[plays mellow coda]

[upbeat jazz music playing]

-It's not in here.
-He moved it again.

[Cuphead] Nope. Not here.

[Mugman] Not under here either.

[snoring]

[door opens]

[mumbling]

[snoring]

[gasps]

[Cuphead] Bingo!

[tense music playing]

[shattering]

[Mugman] Aw, jeez.

We gotta get these fixed
before Elder Kettle wakes up.

[Elder Kettle groans]

[gasp]

-[spluttering]
-[groans]

[Elder Kettle]
Boys, have you seen my glasses?

-[thud]
-Oof!

No, no, Kettle. You lost 'em somewhere.

Just like you… Oof!

[groans]

…always do.

Oh! There you are.

Okay, boys. Listen.

Stay put. I'll find 'em.

Last thing I need
is you two stepping on 'em. Got it?

[sniffles] Wow.

You're actually listening for once.

Thank you, boys.

-Ow!
-[thud]

[smashing sound]

[clerk] Let me get this straight.

You mean to tell me you two couldn't get
a cookie jar from a sleeping old man?

[glass shatters]

Look, lady, can you fix 'em or not?

Of course. But I don't like your tone.

Hmph!

-[blows raspberry]
-[muffled music]

Kindly turn that down. I hate music!

We're not playing music.

[music stops]

[humming]

What the heck was that?!

Hey! Get back here!

[screeching]

You seen a chalice run past here?

[somber music plays]

[coin rattles]

Oops. Uh, sorry.

[chuckles] Uh…

[upbeat music resumes]

[giggles]

[excited chatter]

Ho, ho, ho!

[chuckles] Aw…

Oh!

[whimpers]

Yay!

Tickets.

That's not a ticket.

How about now?

[gasps]

Ooh!

-[horses neigh]
-[g*nshots]

How does she get people
to just give her stuff?

She could definitely help us
get Elder Kettle's cookies.

[all] Shh!

Sorry.

[panting]

-Hey, where'd she go?
-I don't know.

It's like she just disappeared.

Whoa! Oof!

All right, who are you two working for?

Working? We don't have jobs.

Yeah. We're just a couple of dum-dums.

Zip it, ding-dong.
She don't gotta know we're dum-dums.

Why are you following me? Spill the beans
or you'll be spilling milk!

We just wanna learn
how you get so much free stuff.

And maybe hang out?

That's all, Ms…

The name's Chalice. Ms. Chalice.

You don't wanna get mixed up
with a gal like me.

This chalice is nothing but trouble.

We love trouble!

We do?

Yeah. Why, just this morning,
we decided to steal cookies

from our elderly caretaker.

When you put it like that,
I suppose we do love trouble.

[laughs] Oh, brother.

Looks like I got a couple
of real degenerates on my hands.

Yep. Degenerates.

We didn't actually get the cookies though.

-Hey!
-What?

We need her help.
We might as well be honest.

One thing you gotta know about me,

I get by without partners,
friends, anyone or anything.

This is a solo act. A one-person show.

Aw!

But your pathetic story charms me.

Wanna know how I do what I do?

Yeah!

You really wanna know?

Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

Okay, then. Pay attention.

[whistles] What a day.

You said it.

I gotta admit, I don't usually
stick around in one place this long.

But you two are kinda fun.
Ready for your test?

[both] Test?!

Come on. You two are naturals!
It's gonna be a breeze.

[panting]

All you gotta do

[ominous music playing]

Get inside and there's a surprise.

Surprise? We love surprises!

[out-of-tune piano melody]

[music quickens]

[full jazz orchestra plays]

-Hey, it worked!
-We are charming.

Great job, boys. Now here's your surprise!

[machine buzzes]

Is this a…

[boys] Cookie factory!

That's right. And it's all-you-can-eat.

Shh!

[both gasp]

Gee, what a couple of ding-dongs.

[siren wails]

[gasps] Cheese it, boys! The cops!

[both] Cops?!

[spluttering]

[cop] This is the police!

We have you surrounded!

[banging]

[gasps] Come on!

Get up!

-We gotta scram!
-[grunts]

[banging]

Sorry, boys.

I like ya, but not enough
to tangle with the cops.

So long, fellas.

[groans] My mug.

Oh, what happened? Where's Chalice?

You're under arrest!

[both scream]

[unconvincing humming]

[breathing heavily]

Whoa!

[both grunt]
