He bows in kind - if much less courtly than in a quick theatrical move.]
I wear many hats, my dear - a musician? [Quick semi-coquettish lick o' the lips.] Check! A thespian? Check! A film actor? Check to that, too! Model, dancer, business entrepreneur -- sweetheart, you can check them all!
And! [A pointer finger in the air.]
...Television host. That's the role in which I initially debuted on the way to stardom, as a matter of fact!
You really haven't heard of me? Mettaton, monsterkind's top idol?
[Inflection not only insofar as ensuring it comes across as inquiry but placed on the "really" in a manner to imply a joking, lighthearted sense of him being thoroughly saddened and scandalized by the lack of recognition!
(Not to say that he wouldn't be tickled pink if he was in a position in which any surprise he could put into that sort of thing didn't need to be deliberate and jokey.)]
