Amir: What happened to your heavy rocking guitar? (To viewer) Hello friend.

Amir, you should test it.
And you at home, count the strings to see if there's one missing.

Kahn's Mother: That's it, Achmed! You're grou....
Pete: Just a moment! Wait!!!!
Achmed: Gounded.
Kahn's Mother: What?
Pete: I broke the strings on Achmed's guitar! I'm the one who should be punished! I accidentally broke the strings on Achmed's guitar when he loaned it to me. I'm very sorry Achmed. I didn't mean to break your guitar.
Kahn's Mother: Well I'm glad you came clean, Pete. Achmed, I'm sorry I blamed you for this. You're not really grounded.
Achmed: It's OK. Thanks. (To viewers) Welp. THAT's our show. See ya.
Pete: (To viewers) Yeah. By the way, don't forget to write to us.
