The sign says, "Sweet Baby Jesus and Pay Us, Too!" which is a riff on something her Abbott Elementarycharacter said in season one ("Sweet baby Jesus and the grown one too!").

Members of the SAG-AFTRA actors union join writers on the picket lines at Paramount Studios in Hollywood on Thursday, August 31, 2023. Signaling increasing frustration with the Writers Guild of America, Hollywood studios took the unusual step of publicizing their latest offer to the guild last week. The decision appeared aimed to force cracks in the resolve displayed by Hollywood's labor unions throughout the summer of strikes. But the strategy seemed to have backfired, sparking a torrent of criticism from WGA members.
