(The scene switches to the school play. MR. REYES walks out onto the stage.)

"Woo! That'th my dad!"

MR. REYES (SPOKEN)
Welcome, everybody!

"Wait, but I thought Christine did the introduction at the play..." Jake said.

Then they all stared at the camera, Office style.

Thank you so much for coming to our production of 'A Midsummer Nightmare About Zombies!'

Michael cheered.

This has been a very trying time for us here at Middleborough. But I know that if Richard Goranski were here with us tonight instead of the intensive care unit at Beth Israel, he would say, "The show must go on!

Rich wiped a tear. "He knowth me tho well."

...with Mr. Reyes as my understudy.

Christine cheered.

CHRISTINE (SPOKEN)
Break a leg, everyone! Has anyone seen my hazmat suit for the love scene?! (facepalming) Also quiet backstage.

(JEREMY runs in.)

"Boo!"

"Michael!"

JEREMY (SPOKEN)

"I think he secretly wanted us all to flake to he could play every part," Brooke laughed.

JEREMY (SPOKEN)
I've been thinking about what you said—

"But you never think?"

"Thanks, Rich."

CHRISTINE (SPOKEN)
Can we please talk about this later?

JEREMY (SPOKEN)
Just listen to me!

Jenna threw a shoe at him.
