[applause]

[gavel pounding]

- All right everybody,

I hereby call to order this meeting

of Local 692,

the Honorable Union of Plumbers,

Pipefitters,--

- Hey, hey.

- and Soap Opera Actors.

[dramatic music]

- My heart burns as the world turns.

- I thirst for justice.

- La biblioteca.

Bismark: Charmed.

- Who are these people?

- As you know, in an effort to drive up membership,

we've had to merge with some of the other unions.

Jess: No, that makes no sense.

Dalton: Are you kidding me?

[glass breaking]

Arvin: Whoa!

Bismark: You made me perspire,

but I only glisten.

Leader: All right, all right, all right.

First item on the agenda is

the discussion of the new health plan

which was sent to membership for review.

I hereby open up the floor to what you call comment time.

Jess: I got a comment.

This plan stinks.

There's nothing about pre-existing conditions.

Arvin: Yeah, my son has asthma.

- I know too well of pre-existing conditions.

I was diagnosed with Tova syndrome, Nixon's disorder,

munchmouth and demonic possession.

And I was only in one episode.

Leader: Wait, wait, wait.

Boston: Stop!

Sh.

She's soliloquizing.

Go on, my sweet.

Bismark: I was in the hospital recovering--

Leader: No, no, no.

We are here to talk about the health plan, okay?

Sit down.

Any helpful comments?

Arvin: Yeah, I noticed it doesn't cover doctor's costs

for ER visits.

[dramatic music]

- Did someone say, 'Doctor?'

[dramatic music]

- You're a doctor?

- No, but I play one on TV.

All: Oh?

Monterey: Jes, he was my surgeon in episode 12.

[gasp]

[slap]

Bismark: Oh!

Cody: Yes, I separated her

from her evil, fraternal, conjoined twin.

[dramatic music]

[gasp]

- I played that evil, fraternal, conjoined twin.

Leader: Can we just stay focused?

Please!

- Oh, I played that evil, fraternal, conjoined twin.

- You already said that.

Bismark: She has amnesia.

[glass breaking]

- Oh!

[glass breaking]

Bismark: Here.

Monterey: Thank you.

[glass breaks]

Leader: Can we stop breaking glass!

[glass breaking]

Bismark: That one slipped.

Leader: Back to the health plan, if you guys took a second

to look at your union bylaws, you would see

you guys had ample time to communicate

each and every problem that you had with

[beeping]

What is that?

What is that!

Cody: He just suffered a massive stroke.

He's in a coma.

Bismark: No! No, please, no!

No, take me, take me!

Monterey: Don't pretend that you loved him.

Bismark: [gasps]

Monterey: You only wanted him for his money!

[slap]

Dalton: Oh, I knew it!

Okay.

Bismark: That's not true, but it hurts the same.

Dallas: Then how do you explain this?

Union Members: [gasp]

Leader: I'm gonna have to demand that you stop acting.

- Wait, wait, I want to know what's on that piece of paper.

[audience laughs]

- What piece of paper?

[gasp]

- Oh, she is good!

- I'll tell you what's on that piece of paper, it's--

Washington: Don't listen to him.

[dramatic music]

I was wrongfully imprisoned so Boston could steal land

from my family.

Uh.

On that paper, is--

[dramatic music]

♪♪

♪♪

Jess: Well, what's on the piece of paper?

Dalton: Come on,

you can't just leave it like that.

What's on it?

Bismark: You'll have to wait...

until next meeting.

Jess: Oh!
