- He stands up and tells them all that they think it's about time that Gypsy put on a formal piano recital to show off how talented she is and display Granny's piano teaching talents.
- Love and Porter have decided that they'll do this for her thirteenth birthday, which is two months away. They want to invite the whole town.
