I thought you were to make the comment: "how did that monkey get in here?"

Because if you're going to die, you need to make sure you sound as cool as Barry White, right up until the end.....for the CVR's sake.
You can do a PA through the comm panel on the 737 but it carries a high risk of embarassing yourself if you don't get the buttonology right. It's more typical to use the mic on the back of the pedestal or the PA function on the cockpit interphone to make PAs. I've learned this lesson the hard way.Maybe a dumb question, but what is the comm panel like in a 737? Does it need to be specifically set to use the PA or is it thumb up, intercom, thumb down, radio?
Maybe some here have some advice to share about what to say, and more importantly, what not to say.

I've opened those armored doors in front of passengers as two or three pieces fall on the floor... It's usually trim pieces but they don't know that. These doors cost $80k and are bulletproof I tell them..... Sure, whatever you say captain as they roll their eyes."I'm behind an armored door, so you can gasp and roll your eyes all you want, we'll get there when we get there. If I feel like it."
I'm pretty sure the last words of the Captain of the AA 757 that crashed into a mountain in Colombia were, "Pull up Baby!", or something along those lines.If your remember PSA Flt 182, the last thing the Captain transmits is "this is it baby", sounding calm and cool.
"Pull up Baby!"

Being a geek historian, in 1974, a Navy aggressor pilot and Mig killer was trapped in his aggressor A-4 Skyhawk, seat wouldn't fire. Last thing he said, very calmly, was "well, see you guys later." I only wish I could be that calm in that situation.
Wouldn't have hurt..IMS, he might have been better served by "retract the spoilers".
