{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon}}
{{TB|Thank you for coming, Ms. Peyton.}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|Well, you summoned me, so… not really a choice in coming.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon}}
{{TB|I want to cut to the chase here. I'd like to offer you an exciting opportunity.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon}}
{{TB|You see, I've noticed that several of the staff seem…a bit worn out.}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Yeah, one super boring seminar can really suck the life out of you it seems. Plus, all that painting we had to do in the hot sun.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon|Nervous}}
{{TB|Well, I had an idea to make it up to the staff.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon}}
{{TB|If you could organize a school play, then it could give the rest of the faculty some much needed time off, and more importantly show Chalmers what our school is made of.}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|You want to give the entire faculty a vacation and have me organize a whole play by myself? Because I sold my magic wand to buy school supplies out-of-pocket.}}
{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon}}
{{TB|No, no, I don't expect you to do one thing! I expect you to get the parents involved and then make THEM do it. It's called "parent participation" — it's all the rage at other schools.}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon|Thinking}}
{{TB|Hmmm, parents…I can work with that. What kind of play did you have in mind?}}
{{Tapped Out Skinner Icon}}
{{TB|The only kind: old enough that the copyright's expired.}}

{{TB|Thank you all for coming in on such short notice.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I'm just glad this isn't about Bart! Or is it…?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Yeah, 'cause if it is, we're not paying for another lawyer — he's gonna have to represent himself.}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|This isn't about Bart. And if it was, I wouldn't have summoned every parent at the school.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Hey, when this kid jumps, I'm required to ask "how high" and "what's the damage".}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|That was pretty good, Homer.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|Thanks! Words are just flowing through me today. Maybe this intermittent fasting stuff's finally paying dividends.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|Eating between 8am and midnight isn't "intermittent fasting".}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Homer, do you actually think that's what "intermittent fasting" is?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Snobby}}
{{TB|I can eat my way through half a fridge and two fully stocked pantries in the middle of the night… so, yeah, this fasting stuff has been a major sacrifice.}}
{{Tapped Out Kirk Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Can we please speed this meeting up? I'm not allowed to keep meat or fish in my trunk for more than an hour when I'm delivering groceries.}}

{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|So, here's the deal, parents: we have one week to transform Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer" into the best musical Springfield Elementary has ever staged.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Snobby}}
{{TB|Mark Twain didn't write "Tom Sawyer" — it's a "Rush" song!}}
{{Tapped Out Wiggum Icon}}
{{TB|Homer's right!}}

{{TB|Bands back then had so much drum…}}
{{Tapped Out Wiggum Icon|Proud}}
{{TB|They did indeed, Homer. They did indeed.}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Look, you guys are all here today because we need your help to make this the best play our school has ever staged.}}
{{Tapped Out Luann Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|So now you're subcontracting your own job to us parents? What gives you the right? }}
{{Tapped Out Kirk Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Yeah, does that mean we'll get a cut of the school budget or a chunk of your sweet teacher salary?}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|No. And it's not subcontracting, it's "parental participation".}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|As for the budget, I can offer you all the leftover school pizza your hearts desire.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Mouth Full}}
{{TB|I'm in! {{*}}eats pizza{{*}}}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|Okay, so here's a stack of "Tom Sawyer: The Musical" scripts for you all to read.}}
{{Tapped Out Helen Lovejoy Icon}}
{{TB|Why does it have to be "Tom Sawyer"? Shouldn't we…oh, I don't know, pick something less political?}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Political? Tom Sawyer is a cultural landmark.}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|Its realistic depiction of ordinary American life remains a candid reflection of the complexities within our society then and now.}}
{{Tapped Out Helen Lovejoy Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|It was just a suggestion…}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|So, are you parents in for some "parent participation"?}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I'm in!}}
{{Tapped Out Kirk Icon|Annoyed}}

{{TB|So, do I have any volunteers for set design?}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I'd love to do set design!}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Wow, that was fast. Thanks Marge!}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Absolutely! And would you mind if I also handled all of the stage management and costuming, too?}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|I don't want to come off too strong, but back in high school I was a pretty big deal as the theater class stage manager.}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|I doubt anyone here would mind.}}

{{TB|If a wasp hive exploded in Skinner's office and/or car, I had no knowledge of it.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|No, it's not that! It's good news!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Did the school finally accept my advanced curriculum proposal?}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|Nope, something way better than that!}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Well now you're just hyping this up too much — it'll probably be a total let down.}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon}}
{{TB|The school's putting on a play, and guess who's directing?}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Awesome. Now I'm betting one of us ends up as the lead, because that's our usual luck.}}

{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Wait, is that already a thing that exists or do we have to write a bunch of songs about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn?}}
{{Tapped Out Stage Manager Marge Icon}}
{{TB|Shh, Lisa! If we don't ask those questions, we don't have to worry about answering them!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|I mean, that is kind of an important question that needs answering…}}
{{Tapped Out Stage Manager Marge Icon}}
{{TB|Well, and this isn't nepotism or anything, but I think Bart…}}
{{Tapped Out Bart Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Fine, fine, I'll play Tom Sawyer. I mean, it's sort of a role I was born to play.}}

{{TB|I'm going to be a tree!}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|Thank you, children. Please sit down so we can talk about our play.}}
{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|We will be performing a musical adaptation of Mark Twain's classic American story, Tom Sawyer.}}

{{Tapped Out Ms. Peyton Icon}}
{{TB|Well, Marge, as Stage Manager, you get the fun and rewarding task of calming the kids down and preparing them for curtain call. I'm going to go get a much-deserved massage.}}
{{Tapped Out Stage Manager Marge Icon}}
{{TB|All right! Who wants to help build a set? No one? Because "no volunteers" means "all of you".}}
