You decide to make your way toward the practice rooms, but before you can even take a step, a trendy-looking man in his late 20s slides in front of you.

No! It's none other than Ralph the band director. Why now?!

"What's up, cool cat?" Ralph asks, rhythmically snapping his fingers and doing a little jig. "Funny seeing you here of all places! Haha!"

Alright. It's do-or-die now. What do you say to Ralph to convince him to leave you alone?

"Wait, my compadre, are you crying?" Ralph inquires, taking a step closer to you. "Are you okay, daddy-o?"


"I'm mighty fine, my tubular man!"

"I'm alright! I just got some water in my eyes after taking a hearty swig at the water fountain. Classic, am I right?"

"No, I'm not okay. I'm under so much stress, and I'm not sure how much longer I can take this. Everything's falling apart. Please, Ralph. You're the only one I can turn to."
