Transcript

Narration box:
I know... You want to see what happened at karaoke. So let's backtrack a bit.

Panel 1:
(Count Spurlock and Desdemona at their desks)
Count Spurlock: How did your apology to Cassie go?
Desdemona: Great! She's coming to karaoke tonight!

Panel 2:
(Count Spurlock looks alarmed, pointing)
Count Spurlock: You can't invite her to our end-of-the-quarter karaoke bash!
Desdemona: Why not??

Panel 3:
(Count Spurlock, arms crossed, angry)
Count Spurlock: Because she's management! We blow off steam, complain about bonuses, and scream-sing Bon Jovi. She doesn't belong!

Panel 4:
(Count Spurlock continues passionately)
Count Spurlock: Besides... adding Cassie will completely throw off our arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Panel 5:
(Desdemona shrugs, dismissively)
Desdemona: Oh, poo. She can have my part. It doesn’t take much skill to say "Galileo! Galileo!"

Panel 6:
(Count Spurlock points dramatically)
Count Spurlock: When you had the "Beelzebub" part, you accidentally summoned him!
Desdemona: You're just mad he’s a better tenor than you.

Panel 7:
(Count Spurlock throws up his arms in frustration and storms away.)
Count Spurlock (yelling): AARRGH! This is gonna be "Cell Block Tango" all over again!
Desdemona (making a pinching gesture with her fingers): squish.

Panel 8 (Narration box):
That night, at the karaoke bar…

Miss Match (toasting Cassie with her bottle of beer:
OK… You weren’t just singing…
That was some full-on Patti-Lupone-level belting!

Panel 9 (Miss Match and Cassie standing with drinks):
Cassie: Songs are like men. It’s all about tension, tempo and timing.

Panel 10 (Miss Match putting a hand on Cassie's shoulder):
Miss Match: And trust. Cap told me how you were there for him when he needed you.

Panel 11 (Miss Match, serious):
I don’t want things to be weird between us.
Cassie: Treat him right, and we’ve got no problems.

(Cassie continues):
Treat him wrong, and, well… Ballads aren’t the only thing I’m good at belting.

(Catnip and Desi are singing passionately on stage with a mic, as the background screen shows karaoke lyrics to “I Kissed a Girl”. Others watch from tables.)
