Four siblings, KATE, TOBY, PHILIUS, and GRAPE put the finishing touches on a grand machine (using fellow cast members as the various parts and pieces). PHILIUS flips the switch, setting the machine in motion. The siblings watch the moving parts with much excitement.

KATE: We’re finally done!
TOBY: This is the best invention ever!
PHILIUS: Of course it is; the design is flawless.
GRAPE: Only one thing left to do now.

The KIDS beam with excitement.

SIBLINGS:

LET'S SHOW MOM WHAT WE'VE DONE.
SHE WILL SURELY THINK IT'S FUN.
LET'S SHOW MOM AND SHE'LL TELL US
JUST HOW GREAT IT IS!

OH, I WANT TO SEE HOW SHE BEAMS
WHEN SHE SEES OUR LIVING DREAMS.
LET'S SHOW MOM AND SHE'LL SAY
HOW GREAT IT IS!

Suddenly, all of the moving parts and pieces begin singing along…

EVERYONE:

LET'S SHOW MOM OUR MACHINE.
IT'S LIKE NONE SHE'S EVER SEEN.
LET'S SHOW MOM AND SHE'LL TELL US
JUST HOW GREAT IT IS!

OH, I WANT TO SEE HOW SHE SMILES
WHEN SHE SEES OUR CRAZY STYLES.
LET'S SHOW MOM AND SHE'LL SAY
HOW GREAT IT IS!

LET'S SHOW MOM OUR DEVICE
AND SHE'LL THINK IT'S EXTRA NICE
LET'S SHOW MOM AND SHE'LL TELL US
JUST HOW GREAT IT IS!

OH, I WANT TO SEE HOW SHE SHINES
WHEN SHE SEES OUR NEW DESIGNS
LET'S SHOW MOM AND SHE'LL SAY
HOW GREAT IT IS!

MOM!
MOM!
MOM!

TOBY: Mom, you have to see this!
MOM: Not now, Toby. I’m trying to reschedule Kate’s piano lesson so it doesn’t conflict with Grape’s gymnastics class, which only barely allows me enough time to get Philius to Space Camp before coming home to take you to your baseball game.
KATE: But we’re finally done with our machine.
MOM: That’s great, kids. I’ll look at it later.

MOM resumes her phone conversation and exits. The SIBLINGS look glum.

SIBLINGS (dejected):

LET’S SHOW MOM AND SHE’LL SAY
HOW GREAT IT IS.
