Michael: Is your friend Meg Pryor there with you? Her mother said that she might be.
Roxanne: (to Meg) He wants you.
Meg: I'm not here.
Roxanne: (back to the phone) She's not here. Can I take a message?
Michael: Yes you can. You can tell Meg that there is no excuse for what she did today. Because for every kid that dances on our show, there are a thousand - no, ten thousand - kids who wish they could. Roxanne: What did she do?
Michael: What did she do? She walked off the set right in the middle of the show. So you can tell Meg that if she plans on coming back to our show, she better take it a little bit more seriously next time, ok? Even if her best friend didn't get a chance to come back this week.
Roxanne: I'll tell her. And you can count on her to take it very seriously from now on. In fact, I can guarantee that she'll be here next show. Oh, and so will I. Bye, Mike. (hangs up) (edit) Meg: Um I have to leave the show.
Michael: What?
Meg: The only reason I'm on American Bandstand is because my best friend Roxanne Vidorsky got us on. So I can't be on the show unless she is too. So if you want her to dance the show, that would be really great, but you have to call her and ask her. Or else I can't be on the show. I just can't. (hands Michael phone number and walks off) (edit)
