Cut to the top of Djinjago the next day. Khalla is lying on the bed in Toge's quarters, with Toge sitting beside her.
Khalla: So, I feel like we need to talk about this whole... "constantly escaping" thing. I have no idea how you keep breaking through my security, but don't you think it's time to stop? A marriage is a partnership, beloved, and you're leaving me to plan this wedding all by my lonesome. At least help me pick out a china pattern.
Toge: Well, you want me to fit into my tuxedo, don't you? Assaulting your guards is about the only exercise I get in this place.
Khalla: Ah, I'm glad you brought that up, actually. You've been laying into the poor boys quite a lot, and... well, their... psych bills are really starting to add up. Especially dear Shoko. I don't know what you have against her specifically, but she's starting to take it personally.
Toge: Yeah, I go pretty hard with Shoko. Is she in today?
Shoko: NO! Uh... I-I-I mean... *Low pitched voice* Shoko's out sick today! Uh...
Shoko laughs nervously.
Khalla: *Sighs* Well, I suppose I can forgive such trifles. You might as well indulge these base urges now. I can assure you that there will be none of that once the project is complete. You should see some of the househusband protocols I'm cooking up once you take my hand in marriage. Somewhere between Leave it to Beaver and hardcore porn. Woof!
Toge: So, how exactly is that gonna work, by the way? Am I gonna, like, have a remote, we goin' by Alexa rules, or we just doing a full Stepford?
Khalla: Oh you. Always asking questions, probing at the armor. It'd almost be adorable if it wasn't such a nuisance. Much like that little girl toy of yours.
Toge: What?
Khalla sits up.
Khalla: Oh? That certainly got a reaction. Did I finally find a nerve?
She gets up off the bed and walks towards the table.
Khalla: Well, you'll be happy to know that we detected her and your friends plotting. No doubt the little pissant thinks she's going to charge in here and save you. The fool. I suppose I could simply banish her to another realm, but where's the fun in that?
Khalla sits down at the table.
Khalla: No, I think I'll let her struggle for a while. Allow her to garner her forces, claw her way to the top, only to find the gates completely impregnable. *Chuckles* I can hardly even imagine the satisfaction of seeing that glimmer of hope die in her eyes! *Chuckles* It should be quite the show.
Khalla's eyes go crazy.
Khalla: Don't you think, my dear Basim?!
Toge: I think if you touch a single hair on her head, I'm gonna be wearing your guts like my mom's pashmina.
Khalla: ...Excuse me?
Toge: I'm sorry. Did I frickin' stutter? I said if you hurt her, you will experience pain and torment beyond anything you could possibly imagine. Your body will be torn apart, piece by piece, as you beg for a mercy that will never come. I will add your screams to my goshdarn Spotify, and I will see your head mounted on a fudging pike!!!
Khalla: Y-You should hear how ridiculous you sound right now. Th-That profanity filter's I put on you is doing you no favors.
Toge glares at Khalla with unholy fury, as hellfire seems to radiate around him.
Khalla: *Growls* Listen here! I am your Queen, and you will not disrespect me like this! Threaten me all you want, spit on my face, stomp on my nonexistent tail, but you and I both know you're powerless to stop me! Like it or not, you are going to clean up your act, we are going to have a beautiful wedding, and you are going to spend the rest of your life in blissful, mindless servitude! NOW WILL YOU PLEASE HELP ME PICK OUT A GOSH DARN CHINA PATTERN?!!!
