Chirp-Sing: We are extremely honored to be your presenters tonight for one of the awards in this honorable ceremony.

 

Dim-Sun: Yes! We were glad to come here and be part of this, though I still miss my sister, even if she was evil and deceptive.

 

::Chirp-Sing lights on Dim-Sun’s shoulder and pats him comfortingly::

 

Chirp-Sing: It is our noble privilege to present the nominees for Best Artwork:
