He surveys the carnage on stage and among the audience and nods in satisfaction.] FRANCOIS: Francois see Snark-person and other people meet Francois's cousins. Good boys, but can be rambunctious. Francois saying thanks to all people for giving award that look like dead nerd boy to Francois. Is what Ogrons call 'Kodak moment'. 'Kodak' be Ogron word for 'make funny feeling in chest like when girl-Ogron smack with board for first time'. Francois touched. But, not be expecting Francois to get mushy, yes? Just... thanking all people, on behalf Francois, Mr. Moggie, and crazy hillbilly author. [FRANCOIS turns and strides off the stage, talking to a sock-puppet cat that he has pulled from his pocket.] FRANCOIS: (to puppet, excitedly) See? They _like_ Francois, Mr. Moggie! They really _like_ Francois!
