Fey gathered everyone around her, including the penguins (except for Skipper), the lemurs, and Antonio and the rest of the zoo animals. (Antonio had stayed overnight at one of the empty habitats.)
The Red Panda assembeled the group in three circles.
Mort, Bada, Bing, and Joey sat together. Mort screamed: "Group hug," and hugged Bada's toe.
Kowalski sat alone with Stacy. Fey asked Private to join them.
Rico, for the time being, joined the skateboarders, which consisted of Leonard.
Fey mixed some of the chameleons into the last two groups.
"Ok, Mort, you start singing with me, ok?" she said.
Fey and Mort (in his falsetto voice):
You can bet
There's nothin' but net
When I am in a zone and on a roll
But I've got a confession (Mort: What's a confession?)
My own secret obsession (Mort: What's a obsession?)
And it's making me lose control (What's making me lose control?)
Fey face-palmed herself.
"Ok, let's move on," she said and pointed at Stacy to begin.
Stacy:
Look at me
And what do you see
Intelligence beyond compare (Mort: What's intelligence? Kowalski: Something you don't have. Fey: Quiet!)
Stacy:
But inside I am stirring
Something strange is occuring
It's a secret I need to share
Kowalski: Open up, dig way down deep.
Stacy: I love you, Kowalski! I always have!
Kowalski: Not another peep!
Fey: No! Wha-
Everyone else: No, no, no, noooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo.
Fey: You guys, listen-
Leonard:
Listen well
I'm ready to tell
About a need that I cannot deny
Fey: Can you stop singing for a second? This is NOT what I want-
Julien:
This is not what I want!
This is not what I planned.
And I just gotta say
I do not understand
Something is really
Antonio: Something's not right.
Fey: (sighing) You bet...
Julien: Really wrong
And we gotta get things
Back where they belong
Fey: QUIET!
Clock ticking. Fey sighs.
Everyone else: Noooooooooooooo, no, no, no
Sick to the stuff you know
If you want to be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow, oh no
Stick to the status quooooooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status
Stick to the status
Stick to the status quo
Fey: That... that... that was very... well, break. Good job, guys.
Everyone walks out, Stacy drooling all over Kowalski.
Fey sighs for the third time. "I hate High School Musical."
