As soon as a young adult Sim moves in, they almost immediately get a wish to join a career. Mal, of course, has a lifetime wish to be the Emperor of Evil, so no guesses what his career will be. Belle, oddly, wants to be a politician. I guess she wants all the politicians to fighting each other.
So while the football game keeps playing, Belle expresses some uncertainty about the job.
Mal insists that all that happens is you make a bunch of speeches...
...and meet a bunch of diplomats from foreign and potentially unfriendly states. Hey, that's pretty good. Maybe something evil can come from all this. Mal's got something to think about.
But then Belle starts smiling, and the mood is ruined. Mal is getting annoyed by how much he's helping her.
Mal tries to ruin her positive attitude with a discussion on crime. Dangerous, you know. Criminals are everywhere. Being a politician is dangerous work...
Belle appreciates the warning, and is even happier.
Finally, Mal gets up. And he's got a good excuse, too.
After the bathroom break, Mal decides to do something besides watching TV and talking with Belle, so he heads over to the bookshop. Too bad the shelf is stocked with cheesy romance novels.
So with all the dignity he can muster, he reads back to that comfortable sofa to read.
He glares at Belle, daring her to say one word about his cheesy novel. But she's more engrossed in the news, probably keeping her eye out for important current events.
