[The camera pans out from a nearby screen, focusing on Charlie and as she fixes Charlie's bow.]
Vaggie: *exhales* Okay! You remember what to say?
Charlie: *inhales* Yes! Let's do this!
Vaggie: (in a serious tone) Just, look at me and I'll mouth it to you.
Charlie: Come on, Vaggie! *bends backward* I know what to say! I just feel like we need to...I don't know, *grabs and throws a doughnut away* make things sound more exciting! *Gasps* Hooo! What if I si-
Vaggie: *cutting Charlie off* -Sing a song about it?
Charlie: You knew I was gonna say that! *boops Vaggie on the nose*
Vaggie: Because I know you *fixes her bow again*. But, please don't sing! *shakes Charlie* This is serious!
Charlie: Well, you know, I'm better at expressing myself and my goals through song!
[Charlie stands on the table where are happily munching on doughnuts, watching her.]
Vaggie: But, life isn't a musical, hon. *places hands on hips*
Charlie: Fine. But, I have these other ideas of what to say! *starts bouncing a bit as she shows Vaggie a piece of paper*The highlighted bits are the best part!
Vaggie: Uh, it's all highlighted. *squints* Is this a drawing...?
Charlie: Yes! That's the happy ending, see?! *begins to fantasize* Everyone smiling and happy in !
Vaggie: *pinches the bridge of her nose* I don't think it's that simple. Just please follow the talking points we went over. And *grabs Charlie to face her* do not sing!
Charlie: Okay, fiiiine. (in a faux British accent) I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improv skills! *salutes Vaggie as she walks over to Katie Killjoy*
Charlie: (nervously) Hiii! I'm Charlie. *tries to go for a handshake*
Katie Killjoy: Katie Killjoy. *blows out the smoke of her cigarette* I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, but that would be a lie. *throws away her cigarette* And you can put that away. *gestures to Charlie's hand* I don't touch the gays. I have standards!
Charlie: Yeah? How's uh... how's that working out for ya? [turns to look at the "Hell's #1 News" neon sign behind her]
Katie Killjoy: Look, my time is money. So, I'll keep this short. [proceeds to poke Charlie's chest and nose] You're not here because we wanted you here. You're here because Jeffrey couldn't make it for his cannibal cooking segment.
[A billboard of Jeffrey's cannibalism cooking show titled "It's Dahm Good!" can be seen in the background.]
Katie Killjoy: You might be some royal big shot *fluffs her hair*, but that doesn't mean shit to me. I'm too rich and too influential to give a flying fuck about what some tux-wearing demon *does air quotes with her fingers* "princess" wants to advertise.
[Tom can be seen shaking his head in disapproval as Katie boasts about her wealth and influence to Charlie.]
Charlie: But, I-
Katie Killjoy: *continues to poke her chest* So, don't get cute with me, honey, or I will fucking bury you!
News Staff: And we're live!
