Chapter 17: Company Man… of La Mancha
We can see the Gadd house. In the sky appears the chapter name. Inside, Captain Gills is somehow getting his bowl downstairs. He was with Cackletta in the last chapter, you say? Uh, too bad, I changed it so he wasn’t there! He sees the doorknob melt.
Captain Gills: Hey! Yo! YO! Stop that!
He starts going on a rant as the door is pushed open, with Bowser and Toad entering.
Bowser: Gar! I’m sick of that fish!
Toad: Bowser, don’t nuke the fish.
Bowser: Fine. Wow, there are more pictures of that fish than of their kids. Let’s check his computer!
Toad: He’s a suspicious guy, and he was already raided by the FBI. I doubt he’ll leave anything suspicious out in the open! Oh wait, we just said each other’s lines. Except for the thing about the pictures of the fish.
Bowser: Oh wait, I hear them pulling up. Okay, I’ll nuke Gadd, and you watch!
Toad: No, I’d recognize that pulling up sound anywhere. That’s a minivan. He’s with his family.
Bowser: And?
Toad: You can’t nuke his family!
Bowser: I can’t do NOTHING! But I think he has something to lose so he might cooperate more!
Toad: Wow, you really are smart after all!
Bowser: Sure, let’s go with that.
Then they repeat the scene where they appear, even the part where P.T. lowers down on the rope.
P.T.: Sorry, I wanted to be part of the action.
Toad: Were you there the whole time?!
P.T.: Nunya! Oh, and I’m bored, so I’m staying.
Cackletta: What’s going on?
Mimi: YEAH!
Being worried about a nuclear Koopa possibly getting worked up, Toad reads Bowser’s thoughts.
Bowser: (Okay, stay calm. Remember that pie waiting for you on the table… Oh yeah, pie. Awwwww, I’m hungry! I WANNA EA- No wait, calm…)
Gadd: Okay, guys, this is Officer Toad of the Toad Town Police-
Toad: Actually you got me fired from that.
Gadd: Uh, I don’t know what you mean. Now stop pointing guns at us, if a bullet hits a wall it might wreck the Feng Shui!
Bowser: After what you did I don’t need guns, huh?!
Gadd: Uh, I don’t know what you mean? I’m just a paper salesman!
Bowser: LIES AND SLANDER!
Suddenly Gadd has a flashback! 15 years ago, a younger Gadd is sitting in front of a desk. The desk is owned by a completely black stickman. His nameplate reads “Game and Watch”.
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep! Honk, honk, beep!
Gadd: How do I feel about the paper? Wildly enthusiastic (not).
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep! Honk, honk, ring-ring!
Gadd: As far as my family and friends are concerned, paper is my life?! … But I AM new regional manager of Dunder Mifflin? Nice! Nice cover by the way.
Mr. Game and Watch: Honk!
Gadd: “No one must know what we do.” What do I look like, six?
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep, beep!
Gadd: But I have to do things that would morally be in the gray area? Sure, why not?
Mr. Game and Watch: Ring!
Gadd: No, I don’t have a cookie on me.
Mr. Game and Watch: Honk, honk, honk!
Gadd: I have to team up with one of THEM?! And he’s already here?!
A younger and better kept Waluigi appears.
Flashback over!
Bowser: So, uh, what goes on at your paper place?
Toad: He abducts them, then gives them hash marks on their necks and makes us forget! I just lost my job and I’m trying to keep my marriage going, but NOOOO! Just as long as we don’t remember! You don’t even feed us!
Cackletta: Forget?
Mimi: (The Shadow…)
Toad: You’re right, tell her what she won, announcer guy!
Announcer: Well Toad, Mimi Gadd has previously won a toaster oven, two all-terrain vehicles, and a plasma screen TV! And now she just won a gift card good for five minutes of free shopping at the nearest Goldbobbingtons!
Toad: All right, for your next challenge, you have to get through this obstacle course, defeat the sumo wrestler, then complete Super Mario Galaxy in five minutes. What will she win?
Announcer: Well Toad, if she wins this, she’ll get the grand prize… A MILLION DOLLARS!
Toad: Oh, that’s nice. Anyway yeah, you’re right. The Shadow.
Gadd glares at Mimi. Everyone else just looks.
Bowser: She knew?
Toad tries to read her mind.
