Dr. Adrian's coconut bra

that it was Dr. D'Adrienne

who crashed

We are looking

directors, actors and best boys.
Winners will fly standby

a ten-year non-union internship.

This week,
our talent scout will be in--

ROOMBA: Error! Error! Error!

And I know the perfect play!

"Twister: The Game:
The Musical!"

Wait a minute.
You wrote a musical

-based on Twister? The game?
-I did.

And I think you and JFK
would be perfect for the leads.

What? I mean,
you're my best friend

and I'd do anything for you,
but I'm not an actor.

You don't have to act.
You and JFK already have

such white-hot sexual chemistry.

We are White and hot.

But I'm a jock.

If I do a musical,
the team will razz me.

You can totally do both, bro!

Football should not define you
as a person.

And we'll be front row center
opening night to support you!

Thanks, team.

Your fourth-string kicker
won't let you down!

What do you say, baby?
Will you take me

to be your leading man?
Not just in life,

and in the backseat
of my Kia Sportage

during lunch hour,
but also on the stage!

Oh, I hate musicals, but okay!
