Shirley: and the Brady's have probably been rehearsing for 10

With the Brady's

Carol:okay that was good but Jan you were a little flat just try to match Marcia's range

Jan: why is it always me who has to match her range why can't she match my range? it's always Marcia,Marica,Marcia,Marcia,Marcia!

Marcia: oh Jan you know it's much easier to reach my range then to reach yours

Keith is across the way just starting and drooling over Marcia

Shirley: Keith, are you even listening to me?

Keith: huh oh yeah this contest is really important we have to beat those Brady's

No matter how much Keith tries he cannot stop thinking about his fair maiden Marcia Brady

Mike: now kids the important thing is to-

Greg: we know dad is to have fun

Alice: with all due respect Mr. Brady that's a little overrated, the important thing is to beat those Partridges

The contest is underway but Keith and Marcia keep stealing glances at each other, Marcia can't take it anymore so when no parents are looking she takes Keith's arm and pulls him outside

Marcia: why do you keep on staring at me?

Keith: because you keep looking at me

Marcia: because you're staring at me Look this conversation is getting us nowhere we both know that I like you and you like me but there's no way Our parents will accept our relationship

Keith: it wouldn't work out anyway I was born and raised here in California, but now I'm traveling all the time

Mike,Carol,and Shirley are looking for Keith and Marcia

Mike: MARCIA!?

Shirley:KEITH!?

Carol: oh mike, where do you think she could be?

Mike: oh hunny i'm sure she's fine tell Alice to round up the kids

Carol and Alice round up the kids and they all split up to look for the eldest Brady girl, same with the Partridges only they are looking for the eldest boy. Shirley goes up to Mike and Carol

Shirley: this is all your fault. that daughter of yours has caused all the drama

Carol: our daughter? it's been your son from the start

Shirley: my kids and I are going to beat your Brady butts

Carol: wait, are you supposed to be preforming with them?

Shirley: yes

Unknown: that's against the rules

Cindy: oh Deidra you made it but uh...Marcia is missing no one can find her

Deidra: if anyone can find her it's going to be me her best friend, but big fan

Mr and Mrs Brady give Deidra look of betrayal