Mimi: (It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault, it’s all your fault, it’s all your fault-)
Toad: Well Elvin, looks like you haven’t fooled her! Kind of like someone gave me a Sudoku puzzle, but I didn’t have any problems. So The Shadow managed to fool her mom and brother and second cousin’s aunt twice removed, but not her!
Cackletta: Huh?
Mimi: Nothing.
Toad: Tell us the truth, Gadd.
Gadd: I am?
Bowser: No, I am!
His hands start glowing.
Green Shy Guy: You might want to see a doctor about that.
Bowser: Put me back to normal! And read me a bedtime story!
Later, Toad and Mimi are in the study, while Bowser watches everyone in the living room.
Green Shy Guy: Can I go to the bathro-
Bowser: NO.
Kool-Aid Man: Why am I still here? Oh yeah, I was bored.
Back with Toad and Mimi…
Mimi: (Okay, I just need to get out-)
Toad: No. Yeah, I can read minds. AND IT’S ALL YOUR DAD’S FAULT! I bet he also got to some of the guys at that homecoming game.
Mimi: (Like Dimentio!)
Toad: What do you know about him? He can read minds too.
Mimi: And heal, like me…. OH DAD, don’t tell me my dad did this to me!
Toad: Hmmm….
FLASHBACK (14 years ago)
Waluigi and Gadd are looking through a greenhouse window. It’s on the roof where Bob’s dad lived.
Waluigi: So this woman died in the fire, and she had a baby?
Gadd: I guess.
The two walk out of it and talk to Mr. Game and Watch, who’s talking to a blue Yoshi around his early thirties.
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep, beep!
Waluigi: But I don’t want to go back in there! Ugh, fine.
Waluigi goes back in the greenhouse. He passes a small, green Yoshi playing a Nintendo DS. Gadd stays and the blue Yoshi turns to talk to Gadd. He’s holding a baby green thing. In case you haven’t guessed, this is Aquashi and his kid, Yoshi. But who’s the baby he’s holding?
Aquashi: Yoshi! Hah! Woooow! (Was there any sign of the mother?)
Gadd: Woooow! (No, she probably died in the fire.)
Aquashi: Yoshi! (Being a dad changes a guy. And it turns your hair gray. But Yoshis have no hair. Except that one in Paper Mario 2. I’m jealous! Anyway, you’ll see what I mean when you adopt the baby.)
Gadd: Hmmmmm!!! Owowowow! (But-)
Aquashi shoves the baby into his hands and leaves. Waluigi comes up to Gadd.
Waluigi: Awww…
FLASHBACK OVER
Everyone is now in the living room.
Mimi: Do I have a super power as some kind of experiment?
Cackletta: Mimi, don’t talk to him that way.
Toad: Yeah, maybe we should go Bowser. Besides, I’m gonna miss Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader.
Bowser: But the cure!
Toad: What do we do if there isn’t?
Bowser: (I’ll end all our games. Wait, why am I thinking this when I could just say it? Wait, I can think! HA! IN YOUR FACE, MOM!) Anyway, get some answers!
Toad: Okay.
Gadd: (Yoshi! Woooow! Owowowowow! Hmmmmm!!! Yoshi!)
Toad: Aw crud, he’s thinking in Yoshinese!
Bowser: WHY ARE YOU THINKING IN YOSHINESE?!
Gadd: (There’s a safe in the bookcase in the den.)
Toad tells Bowser, who goes to check it out and suddenly lunges into the fireplace and pulls out a snack cake, then eats it.
Gadd: I needed that.
Gadd then leaps and pulls a mini Bill Blaster out of the mouth of a Cheep Cheep mounted over the fireplace. He turns, but Toad kicks it out of his hand, then Bowser comes back and grabs it.
Bowser: RAAA!!!
Bowser pushes Cackletta down and aims the mini Blaster at her.
Mimi: Mom?!
Toad: Bowser, take it easy, remember that pie on your table.
Bowser: OH COME ON! HE ENDED MY WIFE’S GAME, WHY CAN’T I END HIS WIFE’S?
Toad: Well first, she didn’t feel that way about you-
Bowser: Silence, nonbeliever!
Mimi: Dad, just tell them! Or you can just shoot me instead.
Cackletta pushes Mimi away. Toad starts hearing thoughts.
Gadd: (Shoot Peach.)
Mimi: (Shoot me!)
