== Transcript ==
(The episode starts by taking place outside of the classroom and then zooms into the door)
Ms. Sherrit: Okay, class, as all of you know, it's National Dance Week in our class, and for your assignment, I want you to choose a type of dance to do in front of all of us.
Students (not seen): Okay.
Ms. Sherrit: And also, your assignment will be due this Friday, so be sure to decide on one first and then rehearse it.
Students (not seen): Okay.
(Bell rings)
Ms. Sherrit: Class is dismissed.
(Chairs pushing on floor)
(After the whole class leaves, the scene changes to where Maraya is walking to her bus an hour later)
Maraya: Oh, hey, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya.
Maraya: What are you doing?
Ms. Carolyn: Stretching.
Maraya: Oh. Ms. Carolyn, can you help me with something?
Ms. Carolyn: Sure, what can I help you with?
Maraya: Ms. Sherrit gave me an assignment where I have to choose a type of dance to do in front of the whole class.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, that sounds like a fun assignment, and I already have a few that you should try today.
Maraya: Wow, what are they?
Ms. Carolyn: Before I tell you what they are, let me warn you that some of these you do on your own, while others you'll need another person to do them.
Maraya: Oh.
Ms. Carolyn: Let's start with a simple one: ballet.
Maraya: Ballet? How do you do that?
Ms. Carolyn: Easy. You just do what I tell you to do.
Maraya: Okay.
(Ballet music plays)
Ms. Carolyn: First, we'll start by planting our feet together to do a plie, which is a move where you bend your knees like this.
(She bends her knees twice and then Maraya tries)
Ms. Carolyn: That's it. Now, we'll work on a pas de chat, which is demonstrated like this.
(She does a pas de chat to demonstrate her and then Maraya does it)
Ms. Carolyn: Good. Next, we'll work on an arabesque, which is a move where you turn yourself like this.
(Ms. Carolyn does an arabesque)
Ms. Carolyn: Now, you try.
(Maraya does a perfect arabesque)
Ms. Carolyn: That's the way. Now, let's move around and do the last three moves, which are an en pointe, a grand jete, and the hardest one of all, a pirouette. Whee!
(When she tries to do the last three moves, she falls down, which causes her imagination to end)
Maraya: Whoa!
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, are you okay?
Maraya: Yeah.
(Ms. Carolyn gets her up)
Ms. Carolyn: So what do you think of ballet? Is it a dance you can do for your class?
Maraya: No, because it's too jumpy and fancy.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, well, we can think of an easier dance for you. How about tap?
Maraya: Tap? How do you do tap?
Ms. Carolyn: You just tap your feet with special dance shoes called tap dancing shoes and here's how you tap dance.
(Imagination starts again)
(Music, feet tap)
(After Maraya tries to catch her hat and cane, she misses them and falls down again, which causes her imagination to end again)
Maraya: It's impossible, Ms. Carolyn. I can't catch a hat or cane or anything like you.
Ms. Carolyn: Don't give up, Maraya. Just be glad that it's not as hard as Irish dancing.
(Irish music plays and stops)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Or Russian dancing.
(Russian music plays and stops)
(Car horn honks)
Ms. Carolyn: Mr. Danny's here!
(She runs to him who's getting out of the car)
Mr. Danny: Oh, hi, Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Hi, Danny, you're just in time for our dance show.
Mr. Danny: Dance show?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, come on!
(Mr. Danny follows Ms. Carolyn back to where everyone else is standing)
Ms. Carolyn: Everyone, look who just showed up to see you all.
Others: Hi, Mr. Danny!
Mr. Danny: Hello. (to Ms. Carolyn) Carolyn, what dance would you like both of us to do for the crowd?
Ms. Carolyn: Remember when we were learning to do the tango while we were together a few years back?
Mr. Danny: Yeah, I remember. Come on, let's show this crowd how we do a mean tango dance.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, dear. (to others) Hey, everyone, watch how me and Danny tango dance. (to Mr. Danny) Ready, Danny?
