Act I
(Tom, Angela and Hank are having a dance party in the garage. Party music is playing, and Ben enters.)

Ben: What? Why are you dancing? (turns off music) You're supposed to be brainstorming ideas for something to do on the mayor's float at the Founders' Day parade!

Tom: Well, we were brainstorming, but then it turned into... (turns on music) a dance party!

Angela: Like all our brainstorming sessions!

Tom: Ha ha! Yeah!

Ben: (turns off music) Guys, this is important. Tom's the new mayor. His presentation at this parade will set the tone for the whole year. (walks to computer) Lucky for you, I've prepared something that's really going to impress the whole crowd. (hits a key on a keyboard, a paper appears.)

Tom: Hm. (reads paper) "Our cyclical municipal dynamics of..." (snores) Ben, this is just a boring speech.

Ben: B-b-b-b-boring speech?! It's a detailed summary of the state of the town! You're the mayor. What are you going to do? Dance around for people?

Tom: Whoa! That's it! My presentation will be a big mayor dance! Yeah, thanks! (turns music on)

Angela: Smart brain thought, Ben!

Ben: No, that's not what I-

Hank: Yeah, Ben! We are picking up what you are throwing down! (The friends dance around Ben.)

Tom: We are feeling the mayor groove!

(The scene transforms into a desert. The friends transform into cavemen, making animal noises.)

Ben: Ok, this is fun, but if we could just get back to the data.

Tom: Oh, yeah, I can work the data in.

(Tom dances towards the computer. He slips on a paper and falls.)

Tom: Ow, ow! My knee!

Hank: Aw, man.

Tom: Aw, Ben, look what you did. How am I going to do my big mayor dance now?

Angela: Hey, don't blame Ben. He didn't know his idea was so dangerous.

Ben: My idea was fine! You guys just didn't listen to me!

Hank: Didn't we? Thought we did. (Ben groans.)