Gadd and Mimi: (GO ON! SHOOT HER/ME!)
Kool-Aid Man: (Oh yeah!)
Bowser starts warming up to attack, but Toad then decides to shoot Mimi. Cackletta closes her eyes and opens them up to see Mimi on the ground.
Cackletta: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Pac-man: Wokka wokka wokka! (Why am I here?)
P.T.: Because!
Cackletta and Bowser: WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Toad (to Bowser): So he’ll know how far we go!
Birdo: That’s as far as you go!
Bowser: Stop following me!
Birdo runs off.
Gadd: (Right hook!)
Toad: Huh?
Gadd punches Toad, sending him to the floor.
Gadd: YOU FREAKING KILLED MY DAUGHTER!
He’s about to hurt Toad, but Bowser points the mini Blaster at him.
Wolf O’ Donnel (next to Bowser, to Gadd): Can’t let you do that, Star Fox.
Gadd: Ugh…
Peppy Hare (next to Gadd, to Gadd): Do a barrel roll!
Gadd: Okaaay…
Gadd goes over to Cackletta.
Gadd: (Hey Toad, move her body before she heals!)
Toad: Huh? Oh! UH, EVIL LIAR! LET’S MOVE HER BODY, SO HER FAMILY DOESN’T SEE HER LIKE THIS!
Gadd: You don’t have to talk so loud, it’s a small room. The furniture makes it look larger.
Soon, the two of them lay Mimi’s body on her bed.
Gadd: Thanks.
Toad: Yeah, Bowser was totally going for your wife.
Mimi comes back to life and pulls the mini Bullet Bill out of her.
Mini Bullet Bill: The light! Oh how I missed the light!
She flicks it away and it lands on the ground out the window with its back end sticking out.
Mini Bullet Bill: No! Not the dark again!
Gadd: Look who finally woke up! Your mom and brother and fish and those two recurring crazy guys and Pac-man are in the living room, but they’re not safe.
Toad: Oh yeah, give your daughter invincibility! That’s not favoritism or anything!
Gadd: I didn’t do anything to you people!
Mimi: You still ruin everyone’s lives at a freak factory!
Gadd: Just do what I say for now!
Mimi: No, I’m calling the police!
Bowser (off-screen): TOAD!
Toad: HOLD ON!
Gadd: Look, my bosses don’t know you’re here, and if they did they’d permanently take you away from us, so I’m trying to give you a normal life.
Toad: He’s right. And now I know what he feels like eating for supper, too.
Gadd: Now stay where you are, or the nuclear Koopa will blow up, and the house will be nuked.
Toad: Now let’s get back downstairs.
Gadd: Now follow my lead. As in my thoughts.
Toad: Uhhhhh, okay.
P.T. walks in eating pudding.
P.T.: You guys are out of pudding.
He goes back downstairs. Hoping he’s too dumb to tell what’s going on, the two men go back downstairs. Meanwhile, Bowser is waiting down there, when Green Shy Guy runs up with a baseball bat and it breaks on his shell. He goes back to the couch. Pac-man tries to bite him, but he pokes himself on a spike, and retracts like he usually does when you lose at Pac-man.
Toad: We want the records of the abductions.
Gadd: Okay, just don’t hurt my family.
Toad: Okay, you go with Bowser and I’ll stay here.
Bowser: Awww, why do I have to go?! I want to stay here so I can do more damage!
Gadd: Fine!
Bowser: But just be back in an hour. If not, look for the mushroom cloud.
Green Shy Guy: Bee Mushroom?
Bowser: *sigh* No.
Gadd: All right, bye!
Gadd and Toad leave.
Cackletta (as they leave): Don’t forget to pick up the milk!
FLASHBACK!
It’s still 14 years ago. Outside the Gadd house, Mr. Game and Watch comes out of the car, where Gadd meets him.
Gadd: I think she’s starting to suspect something. She looked through my bag and found some of the stuff you gave me.
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep!
Gadd: I know, I’m sorry. But the baby’s keeping me up at night and stuff like that!
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep, honk, honk!
Gadd: … You discovered a purple shadow ghost that can’t talk somewhere in Boo Woods?
Mr. Game and Watch: Honk, ringringring!
Gadd: And he can make people forget things? Hmm… Now I’m pondering something.
Later, Gadd enters his house, with a younger Bogmire behind him.
Gadd: She’s upstairs.
