As they make new friends ♪

Just to stay on track ♪

Better watch your back ♪

♪ So, if you're looking for fun ♪

♪ Yes, we're looking for fun ♪

[plays sad trombone]

[groans]

[ominous music plays]

[tense music playing]

Mugman?

Mugman?

Mugman?

Mugman?

[sad music playing]

What in the world's wrong, boy?

Did you lose something?

Uh-huh.

What could you possibly lose
to make you so upset?

M--

M--

My pocket Kn*fe!

Aw. Is that all?

That's easily replaceable.

It's not like you lost Mugman.

[gasps]

[wailing]

They're so emotional at this age.

[continues wailing]

Don't worry, Mugsy.

I'll find some way to bring you home.

[roars]

[menacing music plays]

[groaning]

[distant screaming]

[all grunting]

[shivering and moaning]

[screaming]

[cheerful whistling]

So, how long have you been here?

[screams]

Ya don't say?

Well, I'm only here
till my brother comes and gets me.

Prisoner, don't talk to the inhabitants!

Wow!

Look at them chompers!
Can you even close your mouth all the way?

Don't talk to me either!

Just one more question.

Is it hard for you
to eat pasghetti with those?

Not if I cut it up.

Ew!

You cut up pasghetti? Gross.

I said don't talk to me!

Oh, hey. What's this thing do?

Oh, no!

Oops.

Well, on the bright side,
now we can keep talking.

[screams]

So this one time,
I found a shoe on the side of the road,

and I decided to pick it up…

If that mug's brother thinks
he can steal my pitchfork,

he's got another thing coming.

Duh, but boss,
you can't just kidnap people

and bring 'em down here.

It's against the rules.

Rules?! I don't care about rules!

They stole my pitchfork!

Half of my powers
are tied up in that thing.

I can't zap stuff, I can't sh**t fire.

I can't even teleport!

Duh, well, at least
you can still transform.

That's not as much fun as sh**ting fire!

It was my whole style.

I was so expressive
when I had my pitchfork.

Now I don't even know
what to do with my hands. I…

[exclaims awkwardly]

[sighs sadly]

Duh, you still got that big spoon
that came with it.

Would you put that thing away
before someone sees it?

It's embarrassing.

It's time to even the score with that cup.

First, I'll crush
his beloved brother's spirit.

-♪ La-la, la-la ♪
-[screams]

Look at that blue-nosed buffoon.

This will be so easy.

Duh, I dunno, boss.

I wouldn't underestimate Mugman.

Oh please!

I bet I can break his spirit
before the clock strikes .

[Henchman] I'll take that bet.

What? I wasn't actually suggesting…

Uh… Mm!

All right, Henchman, what's on the line?

An all-expense-paid trip
to the destination of my choice!

Deal.

And no cheatin'.

[mock gasps] Why, Henchman!
You cut me to the quick!

[menacing music plays]

[panting]

Huh?

"On vacation"?

Sorry, Quadratus, it's an emergency.

Incoming fizzy jawbreaker!

[rumbling]

[Quadratus] I appreciate
your summoning donation.

But not while I am on vacation.

I'm sorry, but the Devil took my brother!

I need your help to get him back!

Ugh, fine.

Let the pitchfork be your passport.

Slam it down for instant transport.

Sounds great. Now you're talking!

Although, if you'd like to travel faster,
it takes , years to master.

A thousand years to master?

Yeah, right. Watch this.

[gasps]

[mumbles fearfully]

Phew!

There has got to be
another way to get there.

If you cannot cope with such delay,
there is perhaps a riskier way.

Now, listen carefully, you will have to…

[operator] Please insert
another fizzy jawbreaker.

-[dial tone ringing]
-[gasps]

…no other.
And that is how you save your brother.

Wait! I had to put in another jawbreaker!
I missed everything!

What?

Even the part about the ancient contract
of pitchfork ownership?

What's the ancient contract
of pitchfork ownership?

