The scene opens with Logan sleeping on the couch. Soon enough, Danny slowly walks up to him and whispers without trying to disturb - ironically.
Danny: (whispers) Mr Logan, I need your help.
Logan: (tiredly) Danny, I already told u. I can't create a time trampoline that bounces you into another dimension [laugh track]
Danny: No, not that. I've got a fish bone stuck in my throat
Logan: (quickly opens his eyes in alarm and sits up) How?!
Danny: I was eating and then -
Logan: (cuts in) I mean, how are you still talking? (rushes to get a bottle of water and surgical hand gloves) U don't talk when you have a bone stuck in your throat.
Danny: (smirks) It's kind of my thing! [laugh track]
Logan: (hands the bottle to Danny while wearing the surgical gloves) You're so lucky this is the first time
Danny: (gulps some water) No, this is the fourth time; the first time was the last time, in class. (Logan tries to recall the "actual" last time...)

[Flashback]
Logan: (stacking some notes on the table, smiles to himself) Now, I can happily eat my lunch without any interruptions. (However, Logan's eyes dart toward Danny standing up from his chair. He becomes anxious) Oh, no. This is never good [laugh track] (turns toward Drea and whisper shouts) Drea, cover for me! I'm your teacher and I command it!
Drea: (confused) Am I supposed to be Lady Gwen from Merlin? Or Morgana? [laugh track] (Logan points at Danny about to walk toward them) Nope, never good. Teacher, lay low! I got this! [laugh track] (Logan acts like he's asleep on the table)
Danny: (arrives at Logan's table, talks in a worried state) Mr Logan, I need your help. (pauses, notices Logan's sleeping, but for some reason, he won't leave) Mr Logan? It's Danny speaking [laugh track]
Drea: (in a British accent) Danny, the teacher is quite asleep and needs no disturbance.
Danny: (frowns and responds similarly) British, ay? Two can play at this. (exhales before shaking Logan furiously, talks in baby voice) Teacher, please, it's your Danny! The Phantom Boy! Look at me, look at your Danny! Don't you love me anymore?! [brief laugh track]
Drea: (rolls her eyes in frustration) I tried, God. I tried [laugh track].
Logan: (sits up tiredly) Danny, I'm tired. Can u come back later? OK?
Danny: But if I do, I won't be alright.
Logan: (exhales deeply) OK, what is it?
Danny: (grinning widely) I got a bone stuck in my throat [laugh track]
Logan: (sits up) Are you OK? Stay still.
Danny: (murmurs) I can't, I'm 5 [laugh track]
Logan: (confused) Doesn't it hurt?
Danny: (shrugs) Not one bit. (Logan's right eye starts to twitch) Mr. Logan, is something wrong with your eye?
Logan: (annoyed) No, but something is VERY wrong with you! Seriously, WHAT DA F-
Pupils: SHHHHHHHH!! [laugh track as Logan stops mid sentence and simply glares at a confused Danny. Flashback ends]

Danny: (holding a tiny fish bone) Ahh, good times.
Logan: (glaring) Yeah, a good time to almost get me fired [laugh track].
Zoey: (walks out of the room, dressed in a blue gown) Logan, I'm off to Helen's office party. I'll return by 7.
Logan: (stands up) Zoey, Danny had a bone stuck in his throat, and u did nothing about it
Zoey: (grins nervously) I sent him to you, 'cause he adores you. Danny is an angel.
Logan: (unmoved) Spill.
Zoey: Your son is a wild one [laugh track]. Last week, he had a fish bone stuck in his throat, and I never got to hear the end of it
Logan: U say it like we never hear the end of Danny.
Danny: Yeah, I visit three times a week. How do you not know this? (fakes dramatic sadness) I feel like I don't know you guys [laugh track]
Logan: Danny, did u annoy Miss Zoey about a fish bone?
Danny: (grinning, despite the seriousness of the situation) I didn't disturb her at all...

