{{TB|You seem more relaxed. It's nice to see you focused on just enjoying the music.}}

{{TB|Yeah. I mean, music is the point, right? Just relax…listen to it being played…enjoy it…}}

{{TB|You kids really fell out of practice while I was away, but I'm gonna whip you back into shape.}}
{{Tapped Out Milhouse Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Aw, man. Now I'll have to get extra inhaler refills.}}
{{Tapped Out The General Icon}}
{{TB|Excuse me, sir. I couldn't help but overhear, and you know, I think you're right. You need to whip these kids not just into musical shape but actual shape-shape.}}
{{Tapped Out Victor Kleskow Icon}}
{{TB|I'm listening…}}
{{Tapped Out The General Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Might I suggest some actual marching?}}
{{Tapped Out Victor Kleskow Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Hmm…like a marching band? Everyone hates those losers.}}
{{Tapped Out Victor Kleskow Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Which makes it the perfect way to drill these losers into musical shape!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Better double that order of refills, Milhouse.}}

{{TB|Now they're too out of breath to play well. I should have never listened to unsolicited advice from a three-star general.}}
{{Tapped Out The General Icon}}
{{TB|That's because they're not taking their training seriously. If these were my soldiers — uh, I mean musicians — I'd put them through an obstacle course.}}
{{Tapped Out The General Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I just happen to have one that you're free to use.}}
{{Tapped Out Victor Kleskow Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|How will running an obstacle course help them play better?}}
{{Tapped Out Victor Kleskow Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Do you have some ulterior motive?}}
{{Tapped Out The General Icon}}
{{TB|No.}}
{{Tapped Out Victor Kleskow Icon}}
{{TB|OK. Had to ask.}}
{{Tapped Out Victor Kleskow Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|And now that you've answered, I can proceed with your ludicrous idea.}}

{{TB|I take it you learned a valuable lesson about pushing kids too hard, Mr. Kleskow.}}

{{TB|I definitely did, Lisa.}}