-Finders keepers, losers weepers!
-[rumbling]

Finders keepers?

Well, I found it.

So if the Devil wants it back,
he's got to make a deal!

Now, how do I get down there?

And make it snappy, Quadratus!
That was my last jawbreaker!

Snappy I shall make this talk
if you take hold of this here chalk.

[mystical music plays]

[suspenseful music playing]

[laughs]

[laughs]

Yes!

Hey! How you doing, champ?

Hot enough for you?

[groans]

Heh. Not too… [gasps] …steamy, is it?

Nah, I'm comfortable.

[panting]

[hissing]

[wheel squeaks]

Whew!

[sighs heavily]

[cheerful music plays]

So, are you enjoying the underworld?

Thinking about how you're going
to spend the rest of eternity?

Just passin' the time
till Cuphead comes to save me.

What? You think
your brother's going to save you?

[chuckles]

He thinks his brother is going
to come down here and save him!

[laughs]

"Ha-ha"?

Oh!

[all laughing weakly]

[screams]

[chuckles gleefully]

Exactly how long do you think
you've been down here?

I dunno. A couple of days?

Oh, Mugman, Mugman, Mugman.

It may feel like that,
but it's actually been years.

And I'm afraid that by now

your dear brother Cuphead is

dead!

Great, so he's here then!

What? No, he's dead.

But he's not here. He's…

Not buying it.

What?! Oh! Not buying it?

Listen, I know my brother,

and if he's not down here,
then he's not dead,

which means he's coming to save me.

[grumbles]

[Henchman vocalizing]

[gentle hula music plays]

[growls]

[Quadratus] With this chalk,
now draw a square.

Do not delay. You're almost there.

[mystical music plays]

Now, read the inscription on the chalk.

Okay. [clears throat]

"Surface world, I'll see you later."

"Down I go in this elevator."

[rumbling]

-[elevator bell dings]
-[door opens]

Oh! The bike!

-[banging]
-[grunts]

No, no, no.
You have to lift up the bike. Lift--

Lift it up. No, not the back, the front!

The front.

[straining] Got it!

[elevator bell dings repeatedly]

[groans]

[grunts] There.

Well, here goes nothing.

[gulps]

-[bell rings]
-[flames roar]

[ominous music plays]

Finally!

-[lively music playing]
-Anybody up for some volleyball?

[elevator bell dings]

[gasps]

[ominous music plays]

Yikes.

Ugh, why is it so hot down here?

Oh. Right.

[The Devil] Oh, come on!

I've been torturing you all day.
Will you just break already?

[Mugman] I don't know
what you're talking about.

[The Devil grumbles]

[gasps]

[suspenseful music plays]

[yelps]

[ticking]

Duh, cuttin' it pretty close.

Uh… Oh! Say, Henchman, I just remembered.

I have some, uh, dry cleaning
for you to pick up.

Duh, okay.

[comical music playing]

[Henchman] Duh,
what do you think you're doing?

Oh, Henchman!

I was just… dusting.

[chuckles nervously]
It was slow so I just…

Daylight savings?

Boss, boss, boss.

[gasps]

[both exclaim excitedly]

I'm so sorry, Mugsy!

-[The Devil] You're being very rude.
-Shh!

I'm not kidding, Henchman. It was dusty,
it was running way too slow--

You ought to be ashamed.

I'll talk to you later.

[screams]

I don't wish
to discuss this matter any further.

Boss, look, it's Cuphead!

Uh, excuse me, I was talking!

But, boss!

Henchman, you're being very rude.

[grumbles]

[gasps]

[both grunting]

Why didn't you tell me?!

[Henchman groans]

-[screams]
-[Henchman groans]

Hey! Get back here!

[both scream]

I kidnapped you fair and square!

[dramatic music plays]

[gasps]

[exclaiming]

Whoa! [groans]

Come on, Mugsy! Hurry!

[snarling]

Faster!

Look out!

