Aphrodite: *pushes Apollo aside* Oh, excuse me - sing another one, please!

Everyone except Apollo: *nod and murmur in agreement*

Apollo: But -

Artemis: *puts a hand on his shoulder* Brother, we have heard you sing for several millenia and I'm sorry to say this but as good as you may be, it does get obnoxious after a while.

Zeus: Indeed, I would actually love to hear something new for a change.

Apollo: Fine -

Hera: *leans over to Zeus* I just would like to know, why isn't Athena in charge of music?

Zeus: *slowly turns to look at her with a thoughtful look* You might be on to somethi -
