Here we are celebrating St. Valentine’s Day. Emmett is being a ‘Little Mopey Bloomers’ as their fiancé, Rupert Wormwood, is locked away in an asylum and Klaude attempts to cheer them up, along with Phineas P. Moneyload. They regale Emmett with Steampunk Pickup Lines, Lessons in Communicating with a Fan, and of course, another installment of Klaude’s Botched Inventions. Alas, in all of the excitement, no one remembered to make sure the recording device was switched on, but you can see what was played during the show.

Here are some of the steampunk pickup lines we came up with…
– Is that a dual action oscillating PF24- 12 in your pocket or are you simply pleased to be making my acquaintance?
– My zeppelin or yours?
– Nice spats, care to join me in a violent invasion of Hamburg?
– I can see our entire future reflected in your goggles.
– Are those aethernaut jodphurs? Because, your caboose is out of this stratosphere!
– You make my heart go clunk clunk cachunk psssssht!
– Pardon me, madam, but I seem to be a little short on cash. Could we share a zeppelin home together?
– Excuse me, but could I have the number at which you accept Marconi-grams? Because, I seem to have lost mine.
– So tell me – how thorough shall I steep your tea in the morning?
– Is that a mechanical arm? It is? So what else is clockwork?
– Gadzooks, milady! Your bustle goes on for a fortnight!
– You know what they say – the bigger the clockwork squid army…
– Does it happen that your father is a sky pirate? Because, he must have stolen the stars to put in your eyes. AND I DEMAND HE RETURN THEM!
– Lovely ensemble. It would look better in a three foot pile of taffeta and whalebone upon my floor.
– Care to come up to my brownstone and have a look at my lithographs?
– Come home with me and I shall show you a WORLD OF TOMORROW!
– Get out of my dreams & get into my giant steam-powered mechanical spider walker.
– Did it hurt when you fell to earth from your airship?
