She trying to mend the coffee maker
Gloria: Hmm...
They pop up next to her
Cricket: Hiya, Gloria. What'cha doin'?
Gloria: Tryin' to figure out how to fix this thing.
Baraka: I can fix it for ya!
He gets out pilers
Baraka: What'cha got here is a classic case of too many wires. A little clip-clip, snip-snip, and we'll be good to go.
He reaches for the wires inside
Gloria: No! Cricket and Baraka, that's never the problem!!
Cricket: Aaaaaaaand...
She knocks his hand away with a shovel
Gloria: No! Cricket and Baraka, stop it!
They reach again
Baraka: I just gotta get in there...
She blocks them again
Gloria: Stop it.
Cricket: Just let us--
They growls
They begin to fight each other
Baraka: Gloria!
Gloria: You're gonna make it worse!
Their tools jab right into the wires, spewing smoke everywhere
They both yelps
The smoke clears
They coughs
She groans
Gloria: Cricket and Baraka, you both need to listen to me!
They growls
Cricket: But we're co-workers! Which means sometimes you both need to listen to me! We've got all sorts of great ideas!
Gloria: Pfft. Like what?
Baraka: Well, for starters...
He sits on the pastry display and holds two bagels
Baraka: Why do we have bagels when we can have donuts? Bagels are boring!
He points to the order boards
Baraka: And also, why do all the prices have to end in nine? Why not end in a three? We like three!
He goes over to a display of paintings on the wall
Baraka: And these weirdo paintings of nothing should be replaced with paintings of actual things, like dogs wearing swimsuits.
Shows a painting of what he imagined
[Dog barks]
He pounding a fist
Cricket: Everyone. Likes. Dogs!
Gloria: Whoa, whoa! These paintings are abstract art! Of course I wouldn't expect you both to understand it. The artist poured their heart out, and this canvas caught the pieces.
Cricket: Eww!
They laughs
Cricket: Gross.
Gloria: Ugh, whatever. You two wouldn't know good artworks if it kicked you both in the butt. I'm going on break! You both in charge until I get back!
They inspired
Cricket: In charge, huh?
They look at the paintings
