODITE: Can we change the subject? We haven’t talked about me in minutes!
ZEUS: Not everyone is as interested in you as you are.
APHRODITE: Well, they should be…I’m fascinating!
ZEUS (sarcastically): Oh, yeah, listening to you talk about your hair care regimen is riveting…
APHRODITE: Then you’ll love when I tell you about how I keep my skin looking so youthful.
ZEUS: No! That will make me want to kill myself…and I can’t, so that’s just mean.
APHRODITE: Fine, then ask me another speed dating question.
ZEUS: What are you most proud of?
APHRODITE: My body. It’s amazing, right?
ZEUS (rolling his eyes): I know you have a better answer, Medusa.
MEDUSA: I’m proud of the fact that even though I’m hideous on the outside, I managed to stay beautiful on the inside.
APHRODITE: Inner beauty is so overrated. No one can see it, so it’s like it isn’t even real.
MEDUSA: It’s real, Aphrodite. If you weren’t so shallow, maybe you could see that being a good person is much more important than being good-looking.
APHRODITE: You are not making any sense right now.