Mr. Danny: Yes, let's do it.
Ms. Carolyn: Great, then let's do.
(Tango music plays as Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny start to do the tango)
Others: Wow!
(They continue to do the tango until the music ends and they finish)
Others: (cheering and applauding)
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you, thank you all.
(Applauding stops)
Ms. Carolyn: So, Maraya, what do you think of doing the tango in front of your class? Is it perfect?
Maraya: No, I don't think the tango would be a perfect dance for me to do for my class, because it's much too complicated.
Ms. Carolyn: Oh, well, that's all right, because luckily, there's a dance similar to the tango that's much easier.
Maraya: Oh, what's the name of the dance?
Ms. Carolyn: It's called "the waltz"
Maraya: "The waltz"? How do you do that?
Ms. Carolyn: Just watch me and Danny. (to Mr. Danny) Danny!
(Mr. Danny comes up to her)
Ms. Carolyn: Ready to show Maraya how we do the waltz?
Mr. Danny: Sure am. 
Ms. Carolyn: Awesome. Maraya, watch us.
(When the waltz music plays, Ms. Carolyn and Mr. Danny start to do the waltz)
Maraya: Wow!
(Waltz music ends)
Maraya: (applauding)
Ms. Carolyn: Wanna try to do it, too, Maraya?
Maraya: Yeah.
Ms. Carolyn: All right, just let me find you a practice partner.
(Ms. Carolyn walks up to Clayton)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Clayton, wanna be Maraya's practice partner for the waltz?
Clayton: Yeah.
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, then follow me.
(Clayton follows her while the setting changes to another area of the bus loading zone)
Ms. Carolyn: Clayton, you stay here. I'll go get Maraya.
(Setting changes back to where Maraya is standing)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, your partner is ready to dance with you.
Maraya: Okay.
(Ms. Carolyn walks Maraya to where Clayton is standing)
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, this is Clayton. He'll be your practice partner for your waltz dance.
Maraya: Why are you introducing me to Clayton when I've already met and known him?
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya! (to Clayton) I'm sure she didn't mean it, Clayton. Now, let me show you both how to do the waltz. (not seen) First, Clayton, I want you to put your hands on Maraya's shoulders.
(Clayton puts his hands on her shoulders)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Now, Maraya, I want you to put your hands below Clayton's armpits.
Maraya: Like this?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Yes, just like that. (she is seen again) And now that you two have that done, I'll teach you the box step. Here's some waltz music to help you out.
(She presses a button on the radio to make the waltz music play)
Maraya: Um, what are we supposed to do in the box step?
Ms. Carolyn: Simple. (not seen) When Clayton steps back with his left foot, you step forward with your right foot twice.
(Maraya and Clayton do the first part of the box step)
Maraya: Like this?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Yes, just like that. Now next, you each take two side steps and then you'll step back again, and after that, you do two more side steps and repeat.
Maraya: Like this, Ms. Carolyn?
(They do the other steps and then repeat)
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, way to go! You've really got this!
Maraya: Yay! Let's do it again!
Ms. Carolyn: Okay!
(She presses a button to stop the music and then presses another to play it again)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Remember the first thing you do when doing the waltz.
Maraya: Oh, yeah.
(She and Clayton get their hands on each other)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Now, begin.
Maraya: Come on, Clayton, let's do it.
(While they start doing the box step, Ms. Carolyn starts counting to the beat)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three.
(Waltz music continues until Maraya steps on Clayton's foot)
Maraya (not seen): Oops...
(Waltz music stops)
Maraya: I knew this wasn't going to last long. Guess: I did terrible?
Ms. Carolyn: No, in fact, you did good.
Maraya: I did? Wow, I must be a good waltz dancer, but I don't think it's the perfect dance for me.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, like I said earlier, just be blessed that it's not as hard as the tango. But, there's another dance I know that is harder than the waltz.
Maraya: Oh, what is it?
Ms. Carolyn: It's called a square dance.
Maraya: A square dance? What makes it harder than the waltz and why?
