Father: Uh-uh, no way! You girls willfully lied to me! You are never to dance AGAIN!
[ The lights fade out and JOHN LITHGOW ENTERS. ]
John Lithgow: Good evening. Im John Lithgow. The following skit which you just saw was not intended for comedic purposes but to illustrate a true-life situation which occurred, later becoming the basis for the movie Footloose. You know, as 27 years have passed since that film was made, many of the themes still hold true today. More so, their importance could warrant a remake of the film for todays generation.
[ Lithgow glances OFF-CAMERA. ]
John Lithgow: What!? Theyve remade Footloose!?!?Well, whens it coming out ? October 14th!?!?!!? Who did they get for Rev. Moore ? DENNIS QUAID!!! THEY GOT QUAID!!! QUAID!!!!! I cant take this anymore! Girls, put on the music, I THINK WE NEED TO DANCE!
[ The daughter puts on Footloose by Kenny Loggins. All the girls start dancing around Lithgow. He gently pushes them away after awhile.]
John Lithgow: Girls, please! Im better doing this on my own!
[ The girls step aside as Lithgow mimics Kevin Bacons famous two-step routine from the film. ]