Bogmire: Okay.
Gadd: He said you’re mute, so stop talking!
Bogmire: … Ugh, not again…
Bogmire goes upstairs.
FLASHBACK OVER!
Toad: Okay, we have a little over 40 minutes. So what are we bringing him?
Gadd: A tranquilizer. The only thing he wants is his wife, but since she’s gone, he wants mine gone.
Toad: Ooookaaaay… Will I remember this?
Gadd: Maybe, if you’re good. But to keep your memory, that means no ice cream though.
Toad (like in Mario Galaxy): Oh no…
Meanwhile, Cackletta and Green Shy Guy are watching Bowser make mini explosions in his claws.
P.T.: … Would any of you mind if I turned on the TV?
Cackletta: Yes! … Who are you?
P.T.: … Never you mind!
P.T. walks away. Upstairs, Mimi is watching. At Dunder Mifflin, Bogmire sees Gadd and Toad approaching.
Bogmire: Aww, did you guys bring me cake for my birthday?
Gadd: It’s your birthday?
Bogmire: … I just died a little.
Gadd: Guess who found out where I live?
Bogmire: Michael Moore?
Gadd: Oh, and GUESS WHO FOUND OUT YOU CAN TALK?!
Gadd slams Bogmire up against the wall.
Bogmire: Hello! In every nearly scene with me, I whine about not being called by my name! I even spoke when we first met! And just now!
Gadd: Still! Does anyone else know about Mimi?
Bogmire: Uhhh-
Gadd: WHY DIDN’T YOU WIPE HER MEMORY?!
Bogmire: My previous instructions were more important.
Gadd: Who?! Someone in this company?
Bogmire: Actually someone in her life.
FLASHBACK!
7 years ago, Gadd is driving a car with Waluigi in the passenger’s seat.
Waluigi: What are we doing?
Gadd: Something about a security breach. Which would be you. You’re a breach. They said you’re hiding one of THEM.
Waluigi: Kinda.
Gadd: Why?!
Waluigi: I forgot. I heard you when you were all saying you’d kill me.
Gadd is driving on Mushroom Bridge and stops in the middle.
Gadd: Ugh. Get out.
Outside, Waluigi is near the edge.
Gadd: Please just tell me who you’re hiding so I don’t have to do this.
Waluigi: Wait, you’re ending my game like nothing?
Gadd: You went against the company! Now tell me!
He pulls out an empty mini Blaster.
Waluigi: What if it’s Mimi? Look, I’m not hunting down my own kind! You don’t have to-
Gadd shoots. Waluigi is shot some more for good measure and starts randomly switching between visibility and invisibility. He then jumps over the side. Gadd walks up to the edge and sees nothing.
Gadd: *sigh* He was the tallest person I’ve known.
FLASHBACK OVER!
Toad is following Gadd and Bogmire down the hall.
Gadd: Just protecting her!
Bogmire: You’re not doing good at that!
Gadd: She’s safer in plain sight!
Bogmire: For now.
Toad: Yo, guys! Crazy nuclear Koopa at your house! No one’s safe until he gets what he wants. I don’t think that pie on his table will be enough.
Meanwhile, Bowser is at the base of the stairs and goes up to investigate. Mimi comes in from the back door. She grabs a knife and comes into the living room.
Cackletta and Green Shy Guy: Mimi?!
Mimi: Shh!
She uses the knife to cut the tape tying them up that I forgot to mention. Bowser opens Mimi’s door, and Captain Gills hops out in his bowl.
P.T.: Could’ve sworn he was downstairs.
Bowser: … Why are you here?
P.T.: Some days I ask myself that very same question.
Downstairs, she keeps cutting. Upstairs, Bowser uncovers the sheets to reveal a bunch of stuffed bears formed together to shape Mimi’s body. He storms out of the room. Downstairs, Mimi has freed Cackletta and Green Shy Guy. They try to escape, but Bowser shells down the stairs and grabs Mimi and his claws start glowing.
Mimi: AAAHH!
Cackletta reaches the backdoor.
Cackletta: Run, Green Shy Guy!
He escapes.
Mimi: MOM, GO!
Bowser: Wait…
He lets go of Mimi to reveal burn marks where she was held. Then he sees them heal.
Bowser and Cackletta: 0_0
Later, the mother and daughter are tied together.