Ms. Carolyn: Well, when you square dance, you need a lot of people to do it, and also, there's also another person that calls out the moves in a certain order that other people have to follow. It's called a caller.
Maraya: A caller?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Yes.
Maraya: If I want to try to square dance, then who's going to do it with me?
Ms. Carolyn: We'll dance with you, Maraya. We'll all do it.
Maraya: Then who's going to be the caller?
Ms. Carolyn: I will. As a matter of fact, I already got ideas for my order of square dance moves.
Maraya: Really? How does it go?
Ms. Carolyn: Just stand over there with your other friends and I'll teach you how to do Ms. Carolyn's famous square dance. (chuckling)
(When she snaps a finger, her imagination starts and some square dance music plays to begin the first song)
Ms. Carolyn (speaking): Howdy, boys and girls,
Ready to dance?
If you are, then let's form a square and start doing the square dance, whoo-hoo!
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Face your partner, take a bow
Now face your corner, take a bow
Face your partner, now take a bow
Then grab them by the hand and dance🎵
(short instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Allemande, promenade, do-si-do
These are the moves that you need to know
Seeing these moves will make you want to prance
Come on, let's do the square dance🎵
(short instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Do a courtesy turn with your lady
Then do a forearm turn after that
Do a right and left grand with everyone
Cause this is where you'll be right at🎵
(short instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Allemande, promenade, do-si-do
These are the moves that you need to know
Seeing these moves will make you want to prance
Come on, let's do the square dance🎵
(short instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (speaking): Everyone, come forward and join hands
Like you're forming a drawbridge
Now open it up and let the others under
(short instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Don't be slow, (3×)
Or that drawbridge will close on you, oh!🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Allemande, promenade, do-si-do
These are the moves that you need to know
Seeing these moves will make you want to prance
Come on, let's do the square dance🎵
Ms. Carolyn (speaking): One more time!
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Allemande, promenade, do-si-do
These are the moves that you need to know
Let's end it off with a twirling swing
Come on, let's do the square dance🎶 (3×)
(After the song ends, her imagination also ends)
Ms. Carolyn: So, Maraya, what do you think of doing the square dance? I'm sure you can make your whole class do that.
Maraya: It does include a lot of involvement with other people, but I think it's a bit too much.
Ms. Carolyn: Too much, huh? Well, how about if you can try disco since it's a much easier dance?
Maraya: Good idea, but how do you do it?
Ms. Carolyn: Easy. You just do this.
(Her imagination starts when she does the dance)
Maraya: What? That's all you do?
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, now you try.
(Maraya starts doing what she just did)
Ms. Carolyn: Very good. So, what do you think of doing a disco dance for everyone?
Maraya: I think it's a bit too boring.
(Disco music starts playing faster and louder)
Ms. Carolyn (louder): What? I can't hear you. Say it again.
Maraya (shouting): I said, "I think it's a bit too boring."!
(Imagination ends)
Ms. Carolyn: Gosh, no need to shout, Maraya. Now, why do you think it would be too boring to do disco dancing for your class?
Maraya (mad): Well, it's because I don't want to be dancing like I'm a little John Travolta from a 70s movie.
Ms. Carolyn: Um, I think that's how he dances.
Maraya: Oh, sorry, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: It's okay, I'm sure you didn't mean it. By the way, I got an idea. I'll be right back.
(As soon as Ms. Carolyn walks away, Maraya thinks in her own head)
Maraya (in her own head): I wonder what dance Ms. Carolyn will make me try next. I hope it's not the chicken dance. That would be embarrassing!
(Castanets click-clacking)
Ms. Carolyn: Ole!
Maraya: What are you doing, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: I'm flamenco dancing. And when you flamenco dance, you get to play these.
Maraya: Wow, what are they?
Ms. Carolyn: They're castanets. They come all the way from Spain and flamenco dancers who live there get to dance with them, like this.
(She demonstrates her her flamenco dancing skills)
Ms. Carolyn: Ole!
