After tapping on Chief Knockahomer's exclamation mark

Chief Knockahomer We go by Shredder and Chief Rock-Da-House now, thank you.
Chief Knockahomer Otto, what's wrong? We're on!
Otto - Sad I don't know, man. Now that I'm up here...what if everyone laughs at me?
Chief Knockahomer Otto, I mean "Shredder", if I've learned one thing about humans, it's that you're all motivated by a depressingly shallow combination of greed, petty grievances, and fear.
Chief Knockahomer But I'll also be nice and pretend something called "heart" is involved and that you have it.
Otto - Sad Thanks, man, but I don't know...
Chief Knockahomer Besides, remember what you kept telling me when I helped you bake brownies instead of practicing? "That shrimp ain't gonna eat itself".

Skinner - Annoyed Well, you would have, but unfortunately you're disqualified because Chief Rock-Da-House isn't a school employee. Plus I'm just irritated you made me endure all this.
Skinner - Happy The trophy, and $40 Dead Lobster gift card, go to Lunchlady Dora and her dazzling array of sausage link whip tricks!
Otto - Annoyed No way, man! I'm not leaving this stage till the trophy, and the gift card, are mine!
Lunchlady Dora - Annoyed *cracks sausage whip* Off the stage, hippie, or there's more where that came from!

Chief Knockahomer Well, this was all rather unfortunate.
