The scene opens outside the Immediate Murder Professionals building. Bendy jumps through a portal and runs inside. Soon, he reaches the company office and opens a door that says "Meeting in progress" on it. Inside, Blitz and the others were waiting for him.

Bendy: Hey, guys. Sorry if I'm late, I was spendin' time with my girls and I lost track of time.

Blitz: Actually, you're right on time, Bendy. Go on ahead and take a seat.

Bendy heads for the table and sits next to Millie as she smiles at the Overlord.

Blitz: Alright, first order of business. I noticed buisness business has been a bit slow lately, yes. It's no one's fault, okay? I'm not naming any names here. *looks at Moxxie* Moxxie. *Moxxie gives him a "What the hell?" look* Now does anyone have any bright ideas on how we can get business drumming up again?

Millie: *excitedly* What about a car wash?

Blitz: This is hell, Millie. No one cares about cars being cleaned here, okay?

Bendy: A bake sale?

Blitz: Hell, no. Remember when you brought in that pecan log?

Camera shifts to the break room where a massive tan log lies on the floor. Loona struggles to lift it, even though she's the strongest of the original 4.

Loona: What'd you put in this fucking thing? Concrete?

Blitz: Ooh, what about a billboard?

Moxxie: We can't afford a billboard, sir.

Blitz: Helpful, Moxxie. Really glad you're in the room right now. *pushes Moxxie away* Have you guys forgotten what service we provide?

Blitz turns on a TV that shows all the IMP's brutally people on Earth which is their job. Then it zooms out to everyone watching the TV, with Loona, Millie, Bendy, and Blitz eating popcorn.

Blitz: Ahh, those were the good times.

Moxxie: I don't need any reminding, sir, considering you blew most of our salaries on an obnoxious TV ad last week. One that you then additionally paid to have run for a full three hours on a channel nobody watches!

Blitz: Uh, hey, excuse me. What's "obnoxious" about a super-fun jingle, all right? It's a fun distraction when an advertisement's spittin' bullshit!

Millie: People love musicals, sir.

Bendy: Yeah, I should know.

Blitz: Exactly, You two. And we're basically doin' a musical. Are you gonna crush my musical theatre dreams like my dad did?

Moxxie: Sir--

Blitz: 'Cause right now, all I see is just my dad's asshole talking to me! Crushing my dreams of being who I truly am inside.

Millie: Are you trying to crush his dreams, Moxxie?

Moxxie: I-- What?

Millie: I thought I knew you.

Blitz: I can't believe you, Moxxie, *holds up an employee of the month plaque with Moxxie's picture on it* after I made you employee of the month!

Moxxie: Okay, sir! I'm sorry, a commercial jingle is not comparable to musical theatre. Nobody actually likes the jingles!

Millie: I liked it.

Bendy: I thought it was good too.

Moxxie: *points at Bendy* You, I'm fine with. But honey, do not-- *points at Millie* Do not agree with him in front of me.