Maraya: Ah, can I try?
Ms. Carolyn: Sure. Just use every one of your fingers, except your thumbs to play the castanets and then you can try to flamenco dance, too.
Maraya: Okay.
(She tries to flamenco dance and play the castanets at the same time but fails)
Maraya: Ole! (almost falls) Whoa!
Ms. Carolyn: I got you, Maraya.
Maraya: Phew, what a relief.
Ms. Carolyn (chuckling): Flamenco dancing isn't as easy as it looks.
Maraya: I know, plus, I don't want to do that for my class because there's too much multitasking in that one.
Ms. Carolyn: Well, there's one more dance that we hadn't tried yet and thought of.
Maraya: Which is?
Ms. Carolyn: The twist.
Maraya: The twist? What kind of a dance is that?
Ms. Carolyn: A 60s one.
Maraya: Ugh, first, you made me dance like John Travolta and now Chubby Checker? What kind of a person are you, Ms. Carolyn? A copycat?
Ms. Carolyn: No, I'm just smart because I was born way before you were.
Maraya: Oh, can you teach me how to do the twist?
Ms. Carolyn: Of course, because it's a very easy dance to do and this is how you do it.
(Imagination begins again)
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Come on, everybody,
Clap your hands
All you looking good!
I'm gonna sing my song 
It won't take long!
We're gonna do the twist and it goes like this:🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Come on, let's twist again,
Like we did last summer
Yeah, let's twist again,
Like we did last year🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Do you remember when, things were really hummin'?
Yeah, let's twist again,
Twistin' time is here!🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Heeee, and round and round
And up and down we go again
Oh, baby, make me know
You love me sooooo, 
And then:🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Twist again,
Like we did last summer,
Come on, let's twist again,
Like we did last year!🎵
(Instrumental)
Ms. Carolyn (speaking): Who's that flyin' up there?
Is it a bird?
Viewers (not seen): No!
Ms. Carolyn (speaking): Is it a plane?
Viewers (not seen): No!
Ms. Carolyn (speaking): Is it the twister?
Viewers (not seen): Yeah!
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Yeah, twist again,
Like we did last summer
Come on, let's twist again,
Like we did last year
Do you remember when, things were really hummin'?
Come on, let's twist again,
Twistin' time is here!🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Heeee, and round and round
And up and down we go again
Oh, baby, make me know
You love me sooooo,
And then:🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Come on, twist again,
Like we did last summer
Yeah, let's twist again,
Like we did last year🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing): 🎵Come on, let's twist again,
Twistin' time is here!🎶
(After the song ends, her imagination ends as well)
Ms. Carolyn: When you do the twist, you can also make your whole class dance, too, just like the square dance.
Maraya (sighs): Forget it, Ms. Carolyn, there's not a single dance I could do for my class on Friday. (walks away) I'm going to get on the bus.
(She is seen getting on the bus sadly. Then a calendar pops up and disappears when Thursday comes)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn! (panting)
Ms. Carolyn: What's the problem, Maraya?
Maraya: Everyone already knows what dance they're going to do for the class, except me. You gotta help me think of a perfect dance I can do for the class, or else I'll get an F! (sighs)
Ms. Carolyn: You don't have to do a dance for your class right.
Maraya: What do you mean, Ms. Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: What I'm meaning is that you don't have to choose a dance that you can't do.
Maraya: So? What's that gotta do with some homework assignment I have to do for my class?
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, there's no right or wrong way to dance, just as long as you're being yourself.
Maraya: Really?
Ms. Carolyn: Mm-hmm.
Maraya: Wow, thanks, Ms. Carolyn. Now that you've talked about it with me, I know exactly what dance I'll do for my class and I'm going to do it my way.
Ms. Carolyn: I'm glad. Let me know how it goes tomorrow after school.
Maraya: Okay.
(Scene changes to the next day where Maraya is in her class)
Ms. Sherrit: Okay, students, have you all decided what dance you're going to do in front of all of us?
Students: Yes, Ms. Sherrit.
