N.C.This song's pretty good, huh? I bet you didn't know I was also a composer. In fact, while I've been
preparing for the apocalypse I've also been writing my own musical... Do you mind if I give you the pitch?

[PROFESSOR HIDGENS, spoken]
N.C.It's called: Working Boys: A New Musical. It's the story of a group of old college chums. Sure, they
found success in the business world. Still, they can't help but long for the simpler times, back in that
beat-up old house at the edge of campus. But those glory days, they're gone for good
Or, are they? This here, is the title number!
