Thon! (or Attack of the Clones!)

Finale

by Scotto; lyrics by Paul Williams
(The cast, except Ron, lipsyncs and dances to this classic Muppet tune.)

MAXWELL:
It starts when we're kids, a show-off in school;
Makin' faces at friends, you're a clown and a fool.
Doin' prat-falls and bird-calls and bad imitations;
Ignoring your homework, now that's dedication.
You work to the mirror, you're getting standing ovations.
EVAN:
You're burning with hope,
EVAN & JEREMY:
you're building up steam.
What was once juvenilish
JEN:
is grown-up and stylish,
EVAN, JEREMY, & JEN:
You're close to your dream.
EVAN, JEREMY, JEN, CARRIE, MARCEA:
Then somebody out there loves you,
Stands up and hollers for more;
MAXWELL:
More!
EVAN, JEREMY, JEN, CARRIE, MARCEA, MAXWELL:
You found a home at the Magic Store.

(A musical interlude follows. While the cast dances, BIFF wraps things up.)

BIFF: That’s all for this year’s Maxwell Beep Intellectual Dystrophy Telethon. Thanks for watching, folks! We’ll be back next year, fighting the never-ending fight against the scourge of Intellectual Dystrophy! I’m Biff Jerky, saying, do yourself and all the rest of us a favor – jump off a fucking cliff already or something, would you?

(And then, we conclude…)

MAXWELL:
Life's like a movie, write your own ending
MAXWELL, JEN, CARRIE, MARCEA:
Keep believing, keep pretending
MAXWELL, JEN, CARRIE, MARCEA, EVAN, JEREMY:
We've done just what we set out to do.
Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you.

(As the group holds their final pose, RON strides out center stage in front of all them to finish up the number.)

RON: Der flim is okey dokey!
