In this short scene, the brat tries to find the missing hua-ming. He's worried that he'll be unable to perform in the show because he's too tired to stand on stage. He begs the audience to help him find a replacement, but they refuse to believe that he can sing. He tries to convince them that there are still good students in the class, and that they should look for a replacement. He says that the next time they see him on stage, they should ask him why he needs to stand onstage and put himself in danger.
