The boys enter the recording studio to get ready to record "Can You Stand The Rain". Ralph soon shows up while Johnny is introduced into the group but little does he know, Johnny is actually joining the group.

Mike- " What's good Rizz?"

Ralph - " Yo, what's going on? Why is he here." 

Jimmy Jam- " Wait..you guys didn't tell him Johnny was in the group?"

Ralph- " The hell you mean Johnny's in the group? Since when?"

Mike- " Since now. Label already signed off."

Johnny- "Listen, listen man I don't know what's going on but nobody told me you didn't know."

Ralph- " Not only did I not know, nobody even asked me for my opinion."

Ronnie- " Oh, I was gonna call you Rizz but I had that modeling gig. You know expanding my horizons, what have you."

Ralph- " Oh word?"
