Gonzo the Great plans to quit the show after receiving an offer from a film studio in Bombay. A jealous Piggy asks Gonzo to keep her in mind when talking to producers. Gonzo performs a tearful "I Did It My Way", and then leaves the theater. He ends up coming back -- the producers really meant to hire Gonzo the Mediocre -- but he has to face his replacement, Trevor the Gross...