Ms. Sherrit: Great. Now, who would like to go first?
(Nobody raises their hand except Novalee)
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): Novalee.
(She gets up from her chair to go up front)
Ms. Sherrit: So, Novalee, what dance have you decided to do for us?
Novalee: I've decided to do ballet because it's a very dainty dance and I'm very dainty myself, so I'm gonna show you a few moves, like this one.
(Ballet music starts to play when she does two plies)
Novalee: And this one.
(She does a pas de chat, which amazes everyone)
Others: Wow!
(She does more ballet moves and then stops by Ms. Sherrit)
Novalee: Now for the big moment of truth. (grunts) Ah!
Others (not seen): Wow!
(After the music ends, everyone applauds)
Others (not seen): (applauding)
Ms. Sherrit: Wow, Novalee, you've got some strong muscles just to life me up.
Novalee: Thank you, Ms. Sherrit.
(Novalee walks away)
Ms. Sherrit (looks at camera): Who would like to go next? (takes eyes off camera) Ashley and James?
(They both walk up front)
James: Me and Ashley decided to do the Bossa Nova today.
Others: The Bossa Nova?
James: Yes, that's our dance.
Ashley: If you want to know more about it, then we'll show you. Hit it, James.
(They start doing the Bossa Nova in front of everyone until they were done)
Others: (applauding)
James: Thank you. Thank you very much.
(After they walk away, Emily comes up)
Emily: Today, I'm going to tap dance for you. Hit it.
(When she begins, some music plays and then ends)
Others (not seen): (applauding)
Emily: Thank you.
(As soon as she walks away, Anna and Tori enter)
Anna: Hi, guys. Today, me and Tori have decided to disco dance for National Dance Week. (to Tori) Ready, Tori?
Tori: Yes.
Anna: Then let's go.
(Disco music starts playing when they begin dancing)
Anna: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Tori: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Anna: We like to do disco.
Tori: Because it causes no fiasco.
Both: Oh, yeah. We love to do disco.
Others (not seen): (applauding)
(Camera points at Nick when he raises his hand)
Nick: Ms. Sherrit, can I go next?
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): Sure, come on, Nick.
(Nick gets up to go up front)
Nick: Ladies and gentlemen, presenting my dance for all of you, the tango!
(Tango music starts playing when he starts singing)
Nick (singing): 🎵What's a dance that's fancier than the waltz?
Tastier than a mango?
It's the famous tango, yes it is
The famous tango🎶
(Song ends and applauding)
Nick: Thank you, everyone!
(He walks back to his seat and then Jamarcus and Jalen come up)
Jamarcus: For our dance today, we decided to do some break dancing.
Jalen: Because we like rap.
Jamarcus: That's right, Jalen. Okay, you can begin the dance.
Jalen: Okay, Jamarcus. (to others) Watch this, everyone.
(Rap music begins to play when they start dancing and then ends when they are done)
Others (not seen): (applauding)
Jalen: Thank you.
(After they walk away, Erin comes up next)
Erin: Hey, everyone, guess what dance I'm doing?
(The chicken dance music starts playing when Erin starts dancing)
Ms. Sherrit: That's obviously the chicken dance, wow.
(Music stops when she is done)
Others (not seen): (applauding)
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): Okay, Maraya, you're the only one left. Come show us what dance you've decided to do for us.
Others (not seen): (applauding)
(Instrumental)
Maraya (singing): 🎵When I tried to decide on a dance
That I could do for the class,
There were so many that I couldn't even do
I tried to do tap and flamenco and even ballet
But I fell on my bottom and thought to myself, "This dance is going to be a delay", 
Until Ms. Carolyn said,
"There's no right or wrong way to dance"
There's no right or wrong way
You can dance however you like
And that will make your day🎵
(Short instrumental)
Maraya (singing): 🎵I was recommended more dances that I could do
Like the waltz, tango, and even disco
But when I tried those, I fell again and wanted to give up until Ms. Carolyn said,
"There's no right or wrong way to dance"
There's no right or wrong way
You can dance however you like
And that will make your day, hey,
"There's no right or wrong way to dance"
There's no right or wrong way
You can dance however you like
And that will make your day
And that will make your day🎶
(Song ends)
Others: (applauding and cheering)
(Maraya is seen bowing and then stops when Ms. Sherrit walks up)
Ms. Sherrit: Wow, Maraya, that was great. What kind of dance was that?
