{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Really? But aren’t we frenemies?}}
{{Tapped Out Janey Icon}}
{{TB|Eh, it depends on the episode. I guess the writers need us to pal it up for this one.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Okay! I’m in.}}
{{Tapped Out Janey Icon}}
{{TB|Hold on. You have to audition first.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Curious}}

{{TB|Clarissa Wellington! You’re a famous singer! You beat me on [[Krusty's Li'l Starmaker|Krusty’s “Li’l Starmaker”]] show and became a star.}}
{{Tapped Out Clarissa Wellington Icon}}
{{TB|I remember winning. I remember becoming a star, but I don’t remember you. Hm. I hope you play sax better than you leave impressions.}}

{{TB|Pineapple?!}}
{{Tapped Out Janey Icon}}

{{Tapped Out Lewis Clark Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|I’m “[[Wendell]]” because I was standing next to Wendell when she met me.}}
{{Tapped Out Clarissa Wellington Icon}}

{{TB|You’re playing paid gigs?}}
{{Tapped Out Clarissa Wellington Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Of course I am.}}
{{Tapped Out Janey Icon}}
{{TB|C’mon Lisa. You know you need money for your college fund.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|It’s true. It’s slowly becoming Bart’s Legal Defense Fund. I better think about this.}}

{{TB|Alright. The first stop is going to be the Krusty the Clown Show.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|How exciting!}}
{{Tapped Out Clarissa Wellington Icon}}
{{TB|All of our tour bookings are based on how we do there. If it goes great, I’ll be rich! As will you, to a much, much lesser extent.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|What if the show doesn’t go great?}}
{{Tapped Out Clarissa Wellington Icon|Annoyed}}

{{TB|We can’t come up with an original song on the fly!}}
{{Tapped Out Clarissa Wellington Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|We need the rights to perform a song on TV, dummy. And it’s too late to get them now!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Sly}}
{{TB|Hmm. Not if the song is over a hundred years old. Then it’s public domain!}}
{{Tapped Out Clarissa Wellington Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|I don’t want to sing some dusty old song about frankfurter sandwiches. I want a song that means something.}}
{{Tapped Out Janey Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|What about “Lift Every Voice and Sing”?}}
{{Tapped Out Lewis Clark Icon}}
{{TB|The Black National Anthem?}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Of course. Mr. Largo already taught it to us for the Black History Month Showcase. And it just turned a hundred years old!}}

{{Tapped Out Lewis Clark Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|There is no audience. They do it pre-taped now ever since Robby Fry the Animal Guy was mauled to death by that panther.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Oh, right. Poor Robby Fry. They never did find out where that panther came from.}}

{{TB|Alright. Before you ask, no you can’t use my private bathroom, the check is in the mail, and my producer will cue you in after my “Baby Garbage Man” sketch is done. Break a whatever.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Worried}}
{{TB|Do we have to perform on this chalk outline of Robby Fry?}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Of course you don’t. Here’s a mop. Knock yourself out.}}
{{Tapped Out Clarissa Wellington Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Alright. Are you small time saps ready for the big time? You better be, or you’ll be busking on the sidewalk for Canadian loonies.}}
{{Tapped Out Lewis Clark Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|You know, we don’t like it when you talk to us that way.}}

{{TB|You… you don’t?}}

{{TB|Of course not! It’s rude.}}

{{TB|When can we come back to perform? Tomorrow? Next week?}}

{{Tapped Out Clarissa Wellington Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|{{*}}sigh{{*}} Well, I guess the tour's off. But I learned a valuable lesson along the way.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|To treat people the way they’d like to be treated?}}
{{Tapped Out Clarissa Wellington Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|No. To stop doing local TV. This type of thing would never happen on [[The View]]!}}
