## Transcript

Darnell: Man, I can't believe I called Tina the N-Word four times and got grounded for that! What will I do now? I know! I will make a band. I will call my friends Darryl Damon, Devon Einstein, Jack Walters, Simon Starship, Simon Penza and Meowser.

After Darnell called his friends, they were at the Third Street School stage.

Darryl: Now that we're here, we will say our positions. I'll be on the left playing the banjo.

Devon: I'll be second from left on the fiddle.

Jack: I'll be third from left on the guitar.

Darnell: I'll be fourth from left as the lead singer and playing the accordion.

Simon Starship: I'll be fifth from left on the bandolin.

Simon Penza: I'll be sixth from left on the four-string banjo.

Meowser: I'll be seventh from left on the mandolin.

Manager: Daryll, Devon, Jack, Darnell, Simon Starship, Simon Penza and Meowser, what would you like to name your band?

Darnell: I would like to call my band Darnell's Country Septet.

Manager: Your performance will be at 6:30 PM.

At 6:30 PM...

Lieutenant Griswald: Private, why are you not doing your homework?

Gus Griswald: Because Pop, there's something special on TV.

Lieutenant Griswald: Okay, let's see what's on TV.

Announcer: And now, Darnell's Country Septet.

Darnell: Okay, our first song we're going to perform is a country/love song. It's called "The Roseville Fair."

(The Roseville Fair starts playing)

Darnell (singing): *Oh, the night was clear and the stars were shinin',
The moon came up so quiet in the sky.
All the people gathered round; the band was tunin'.
I can hear them now playin' “Comin' Through the Rye”.*

*You were dressed in blue and you looked so lovely,
A gentle flower of a small town girl.
You took my hand and we stepped to the music
With a single smile you became my world.*

All (in unison): *And we danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo,
Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air.
So long ago and we still remember
When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair.*

Darnell: *We courted well; we courted dearly,
And we'd rock for hours in the front porch chair.
Then a year went by from the time I met you
And I made you mine at the Roseville Fair.*

All (in unison): *And we danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo,
Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air.
So long ago and we still remember
When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair.*

(instrumental break)

All (in unison): *So here's a song for all of the lovers,
Here's a tune that they can share.
May they dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo
The way we did at the Roseville Fair.
May they dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo
The way we did at the Roseville Fair.*

As the song ended, everyone applauded.

Darnell: Thank you everyone.

Later at Betsy's house...

Daphne: Darnell, where were you?

Betsy: We had us worried sick and we were about to call the police!

Darnell: Well Daphne and Betsy, I made a band called Darnell's Country Septet.

At Joey's house...

Catherine: Simon Starship, words cannot begin to describe how mad your son and I are! We can't believe you joined Darnell's country band without asking us first!

Joey: I have to agree with Mom! You should be ashamed of yourself!

Simon Starship: I don't want to be ashamed of myself, Joey and Catherine! I was bored for crying out loud! Also, what happened to you Joey?

Catherine: Simon, how dare you refuse to be ashamed of yourself, talk back to us and join Darnell's country band just because you were bored! You are grounded grounded grounded for 12 days! Also, the reason why Joey is now different because he got plastic surgery to make him look and sound like an adult! Go to your room and I will tell the manager to cancel your performance before it's recorded on Audio CD!

Simon Starship (running upstairs): This is not fair! All I wanted to do was become popular!

At Keith's house...

Bridget: Simon Penza, we are so disappointed in you! We can't believe you joined Darnell's country band without our approval!

Keith: This has gotten to be the worst thing you have ever done! You need to learn your lesson!

Simon Penza: No! I don't want to learn my lesson! I was just bored, and Keith, what happened to you?

Bridget: What?! How dare you refuse to learn your lesson, talk back to us and join Darnell's country band just because you were bored?!

Keith: Do you want to know what else is not fair Dad? Joining Darnell's country band without my mom and my permission! That's what else is not fair!

Bridget: I have to agree with Keith on this one! Also, you are not going to join in any bands until you're ungrounded!

At Dark Meowser's house...

Dark Meowser: Dad, I can't believe you joined Darnell's country band without asking me!

Meowser: But Dark Meowser, I was bored. I'm sorry.

Dark Meowser: Your sorry doesn't sail the ship! You are grounded grounded grounded for 12 days and I will call CJ Randolph to take you to jail!

Dark Meowser: Too bad! I'm calling him!

After Dark Meowser called  CJ Randolph...

CJ Randolph: You're going to jail! Come with me!

CJ Randolph took Meowser to jail much to his dismay.

Meowser: Nononononononononononono! I can't believe I'm going to jail! Can things get any worse? Waaaaaaaaaaa! I want out! I want out! I WANT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUT!

Meowser: Please! No! I don't want to go to jail! I don't want to go to jail! I! Don't! Want! To! Go! To! Jail!

​Cat Princess: Meowser, calm down! You're not going to jail just for joining Darnell's Country Septet band! It was just a bad dream!

Meowser: I understand Cat Princess, but I'm still nervous. Can you help me calm down?

Cat Princess: What if I turn myself into Comedy World and get into my bikini, how would you feel?

Meowser: Maybe that would help me calm down, so change into Comedy World and get into your bikini.

Cat Princess changes into Comedy World and gets into her bikini. Then Meowser touches her legs.

Cat Princess: Did that get your mind off the bad dream?

Meowser: It sure did.
