We are going to make this production of Picnic the best thing Dewey High has ever seen since we did Our Town.
Mike: Well, we shouldn’t brag.

Maggie: Auditioning for a Broadway play? That’s ridiculous!Carol: That’s what he said!Jason: Carol, you expect us to believe that?
Carol: No, I don’t.Maggie: Then why are you telling us this nonsense?Carol: Because that’s what he told me. Look, I know the truth is he’s off doing something disgusting, probably illegal, most likely involving that Swedish exchange student.Jason: Ok. Thank you for your help.Carol: You mean it?Maggie: No. He means leave the room.Carol: Fine. Look, I just want you both to know, though, however you decide to punish him, I’m solidly behind you.Maggie: Jason, I am going to scream. He skipped his audition.Jason: I thought he was serious about drama. Carol: And for the record, I do think he should be severely punished.Jason: Thank you. Get out!
Jason: This audition would take a lot of guts and very little common sense. Maggie: Ok, that’s Mike alright, but I still think…
Jason: And is that something we really ought to punish?Maggie: So, you’re saying we should hope that Mike didn’t lie to us and cut school to waste time. We should hope that Mike lied to us and cut school to take his chance on Broadway?Jason: Yea, that’s about it.Maggie: But you agree we should punish him?Jason: Absolutely. But then we should take him out for dinner.

I mean, I proved…Monica: What, Mike? What did you prove?Mike: Well, that, that… I’m kidding myself.Monica: We’ve both been kidding ourselves.Mike: I just thank God I got my driver’s license back!
[Next scene]
Coach Luvok: Don’t use that language with me, mister.
Mike: Look, I’ve just kind of decided there’s no future for me in acting, alright? So, see you later.Coach Luvok: Hold it! Hold it! I said, hold it! Geez, if I wanted to be ignored, I’d go home! Now, look, Seaver. I know something’s been bothering you. I just want you to know the doors to my ears are always open. You can talk to me about anything. Home life, school, even S-E-X.Mike: Alright, alright. Look. Today I went to New York to audition for a Broadway play.
Coach Luvok: Are you nuts? You didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in Florida.

Mike: Well, look, you know, if I was good, really good, I would’ve gotten that part! But I’m not good enough for Broadway, I’m just good enough for some high school play with some P.E. coach as the director and boy am I sorry I just said that. Coach Luvok: Hey, hey, hey. You don’t have to apologize to me for what I am. I’m just the guy they send in whenever they can’t get a real teacher to do the job.Mike: Hey, come on, coach.Coach Luvok: Hey, Seaver.
