[Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon stand in front of the lockers, holding their election campaign posters.]
Hydrogen: Oxygen? Nitrogen? Carbon? You’re all running for president too?!
[Nitrogen raises his hand in a “stop” gesture.]
Nitrogen: Whoa whoa whoa, Hydrogen, chill.

Nitrogen: I’m just running for treasurer.
Carbon: I’m just running for secretary.

[Hydrogen breathes a sigh of relief.]
Hydrogen: Oh, phew.
Hydrogen: How ‘bout you, Oxy?

Oxygen: I’m running for presid
Hydrogen: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[Hydrogen screams so loudly that Carbon covers her head and Nitrogen raises his posters to deflect the letters of the scream as they fade into the distance.]
