[ everyone – except Darrell, who leans against the lockers in the background, smoking a cigarette and tapping it against a coffee cap as he stares blankly – ducks offscreen ]

Jimmy Fallon: Heyyyy, guys!
[ the guys are as excited as a flock of teenage girls to see Jimmy ]

[ the familiar chords of “Summer Lovin'” pot up, as the girls become excitedly to see Jimmy nearby, and the guys goad Jimmy into making his way toward Tina ]

So I told her, we’d still be friends.”
Tina Fey: “Then we made, our true love vow.”

“Summer dreams, ripped at the seams
Bu-ut..”