Mimi: “Mom, go” means GO! It doesn’t mean “Hey Mom, stand still when there’s a crazy guy in the house”!
Cackletta: Sorry.
Mimi: Now I don’t know if DAD did this or if dad did this.
Bowser: DAD didn’t make you special. The big one didn’t.
Cackletta: Yes he did! … So was my memory really erased?
Mimi: Yeah, he said he’s trying to protect us.
Cackletta: Just have faith in your dad!
Bowser: Hey, did your dad tell Toad that you wouldn’t die?
Mimi: idk my biff jill?
Bowser: Well they were certainly chummy when they came back! Seriously, his daughter dies, then suddenly he’s best friends with the cop!
He hears a car pull up and goes to the front door. Gadd and Toad come in. Gadd sees Mimi and Cackletta tied up.
Gadd: Okay, here’s your file.
Bowser: Okay. But why did you feel like shooting The Invincible Transforming Spider Thingy?
Toad: Better than actually hurting someone!
Gadd: Now don’t let my superiors know or they’ll end my game!
Toad: Now revenge or the truth?
Bowser: Uh, I’ll take Truth for $500.
Toad: And that is… CORRECT! Tell him what he’s won, announcer!
Announcer: Well Toad, Bowser has won-
Gadd: Not now!
Bogmire comes in the backdoor. He frees the two and Bowser notices.
Bogmire: Now get out. Go on, shoo!
Bogmire, Mimi, and Cackletta leave but not before Cackletta takes Captain Gills with her. P.T. and Kool-Aid Man are still on the couch.
P.T.: Best, party, ever!
Kool-Aid Man: Oh yeah!
Outside, Green Shy Guy sees his family coming, but he’s confused to see Bogmire.
Green Shy Guy: The police will be here soon!
Inside, Bowser is looking through his file.
Gadd: We found you three months ago after you were giving off of low levels of radiation. We did nothing to you, IN YOUR FACE!
Bowser: You didn’t try to stop it?!
Gadd: Killing you was the only cure!
Bowser: Ugh.
In the kitchen, Mr. Game and Watch sneaks through the backdoor.
Gadd: It was my call. I didn’t want to take you away from your wife and eight kids! EIGHT!
Bowser: But now she’s dead!
Gadd: Sorry.
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep!
Gadd: Mr. Game and Watch! Here?! And you’re sorry for something, too?
Mr. Game and Watch pulls out a (flat and black) mini Bill Blaster.
Gadd: NO!
Toad: You’re gonna cause this guy to explode!
Mr. Game and Watch fires and Toad tackles Bowser to the ground somehow. Bowser’s face starts glowing pink and red rings appear in his eyes.
Toad: (to Game and Watch) SEE WHAT YOU DO?!
Bowser: RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!
A wave of radiation knocks Toad into the kitchen. Gadd tries to stop him but is also knocked back.
Mr. Game and Watch: Honk, honk!
Toad: You’re right.
Kool-Aid Man: Oh yeah!
The two of them rush out the back door, followed by P.T. and Kool-Aid Man. Gadd goes behind a counter and pulls out a needle from his pocket. Out front, Toad walks up to the family.
Toad: It sure is crazy in there, let me tell you!
Mimi: Where’s my dad?
Toad: Inside.
Bogmire sees Mr. Game and Watch and runs away down the street. Mimi heads for the front door, but a window blows up the front windows, so she runs out to the back. In the kitchen, the walls are burning. Gadd starts crawling towards Bowser, who is on his knees, covering his face. Suddenly everything stops. Bowser pulls out a donut and eats it, returns to his pose, and everything starts again. Obviously he lost control. Gadd can’t get too close. Mimi comes up and ducks with him.
Mimi: Uh, here, let me do it. I’ll be fine.
Gadd: True.
He gives her the needle and runs off.
Mimi: You could’ve at least pretended to worry!
Toad runs in and ducks behind the table where Gadd has relocated to.
Mimi: Get him out!
Toad: Okay.
The two of them run outside. Gadd runs up to his wife and they hug. Toad appears.
Toad: Nice work, guy!
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep!
Toad: You’re welcome.
Police cars then pull up. In the kitchen, the whole house is burning. Mimi rushes towards him experiencing violent things I can’t tell you. But she keeps going. Out front, the family can see the house glowing and burning. Then there’s a big explosion.