Maraya: It's a special dance that I decided to do. It's called freestyle and I did it my way.
Ms. Sherrit: Well, you should teach us how to do it because we liked yours the best.
Maraya: Of course.
(Scene changes again to where the whole class is dancing freestyle)
Novalee: Ah! (to Maraya) What do you think of my dance moves, Maraya?
Maraya: They're great!
Novalee: Thank you!
(After Novalee leaps to the other side, Maraya tells her one more thing)
Maraya: And oh, don't forget that's there's no right or wrong way to dance!
(Maraya looks at the camera to wink and then the scene changes once again to where she gets to her bus later)
Maraya: Oh, hey, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn (turns around): Oh, hey, Maraya, how did your dance for your class go?
Maraya: It went great!
Ms. Carolyn: That's good.
Maraya: I guess you're right, Ms. Carolyn. There is no right or wrong way to dance, just as long as I'm being myself.
Ms. Carolyn: Yes, I am, indeed. And because you learned another lesson from me, let's celebrate with one last dance.
Maraya (hits head): I thought that we were done with thinking about certain dances I should do.
Ms. Carolyn: Not quite yet, Maraya, but almost. And by the way, all of us are also included in this dance, too.
Maraya: Oh, what is the dance called?
Ms. Carolyn: The "Carolyn Conga"!
Maraya: Oh, yeah, that's the one where you lead the conga line while we hold onto you, right?
Ms. Carolyn: That's right. Wow, you even remember the dance.
Maraya: Yes, I do, because you taught me it over the summer while we were using our imaginations at your house.
Ms. Carolyn: And you even remember when it happened, wow. Just let me call the rest of the crew so we can all do it together.
Maraya: Okay.
Ms. Carolyn (sing-song voice): Oh, crew.
(The crew come to Maraya and Ms. Carolyn)
Ms. Carolyn: Listen up, we're going to do a dance called the "Carolyn Conga".
Others: Ooh.
Ms. Carolyn: When I call your name, I want you to line up behind that person, okay? I'll be here and Maraya will be right there. All right, the first person I'm going to call is...Clayton.
(Clayton walks up to her)
Ms. Carolyn: You'll be standing behind Maraya, okay?
Clayton: Okay.
(After he gets to Maraya, she calls the next person)
Ms. Carolyn: Cody.
(Cody walks up to her)
Ms. Carolyn: You're going to be behind Clayton, okay?
Cody (walking away): Okay, Ms. Carolyn.
(After he walks away, she calls Jonathan)
Ms. Carolyn: Jonathan.
(He walks up)
Ms. Carolyn: You're going to be right behind Cody.
Jonathan (walking away): Okay!
(As soon as he walks away, Ms. Carolyn calls Sydney's name)
Ms. Carolyn: Sydney.
(She and Ms. Brenda walk up to her)
Ms. Carolyn: You'll be standing behind Jonathan, and Ms. Brenda, you'll be standing behind Sydney.
Ms. Brenda: All right, Carolyn. Come on, Sydney.
(When they walk away, Ms. Carolyn gets everyone's attention)
Ms. Carolyn: Attention, crew. Today, I'll be teaching you the "Carolyn Conga". (not seen) First, hold the person in front of you on their hips.
(Everyone holds each other on the hips)
Ms. Carolyn: Then, you just walk up four steps and kick your leg out. Is that understood?
Others: Yes, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Great, then let's do the "Carolyn Conga"!
Others (not seen): Yay!
(Scene zooms out when they start doing the conga and in the meantime, the camera goes up and points at the sky. Then the scene fades out to end the episode)