[screams]

[roars]

[hisses]

[roars]

[both scream]

[roars]

-[screaming]
-[gibbers]

-[screaming]
-[snarls]

-[screaming]
-[screeches]

[yelping]

[bicycle bell rings]

-[both] Whoa!
-[roars]

My paintings!

[laughs] Hey, Mugsy, watch this.

[screams]

[gasps] My throne!

I just had that reupholstered!

[groans]

Oh, that really hurts.

[growls]

[Cuphead laughs]

[both panting]

Hey, what are all these tubes?

They're all coming from up there!

Oh my gosh, they're full of souls!

-[bellowing]
-[both scream]

Whoa! Whoa!

-Whoa!
-[screams]

-Ow!
-Cuphead!

[groans]

Will you quit fooling around
and get back on the bike?

Hey! Get off those tubes!

They lead to my…

[groans]

…soul vault.

-[souls moaning]
-[gasps]

Not again!

Curse these hooves!

[grunting]

Serves you right, you big jerk!

[upbeat jazzy music playing]

[Cuphead laughs]

[screams] What are you doing?!

Whoo!

[souls moaning]

Stop that, you rotten brat!

[moaning]

-[moaning]
-Yay!

[screams]

No!

[sobs]

[growls]

Uh-oh, time to go.

[both whimpering]

[both] Whoa!

[gasps] There's the elevator!
That's our ticket out of here.

[brakes squeal]

-[bicycle bell rings]
-[banging]

Come on, come on,
come on, come on!

-[elevator bell dings]
-[both] Whew!

We made it, Mugsy!

Thanks for rescuing me
from eternal torment.

No, thank you
for saving my soul so many times.

[sentimental music playing]

Wait, how come the elevator ain't moving?

[creaking]

-[whimpers]
-[screams]

You porcelain-headed idiots!

Let's get outta here!

[Mugman screams]

[screams]

[laughs]

[gasps]

-Now give me back my pitchfo--
-[bicycle bell rings]

[coughing and gagging]

[grumbles]

[shattering]

Now give me back my pitchfork!

Mm, I don't think so.

I found it fair and square.

-[growls]
-[groans]

Cuphead!

Hey, leave my brother out of this!

You know the rules of pitchfork ownership.

[gasps] Finders keepers.

Losers weepers.

[sighs]

Yeah, that's right.
You want this back? You gotta make a deal.

[sighs] I suppose I have no choice.

Give me my pitchfork
and you can have your annoying brother.

Trade on three?

Trade on three.

One, two…

Wait, wait!
Is it on three or right after three?

On three.

Or should it be after?

No, on three!

Will you just do the trade already?!

[both] Okay, okay!

One…

Two…

[both] Three!

[both gasp and giggle]

Hey, buddy! Welcome back!

All right. The deal is done. Now get out!

Jeez. Mr. Grumps over here.

Somebody needs a nap.

I said…

[in demonic voice] …get out!

[ominous music playing]

[both panting]

[melancholic music plays]

Oh! Back at last, my darling.

[romantic music plays]

[groans]

[smacks lips] Is that grape jelly?

Ew, there's a hair on it!

What… And it's bent?

[in demonic voice] Unbelievable!

Duh, okay, boss. Time to pay up.

[groans]

[both panting]

[both sigh]

Well, I hope you learned
something from all this.

Believe me, Mugsy.
This guy's on the straight and narrow

starting right now.

Whew! Music to my ears.

So, uh, now that you don't owe
the Devil your soul anymore,

what are you gonna do next?

Hmm…

[cheerful music plays]

[all cheer]

[announcer] Winner!

[sighs woozily]

[drum fill plays]

[gentle music playing]

[slurps]

Ah!

Finally, some time
to get away from it all.

[Quadratus] You said it.

To a long overdue break,
for both our sakes.

Cheers to that.

Oh, uh, want a sip?

Don't mind if I do.

[slurps] Mm!

[slurping]

[chuckles]

[slurping]

I said a sip.