P.T. and Kool-Aid Man: Coooooooool…
The front door is blown off its hinges and goes flying (hitting Gourmet Guy). The glowing stops and Mimi appears in the doorway. She’s terribly damaged, but alive. Her skin starts to heal as she heads for her family. They all group hug, Captain Gills included. Mr. Game and Watch is clearly touched, even though you can’t see it.
Toad: Aww, does someone need a hug?
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep.
Toad: Good, I don’t like hugging.
Gadd looks and sees Mr. Game and Watch staring at him.
Toad: Yeah, he’s not too happy.
Later in Dunder Mifflin, Mr. Game and Watch and Gadd are walking down a hall. Mr. Game and Watch walks with frame by frame movement.
Mr. Game and Watch: Honk, honk, beep!
Gadd: It was a good thing I called you when you did? Anyway, do I have to kill him? Did you find him? Can I have a cookie?
Mr. Game and Watch: Ringringringringring!
Gadd: He must’ve figured I’d turn him in? You want to know how long he’s been hiding her, too? Probably months. She’s trusting The Shadow over me! Me!
Mr. Game and Watch stares.
Gadd: I know I’m just her surrogate father!
The two enter a viewing room with a cell where you can see Bowser strapped to a table.
Mr. Game and Watch: Honk, beep, honk, beep!
Gadd: Study him and find out how he gets his spark? Then what?
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep!
Gadd: What do I think? Oh…
Meanwhile in a medical room, Toad is out cold on a table with lots of monitors. Above him, a white Squeek, with a red-orange mask and shoes whose tail curl is shaped like a heart instead of a curl, is writing on a chart. She looks up when Gadd and Mr. Game and Watch enter.
Mr. Game and Watch: Beep!
Gadd: A partner who always knows what I’m thinking? Hmmm… Is that Squeek one of them too?
Mr. Game and Watch: Ring!
Gadd: She’ll clean up the mess I made?! AND WHEN CAN YOU BE EXPECTING MIMI?! *sigh* ... I’ll get her now.
Later, Gadd is driving down the same road he was on with Waluigi, with Mimi in the passenger’s seat.
Mimi: Where am I going?
Gadd: I dunno.
Mimi: Will I ever see Mom or Green Shy Guy again?
Gadd: Still don’t know. I was trying to protect you.
Mimi: I know.
Gadd: I did the best I could.
Mimi: I know.
FINAL FLASHBACK!
3 years ago, Gadd is at a counter in his house with Mimi next to him. He lays out a bunch of glasses and tries some on, and she gives her opinion on each. And they’re having fun together.
Mimi: If Grandpa needed glasses, then you did, will I?
Gadd: Oh my. I guess it’s time. You were adopted!
Mimi: Who are my real parents?
Gadd: Us.
Mimi: Biologically.
Gadd: That doesn’t matter, just as long as we care.
Mimi: Okay. Now try these.
She hands him the swirly glasses that he wears now.
Gadd: And?
Mimi: I like them. What do you guys think?
The camera pans over to three people at a table.
Randy Jackson: Yo, dawg! Those glasses are tight, dawg! I wish mine were like that, dawg! Dawg! … Dawg.
Paula Abdul: They look pretty!
Simon: I think they’re terrible.
Gadd presses a button and Simon falls through a trapdoor. For amusement, he does the same to the other judges.
FLASHBACK OVER!
The car stops in the middle of the bridge, just like seven years ago. Bogmire is waiting. The two get out and Mimi is behind Bogmire as Gadd goes to the edge.
Gadd: Bye, Mimi. I’ll tell DAD you said hi.
Bogmire creeps over, pulling out a mini Blaster.
Mimi: What?! How can you do this?! Isn’t there something else you can do?!
Bogmire: Nah, it’s the best way.
Gadd: (whispering to Bogmire) Okay, aim for my abdomen. Any higher and it’s game over for me. (out loud) Mimi, turn around and cover your ears that aren’t visible.
She does. Bogmire readies his mini Blaster and gets Gadd in the abdomen. He slumps against the side of the bridge.
Gadd: (whispering) Now go deep and take anything that would lead them to her.
Bogmire: Okay.
Mimi runs up to him.
Mimi: I love you.
Gadd: I love me too.
Mimi: …
Bogmire: All right, enough sad moment-ruining, let’s do this thing.
He wraps his gooey arm around Gadd’s head.