[Another flashback]
Zoey: (sitting on the couch while making a phone call) No, Grace. I already told u that Jay can not come to my place on Friday (pause). Yes, I have to watch Danny this time, while Logan is out of town. He's a sweet kid (another pause while Zoey frowns). Stop laughing, Danny is a sweet kid [laugh track]. Yes, he is noisy, but he does not create big problems as you say. (Meanwhile, Danny walks into the living room majestically while holding a toy megaphone)
Danny: Greetings, Lady Zoey of this house [laugh track]
Zoey: (glances at Danny before rolling her eyes) You know what? You're right, let me call you back. [laugh track] (ends call before facing Danny, somewhat uninterested) What do you want?
Danny: (exhales) I have a song for you, malady.  And thou assures u, a good one
Zoey: (slumps back on the couch) U spoke in British; it can never be good [laugh track]
Danny: (stands with his hands on his waist and starts to rap off-key) I got a bone in my throat, got two bones in my throat, I was eating my sushi dish, but made mistake with the fish!
Zoey: (quickly sits up) Ehh?! [Laugh track]
Danny: (smiles obliviously) Ooh, you like it? Let me sing more! (in an opera-like voice) FISH BOOOOOO...!
Zoey: NO! (Stands up quickly, rushes to the kitchen to get water, while yelling) DANNY, DON'T YOU DARE SING ANOTHER WORD!! (returns with a water bottle and pours water into his mouth to stop him from singing) [laugh track]
Danny: (gulps down the water before coughing. Unsurprisingly, Danny smiles at a worried Zoey) Thanks, Miss Zoey.
Zoey: You're welcome, Danny. (sits down on the couch) But please, never in your life, sing when you've got a bone in your throat. Or u could sing at a place you're not supposed to [laugh track] (Zoey glances at her phone and notices she never ended the call. She picks up her phone) Hey, Grace. Vas happening? (frowns) It was just um, a Danny Phantom episode. (pause) Why would I lie to you?
Danny: (audibly) Isn't that what you're doing?
Zoey: (bluntly) Child, sit down and don't make me tell another lie [laugh track]

[Flashback ends]
Danny: So, instead, I have to talk and not sing about it anymore
Logan: (staring blankly) I don't think u get it, do you?
Danny: (grinning) Yuh! [laugh track]
Zoey: How did u even forget about it? I told u three days ago
Logan: (confused) You did?
Danny: (nods) Oh, yuh, we did.

[Another flashback]
Logan: (watching TV while eating ice cream, comments) You're supposed to go that way. What's wrong with you?
Zoey: (angrily walks in with Danny) Logan, tell Danny to behave. He keeps getting bones stuck in his throat on purpose!
Logan: (too focused on the TV) Relax, he's just a kid. And aren't those bones protecting his throat; like a windpipe or something?
Zoey: (rolls eyes) I mean, actual bones. It's a big hazard.
Logan: (eats another ice cream scoop) Sure, Danny, be nice and don't do that again.
Zoey: Thank u (starts to leave with Danny)
Logan: (at the TV) Hey, you are blocking my way. Move already! [laugh track]
Danny: (confused) I'm right here. Am I that invisible, despite all my efforts? (Zoey glares at Danny) [laugh track]

[Flashback ends]
Logan: That happened? (Zoey and Danny nod) How was I supposed to know that? Harry Styles was on TV [laugh track]
Zoey: (surprised) That was Harry??
Logan: (raises an eye brow at Zoey) U know I don't listen to anyone when it's not Harry [laugh track]. That being said, I'm going back to being in Harry's band (tries to lay back down)
Danny: (exhales) Teacher, we've been over this. You're not in Harry's band. He doesn't even know you exist.
Logan: (smirks) Oh, he does. In my version.
Zoey: No, big head, it's Danny's Version. The scene title literally says so (points at the ceiling)
Danny: Yup, the one time I'm proud of having my story to tell! [laugh track]
Logan: (stares at the ceiling briefly) What title?
[Another laugh track]
Zoey: (rolls eyes) Are you blind? (looks at her phone) Great. I'm almost late, I've got to go to the party now. (leaves the house)
Logan: And I've got a dream meeting to attend [laugh track] (Logan prepares to sleep again, but Danny sits on the couch)
Danny: Teacher Logan, if you meet Harry, say hi to him for me
Logan: (confused) I thought u didn't believe that Harry knew me
Danny: That's why I said if. (shrugs) If he doesn't kick you off stage before you ruin the meet-and-greet for him. [Laugh track and applause as Danny returns to the room, while Logan is left puzzled at Danny's blunt remarks]
The scene ends...
