'''Potter''': GET IT OFF BEFORE IT BURNS! GET IT OFF ME, YOU IDIOT! '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis GET...IT..OFF..OF ME!]]''''' (''Jeff finally manages to remove the foam off Potter's face. He looks at the foam--as it forms the perfect shape of Potter's head like a mask with the mustache literally stuck to it. Potter gets up, his mustache ripped off and face now sunburnt red.'') My face! WHAT'VE YOU DONE TO MY FACE?!\\

'''Potter''': The...power. Turn...off...the...power. (''Jeff flips the switch back off'') I give up... (''Potter collapses to the floor. The hammer falls off the shattered bulb and hits him on the head'') ow!
