本段選自 Modern Family（《摩登家庭》）中Cameron組織學生表演歌劇的一幕。原定的主角因病不能參加，而這正是愛表演的Manny爭取主角的絕佳時機。
Cameron: Okay, can I have everyone's attention, please? Reuben, hit me with a spot.That's a little harsh.Throw a pink gel on that.That's great.Perfect.All right, I will be recording today's rehearsal but don't let that make you self-conscious.I'm only using it to pinpoint your mistakes.Secondly, I have granted full set access to Maureen Schick, who will be reviewing your show tonight.
Manny: Uh, oh, she's vicious.Our last music teacher, Mr.Namagachi, never recovered from her article “Anything Blows”.
Cameron: But in fairness, I saw that production, and the lead soprano was an absolute disaster.No offense,Sophie.You've blossomed since then, sweetie, okay? No batteries in her mike, okay? Great.And lastly, Marcus Talbot.Guys, he's feeling a little under the weather.Fear not.He's home resting his instrument, and he will be ready for the show tonight.But I will need a phantom for his rehearsal.So anyone…?
Manny: I guess I could help.（I don't know how Marcus ever got the lead, but I know how he got sick…from chewing all that scenery.This was my chance to earn it back from that insincere phony.） But first, a silent prayer for our fallen captain Marcus.Godspeed, old friend.
Cameron：好了，大家能靜一靜聽我說嗎？Reuben，往我這裏打個燈光。太刺眼了，放個粉色濾光板上去。太棒了，完美。好了，我會錄下今天的排練，但你們別在鏡頭前感覺不自在。我只會用這個來指出你們的錯誤。第二，我讓全體劇組成員都能見到Maureen Schick，她今晚將來評論你們的表演。
Manny：完了，她很惡毒的。我們的前任音樂老師Namagachi先生讀了她的文章《爛得一團糟》心碎難平。
Cameron：但公平地講，我看過那場表演，首席女高音絕對是災難。無意冒犯 Sophie，你從那以後就全面綻放了，親愛的。不要給她的麥克風裝電池，好嗎？很好。最後，Marcus Talbot。夥計們，他感覺不太舒服。不要怕，他在家養精蓄“嗓”呢，他今晚還是能登台表演。但現在需要一個替身來排練他的部分。因此，誰……？
Manny：我想我能試試。（我不知道Marcus是怎麼當上主角的，但我知道他是怎麼生病的，都是那些舞台佈景給惡心的。現在是我從那個虛偽的冒牌貨手中奪回主角的機會。）但首先，先為我們可憐的Marcus做個默禱吧。祝好運，老朋友。
