Back in the marketplace, Josh and his friends walk around, thinking of a plan to earn money. Eventually, Josh comes up with a plan to earn money.

"It's simple. We gather a crowd, sing, dance, put on a little show, and then people give us money."

"They just give us the money?" Hayley asked.

"We don't take it out of their pockets or swindle them or anything?" Mark added.

"I told you, we're turning over a new leaf." Josh replied. "We're going to earn our money."

"I dunno." Mark said. "People paying to watch other people sing and dance?"

He turns to Hayley.

"Who does that?"

"It might be exciting to get some positive attention for once." Hayley told him.

"Exciting?" Patrick said. "Performing like dancing monkeys for loose change? It's embarrassing! It's degrading!"

"You can sing lead." Josh told him.

Patrick got excited.

"It's show time!"

The four friends prepare their dancing positions.

"A five, six, seven, eight!"

As they start dancing, the townsfolk gather around to watch.
